It includes an induction checklist, information to include in the induction pack, how the programme will be carried out and the steps that should be taken after the programme, as well as showing how the activities help StarLine to comply with the law. As argued by El-Shamy (2012) induction can refer to anything from a welcome speech of a few minutes, to a several day training programme of activities. In fact, this report takes the perspective that induction continues for at least the probationary period of three months, and beyond, to make sure that the employee is on board. As Rankin (2009) points out, induction is not a one off activity but an ongoing sequence of activities for retention success. Induction Checklist An employee induction needs to make sure that the employee is well oriented to carry out the job, and that they understand what is required of them (Bryson, 2011). The induction checklist should correspondingly include the following, to make sure that all of these are covered, according...

...politics and economics situations. The branch of philosophy that is concerned with the nature of reality and existence is known as metaphysics. Metaphysics is concerned with the question of nature of the person or the self. It addresses such questions as whether human nature is basically good, evil, spiritual, mental, or physical. (Webb, Metha, Jordan. Pg. 50) Metaphysics is an essential component element of teaching. Children are taught by their parents the ethics of what is acceptable in society. This encourages the child to determine how to function in the social structure. The classroom instructor also enforces this type of teaching. Without this nature of teaching, that person is not able to properly function in a social setting. An example of is a young child has been locked up in an isolated room for most of its childhood. This child would fail in a school setting, or in any public place. Humans,...

...Unique characteristics include dual, independently controlled A/C drive motors, elimination of traditional mechanical power transmission devices, and traction control software with the ability to make changes several thousand times per second. These original ideas make for an environmentally responsible vehicle with few moving parts. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Brocton Barras – Wrote a brief recap of the history of electric vehicles. Joshua Day – Responsible for originality/acknowledgments page, as well as abstract and conclusions. Matthew Griffin – Provided research for innovative control methods section of paper. Andrew Phegley – Wrote a brief description of A/C vs. D/C motors. Nathan Smith – Provided research for the construction of battery packs. Alex Turek – Responsible for introduction, section on the CAN bus, and editorial duties. ABSTRACT The objective of this project is to design and build an electric vehicle that exhibits unique qualities not found in any production vehicle in its class. The vehicle will operate in a similar capacity to the average automobile so as to maintain familiarity to consumers. The vehicle will be powered by independently controlled A/C motors that forgo typical mechanical power transmission devices. Highly intelligent programming techniques will be employed to vary the torque and speed several thousand times per second. Through the research conducted, our team has asserted the possibility of building the vehicle described in this text. 2...

In a business environment we use operational plans to ensure that targets are met within given timeframes and to satisfactory quality standard. There are three types of plan used at different levels within an organisation: * Strategic plan * Business plan * Operational plan The strategic plan is developed for long-term planning and covers a period of about five years. The strategic plan specifies the missions and goals of the organisation including decisions on how resources, both capital and human, will be allocated to meet organisational goals. A business plan sits between the highest-level plan (the strategic plan) and the operational plan. A business plan is a formal statement of a set of business goals and objectives that are to be achieved to meet the strategic objectives of the organisation. The...

...CIPD Level 3 Certificate in Human Resource Practice Module: 3CJA Contributing to the Process of Job Analysis By: Emma Matthews Contributing to the Process of Job Analysis (3CJA) Activity One The purpose of a job analysis should be to determine what the ‘job holder’ is expected to do and how the job should best be performed. It will also help decide what skills and qualities are required of the person who is to perform the job. By undertaking this process, the analysis will have a better understanding of things such as staffing levels, productivity, any adjustments that need to be made, and performance appraisals. Job analysis plays a major role in organisations and it is important to remember that it is an analysis of the job and not the person. Job analysis is also important when it comes to the selection process as this will be based on the job description which should be written from the job analysis provided. There are several methods in which a job analysis can be carried out. These could be; interviews, questionnaires and observation and all methods have their advantages and disadvantages. Interviewing the incumbent(s) The interview method of gathering information needs to be carefully structured and conducted in an open and transparent manner.

In order to create an environment conducive to learning, the learner must be assisted by the mentor to identify their learning needs (NMC 2006). On the ‘A’ ’s first day, after his orientation, we were able to draw up learning opportunities so that there was an awareness of what ‘A’ hoped to gain from the community experience. The qualities of the mentor are an important element of the learning environment. This includes professional and personal qualities such as professionalism, a friendly nature, understanding and patience (Beskine 2009).

...criteria. This selection criteria consists of a list of abilities and skills, in addition to certain education standard an individual must possess if he has to qualify for that position. An individual who has acquired certain skills like computer knowledge (hardware / software) will be more valuable for an organisation than the one who does not have this skill. The organisation will not have to train the individual who already has this capability. The organisation will get a “Ready Made” asset which can be utilized straight away on a project. The Alcatel can also short list those individuals with certain basic knowledge or skills in a specified field. The individuals can be trained on special task or assignment with minimum effort. For example if an individual has basic skills and knowledge of operations and maintenance of Computers then he can be trained quickly to operate and maintain small computer and telecom networks. That individual will have more value than an individual who does not possess such skills. The individual who is hired and has good background knowledge...
