Hrm/531 Week 1 Reflection

I would do this by stating that a compensation professional can be a full time employee that knows the company and what the company need, they can be cost effective, and there is a level of commitment. When discussing knowing a company, this also means knowing the customers and the competition. The compensation professional can learn who the customers are, what the needs are of the customer, and even why they actually buy or use the service. With the compensation professional being full time, the employee can do the research needed to find this information. They can also aid in the process of find the ends and out of the competition. This gives the business a competitive edge. In addition, knowing and understand the needs of the customer is the centre of a successful business. This information or knowledge, one can use

Chapter one started off with an interesting case about a married couple, who are doctors and decided to work within the same hospital. Soon after they started to work there, their marriage started to suffer and in the end they decided to get a divorce. Mr. Whittamore decided that he was going to leave the hospital and was thinking about opening his own clinic, even though it was against his contract. He thought that he would go talk to Singson and explain the situation to him and see if the contract could be overlooked and allow him to open his clinic. Singson told Whittamore that the contract would stand. Singson responds made Whittamore upset and the conflict between Singson and Whittamore started. The chapter continued talking about the approaches that people may use in order to

As of next week, we will require that all employees at Semper Absum take a mandatory one-hour lunch break away from their desks. After hiring an efficiency expert, we were informed that many employees were not taking a lunch-break and instead were using work time to attend to personal matters. Statistically, employees who do not take a lunch break tend to be less productive during the rest of the day.

If you review table four and reference the savings from year one to year two you can determine the potential return on investment. The clinic did not obtain the full impact of the revenue in year one because having to account for initial cost of implement billing system that has the feature of e-statements. I used the total financial return from year one as a starting point. I did not move over the one-time costs to the second year and other one-time costs. For example, the one-time cost of the new billing system would only apply to year one. The clinic then would utilize the $208,960 savings per year going forward. The savings that I determined her would be calculated at a minimum amount for what the entire billing system would do for the clinic. The clinic has other departments that would benefit from this billing system and the new features the system has to offer. I would recommend the clinic go with this product and new workflow that I have identified.

Daniel emphasized how strict the entertainment departments budget were that I caused them to go over budget by not taking breaks and that from there on out I would be getting scheduled 28 hours a week. David changed my time sheet and added breaks on days that I did not take breaks. Daniel also stated that by the time I had replied to Davids missed time punch text that the time sheet was already sent in. I asked Daniel how this could be corrected and he told me he would have to check with HR but that I could just not clock out for 3 days. Daniel also asked me I meant by "I was doing lead work". I replied by telling him I lead my staff, performed closing lead duties; such as End of Day report, contacting guest services, reporting directly to

Have you ever felt unappreciated in a job? Do you feel on edge that at any given moment you could be replaced? Or has someone you are supposed to trust to put down your efforts? An effective leader should make sure you aren't left wondering these questions. I have worked in the special education department at a high school for three years under the guidance of the principal. During that time I have not been told that I am doing a good job or given any recognition. I am not alone because the majority of the department share the same feelings. Instead of mentoring us into the type of employees he desires he makes these negative comments. With no justification, since he rarely takes time to visit our classrooms, he has called us a “toxic department” and has repeatedly said “we should just start with a clean slate”. In the beginning I tried to approach him however, he

For the summer of 2015, I enrolled as a student in University of Maryland University College (UMUC) to start the journey of earning a bachelor's degree in Cyber Security. For the starting course requirements, Writing 101s was one of the three classes I had picked to begin with. When I first started off in this course, I considered my writing skills poor, with unorganized paragraphing and horrible grammar skills. Now, I am able to write great with more organized essays, proper sentence structures, and also gained researching skills for future research projects or assignments. This course has dramatically increased my confidence in writing and I feel that I am able to write at college level and not middle or high school.

In 2011 I decided upon a career change away from a fast paced sales environment and towards my ambition of becoming a teacher. Since leaving school in 1997 I worked for a small family run architectural hardware company. In my final role with the company my main duties included travelling the country giving seminars to architects and building contractors. It was during the development and delivery of these seminars that I realised I had a passion for teaching. The development of my industry based presentations was thorough and took into account the differing abilities and background of my audience. With constantly shifting standards and regulations, Power Point presentations to create for each session and handouts for the individuals in attendance

"Hi Rannie, I'm analyzing the log files and noticed entry 14 was negative 42. Can you confirm if this is accurate?"

By sending mail directly or making personal calls to all the doctors, administrators, and any other relevant personnel as well as visiting them if possible, we can establish a relationship with the customers at virtually no cost. However, the expected time commitment for the product is the most important part of our marketing strategy. Firstly, we will have to determine the persons to contact at the hospitals and nursing homes. Secondly, our team will have to determine when and how often we contact the target audience. Lastly, we will need to work on our communication skills and make sure that we are striking the right tone and positively convincing them to switch to our product. The response we receive is going to be our yardstick for determining

On July 1, 2015 I purchased a large drink, a small fry, and a cheeseburger with no onions. It was around 8pm there wasn’t very many workers there at the time. I explained to the cashier the reason why I did not want any onions. I was being nice and it seemed like she was concerned. At the same time she looked as if she was upset.

Calculations at EWS project and done reinforcement of column, slab and beam and was given task to work out the Quantities of concrete in Column, beam and slab.

As a student of Memphis, I think that equality should be present now than it ever was in the past. But still, to this day, our economy has not been promoted into becoming equal. With some difficulties, we accomplished our tasks. As a group, we chose an answer. That is the 500k should be divided equally by 50k each. Although my group decided to split the budget equally. I, however, think that the budget should be split in a ranking of the most important job to least important. That meaning the important job gains more money than the least important. As an individual, I would distribute the budget to 3 qualities. The reason being a job qualification, skills, and the economic system which all play a role in society.

With the problems of Y Company identified and recommendations for solutions stated clearly, the implementations of the solutions are stated and summarized on the table below. Leadership should reconsider following the strategy of the company in getting along with the employees. Where they do not work, it is imperative to make changes that conform to the present trends of employees’ refusing to put in their best and leadership making some changes in its strategic approach. The changes should gear towards doing something positive in strategic planning towards the vision, mission, cultural diversity, and ethical harmony leading to good working environment. Awareness and enlightenment can be achieved by allocating about $10,000.00 for purchasing

Structure and innovation are very important concepts to incorporate in an organization in order to maintain employees invested and motivated in the company. As senior manager, it was my role to conduct an evaluation measuring the motivation level of each employee and determining an action plan for each individual. Employee #1 was a great employee with high standards and expectations. His characteristics were a great asset to the company and his high level of achievement was admired. The motivational strategy will focus on achieving competence and goal development. The action plan was to continue to provide additional training in order to enhance knowledge and help the employee reach a level of achievement within his capacity. Self-determination
