...Training is what we feel is needed for these recruiter’s but after being trained there needs to be some measurable means. Recruiting is a job that depends on if the company is in need to fill jobs, so the measurement needs to be based on attainability. If an employee stays with the company for six months it can be used as a measurement to say that the recruiter gave the manager a good candidate for the job they needed to fill. There is also the measurement of performance, did the training the recruiter received help build their numbers up, did they have more candidates say with the company then they had before? Did they find people for those hard to fill positions or find people in a short period of time to feel jobs that came up quickly and needed to be filled in a short period of time. If this plan of training does not work it may be time to search for new recruiters, people who are using the many tools available to them to find candidates. If the people they are bringing in to the company are leaving in a few weeks then they are most likely not searching out the right fit for the company culture. Since there is no degree in talent acquisition if we can get the recruiter on track right away it increase their credibility and when candidates are called by these recruiters they will know that the job they are applying for is in their realm, and there is no misfortunate miscommunication when the interview comes up. Recruiters need to have the confidence in themselves to get...

...Business Research Problem Team C RES 351 April 7, 2014 Dr. Stephen Loro Contract and Pre-Paid Wireless Service Consumers and businesses in America spend billions on wireless service each year. In today’s world having a cellphone is a necessity. Team C would like to research between the contract and pay-as-you-go cost of wireless services. There are several companies offering wireless service and is up to the consumer to select the service that accommodates his/her needs. The price we paid for wireless services can help us save or budget additional income to this necessary expense. Research Problem The research problem is that consumers have more than one option to select the right wireless plan. Most companies offer a 2-year contract plan and the Pre-paid Services. The cost of the services is considerable lower to the Pre-paid services compared to the contract services. Wireless service providers are offering the same benefits within the same network. Verizon Wireless offers several two-year contract plans starting at $60.00, and pre-paid services with no contract requirements starting at $ 45.00 (Verizon.com). Depending on the amount of money a customer wants to pay they can get more data, minutes and coverage. Knowing the amount of usage can help consumers select the right plan. This research group will research the difference between contract and pre-paid wireless services offered by wireless companies within...

...A call center managers can use the statistical report to measure the efficiency and effectiveness of an employee in the areas of response time and service level, number of calls per employee, first call resolution, and transfer rate. By using the statistical report, it will help show the relationship between their performance and the organization standards or goals and it is easier to visualize. It can also be utilized by the managers to take necessary corrective actions if needed. The response time and service level can be measured by the monitoring how many calls are answered within how many seconds and total number of calls in a day is being answered. It is important to monitor the total amount of calls but we must consider the number of calls an employee is answering and should be reported to ensure that individual employee is properly assessed. This will also show if the employees are answering them promptly and not just a handful is answering the calls. The first call resolution (FCR) measures the individuals’ ability to accomplish the task in one transaction and not transfer the call. Transfer rate indicates how many calls have been transferred to another party to be handled. Monitoring the number of calls being transferred can identify if there are any performance gaps and training if needed (Reynolds 2012).

...Differences between measurements and evaluation MEASUREMENT | EVALUATION | 1 | Measurement refers to the process by which the attributes or dimensions of some physical objects are determined. | Evaluation referrers to the process designed to provide information that will help us make judgment about a given situation. | 2 | Measurement uses standard instruments to determine the magnitude of physical quantities. | Evaluation sometimes relies on the information from measurements and assessments to determine the worthiness or appropriateness of something or a given situation. | 3 | Measurement involves the systematic way of assigning numerals to persons, objects or places based on a logical and acceptable goal. | Evaluation involves value based judgments on quantified attributes of a person, situation, objects or places to determine the goodness, validity, legality, etc. | 4 | Measurement is the process of quantifying observations or descriptions about a quantity or attribute of a thing or person. Thondike and Hagen (1986). It is the process of quantifying assessment data. | Evaluation referrers to the comparison of data to a standard for the purpose of judging worth or quality. | 5 | Measurement houses only test of magnitudes and numbers | Evaluation houses measurement and testing | 6 | To apply a standard scale or measuring device to an object, series of objects, events, or conditions, according to practices accepted...

...Project management performance measurements Karen Mahich MGT/437 May 24, 2011 Mr. Pacheco Project management performance measurements Performance measures help organizations in the decision making process of future improvements by helping the organization understand what practices have been successful in the past and which have been failures. They are quantitative or qualitative ways to define performance and provide a tool for the organization to manage and define key indicators of organizational performance and customer satisfaction. Performance measures should identify the population measured, method, data source and time period, each measure should also be: • Easy to understand • Objective • Timely • Cost-effective • Controllable by minimizing outside influences • Accurate Speed Speed is different than time it represents the pace at which the final product functions and time measures the overall project schedule. It is important to understand that time would refer to the overall schedule, and speed would measure the performance level of the final product. Accuracy This is an important measure of performance, because it represents how well the system that the project put together actually functions. A project team could construct a product on time and on budget that is highly faulty regardless of the fact that the project was successful within two of the constraints, if it is not accurate, it fails to...

