...1. Construct a project charter to revamp the compensation and benefits packages. A project charter or contract is a necessary tool that helps get the ball rolling with any project. A charter should be a short, brief synopsis of the project that gives the project manager permission to start the project, help the sponsor and project team members develop a clear understanding, holds persons involved accountable, and screening project that have potential (Kloppenborg, Nkomo, Fottler, & McAfee, 2012). Title: Operation Fresh Start Scope Overview: Operation Fresh Start project will initiate a companywide change in employee job satisfaction. There will be a restructuring of job task and roles to better fit employee skill level and include their involvement of decision making to improve job satisfaction. Compensation is a huge motivation since a job is the primary source of income and security for most individuals. Employees will now be subjected to annual raises based on performance reviews, the amount of time the individual has been with the company, and job structure. We will also add medical and life insurance to benefits packages. The new design and pay levels will create job satisfaction among employees while also motivating them to have better job performance. Business case: According to Noe, Hollenbeck, Gerhart, & Wright (2011), job dissatisfaction can be caused by the task and roles associated with the job and pay and benefits. The tasks and roles of a job need to have...

...Project Management Anita Blakney HRM 520 Dr. Sue Lowe Construct a Cost-Benefit Analysis matrix for an organization that is considering replacing it’s internal payroll system with a payroll outsourcing service. Include direct and indirect revenue enhancements and direct and indirect cost reductions. Cost savings - Smaller organizations using payroll outsourcing company reduce costs by removing the time consuming HR tasks that slow down production. To determine the cost effectiveness of outsourcing payroll, it is important to calculate the number of hours employees spend on payroll related activities and the exact amount being spent. Then compare it with plans offered by outsourcing companies. Increased productivity - Payroll management is an extremely time consuming activity. By using a payroll outsourcing company, the tedious burden of payroll management is removed and employees are able to concentrate on the things they are good at. Reliability – Outsourcing provides the same output speed and quality that is not dependent on holiday time and sick leave from your staff. Assess the risks associated with integrating a new payroll system and suggest what the project management team can do to minimize those risks. Payroll has been a payment of wages, salaries, advantages, allowances as well as other monies associated with the staff working in the public agency. Few agencies are contracting out payroll function, whereas the rest run its individual payroll. Newer payroll...

...HARBORCO (ENVIRONMENTAL NEGOTIATOR) - PLANNING DOCUMENT Negotiation: __HARBORCO___________ Role: _ENVIRONMENTAL NEGOTIATOR What issues are most important to you? (list in order of importance) 1. Ecological Impact issues due to the construction of this port. This being the most important because the disruption of ecological settings will begin as soon as construction begins, so no room to try anything else to minimize this effect. 2. The industry mix that Harborco will be allowed to introduce. Even though there are legal limitations, “dirty” industries still cause short and long term havoc on the environment. 3. Voting on other issues strategically. While not trying to antagonize potential allies, an effort needs to be made to have a clear “win” on the issues, in hopes that other constituent environmental groups are impressed by the results and potentially boost contributions to the League. What is your BATNA? Reservation Price? Target? In this situation, it is very important for me to realize that I have a very weak BATNA. The BATNA is a government sanctioned degradation of the environment – Harborco is allowed to build a deepwater port including primarily dirty industries and causing serious damage to the ecology. For this reason, it is going to be very important for me to be able to influence the proposal, if at all it goes through. The target will be for me to convince the members to improve the ecological conditions around this site and restrict...

...Part of your job as a staff associate in an auditing firm is to document your findings in working papers (also known as workpapers) and schedules. Workpapers summarize your audit actions, such as planning the audit. Schedules show what steps you take to reach a conclusion. For example, to support your conclusion that cash is correctly stated on the balance sheet, you may prepare a schedule showing all bank reconciliations affirming that they reconcile without discrepancy to the balance sheet. Your CPA firm specifies how you prepare all your audit documents. However, keep in mind that every workpaper stands on its own. This means that its purpose, source of information, and conclusions must be clearly evident. To prepare workpapers, you want to use the following elements: A descriptive heading: It should include the client’s name, the workpaper’s purpose, and the date under examination. Indexing: Like a book, every workpaper has a unique page number showing its place in the audit file. Cross-referencing: To improve your efficiency, you want to cross-reference your workpaper to related and supporting workpapers. Doing so eliminates the duplication of work. For example, if you file the client’s bank reconciliations in Section A and you refer to them in Section F, you don’t need to make copies of the bank reconciliations to place in Section F. Your cross-reference could be “See bank reconciliations in Section A.” Tick marks: For the sake of brevity...

