...Employee Portfolio-Management Plan Sammie Jay MGT/311 8/25/2014 N.N. Employee Portfolio-Management Plan Characteristics play an important role in finding the right person to fill a position in an organization. The management team not only has to find someone who can perform the requirements of the position successfully, but they must also choose someone who will be a team player, get along well with the other team members, work hard and diligently to complete their assignments and be open minded to new ideas and people. If the position is a management position those involved in the hiring process must be sure the person they hire is able to motivate and inspire others. How Employee Characteristics Affect the Performance of the Organization Employee characteristics play a large role in the performance of an organization. The three employees that completed the assessments all show strengths in being mostly in touch with their emotions, are happy and are able to focus on their work. They each have strengths in making good judgments and being empathetic towards others. These characteristics could come in very handy for an organization. Emotions are contagious. If one employee is happy and energetic it can inspire other workers to change their poor attitudes into good attitudes. The more good vibes that are given by employees the more they spread. Good attitudes help increase customer service and inspire new ideas and motivation. If a manager is...

...Zero Fatalities Don’t Drink And Drive Name: Keana Robinson Date: 1/29/2016 Zero Fatalities Don’t Drink and Drive Advertisements are meant for business purposes. They are made to market a product thus improve on the profits accrued by the producer. Such is a business. However, advertisements can have an entirely different purpose; send an important message to the masses, perhaps a warning or better still enlightening information. Also, so people won’t get easily bored. To come up with an advert for such an individual, one has to make it really flashy. It has to be eye-catching so that it can be read by as many people possible. The Teen Task Force came up with an advert targeting the youth. Mostly, research and statistics show that the teenagers and college students are the ones involved in accidents at the highest level. The Teen Task Force came up with a photo, entitled Zero Fatalities, one of the many found in a brochure. The aim was to educate the teenagers on the driving laws and the painful repercussions of not sticking to the driving laws. It is a simple photo which surely sends an emotional message to the reader. The photo shows a young and beautiful lady that is so full of life. Her skin is smooth and flawless, which seems to speak of her great health conditions. Evidently, she seems to enjoy life as she is not sulking. The girl, however, has a scar on her face more of a cut indicating she must have been involved in some type of accident. She has another mark...

...on the reading, explain whether it was the message or the medium that was the issue. Use examples from the book to support your argument. I had a situation with my supervisor that relayed a message through email and the message was not the best way to communicate a job that needed to be done. “Learning to write effectively involves, reading, writing, critical thinking, and hard work. (Business Communication for Success, 2012). The message didn’t rely when the job was due. The paperwork was not attached, instead he never gave me the paperwork so I was lost. When I confronted him with this problem he assumed that I already knew what to do. I went into his office to let him know that instead of sending me an email, he should have spoken to me face to face and I can clearly know what I am doing. If I has any questions to ask him I would have been able to have asked him right there and then. I do not mind sending messages through emails, but sometimes you do not look at your emails every second of the day. I did explain why I thought for future jobs that need critical attention it should be a face-to-face discussion. References Business Communication for Success (2012).

...Toy Company USA| To:|John Johnny, CEO| From:|--- || Date:|7/9/2012| Re:|Constructive Discharge of Former Employee. Research and Response.| Comments:|Following your request to investigate how our company should respond to the recent claim by a former employee under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 after our schedule policy change I have made several notes regarding how we should respond to their claim.A. Constructive Discharge: According to an article by the Denver Business Journal a person cannot sue for a constructive discharge. While this statement isn’t completely true, it is very difficult to prove Constructive Discharge, which means that an employee resigns because working conditions are so unpleasant or difficult that a reasonable employee would feel compelled to resign. The employee must provide evidence or notification, in writing, regarding the cause for them choosing to resign and then allow the employer fifteen days to respond, in writing, to those allegations. In order to prove that there was a constructive discharge the employee, or in this case the former employee, must “preponderance of the evidence that the articulated reasons are a pretext for discrimination” as noted in Duffy V. Paper Magic Group Inc. 1988. Also as noted in this case it is very difficult for the former employee to provide evidence that this was the case. In the United States Supreme Court decision in the Pennsylvania State Police V. Suders 2004 it was shown that the former...

