...today decisions that we take in the company. Profit sharing: The employees determine the profit share that they should get and also decide how to split it. It creates the feeling of ownership, says semler. Employees enjoy 25 % of company’s total profit. It directly affects their efficiency. The way of working is different by the employees when they have a sense of ownership. Profit sharing give them a reason to do things better. They work more sincerely and with more effort. In this way employees themselves can decide that what they will get at the end of the year. Free flow of information: Each piece of information is available to everybody. Nothing is kept as secret. Every employee is trained how to read a balance sheet, how different units in the organization works. Information tells people what’s working in the organization and what’s not. Everybody in company have access to the company’s books. Only one set of books wa there which was open for inspection and audit.

...New Health Medical Systems Shari Gifford HRM/548 Jennifer Familant March 10, 2014 New Health Medical Systems TO: New Health Medical Systems, Board of Directors FROM: Shari Gifford, HR Consultant CC: Jennifer Familant DATE: March 10, 2014 SUBJECT: Staffing Strategy It is my understanding that you, the Board of Directors of New Health Medical Systems, recently announced a new strategic direction to become a regional center for critically ill patients. As a part of that strategy, New Health Medical Systems (NHMS) has opened a new cardiovascular unit where patients can receive care for heart attacks, strokes, and other types of cardiovascular diseases. NHMS was quickly able to recruit a quality physician to head the unit as well as additional professional staff, however finding qualified technicians have become much more difficult than originally anticipated. The problem does not seem to be so much in terms of the position being attractive to candidates, but rather a lack of skilled technicians in the immediate region. Most of the skilled technicians are already employed, and are not actively seeking jobs with other organizations. In order to fill the 35 technician positions, the director of staffing has created a new staffing strategy that includes the following: 1. Place advertisement in the local newspapers 2. Contact staffing agencies that specializes in placing technicians into health care facilities 3. Organize a job fair and invite local...

...What is effective management? This will be one dimension that you will have to reflect on throughout the unit – some questions that might arise is there such a thing as ‘one best way’ of being effective? Does being effective require a set of skills, or is it more about being adaptable and flexible? Is it more effective to think of management as the sole locus of the manager, or as a group or ever organizational dynamic? Gender Equality/Balance – were more women just not choosing promotions? More complex than that – See Acker article on Moodle to help start thinking through these ideas! Administrative Management The influence on the workplace of the KIPPER phenomenon The KIPPER phenomenon is just one example of a social dynamic that can have an influence on the workplace (e.g. people having to stay in work longer and retire later in order to financial support adult children). At a more general level it highlights how different social or cultural trends always have an influence or organizational life. Definitions are always difficult I agree – and there are lots of definitions! A good place to start is think about the academic definition given to a term in a text book or, better still, an academic paper, and then think how this might translate into an organizational setting. The framework for the unit Broadly speaking, the unit starts off at an individual level and them moves towards ideas which are more group-based, then more organizational based. However, this...

...Understanding Self-Knowledge and Evaluating Understanding xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Grand Canyon University July 14, 2007 Understanding Self-Knowledge and Evaluating Understanding The purpose of this paper is to identify, describe, and critique personal views on the place of understanding self-knowledge from the point of view of both the teacher and the student. The paper will also provide an evaluation of the sequence and organization of instruction that was used during at least two teaching assignments (units). The focus of this evaluation will be toward the effectiveness of the sequence and organization in accomplishing the desired understanding expected from students. To allay the purpose of the paper, criteria from Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe’s (2005) “backward design” will serve as a background for much of the information included in the paper. According to Wiggins and McTighe (2005), self-knowledge is “the wisdom to know one’s ignorance and how one’s patterns of thought and action inform as well as prejudice understanding” (p. 100). In consideration of today’s teaching milieu, it is possible that there are far too many instructors who are not familiar with the positive academic gains that they could bestow upon their students by paying attention to criteria that warns against instruction is devoid of any understanding, appreciation or acknowledgement of students’ self-knowledge. One of the greatest teachers and philosophers of Western thought, Socrates (Wiggins...

...REFLECTIVE ESSAY ONE ON LEADERSHIP MANIFESTO 1. My perspective of being a leader is to “Lead from the front”. Leading from the front means to get out of my office and troubleshoot computer related issues with my Airmen. My Airmen know that I am a patient type, a by the book NCO who is governed by Air Force Instructions. I treat Airmen with fairness and give them the opportunity to take responsibility for their actions, and to complete their assigned tasks. When necessary, I assist my Airmen, so tasks are effectively & efficiently being accomplished. 2. To be a leader, first you must be a good follower. Being a good follower means to have the willingness and commitment to perform a task; with proper instructions in any given situations. My supervisor describes me as being effective, efficient and trustworthy. She believes in my capabilities and technical knowledge even when a short notice task has been initiated. Within Quality Assurance, I evaluate, inspect and prepare my unit’s effectiveness for future inspections; I ensure technicians are following and using accurate technical data which contributes to the unit’s mission success. 3. The leadership style I use is the Leadership-Member Exchange style. I consider it to be effective. Fostering a good relationship and getting to know Airmen is the best way to acquire their loyalty and trust by showing the sincerity of my actions and willingness to assist on and off duty. However, if Airmen are complacent;...
