Hrm 531 Week 2 Summary

The first thing I do on Monday morning is to check my voice mail and e-mail, then I would prioritize my activities for the week such as organizing department brochures, reviewing and distributing mails, scheduling appointments, assisting students with student self service calls and emails, preparing student reports, assisting registration, updating and reviewing student

With May 1 quickly approaching, I approach a serious crossroad. A major decision is looming. For the first time in my life I have complete autonomy over my next move, and many subsequent choices following. This decision is essential to the rest of my entire life. Of the options presented to me, each and every one have colossal ramifications tied with them. Employment opportunity and financial security, potential life long relationships, and several other consequences are on the line. This begs the question, what exactly am I looking for these next four years and beyond. I have two vastly different options that may be presented to me. On one hand, I can potentially attend University of Michigan, the school I’ve been bred to attend since day one. Also however, I can potentially

Team “C” was hired by Riordan Manufacturing management to overhaul the security features currently employed by the company. Management outlined a comprehensive plan that included a complete hardware refresh, security best practices and end user training. Team “C” will devote resources to assess the physical and network security issues and concerns at each Riordan plant. Once those have been identified, Team “C” will identify the data security issues and concerns present at each Riordan plant. Finally, Team “C” will address web security issues and concerns present at each Riordan plant and recommend a way forward for the company.

As the Ground Station software lead for the Triton Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) program, I recognized that the review of software Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) items had become a continuous “do loop” and was tying up valuable program resources. My team was responsible for the review of over 30 CDRLs and their preparation and review was costing the program almost $15,000 apiece for each review cycle. We had fallen into a rut where the documents were submitted, my team along with subject matter experts would review and provide comments. The contractor team would then respond to these comments without any coordination and resubmit the documents. My team would not agree with the adjudication of the comments so the review process would start all over again. This process needed to improve to save the program both time and money.

As the Ground Station software lead for the Triton Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) program, I recognized that the review of software Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) items was tying up valuable resources and incurring additional costs. Multiple review cycles were no value added to the program. Contractor preparation cost for each submission was almost $15,000 so reducing the number of review cycles was a cost savings goal. My ten person review team was responsible for the review of over 30 CDRLs. The team reviewed and provided comments for each submission. The contractor team would then provide a formal resubmission in response. My team would disagree with the response so the process would start again. This process needed improvement to save both time and money.

Because I have primarily been a content creator for corporate marketing departments and ad agencies and not been charged with the duties of handling overall metrics analyses, I would like to address these specific questions from my observations as a consumer. I will continue my observations from my experience with the online linen company that I used in the previous discussion. As I had indicated before, this company engaged in daily and sometimes twice daily emails after I subscribed to updates on their website when I reviewed their products (which they should have tracked to create personalized emails).

Summarize and discuss your activities at work during each week. Be sure to note any new on-the-job experiences and any unusual events. Discuss any work-related problems, and state how you resolved them. You may write about your activities each day or for a week. Your summaries may be longer than the space allowed below.

Internship week 5, I chose this week to do my training with Finance department since I know it’s one of the most important departments in any organization. So I started it by attending a meeting that was between the employees from different departments to discuss and to update with each other’s for the coming event “the flag day”. They had to find solutions for the issues they’re facing and give suggestions to improve it. After the meeting the director of finance department asked me to call some suppliers that have to work with the foundations in their big project. I and the suppliers agreed that they will come and will meet them to explain more about the project. Met them and gave them soft and hard copies of the exact details to work on

First piece of advice I would offer would be to calm down and let’s make a rational decision. How long as the problem been occurring and are there any plans of action to improve the employee? If not, then I would suggest a warning or correction needs to take place. In some cases, a verbal counseling might be the better way to go. This is a great way to talk about, attendance, communication and other behavioral issues. It appears that it could be an emotional feeling that management is feeling, because of the statement that was made about the employee. It is important for that proper documentation is provided and is there any chances that the employee is salvageable. Often time, there can be training implemented that allows management to correct the problem without termination taking place.

The three questions that need to be addressed within staffing planning are how many people should be recruited, what resources are needed, and how much time will it take to hire employees ( Phillips & Gully, 2015). In regards to how many people should be recruited, it has been suggested that by having more applicants, it allows an organization to be more selective. This can allow the company to identify the candidate who will be the best fit for the position as opposed to hiring the only applicant who applies. Phillips & Gully (2015) mention that staffing yields are the best source of information for determining how many people to recruit and it comes from data being collected during a company’s previous recruiting efforts. Also, one way is

First off we would NEVER throw sales numbers around or guarantee sales it's just not our style . We pride ourselves in being honest and ethical and quoting sales numbers we have absolutely no idea whether we'll hit is even achievable. We tell most new vendors to expect a break even financial situation at best over the first 18-24 months . The first 12-18 months it's imperative that we promote within our distributors ,participate in shows ,offer placement programs.. etc etc..It's all about planting retail seeds that we hope grow and gaining exposure .

this past year has been a difficult one. Joe needs to keep focused on not only ranking, but we also need to pay more attention to productivity of the collectors, and supervisors. Joe continues to show great interest in continuing to grow with the company. this is an area that will assist in getting him recognized quickly. We need consistency in competitive rankings, as well as the productivity from the staff and supervisors.

Thus far we have largely been focusing on the logistics and bureaucratic aspects of preparing to begin research. Professor Barwick, Aashwin, Akrit, Prawesh and I met to discuss when our schedules align for collaborative work. We determined that Thursday afternoons would best suit the majority of us for working in the labs, and that we would all meet at a different point in the week--likely Monday mornings--to discuss our progress. During that meeting, we also visited the lab spaces again and discussed what each area would be used for.

I have always been interested in data, but the thought of processing data intimidates me. I think it scares me because there is a lot of data out there and I wouldn’t know what to do with all of the data. I feel like I would spend more time organizing the data, than I would actually processing into something useful. Then I learned in this week’s lecture that I should not be as intimidated as I am because it’d just data and much of the data collected without a strategy is useless. Too much data is not a good thing because it slows down the whole operations. Company should conduct a strategy first and figure out what they want the data to tell them before conducting any form of research. Once you have the key metric is completed, you can start
