...several levels. Specifically, women find themselves the victims of discrimination simply because of their gender. Although there are anti-discrimination laws in place, many employers still find ways around them. Currently, the courts simply award monetary compensation to those women who sue current or former employers. However, businesses found guilty of committing the crime of gender discrimination must endure stricter operating sanctions. The author was witness to the unethical and illegal treatment of a former elderly female employee whose work ethic was exemplary. The former employee (Shelly) received constant positive feedback from clients, students, and peers. She was employee of the year for three consecutive years because of her innate ability to settle disputes amicably. Shortly after her promotion to Assistant Director, the department hired a new instructor who was also an alumnus. He made it very clear that he disagreed with Shelly’s methods and relationship with the students and clinical coordinators. Overtime he demonstrated his ability to build a rapport with the coordinators and other program official; he was very ambitious. His relationship with Shelly bordered aggression and antagonism, but she remained professional and focused. However, when the coordinators began complaining about her performance to the Director her once exemplary record changed. The write-ups were disciplinary and in her permanent record, but were nothing in comparison to the verbal abuse...

I, of course, plan to reach to my highest peak of success by opening a software company that uses the functional corporate strategy. Becoming an entrepreneur apparently is starting a new career; therefore, I think it is correct to define an entrepreneur. An entrepreneur is somebody who starts or finances new companies. The entrepreneur spirit can begin at a young age but cannot start legally very young. I am naming the business Success because it is my goal in life; failure is not an option.

...Compensation Benchmarking & Wage Differentials Benchmarking Benchmarking is a skill that every human resource practitioner involved in the compensation process should perform efficiently and correctly. Accurate benchmarking is the foundation of appropriate salary assessments and market comparisons. If one benches internal positions incorrectly it may result in selecting the wrong market salary data and setting an inappropriate salary which in turn creates employee dissatisfaction and a higher turn over rate. Clearly, this is a skill that impacts the organization. * The definition of benchmarking for salary survey purposes is “matching an internal job to an external job of similar content”. The goal is to match each job being performed in your company to the survey benchmark job that most closely resembles the essential functions of that job. Once this is accomplished one can then review the market salary data to determine market rates. Steps in Compensation Benchmarking * Identify compensation goals and objectives Specify what is to be accomplished through the company’s compensation system (e.g., retain high-performing employees, reward individuals who add significant value, support and encourage flight crew team performance), and then set objectives accordingly. * Assess desired compensation mix Determine the proportional relationship between base salary, short-term incentives and long-term incentives. The mix reflects how much “risk” the company is willing...

Over the course of her career the HR professional examined in this case has performed many responsibilities in this growing field including, training and development, employees relations, personnel policies, and recruitment and selection. She has demonstrated the initiative necessary to be successful in this arena. Training and Development Training and development are crucial components to both on-boarding and retention practices in any company. Training programs exist to educate employees of “job-related knowledge, skills, and behaviors,” from safety to customer service (Noe, Hollenbeck, Gerhart, & Wright, 2014, p. 8). As a Human Resources Assistant at Target, this individual organized and led employee orientations and training. It was her responsibility to effectively execute Target’s training program, thus successfully supplying the store with well-trained, safety conscious, brand knowledgeable team members. As a restaurant manager, she developed a comprehensive training manual for front-of-the-house staff. Development programs center on cultivating management skills in preparation for new responsibilities (Noe et al., 2014).

...that discussed the real impacts of rewarding employees for certain things in the workplace, which I feel is a very important aspect of management in the workplace. In “How to Demotivate Your Best Employees” by Dina Gerdeman, she takes very important pieces from a recent paper called The Dirty Laundry of Employee Award Programs: Evidence from the Field, written by Harvard Business School Assistant Professor Ian Larkin, along with professor Lamar Pierce and doctoral student Timothy Gubler from the Olin School of Business at Washington University in St. Louis where the researchers studied an attendance award program initiated by managers at one of the five commercial-industrial laundries owned by the same mid-western company. Perfect attendance was defined as not having any unexcused absences or tardy shift arrivals during the month (Gubler, 2013). Even though the company had the right intentions in mind the study showed that programs such as this often times result in more negative impacts and positive. To understand how to make a beneficial rewards program is important for all future career choices and to make sure you can maintain a productive working environment in doing so. The article cracked the perceived notion that all rewards programs improve morale around the work place. The study that was done took a laundry plant that had implemented a reward program for punctuality to stop the unwanted absenteeism and tardiness in their company. “Absenteeism and tardiness costs...