...organisation needs to collect HR data It is essential for organisations to keep up to date and accurate records to ensure efficient forward planning, to meet requirements of employment equity legislation. Employment protection rights demand that we keep records of employees; two important reasons to maintain our records are listed below: 1. Verify, monitor, measure and address gaps, trends, progress and perceptions proactively identify opportunities for improvement and growth. 2. To promote an inclusive and equitable work culture to effectively thrive in an increasingly globalised, competitive business environment. HR records encompass a wide range of data relating to individuals working in an organisation, which may be stored in a variety of media, such as computer database or paper files. There and advantages and disadvantages to both media: 1.1 Paper records/ Paper Files: A risk analysis needs to focus on the secure storage and the prevention of threats such as fire or theft and relevant personnel can only access those files. There are legal requirements that employees are required to meet in terms of the length of time that specific documents are to be retained, so thought needs to be given to storage space and all files must be easily retrieved and accessed when required. The business must implement and maintain a good document discipline, i.e. no paper should be left laying around for unauthorised access, and a clean desk at night policy must be mandatory. However...

...users navigate libraries effectively and find the documents they require. * Use folders only if you need to scope unique permissions on documents or if you need to make a subset of documents easily offline-able by Microsoft Outlook. * If your library has more than 2,000 items, be sure you remove the out-of-the-box default view, which shows all items. Add views with filters so that no view returns more than 2,000 items. Paging and grouping doesn't count. You must use a filter. (BTW, in its sneak peek of SharePoint 2010, Microsoft announced that SharePoint 2010 will have large-list support, so this won't need to be done much longer.) 1. Usability. Nested folder structure is only known to the person who created it. Also, too many sub-folders tend to “hide” things. 2. URL length limitation. SharePoint adds all folder and sub-folder names to URL. Overall URL length is limited to around 260 characters. You are out of luck if you create too many sub-folders. 3. File URL. Moving file from one folder to another means change of file URL. 4. Security. Maintaining Security by folders in SharePoint is an administrative nightmare. Don’t even think about doing it! 5. User experience. User Experience (navigation, finding the documents) just stinks with folders (it is so 1990’s!) 6. File duplication. With folders you can deposit multiple copies of same file into different locations – not a good thing when you try to organize documents and data in the first place! 7. 1 Lonely View....

...addressed by myth, fiction and philosophy since antiquity.Artificial intelligence has been the subject of optimism, but has also suffered setbacks and, today, has become an essential part of the technology industry, providing the heavy lifting for many of the most difficult problems in computer science. AI research is highly technical and specialized, and deeply divided into subfields that often fail to communicate with each other.]Subfields have grown up around particular institutions, the work of individual researchers, the solution of specific problems, longstanding differences of opinion about how AI should be done and the application of widely differing tools. The central problems of AI include such traits as reasoning, knowledge, planning, learning, communication, perception and the ability to move and manipulate objects. General intelligence (or "strong AI") is still among the field's long term goals. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the area of computer science focusing on creating machines that can engage on behaviors that humans consider intelligent. The ability to create intelligent machines has...

...Books are symbolic of learning, and the educated. For years now, having a home library was the luxury few could afford. The lucky few who had one were immeasurably proud of it, and rightly so. Today, not only are books beginning to lose the value that they once had in the eyes of Man, their place in society has been increasingly challenged by the newborns of the digital age. New trends such as the increasing pace of life, the accelerating rate at which new information is being pedalled forth, and the ubiquity of the effects of capitalism have driven people to become more efficient. The by-product of such phenomena is that Man is taken as its slave, and only the interests of the market are considered, instead of the individual. Unfortunately, this has dealt a severe blow to the significance of the book in modern society. All indicators seem to point out that the book is unworthy of its more efficient counterparts like the personal computer or tablet. Yet, the book holds a special place in our hearts: its final trump card. We should not be too quick to oust the book out of our lives even with the proliferation of suitable alternatives, for there is still indeed worth of the hard copy even in the frenzy of modern society. Evolution seems to have taken mankind back to square one, where the modern man (like his ancestors thousands of years ago) worries about his next meal, appointment or payment. "Next" seems like the buzzword of modern society, with people constantly looking for...
