...data. 1.1 Explain why an organisation needs to collect and record HR data Organisations need data as a point of reference or to be able to retrieve information whenever it is needed. Every organisation should keep accurate records and information on their employees in order to be able to use this information for planning ahead for the business. Organisations also need data as a legal requirement. HR data collection enables an organisation to measure against it supporting workforce planning, monitoring progress and development, developing initiatives for generic cases. It identifies and analyses information to aid the organisation in making ultimate decisions both beneficial to the organisation and its employees. 1) Comply with legislative and regulatory requirements regarding equal opportunities, equal pay audits, recruitment, assessing skills balance, absence recording. 2) Monitor training and performance for employees, assessing each individual employee for productivity and identifying training needs. That means assessing the productivity within the business. Being well informed about the workforce is the key to aim the ultimate goal of the organisation.

...financial shift have caused human service agencies to lose funding or cause the agencies to operate waiting on late payment schedules from the government that result in many organizations having to close their doors to needy people. Well known human service agencies such as Chicago’s Jane Adams Hull House, YMCA, domestic violence shelters, childcare facilities, soup kitchens and organizations serving the youth population have stopped providing programs and services because they do not have the budget to pay for the programs. Although many nonprofit human service agencies are funded by the government, a human service organization must compete to get a piece of the dwindling funding pie for its human service programs. The key assumption of this paper is because of the unreliability of government funding, human service organizations must become more effective with their program delivery, contingency revenue generation, and sustainability. In comparison, nonprofit organizations that provide services to the poor must compete for funding dollars like for-profit organizations compete for investment dollars. In order to be competitive, an organization must demonstrate that its program can...

...Legal and Safety Requirements in Human Resources Rebecca Branham HCS/341 July 11, 2011 Mike Sawyer Legal and Safety Requirements in Human Resources Today it is required that all employers have certain laws that they must follow when pertaining to Human resources. This is where it all begins to make a business successful. There are many different rules that must be followed. In this paper I will go over some of the more important laws and why they are so important. When you hire an employee you need to know what the job descriptions are and what exactly you need to look for within their backgrounds, and gather important information that helps you decide on the best candidate for the job. When everyone fills out the proper application or submits a resume, you must also let the person that is applying their privacy rights and what the background consists of so that you can get the proper amount of information that you need for your applicants application to be complete. You must get their consent in writing that it is ok to perform a background check, which usually consists of a criminal check, and some even look for their driving record. There are some other things that you can do to help you get this process moving right along. For instance you want to see that your job fits the, inquires that you are looking for from the applicant. Do not forget to ask for their consent this is very important, and last but not least just be reasonable. Also, within these general considerations...

...Cynthia Smith Professor Yaron M. David Principles of Management and Leadership September 7, 2004 Michael Bregman Case Questions 1. The major strategic issues Michael Bregman must address are (1) deciding on whether or not to focus on specialty-type restaurants or (2) deciding on franchising one or both of his companies. There are risks involved in deciding on which business strategy to pursue. For the focused business strategy, Bregman must decide on the type of specialty restaurant to pursue by marketing; he must also take into account location and demographics. For the franchising business strategy, not only must Bregman take into account location and demographics, but he must also consider the ramifications associated with franchising such as disclosure issues, liability and capital requirements. 2. The design layout and space makes it efficient for the employees at the Mmmuffins Shop to function well. Because Mmmuffins’ menu consists of only a few basic items, the employees do not have to be highly qualified. Management only has to supervise a small staff and be concerned with routine day-to-day activities. Management has established policies and procedures in place, which makes it easier for all involved. On the other hand, Baguettes is more complex in that the company is both a restaurant and bakery. Baguettes is larger than Mmmuffins and requires specialty staff for specialized tasks. In addition, management has to supervise a larger staff and without...

