...Training and Development Karen Curbey HCS/341 June 30, 2014 Heather Staples Training and Development Employee orientation is the process of introducing employees to their new jobs and work environments. Orientation provides an opportunity for new employees to become acclimated to their new company, department, colleagues and work expectations. (Richards, 2014). The process of new employee orientation is what sets the new employee's relationship with the organization. When new employee orientation is not done correctly, it makes the new employee wonder if they have made the right choice in joining the company. The employee orientation should keep the new employee engaged and interested in the company. The first day of orientation makes them wonder why they chose this company, because many companies make mistakes such as overwhelming the new hire with facts, figures, names and faces packed into one eight hour day; showing boring orientation videos; providing lengthy front-of-the-room lectures; and failing to prepare for the new hire; providing no phone, no e-mail, no computer, and no work. (O'Toole, 2014). Education of a new employee is vital to healthcare, because if the new employee is not informed of the training and requirements of their job, they will not be effective employees. New employee orientation must show an overview of each department’s function, including information about the specific duties of each department of the Health Care facility, spending...

Also see the section “Recent Blog Posts” in the sidebar of the blog or click on “next” near the bottom of a post in the blog. Library's Human Resources Blog About Personnel Policies Role of Personnel Policies There are numerous laws and regulations which regulate the nature of the relationship between an employee (and volunteer, in the case of nonprofits) and his or her organization. They are intended primarily to ensure that everyone is treated fairly and equitably regardless of their race, creed, color or sexual orientation. They are intended to ensure that the treatment of employees and volunteers is based primarily on their job performance. Common types of activities guided by the laws and regulations are, for example, hiring and firing, benefits and compensation, affirmative action, rights of privacy, discrimination and harassment, and wrongful termination. One of the fastest growing types of lawsuits brought by employees against their organizations is wrongful termination of employment. Other common types of lawsuits are in regard to allegations of discrimination and harassment. It is far better for organizations first to ensure that these types of improper types of behaviors do not occur, than to have to defend themselves in courts of law....

...Human resource management (HRM) is the effective management of people at work. HRM examines what can or should be done to make working people more productive and satisfied (p.1). HRM also works with recruiting, management, and providing for the direction of the employees of an organization. HRM deals with issues such as compensation, hiring, safety, benefits, communication, orientation, and training. One of the concepts that I learned from this class is that of the importance of HRM in the planning process of an organization. Planning is the logical setting of a series of goals. These goals focus on differing aspects of an organization. Planning is important at all levels of management. Characteristics of planning vary from company to company and from different levels of management within a company. In light of the four functions of management, planning, organizing, leading and controlling, planning is the fundamental function of management from which the other four stem. Prior to developmental planning, many companies contemplate internal and external factors that significantly impact the planning phase of the four functions of management. These factors set the course for everything the company considers throughout the planning phase. The internal factors include organizational direction, human and asset management. The external factors include collaboration, political issues, technological advances, legislative issues, environmental issues and globalization...

...Chapter 1 Overview Marketing- is the activity, set of instructions, and process for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large. Exchange- people giving up something in order to receive something else they would rather have. Production Orientation- a product orientation means that management assesses its resources and asks these questions: “What can we do best?” What can our engineers design?” What is easy to produce, given our equipment?” A production orientation falls short because it does not consider whether the goods and services that the firms produces most efficiently also meet the needs of the marketplace. Sales Orientation- is based on the belief that people will buy more goods and services if aggressive sales techniques are used and that high sales result in high profits. Market Orientation- meaning they assume that a sale does not depend on an aggressive sales force but rather on a customer’s decision to purchase a product. Marketing concept- is simple and intuitively appealing philosophy that articulates a market orientation. It states that the social economic justification for an organization’s existence is the satisfaction of customer wants and needs while meeting organizational objectives. Market oriented- assume that a sale does not depend on an aggressive sales force but rather on a customer’s decision to purchase a product. Societal Marketing Orientation- extends...

Urban Studies, 41(9), 1719-1737. Aldrich gives a historical overview of the history of homosexuality. He goes back to the Roman times and discusses Sodom and Gomorrah and continues to the present day. He makes mention of how homosexuals left various cities to escape the traditional life constraints and went to other cities to begin transforming the city into much construction of the gay and lesbian culture. Bonilla, L & Porter, J (1990). A comparison of latino, black, and non-hispanic white attitudes toward homosexuality. Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, 12(4), 437-452. This article discusses Latinos, Blacks, and non Hispanic whites attitudes towards homosexuality. It has been researched that the Latino culture is more inclined than blacks and non whites to believe that homosexuality and the spread of AIDS are invariably related. This one assumption has the capacity to cause the rights of homosexuals to be restricted. Goldsmith, S. J. (2001). Oepipus or orestes? Homosexual men, their mothers, and other women revisited. Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association, 49 (4), 1269-1287. The author of this article discusses gender roles and how they have an effect on the sexuality of men and women.
