...One of the most important outcome of a business is to make a profit and human resources are needed in order to do so. “Want To Boost Employee Productivity ? Offer An Incentive” Nicole Fallon Taylor said it best as Surveys shows that 85 percent of workers surveyed felt more motivated to do their best when an incentive was offered (Genesis Associates, 2015). This involves planning, as providing an incentive could be a means to reach a deadline or a goal in a timelier manner and increase profits. Monetary rewards motivates employees the most, however many employees finds recognition to be more important than cash prizes. Managers organize by bringing together employees (human) and financial resources (incentives – monetary of other forms of recognition) to achieve company goals. When offering incentives the nature/culture of the business as well as the staff will determine the type of incentive that will work best. For instance using cost effective rewards or offering temporary company privileges (an assigned parking space, dress down day and awards etc.) as an alternative to monetary rewards. It is important to identify the type of employees as it will determine if the incentive is given publicly or a small announcement instead. Managers are required to Lead and motivate employees to achieve business objectives and goals. They are also required to communicate effectively and be able to understand the needs of employees. Incentives that are more team based maintains higher productivity...

...Learning Styles- Understanding for Learning Strategies This article (Saga, Qamar, & Trali, 2015) highlights a study done at the Department of Anatomy at Army Medical College. The goal of the study was to identify if the preclinical students were visual learners, auditory learners, or kinesthetic learners. The study was based off of the Visual, Auditory, Reading, and Kinesthetic (VARK) model. The VARK model presumes that students have different ways to process information which are referred to as “preferred learning approaches”. The rationale behind this study is students have particular learning styles and these styles should be lodged by instruction designed to those learning styles (Saga, Qamar, & Trali, 2015). The study was done in two phases. In the first phase, 400 undergraduate students (first and second year) were invited to participate. The purpose of the study was explained and written consent was obtained. Out of the 400 students, 294 consented to provide details and answer the questionnaire. The study was conducted using the VARK version 7.8 questionnaire. Students were given sixteen questions with four options and were free to select more than one answer or not answer the question at all (Saga, Qamar, & Trali, 2015). During the second phase of the study, the data scores were analyzed for the students’ principle learning style and the students were individually informed about their preferred learning style and approach per the results of their...

...used; however this refers to a list of related source material that is not necessarily cited in the document. Remember: • A list of references should appear on a separate sheet of paper at the end of an assignment and is generally titled References. • This list contains bibliographic details of every work cited in your assignment. • The list must be arranged alphabetically by authors’ surnames. If there is more than one work by the same author, then arrange chronologically i.e. earlier publication dates before later dates. • All reference sources (e.g. books, journal articles, websites etc.) are listed together in one continuous reference list. • Correct punctuation is important. • Note minimal capitalisation of book titles and maximal capitalisation of journal titles.

...Thank you for allowing me to read your essay. I feel that I know you after reading it, in fact I felt that we had sat down over a coffee and had a chat. I felt throughout reading it that you were exploring your personal experiences and what you had learnt about yourself through the years. I enjoyed your anecdotes that give strength to your reasons on why you feel this area of your work is a strength. I enjoyed how you discussed your previous work career and all its perks and how this all lead from personal experience into a new career path for you. This showed how much passion really is important to you and something that should be valued in the care community. I would like to note that I did not feel that I knew your personal strength until half way through the essay. I felt that you needed to identify this in your introduction . Maybe add it to your first statement: Making my career switch recently…that I possess strengths such as my passion for my work. Not sure how you would like to word it, just that it is needed in the introduction. I feel you may also benefit from splitting your introduction around the area that you state : However, I never truly felt I had strength or ability in any of it. I feel that this could be your first paragraph, see how you feel I just think it will make it a stronger essay. It would need to be slightly re worded such as : Working in corporate management I never felt like I had any strengths (i would leave out abilities). I found...

...This article was first published on Salon, a website that has an audience favoring liberals more than conservatives. This article also has an audience of a younger generation that follows hit movies. Garett Reppenhagen served as a Cavalry Scout Sniper with the 1st Infantry Division in the US Army, and is also a veteran advocate and social justice organizer. Garett’s background has a lot of relevance to this topic. I would say he is credible towards this whole subject. He is qualified to make judgment and criticize the way this movie is trying to depict Iraq. Garett’s extrinsic ethos is that he has served in the military. He has made a profession of being a real life sniper so he knows most of the scenarios that go on in the movie. He could also describe what goes on as you enter a war zone and how each and every person reacts. Garett states, "But viewing the war only through his eyes gives us too narrow frame." I believe this quote shows he cares about the audience because he wants to share that the frame of Iraq is not narrow, in fact it is on the contrary. Iraq is full of hospitality, proud history, and old-soul wisdom. This quote also shows virtue and goodness because he does not make the mistake of thinking the Iraqi’s are savages, like the movie may portray. Practical wisdom is also shown in this quote because without it Garett would not know that Chris Kyle’s views are narrow, but instead they should be broad and more flexible. The tone of this particular article is straightforward...

...After reading the article, I remember the Carr's essay on Google. Both of essays are talking about the disadvantage of the technology. This article is totally talk about the disadvantages of having a conversation through technology instead of a face to face conservation. It is the same idea with the Carr's essay which talk about when people are reading more than they used to and they aren't reading to retain the information. Also when they read online, they tend to become 'mere decoders of information." For me,I am agree with the Marche's findings. In the article Marche says people who spend their time on devices and social network sights are finding themselves lacking in the ability to communicate in person. That's is right because although we might have has many friends on Facebook we might not really know them and just have them there for show. And when we talk about each other are you good or bad is just from the social media. This is a totally different feeling with face to face. Also the examples the Marche take in the essay is very correct and have a strong persuasion. So I say Facebook have a huge impact on people which is negative. Someone say if the social media made us so lonely, why it is still so popular among the people. As I say it's just because it is easy to use and it is easy for us to see the people far away. Whatever you are, we can connect with each other fast and...

All rights reserved. This system requires an in-text number, rather than the year, and a list of "Cited References" that are numbered to correspond to the in-text citations.

Writing In-Text Citations with Numbers. Follow these guidelines for using numbers within the text: 3 1. Place the number within parentheses (1) or brackets [2] or as a raised index numeral.
