...Developing Yourself as an Effective Human Resources Practitioner. DEP (HR) I am taking this course Within the HR Profession Map there are 2 core areas, 8 professional areas, 10 behaviours and 4 bands which are required to be an effective HR practitioner. This tool has been developed to be applicable to HR professionals around the world. There are 2 core professional areas for all HR professionals no matter where you are in your HR career. The 2 core areas are: • Insights, Strategy and Solutions - This professional area underpins the direction of the profession as an applied business discipline. This area also allows HR Profession, to develop actionable insights and deliver situational HR solutions that stick. • Leading HR – This professional area focuses on HR Professionals that are active and insight-led and are actively leading others who own, shape and driving the organization. They develop the organization across 3 main areas of leadership: Personal leadership, leading others and leading issues. The other 8 professional areas advise HR what we need to do and what they need to know. The 10 behaviours describe how an HR professional should carry out their actives whilst the 4 bands show the contributions a practitioner should be making at every stage of their career. Out of the 8 professional areas I consider Learning and Development to be the most essential to my role within HR. We need Learning and development to move forward as a company and as an HR Professional...

I have focused on the professional area “Employee Relations” and looked at the activities and knowledge that I feel are most essential to my role. * It is important when dealing with ER that policies and procedures are accurately kept up to date, this includes ensuring that all contractual documents, staff handbook and policies are in line with current legislation. If the information is not in line with legislation this places the organisation at great risk and therefore accurate knowledge and information is very important.

...was supposed to bring rigor and relevance into such a slippery domain as database design is. Almost every database textbook treats normalization in a certain extent, usually suggesting that the topic is so clear and consolidated that it does not deserve deeper discussions. But the reality is completely different. After more than three decades, normalization not only has lost much of its interest in the research papers, but also is still looking for practitioners to apply it effectively. Despite the vast amount of database literature, comprehensive books illustrating the application of normalization to effective real-world applications are still waited. This paper reflects the point of 1 view of an Information Systems academic who incidentally has been for almost twenty years a practitioner in developing database applications. It outlines the main weaknesses of normalization and offers some explanations about the failure of a generous framework in becoming the so much needed universal guide for database designers. Practitioners might be interested in finding out (or confirming) some of the normalization misformulations, misinterpretations, inconsistencies and fallacies. Theorists could find useful the presentation of some issues where the normalization theory was proved to be inadequate, not relevant, or source of confusion. Keywords: database design, normalization, functional dependencies, multi-valued dependencies, normal forms INTRODUCTION Something is...

...Seminar – 7 Chapter 7 Financial Responsibility Centers Financial Result Control System Financial Result Control System results are defined in monetary terms, most commonly in terms of accounting measures such as revenues, costs, profits, and returns. Advantages of Financial Result Control System Financial objectives are paramount in for-profit firms. Financial measures provide a “summary” measure of performance by aggregating the effects of a broad range of operating initiatives across a possibly broad range of markets, products, or activities into a single or a few measures. Most financial measures are relatively precise and objective. The cost of implementing financial result controls is often small relative to that of other forms of management control. Types of financial responsibility centers Investment centers Investment centers are responsibility centers whose managers are held accountable for the accounting returns on the investment made to generate those returns. Profit centers Profit centers are responsibility centers whose managers are held accountable for profit which is a measure of the difference between the revenues generated and the costs of generating those revenues. The goal for not-for-profit organization is to break even, or perhaps even incur limited losses. However, for-profit entities is normally not considered desirable to generate higher profits than those budgeted. Two limited forms: When sales-focused entities are made into...

...Corporate Bonds: Background Bonds may be registered (bondholder’s name is kept in a file) or held as bearer bonds (anyone possessing the bond may sell it or collect interest payments and face value). Each bond round of sales is called a “series.” So the company’s Series M bond issue might have occurred in 2003; and its Series N issue might have taken place in 2005. It might be that the total amount the company raised in its Series M equaled $600 million; and the amount raised (borrowed) in its Series N was $900 million. Each bond series has its own indenture (legal document stating the requirements, definitions and consequences of default). Moreover, all of the bonds issued from a series, say Series P, have bond certificates (like a stock certificate) which specifies the company (bond issuer) name, the bond face value (par value), the coupon rate (interest rate), the dates that interest will be paid, and the maturity date (when $1,000 is paid). Corporate Bonds: Interest Payments Corporate bonds might have a) fixed interest rate payments (“CoCo”, b) no interest rate payments (“NoNo”), or 3) floating-rate payments (“floaters”). The interest rate on a bond is stated as its “coupon rate.” If the company is issuing bonds that have a coupon rate of 6%; that means that the company is promising to make semiannual interest payments to the bondholder of $30 (every 6 months) until maturity—and they will pay the bondholder the face amount of $1,000 upon maturity. Most corporate...

...More Praise for the Second Edition of Beyond Change Management “Once again, Dean and Linda have nailed it! Beyond Change Management is an extraordinary book examining the shifts in change management that have occurred over the years. This book offers real, practical solutions for change practitioners to become extraordinary conscious change leaders.” —Darlene Meister, director, Unified Change Management, United States House of Representatives “Entering the offices recently of a highly respected Fortune 500 company, I was stunned by the enormity of change they were facing and at the same time how ill-equipped they were to deal with the challenges that lay ahead of them. They had little capacity to lead and manage the change required. And, of course, consulting firms were swarming all over them. Th ey needed this book by the Andersons to help them. In fact, Chapter Five alone on building organizational capability is worth the price of the book.” —W. Warner Burke, Ph.D., Edward Lee Thorndike Professor of Psychology and Education; chair, Department of Organization and Leadership; program coordinator, Graduate Programs in Social-Organizational Psychology, Teachers College, Columbia University “Beyond Change Management is a must-read for today’s C-Suite executives and those who lead organizational change. Change is a fact of life in all successful businesses. Based on this breakthrough construct, we now view our approach to transformational change as a strategic advantage. It is a way...
