HR for this company plays a role as a back office, meaning HR does not have a major role in the company, but just a small department. Decathlon HR recruits employees based on their personality and their ability to work in team, though those people are fresh graduates. Once a new employee enters Decathlon Cambodia, he is given a mentor to help him through the first experience at work. Plus, his manager will set up a schedule and procedure for formal trainings. On probation, new recruits in SPL and QPL will be trained informally everyday with assessment at the end of the day in order to assess his or her ability. As for IPL, there is an end probation assessment which the new recruits have to experience real situation when negotiate in auction for quotas from Decathlon International.

Nevertheless, the types of training to be selected will be discussed with their managers. As for Individual Development plan, at the beginning of the year, individuals are required to set up their
Phosphodiester bonds, 68-95-99.7 Rule, Z-score, glycosidic bonds: these terms run through my head as I study for the upcoming Academic Decathlon tournament. What do all these words mean and when will I ever use them again? I used to think that Academic Decathlon was a competition full of fun trivia that has no real-world application, but now I believe that the competition broadens students’ perspectives of the world around them and fills students with knowledge that becomes useful in the long run. Through the Academic Decathlon, I have discovered new interests in biochemistry and statistics and I believe that only Penn offers a flexible enough curriculum that can accommodate my pursuit in both fields.

The olympics, a game made to honor the ancient grecians god Zeus. They olympics have been around for nearly 3,000 years with the first record being in 776 B.C. but we know that they were going on before because of the myths of the people in their cities playing before.

A concern with the Special olympics is issues with growth management and finance. Since the early 1990s Special Olympics has invested increasing financial and human resources in expanding its international presence and number of athletes. Special Olympics has grown from 1 million athletes in 2000 to 3.5 million in 2011, with ambitious plans laid out in its five-year Strategic Plan to reach 5.3 million athletes by 2015. While increasing geographic reach and athlete participation will be a priority, Special Olympics is committed to the principle of sustainable quality growth, acknowledging that rapid growth must be matched by quality in service and support.

Don’t go into this one only expecting a story behind the Olympics. There is more here of hopes, dreams, accomplishments as well as fulfillments and disappointments and yet at the heart of it all lies the reality that family is first.

Most organizations do not follow-up on the benefits of training as regards staff performance. As a result of this they don’t take training and development as an important factor in organizational growth and survival. Most manages do not know how to assess the return on investment in training, nor are they equipped with the necessary management tools to monitor the decision making process of such investment. It has been discovered that training and development budget is the first cut when the organization is faced with difficulties because most of them are of the opinion that investment in the area of training and development is not linked to the bottom line of the business. Globalization and rapid technological development has changed the conditions for companies and increased competition in the world markets. The quality of a company’s human resources is the key driver for sustained top-level performance. It has become crucial to continually invest in human resource development in order to guarantee success in the global market. As earlier said, managers engage in minimal training thereby not giving quality training to their employees, this in turn affects the overall outcome of the training and the performance of the staff. Most organizations that have a competitive image see more reasons to train their workers than those who are on the lower rung of the ladder of recognition, but training and development is still needed to create a niche. In the light of the above,

Ferdman and Deane (2015) state that inclusion involves both being fully ourselves and allowing others to be fully themselves in the context of engaging in common pursuits.

The greatest athletes of all time have their names set in stone. Every year a new star comes out of the shadows and becomes the focus of global interest. Nations back their athletes financially to ensure they receive a medal. Winning gold in the Olympics Games is seen as the highest honor an athlete can achieve because of its prestigious image. The Olympics have not always been about the athletes. Nations competing have been victims of political scandals. When one country goes against another country, some people do not only view it as a fight for gold, but as a war amongst nations. Soccer fields have become battlegrounds and players, soldiers. Swimming pools turn into bloodbaths, and tennis court nets as do territorial partitions. Since
