Review the example provided and decide whether this Reflection has met the process writing requirements.
| INTRODUCTION | Set the stage– Identify the part of the learning event that had personal meaning to you. Provide a brief overview. While conducting the financial analysis of my Cost Center, it became apparent that I wrote my budget not knowing that the facility renovation would last so long and impact operations as much as it did. I really have too much Labor budgeted and I have to do something about this quickly without causing all my employees to jump ship. |
| EXPERIENCE | Return to the experience– Describe what you did and how you personalized it for application to your job. I have to look at my financial statements and find a creative solution to my Labor challenges. |
| PERCEPTIONS | Examine your perceptions– Describe how you felt about your learning experience. Was anything missing? What insights did you gain? Do you feel more confident about performing this task? I think my employees are going to like the new schedules. Only in a couple of cases will they have fewer hours, but at least they all get to keep their jobs. I am pleased with this solution and I believe our customers will be happy there is no reduction in the quality of service they receive. |
| EVALUATE | Evaluate the experience– Describe how you will use the new knowledge or skill on the job. I will continue to keep a close watch on Labor dollars. The analysis process learned here gives me the tools and steps to perform regular and accurate analysis of all my revenue and expense lines. |
| SUMMARIZE | Wrap it up– Go over the main points. Identify those which had the greatest impact. I am glad I learned how to identify variances in Labor dollars. It is really easy when you know what to look for. Taking the next steps - what to do about it - is the challenge. |