...the credit for it, is a hero of air travel. Last week, writing about the Justice Department's move to block US Airways' planned merger with American Airlines, Mother Jones blogger Kevin Drum highlighted a novel counterargument. Mr Drum says that it is still "an open question whether deregulation was such a boon for the flying public in the first place," and points to a 2012 article by Phillip Longman and Lina Khan. In that piece, published in the Washington Monthly (where I was once an intern), Mr Longman and Ms Khan argue that airline deregulation has slowly killed mid-sized airports and the cities that depend on them. Here's the thesis: Over the years, most Americans have adopted a pretty standard line about the results [of airline deregulation]. On the one hand, complaining about the indignities of flying—overbooked, late, or cancelled flights; surly flight attendants; and, more recently, terrible in-flight food service and high fees for checked baggage— has become a staple of American life, much like complaining about Internet providers or health insurance companies. On the other hand, we’ve told ourselves, at least the increased competition has made air travel cheaper. And at least most of us can still get where we need to go by air.But now we find ourselves at a moment when nearly all the promises of the airline deregulators have clearly proved false. If you’re a member of the creative class who rarely does business in the nation’s industrial heartland or visits relatives...

...ENG 101 Bailey Writing Project 4 When Gee mentions the phrase dominant discourse he means a particular way of talking and thinking about a subject, created by those in power. This type of discourse is popular because it is admired and repeated a lot. So the dominant discourse Gee discusses is certainly used by a particular class, the upper class. The people in this upper class are usually white people. With dominant discourse, there are certain ways of talking and thinking that won’t be accepted so there is a need to conform to the same patterns of thinking and talking amongst the people conversing within this type of discourse. In the article, Gee gives an account of a conversation that was taking place in a bar. While the dialogue was taking place, the reader is shown what is and what is not appropriate as far as discourse is concerned. The type of discourse that an individual participates in is a learned behavior. Although it cannot really be taught from the media, the discourse of the individual is learned through their surroundings on a continual basis. Discourse can “rub off” on a person through their parents, the area in which they live, the community and how they act and speak and so on. My discourse was influenced by my parents, the school I went to and my friends and teammates. A big part of it was definitely school and my sports teams. I will be honest and say that my public high school was not the best as far as education goes so the people that attend there...

...25 Qualities and Characteristics of a Good Manager Posted on October 19, 2011 by admin Do you work well with others? Are you a leader? If you have these qualities, you might make a good manager. However, you need just more than these two qualities to be a good manager. There are a number of factors that play into whether or not you would make a good manager. The good news is that you don’t have to rely solely on natural, inborn traits. It is possible to develop the qualities good managers possess. You can complete a management program to learn some of the necessary characteristics, and you can also develop many desirable qualities on your own. As you prepare for a job in management, keep in mind these 25 qualities and characteristics of a good manager: Personal Characteristics There are items that can help you improve yourself, and enhance your interactions with others. Desirable personal characteristics make a manager someone that others can look up to, and feel comfortable following: Self-Motivation: An effective manager can’t motivate others if he or she can’t self-motivate. Self-motivation, the ability to get yourself going, and take charge of what’s next for you, is a vital personal characteristic for a manager. You have to keep yourself going — and motivate those who work with you. Integrity: People trust a good manager because they know he or she has personal integrity. Workers need to know that you will fight for them, do what you say, and follow the rules...

...Pain is necessary and important. In fact, it is an inborn drive, vital to our very existence (Hebb). Pain prompts us to change something, for instance, to move our hand off of a hot stove. It, therefore, prevents us from causing damage or even death to ourselves. It motivates us to protect an injured area, and the abatement of that pain lets us know when it is safe to use that area of our body again (Doctor's Surgery Center). While pain is a crucial sensation, required for our survival, it’s no secret that in our day to day lives we want to avoid it at all cost. Pain doesn’t feel good. Therefore, if we can avoid it, we will. This desire to avoid pain makes pain control a very big business. Google the word “pain” and you will get a return of about 215 million websites. These websites offer a vast array of pain management options, including a variety of medications, surgeries, medical therapies, complementary therapies, alternative therapies, emotional therapies, products, tools, and more. Notice the next time you watch television or listen to the radio how many advertisements there are for these products. To get some idea of how much money is spent annually on pain control we will look at just a few of these pain management options. Acetaminophen is the pain relieving ingredient found in Tylenol as well as a few other prescription and over-the-counter medications. The sales of this drug in 2009 were 2.6 billion dollars (Aubuchon). More than 400,000 carpal tunnel surgeries are...

