These are called Employee Resource Groups (ERG) and we currently have 13 different organizations that make a deep positive impact in every way. These groups are not mandatory but volunteers who contribute their free time to help others in need. Some groups have volunteer days to help support local homeless shelters or help raise money for charities. We also have a drive to succeed work ethic that’s highly contagious. We have created a diverse culture that promotes a WIN, WIN approach. We know that were only as strong as our weakest link and we don’t leave one another behind. We have an internal education platform that our employees can use to continue improve their current skill set. This helps maintain everyone in to stay ahead of our telecommunications industry curve.

I would advise Shania that an LLC would be the best form of business to accomplish her goals. Shania wants to open a Christian coffeehouse and already has a name in mind. Colorado LLC laws allow LLCs to be formed with one or more members, taxes them at a lower rate like partnerships and sole proprietorships, and provides the members with lower liability that protects them from the company’s debt (Scrofano, n.d.). This form of business will give Shania the ability to name her company what she wants and run it how she wants. The limited liability is also desirable.
Case management has seen rapid growth and expansion over the past decade, securing it a strong foundation in many hospitals and outpatient programs. The use of integrated case management models allows the populations that are served to continue to grow and expand to reach further vulnerable clients and their families. ICM has been found to not only be successful for individuals diagnosed with HIV, but also prisoners in the justice system, the homeless population, and young children and their families navigating difficult custody issues (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2008). It also enables individuals from multiple disciplines to collaborate when it comes to a client’s care plans and their needs. This allows case managers and

People often get caught up in the moment and do not like to think of being sick or in a serious accident that could prevent them expressing their will. In Case Management Monthly a case study was done at Kindred Hospital in San Francisco in 2010 of an elderly mother named Margaret who was brought into the hospital and placed on a ventilator to keep her alive. Her family hoping that she would recover, needed to make decision; however they did not know what their mother wanted. They tried everything to keep her alive, but were unsuccessful (Moran 1). If the patient would have discussed and prearranged an advance directive this uncomfortable position for the family could have been prevented and the family could have enjoyed the last moments of their mom’s life (Mahon 803). As technology and medicine advance, society needs to know of their options of an advance directive. There are many forms of advance directives to help protect your family and have your voice heard when you are not able to communicate. Knowing your options if a serious illness or accident occur can be useful in planning your advance directive.

I have called many places, but I was unable to to volunteer because I am not 18 years old. I also tired volunteering at a hospital but they were not taking anymore volunteers during that time. Something that went right was when I attended a “Black Lives Matter” meeting. We discussed the topic on

The objective of this report was to analyze Vivint-Smart Home Solutions’ performance in terms of organisational culture, management and leadership styles and motivation and how organizations have been affected by them. In this report, we identified that Vivint has an association of Hierarchy and Market organisational culture, relationship-oriented and task-oriented leadership styles and servant leadership style.