...you do not know where you are standing now, how could you know if the strategy is successful in the future. The best ways to measure success in social media can vary from business to business. That is why, it is important to know what your objectives are and who your target is. For example, the Ferrari page in Facebook has 5,300,000 of likes. That means that this page is active and has a huge quantity of traffic, but how many of the people that like this page is a Ferrari owner or is a possible buyer for a Ferrari. Even though the majority of the people that like this page are not Ferrari’s owners or possible buyers, they are creating brand awareness that is extremely important for a successful company. The most frequent way used to measure success in social media strategy is measuring traffic. Traffic refers to the activity of the web page or how many people enter to the page. This can be measured per hour, daily, monthly annually or however you want. Using traffic to measure social media is a helpful tool, but we need to have in mind that sometimes quality is better than quantity. Once there is traffic, we can measure interaction. Interaction is the participation of consumers in the webpage, for example ratings, reviews and comments. It is a useful metric because it tells you the kind of traffic you are attracting. Sales is another key tool in social media because it allows to measure the increase or decrease in sales and more important than that, it shows you what is causing...

...Performance Measurement Linda Tate MGT/437 April 21, 2014 Michael Koma Performance Measurement Performance measurement is an essential part of the company; it provides a stage for managers and supervisors, as well as, the performance of its employees. It helps them determine whether or not employees are meeting the company’s expectations. Performance measurement methods differ according to the work surroundings, such as, the company, and the occupation of the employee. It can determine an employee’s employment status, and his or her compensation, as well as, their opportunity for advancement. Because of this performance management should consist of methods that use fair and correct assessments of the employee’s performance. To help employer’s measure employee’s performance, they must establish performance standards, which define what employees need to meet or exceed the company’s expectations (Ruth Mayhew, 2014). This paper will compare and contrast three performance measurements for the working environment of the company, and then the importance of performance measurements within a project. Graphic Rating Scales This is the first performance measurement; it is perfect for production work environments, like fast food restaurants. A list of job duties and performance standards is listed on a scale rating from 1 to 5, which rates the employee’s performance. This method requires preparation and can be completed quickly; this is superb for managers who...

...CHAPTER NINE Quantity, Logic, Time, Movement, and Velocity C H A P T E R 8 dealt with what might be called the first wave of Piaget's experimental assault on the development of intelligence in the postinfancy years. There was to be a second wave, of larger scale and longer duration. This second wave of research had a small beginning in the period 1935-1940 with a few scattered journal articles (e.g., Inhelder, 1936; Meyer, 1935; Szeminska, 1935; Piaget and Szeminska, 1939) and moved into high gear in 1941 with the publication of the first (Piaget, 1952b) of a long series of full-length books on various cognitive-developmental problems: number, quantity, logic, space, time, and so on. QUANTITY There are several studies which touch on one or another aspect of the child's grasp of quantity notions (Apostel, Morf, Mays, and Piaget, 1957; Fischer, 1955; Inhelder, 1936; Piaget, 1960a; Piaget and Szeminska, 1939; Szeminska, 1935). The earlier papers are primarily of historical interest, since their contents have for the most part been incorporated into the systematic book on the subject by Piaget and Inhelder, Le Developpement des quantites chez I'enfant (1941). This book is divided into four sections, each three chapters long. In addition, there is the customary chapter of summary and conclusions at the end of the book. The first section deals with what is probably the best-known segment of the quantity work: the so-called conservation of matter, weight, and volume of an object...

...Space Utilization Definition of space utilization: a measure of whether or not and how space is being used Measurements of Space Utilization Utilization Rate: * a function of a frequency rate and an occupancy rate Frequency Rate: * measures the proportion of time that space is used compared to its availability Occupancy Rate: * measures how full the space is compared to its capacity Utilization rates can be assessed in terms of both actual use and individual use. Note that a low frequency rate doesn’t mean that a room is not being utilized efficiently or effectively, nor whether any processes need to change. A low frequency rate only means that demand for that space was low during the period of time that was measured. However, when frequency rate is coupled with an occupancy rate, how often and how many occupants are occupying a space during the times the space is populated becomes visible. A low utilization rate may mean that processes need to change. Strategic Importance of Space Utilization Strategic Goals of Measuring Space Utilization: * Identification of the balance between space needs and space provision * Establishment of a basis for space allocation * Identification of best practices; standardization of processes * Observation of space utilization efficiency * Identification and highlighting of areas of under-use and over-use * Identification of the gaps between timetabled use and actual use * Recognition...

...Performance measurement is the process of using a tool based on research (a "performance measure") to evaluate a managed organization, plan or program. A responsible, providing entity can be identified, is held accountable for its observed behavior, and has a reasonable degree of control over the aspect of care being evaluated in what the term "performance" implies. The term "measurement" implies that the approach being used is rigorous and systematic. It also has to be quantifiable. In many industries performance measurement is a type of evaluation that is used. For example, a common way of evaluating car performance is to calculate miles per gallon, a performance measure. This is a simple ratio of the number of miles driven divided by the number of gallons of gas consumed. Performance measurement is now increasingly common in health care as well. Some examples of application of performance measurement are the percentage of children age 2 who receive the appropriate immunizations. This, too, is a simple ratio of the percentage of children age 2 with the appropriate immunizations divided by the total number of children age 2 in the applicable population (health program, MCO, State, etc.). Another example is the percentage of parents reporting "not a problem" in obtaining a specialist referral for their child. Again, this is a simple ratio of the percentage of parents reporting "not a problem" divided by the total number of parents in the applicable population who...