...pointless, there are positive aspects to getting tattoos such as, being beneficial for the body and mind, and more people are actually receiving tattoos than they did 10 years ago. According to KidsHealth on their section “Tattoos,” Dr. Mary L. Gavin explains what exactly a tattoo is and goes into more depth on the risks, procedures for both getting and removing a tattoo, and the care process after the tattoo is finished. Gavin writes, “a tattoo is a puncture wound, made deep in the skin, that's filled with ink. It's made by penetrating into the skin with a needle and injecting ink into the area, usually creating some sort of design.” Tattoos are usually viewed in a negative light, however, Dr. Gavin helps shine light on the subject by writing the truth about tattoos and explaining how a tattoo is actually done. Tattooing was recorded to begin around the European Copper Age, in Italy on a man by the name of Ötzi the Iceman, in 3500-3100 B.C. Based on an article by Jarrett A. Lobell and Eric A. Powell, entitled “Ancient Tattoos,” Lobell and Powell write, “Ötzi [was] covered in more than 50 tattoos...

...never before. These immigrants, predominantly from southern and eastern Europe, were promised streets paved with gold, and wages higher than they can imagine. However the immigrants were not welcomed by streets paved with gold, rather they were welcomed by streets paved with trash and the air filled with smoke and pungent odors, as presented in the book The Jungle. The Jungle is a novel written by Upton Sinclair that displayed the severe working and living conditions that immigrants were forced to deal with. Upton Sinclair portrays the economic tensions and historical processes in hand in the late 19th, early 20th century showing us factory conditions, housing conditions, and political corruption through the eyes of an immigrant family. Writing the novel through the eyes of the family allows readers to feel sympathetic towards the family, and is why this book was so effective in bringing attention to the circumstances that the lower class was put in. The Jungle is about an immigrant family from Lithuania who came to the United States being promised a better life, however as soon as...

...to communicate with god. Nearly every religion contains a story relating to dreams and communication with a higher power. The process of the mind racing without control, creating emotional and physical sensations has even been theorized by neurologists, scientists, and those who have studied the subject, as a direct line between the conscious, and unconscious. Originally, dreams were believed to be a connection with humans and the mystical world. Dream interpretations have been documented for nearly five thousand years. “The Mesopotamian people (from what is now Iraq) included the Sumerians who left some of the earliest pictographic writings dating back to about 3100 B.C. By 2700 B.C. they had developed a cuneiform type of writing, which consisted of indentations on clay cylinders and tablets. Among their stories of religion, business, and war are accounts of gods speaking through dreams.” (radcliffe-oxford 20). These revelations are an underlying parallel with every documented society throughout time. It is without question that dreams and their interpretive meaning influenced ancient cultures and their beliefs. The early...

...customers and other managers that have interacted Kaplan, R. E. (1993). And I do not see any direct input from the coworkers, just what the manager has inferred. Thirdly, and probably most important, it seems the manager is somewhat prejudiced by a past experience in appraising this employee. It does not appear that the employee has been made part of the appraisal process and instead just gets it sprung on him during an annual review. This worker has lost all trust in this process for he was not involved and his skill set was not evaluated. I believe that the best way to resolve this is to give some empowerment to the employee by making him part of the appraisal process. The most commonly used sets of criteria for evaluation in the business world today are Task Outcomes, Behaviors, and Traits. These three criteria can generally cover those qualities in a worker that lead to a productive member of the company. Task Outcomes are usually defined by preset goals at the beginning of the appraisal period. This way you can quantitatively measure the workers ability to do their job. Not all outcomes though...