...Schneider National Inc. Al Schneider was raised on a farm in eastern Wisconsin. He was only educated through the eighth grade. In 1935, he sold his family car and purchased his first truck. He started taking shipments around the local area and through Green Bay, Wisconsin. One of Al Schneider’s five sons, Don, received a very good education graduating from a parochial high school as well as a degree from St. Norbert’s College. Don Schneider continued his education at the University of Pennsylvania and received a business degree from Wharton School of Finance and Commerce. With this excellent education, Don worked his way up in the family business and eventually in 1971 became president. Schneider National Incorporated was a fairly small sized company until the 1980s. After Don Schneider came into power, he quickly realized that his company needed to undergo large changes to keep up with the changing business culture. The two changes that Schneider needed the most were in employee relations and investing in the use of new technology. In the early 1980s Schneider began giving its drivers bonuses based on performance and eliminated reserved parking spaces for higher ranking employees. Typically, if a driver was out on the road, they would have to find a phone at a truck stop and call the company to check in and update the dispatcher on their location. This was very slow process at times because many times the pay phones would be in use, or the company dispatcher...

...Running head: Image Image In this paper I will be focusing on one of the six images that I think I had some experience in the past with my previous job. I will address and explain the situation under image 4 and analyze the outcome of this step. This image shows and explains how a manager could be a coach and direct to support team. In my previous job, I had a role of store director with total of 55 employees, 4 supervisors, 2 area supervisors, and 1 assistant manager. A challenge that I was facing on daily basis had to do with the style of one of my supervisor who was coaching, supervising, and training her team as a stockroom team lead. She, with many years’ experience in that role was not able to work with team and coach the team as a leader. She had opportunities such as her behavior, attitude, performance, and respect others in a workplace. I as a store manger who had so much responsibilities could not let her continue with this type of performance to bring the team down. My first step was to Looking at the situation there is bad management and no type of communication within her team. Change needs to start with her. She wanted to bring success to her team, but it never worked out. As part of my research on this subject, I noticed that one of the most important elements, which prevents us to have a strong team, was the way she was managing, and the...

...Health Records As patrons we understand how the expenses of shipping and petroleum can influence the price of goods we buy. How many of us reflect on the blow of managerial expenditure on medical care? By transforming our useless paper systems to state-of-the-art practice “management systems and our multicolored file into an electronic health record, or EMR, we can picture the force a few billion dollars might have on the cost of healthcare” (Hubpages, n.d.). The EMR provides the prospect for healthcare organizations to develop quality of care and patient safety. “The greatest challenge in the new world of integrated healthcare delivery is to provide comprehensive, reliable, relevant, accessible, and timely patient information to each member of the healthcare team, whether in primary or secondary care and whether a doctor, nurse, allied health professional, or patient/consumer”(Schloeffel, et al., 2010). Visualize that in a health catastrophe, crisis physicians would have an easier time accessing a patient’s bank account via his or her ATM card than discovering vital medical records using his or her medical insurance card. Medical records, including electrocardiograms, drug allergies, or medical circumstances, are normally stored on paper and seldom accessible in emergencies. Electronic health records “allow for a variety of functions, ranging from visit documentation to laboratory test ordering, to paying for hospital related bills online” (Hubpages, n.d.). In the...

Latimore tells us all the details of her job's chief objective, tasks and duties, and how much time is put in for each task. She also describes how management runs, along with the contacts, customers and services she most importantly interacts and deals with. Danielle states that the chief objective of being a teller is "to provide excellent customer service by following policies and procedures to complete transactions".

Other tasks take up the least of the work time, such as recommending additional products and services to meet the customers' needs (15%) and referring customers to Wells Fargo partners (10%). As a Wells Fargo teller, one must work their way up through the authorization check/cash handling process. For Danielle, $1000 is her current limit where she does not need to seek a supervisor's approval to complete the deposit. By December of 2015, she will be approved by her supervisor to increase the dollar amount due...

