Jobs should be designed to accomplish program purposes and be fulfilling for staff. Then, criteria for jobs must be developed and staff must be hired. New staff need to be oriented, and an ongoing program of staff training and development should be created, based on a needs assessment. Staff should be evaluated annually, using techniques such as behaviorally anchored rating scales, management by objectives, or critical incidents. Striving for a diverse agency workforce is important. This will ensure compliance with relevant laws and executive orders and also increase the likelihood that the workforce will be able to respond to clients in culturally appropriate ways. The use of volunteers, prevention of burnout, and employee assistance programs are other important aspects of human resource…
The field of Human Services is broadly defined, uniquely approaching the objective of meeting human needs through an interdisciplinary knowledge base, focusing on prevention as well as remediation of problems, and maintaining a commitment to improving the overall quality of life of service populations. The Human Services profession is one which promotes improved service delivery systems by addressing not only the quality of direct services, but also by seeking to improve accessibility, accountability, and coordination among professionals and agencies in service delivery. (http://www.nationalhumanservices.org/what-is-human-services). "Human services professional" is a generic term for people who hold professional and paraprofessional jobs in such diverse settings as group homes and halfway houses; correctional, intellectual disability, and community mental health centers; family, child, and youth service agencies, and programs concerned with alcoholism, drug abuse, family violence, and aging. Depending on the employment setting and the kinds of clients served there, job titles and duties vary a great deal. The primary purpose of the human services professional is to assist individual and communities to function as effectively as possible in the major domains of living. A strong desire to help others is an important consideration for a job as a human services worker. Individuals who show patience, understanding, and caring in their dealings with others are highly valued by employers. Other important personal traits include communication skills, a strong sense of responsibility, and the ability to manage time effectively.
