With time change is inevitable, but sometimes it must be forced ahead of a given schedule, either way it will not be without drawbacks and consequences. As well the attracting and developing, of a quality workforce, with qualified personnel that are the right fit for a particular job and organization should be considered a must. All of this is a monumental task for any given organization, where the most competent, diverse, and skilled of managers may have problems with accomplishing this function; even with the help of a human resources department this task may be no easier.

In Xe’s attraction of a quality workforce capable of supporting the proposed change of employee accountability and self-restraint in given security contract work situations. Human resource selection will be instrumental in laying the ground work for the mustering, effective, and efficient selection from of a viable pool of the right individuals. These candidates must show enough maturity and capability of displaying the needed restraint and acceptance of personal accountability for their individual actions which are not in line with the ideals, policy, procedures, and objectives of the company and customer. The stringent use of personality testing in conjunction with situational testing and interviews will be greatly supportive in this effort (Pell 2001).
In the development of the selected workforce to support the changes to the accountability and self-restraint of employees in given security contract work situations, training and development will be instrumental. This will be a learning experience in that it will seek a relative, permanent or acceptable change in the employees such that their ability
“Cry about the simple hell people give other people... Cry about the hell white people give coloured folks” (Lee 229) states Dolphus Raymond; this is an excellent example of how African Americans are treated in the book To Kill a Mockingbird. To Kill a Mockingbird is a novel about a fictional town called Maycomb, Alabama, set in the 1930s. The protagonist in the book is a little girl named Scout Finch, who has to face some real-world difficulties, including racism, hardship, and responsibility, which shows her it is not all that easy to make a living.

Alessandro di Mariano Filipepi Botticelli, was born in 1445 in Florence, Italy. He was known as Sandro Botticelli, a Florentine painter. He was considered a very important painter in the Renaissance period. He practiced all kinds of genres and also collaborated with other talented artists. He was often inspired and taught by others, it seems to me that he wasn’t afraid to try new things. He was always involved in his art and for that he got recognized, although it was mostly after his death.
The advantages of relying on tests or assessments to select the best job candidate is highly dependent of whether or not the assessment measures the most influential business outcomes for the company doing the hiring.

For several decades health care has been tied to the economy and with the current downturn we see continued efforts to control and reduce over-head costs. Health care organizations in their effort to become more efficient and address changes in the industry have altered their strategic business plans.

Health care organizations that choose to convert to an electronic medical record system (EMR) have several advantages; most important it increases patient safety, efficiency, cost-effectiveness and security.

Leadership and management must create an atmosphere that will get the buy-in of all stakeholders. Providing information about the process and what methods will be best to make the conversion to an EMR system is an important aspect of the implementation
Allport defines personality as ‘the dynamic organisation within the individual of those psychological systems that determine his unique adjustment to his environment’ (Allport, 1937). An individual’s unique personality traits and attributes are a powerful indicator of how he/she will interact with the work environment. The difference between average and outstanding employees can often be solely personality related. As the employee is the most valuable asset to the company, ‘selecting the right employee during the process is critical’ (Carbery and Cross, 2013, pp. 41-53)
After reviewing and researching the literature with respect to organizational changes, I have come to the conclusion that organizations have always changed. When everything in the world is changing, organization cannot remain islands. They must change to face new challenges. Bolman and Deal (2008) claim organizations have changed about as much as in past few decades as in the preceding century. Bolman and Deal (2008) claim means that the change organizations have experienced in the last decade are almost similar to those they experience in at the end of the twentieth century.

For many years companies have depended on three basic tools, such as résumés, interviews and references to gather qualified candidates. These sources are commonly used in a day to day basis but have proven to be inadequate for consistently selecting good employees. When it comes to hiring and selecting you want to use productive tools to help determine the best decision possible. Using the incorrect tools to hire and test potential candidates causes employee turnover and retention. Companies need to understand what pre-employment assessments are and why they are effective.

Exploring what other companies are doing in hiring and testing, accessing the positives and negatives of each, and lastly offering recommendations to our department.