...HR Roles and Responsibilities Human resources (HR) are one of the most important departments of an organization. The human resources department usually deals with hiring, terminations, training, federal regulations, employee benefits, and anything employee related. The main part f their job is focused on the employees. The functions of an HR Professional are to make sure that all employees are treated fairly and equitably and that the needs of the business are balanced against the needs of the employees (Adamson, 2009). The roles and responsibilities of the HR department are crucial to the company’s success. This department must be resilient and adaptable because the business world is constantly changing in regard to globalization, technology, diversity, e-business, and ethics. Globalization Globalization is occurring more frequently these days than in the past and has a major impact on human resources management (HRM). When a business goes global, they need to consider these important factors: employment laws, culture, terminology, and corporate social responsibility ("How globalization effects," 2011). The HR managers are recruiting and selecting from around the world, not just nationally. Other challenges that HR managers must face are managing a diverse workforce, managing pressures for more labor rights in third world countries, managing outsourcing of employees, more part-time temporary work, managing productivity and quality, downsizing the workforce, and coping...

Traditional Position Companies have the right to tell employees what to do on company’s time and property, but at home employees can do what they want. As Jim Lowe “started each day with two doughnuts. Lunch was pair of Whoppers and fries. Nighttime involved a bag of chips, a couch, and a clicker”(Conlin, 2007). My Position My overview position is traditional position I believe that Organizational or Companies have the right tell employees what do on company’s time but at employees can do what they wish at the privacy of their own home.

...3: Recording, analysing and using HR information 3RAI Kathrina Yarwood Activity 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2 The storing of data also known as data management is important for any business or organisation. There are several reasons why an organisation would need to store HR data. Any data collected would be invaluable for various reasons including but not limited to compliance, reporting, business planning and budget setting. An organisation or business can collect any number of different types of data including absenteeism information, equality and diversity questionnaires, in respect to compliance and reporting data collected would include absences, retention information and skill set information. Budget setting information would include workforce numbers, revenues and potential business opportunities. One main HR priority is to track and store existing employee data. For an organisation to move forward, to be able to report on staff accurately and if needed to validate the value of teams or certain job roles, Human resources must have a good understanding of the data and also have a suitable system to secure the data. Management at the highest level require data collected by HR departments as the data would be essential to their planning the future direction of the organisation and make them aware of any number of significant issues such as employee retention and enable them to pursue a solution. HMRC can request copies of records collected by HR to ensure that employees are being...

...Problem: Crayon “graffiti” on 20th century Japanese prints by Munakata Shiko. The prints were mounted to screens, and the graffiti appeared at about 4 ft. from the ground—around the same height as a child. Unlike graffiti on a painted wall, however, crayon does not come off of printed paper quite as easily. Experiment: Mock-ups were created with Japanese paper, printed with black sumi ink, then colored over with both waxed-based and water soluble crayons. Possible solvents were chosen from the wax section on the Teas diagram and included petroleum ether, mineral spirits, toluene and xylene. These solvents were tested in three situations: Solvent on a swab A bath of water and solvent, followed by blotting of the stain Damp blotter surface with local application of moisture and solvent, followed by blotting of the stain Results: Solvents alone did not reduce crayon to a satisfactory level; mineral spirits created a transparent stain visible through the paper With the bath, it was impossible to control the amount of solvent used, but the overall result was positive Crayon was lifted locally, but also migrated along with solvents to form tidelines The ultimate solution was the use of a water-based treatment with toluene and xylene, such as that used in Experiment 2. For best results, Hsin-Chen suggested first manually reducing the graffiti with a kneaded eraser and scalpel. Lynn Brostoff, Library of Congress The Relationship Between Inherent Material Evidence...

Purpose: The purpose of this briefing note is to review options to the business regarding the collection, storage and use of collected H.R data. Background: It has been requested that the organisations current policy regarding the above should be reviewed and where necessary, improved/amended based on the findings. Current situation: At present the following data is collected by the Human Resources department; * Personal Data. * Staff Turnover. * Absence Data. * Learning and Development Data. * Cost information. * Survey Data. * Performance of Employees. * Health and Safety.

This information may be used by the health and safety officer to reduce the number of accidents. If a number of incidents were reported involving staff using ladders, then a trend may be spotted from the stored accident data. This could then be used and less hazardous equipment utilised. An example of data which is not legally required to be kept, but may be useful...
