...matter that stays in the home. It follows victims to work, and nearly every organization is likely to be touched by it. Statistically, one in five employed people in the U.S. experience domestic violence sometime in their life and ninety-six percent say that the abuse affects their ability to perform their job. And whether victims experience physical injury at home, psychological intimidation, stalking or threatening phone calls, the result is impaired performance, missed work, tardiness and, often, an inability to hold a job. Co-workers are also affected when they have to “cover” the victim’s work or be concerned about their own safety. 1;2 For businesses, the cost of lost productivity exceeds $727 million annually. As a nation, the cost of domestic violence exceeds $8 billion when adding in the direct medical and mental health services---much of which is paid for by the employer. 1;3 The following strategies can help employers develop policies to help reduce—and prevent--the emotional and economic toll on their workers and their organization. Getting started Secure buy-in from the top down. “It’s key to establish a company culture that ensures abuse victims of their safety and job security,” says Kim Wells, executive director of the Corporate Alliance to End Partner Violence.4.

...my recommendations. Answers will vary. Students should realize that SCR foresees a dynamic future. With this in mind, an ERP strategy would be highly desirable. Students should have a basic understanding of ERP. When they research on the Internet, students should be able to find more material they can use in their recommendations. For reference purposes, the following screens are provided: [pic] [pic] 2. Visit SCR’s data library to review SCR’s network configuration and then send Jesse a recommendation for the TIMS system architecture. She wants me to suggest an overall client/server design, number of tiers, and network topology. She also asked me to comment on these issues: legacy data, Web-centricity, scalability, security, and batch processing that might be needed. Jesse said it was OK to make reasonable assumptions in my proposal to her. Student answers will vary. Students should start by viewing the SCR network shown in the Data Library. Based on information in this chapter and previous SCR assignments, students should be able to form an opinion regarding SCR’s TIMS system. Most students will conclude that a client/server architecture should be used, and that a two-tier design probably would support SCR’s needs. With regard to network topology, not enough information is provided to form a definite conclusion. The main objective is to have students understand topology characteristics generally and accurately describe whatever...

...liability is the principle of law that holds one party liable for the acts or inactions of another (Beyer, 2006). The concept means that a party maybe held responsible for injury or damage even when he or she was not actively involved in the incident. Under the specific type of fault required or complicity rule, vicarious liability will only be found if the employer authorized or ratified the conduct or the manner in which the particular task was performed or empowered the employee for example by making him or her a manager or recklessly hired or retained an employee that was unfit for the particular job. The existence of vicarious liability can be justified on both legal or policy grounds and organizational management grounds. There are reasons for the application of vicarious liability in legal or policy. First reason is the wrongful act of the employee are so closely related to their duties that they can be properly and fairly regarded as being within the course of employment. Second there is the business risk rationale, that it is an inevitable part of commercial life that agents and employees may act beyond their authority and instructions causing damage to a third party. Employers have calculated and accepted this risk thus incurring legal liability. Given that an employer generally benefits from the work undertaken by its employees it is not unreasonable that it also bear any losses that those activities cause (Lockwood,2011). In the common law test for vicarious liability...
