As we create a complete risk management strategy plan for Baderman Island Resort the following will be included: risk assessment and management program, health and safety programs, succession plan, and crisis contingency plan.

Employee wellness programs are important, as Baderman Island Resort wants to boost morale, improve health and fitness and increase productivity in the workplace. Succession planning is an integral piece of an organization as it determines how successful an organization will be in the future as employees move on to new roles.

...Sustainable development is appearing with increasing frequency in trade union discussions around the world, as concern mounts over the deteriorating state of our natural and man-made environment. Such threats as global climate change have caught the attention of trade union members, especially with publicity given to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2001),1 the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP, 2000), the Worldwatch Institute (2001) and other high-profile reports. Trade unionists in unprecedented numbers are joining the search for solutions that go beyond environmental issues to embrace such related social and economic conditions as poverty, dysfunctional subsidies, unfair trade and price structures, corruption and unemployment, all of which reflect longstanding trade union concerns. It is significant that concern over sustainable development should be occurring just as the world’s trade unions are coming to grips with the notion of globalization. For although the nature of this phenomenon has yet to be adequately analysed and clarified, it has taken on its own meaning in trade union discussions and policy papers. What is significant for this paper, however, is the extent to which the trade union perspective on sustainable development incorporates its concerns about globalization. Trade union discussions about sustainable development invariably turn to current social and economic developments, and their implications for workers. Throughout history...

...Negotiations Group Theory November 2, 2014 BO Most of the limitations of solar power come from one place. That is the lack of infrastructure in place to support it. That is the source of the argument about whether to user solar power and how much to use it. On one side people will argue that solar power can’t support our power needs. It costs too much to implement, and isn’t reliable enough. On the other side people will argue that solar power is free to use. If we invest more in infrastructure and research new, more efficient energy storage technologies, then the price for implementation can be brought down. These are the reasonable arguments that both sides make, however also have those with extreme views on the issue. There are some that will not consider any alternative energy solutions, because they are making money off of what is in place already. They implement roadblocks in the way of alternative energy solutions, and sometimes buy up patents and never use them. Those that hold the extreme view for alternative energies believe that everyone should stop using fossil fuels, and use only alternative energies. Many believe that we should spare no expense to getting new energies in place. Some even believe that we should take a step back, and trying using less energy. They believe that we should try to integrate more into our environment. They look at the past and say “Hey, we used to live this way.” They forget about the advances we have made because of our modern...

...Is Genetically Modified Food Safe? Shana Kritzer Lourdes University 23 April 2013 Is Genetically Modified Food Safe? In the spring of 1998, a riot broke out, just outside of Norfolk, England. The cause was not labor disputes or race relations, but a crop of genetically modified food. What began as a peaceful demonstration of anti-genetic modification Greenpeace protesters evolved into a riotous crowd of about 150, who after trampling security guards, marched onto the field and began uprooting and destroying a plot of genetically modified (GM) corn. Protesters used bare hands, trimming shears, and a mowing machine to destroy over 4 acres of the 6 acre plot. Farm workers tried to drive protesters away with a mechanical digger and shovels, while the farm manager disabled the mowing machine by ramming it with his tractor, but the protesters continued to demolish the crop field. After fifteen minutes police arrived and managed to break up the riot. The protest led to 30 arrests and 26 injuries (6 police officers, 12 farm workers, 8 protesters) (“GM Protesters”). After 12 more incidents like this one, numerous raids and attacks on food stores and labs selling or producing genetically modified products, the controversy and upset in England has still not reached an end. Around the world the debate on genetically modified food continues. Products containing genetically modified ingredients dominate the grocery shelves, with at least seventy-five percent of processed...

...Poverty and Pollution – Case Study Third world countries are those which are poorer in standard of living and underdeveloped counties of the world. Third World nations are mostly located in Africa, Asia and South America absorbing the adverse conditions of poverty and pollution, the developed nations primarily differ from the developing nations in terms of political and economic rather than geographic. These developing or underdeveloped countries often struggle with population growth, poverty, famines, malnutrition, unsafe water supplies and wars while the residents in these countries are now experiencing the consequences of air, water and land pollution. In under developed countries, governments are often overthrown by military rebellions or are led by dictators. Pollution in many third world nations is unchecked and unrestricted. These countries suffer due to the poor environmental conditions. And the government continues to neglect countless other problems in these nations. Formation and enforcement of regulations related to environmental conditions would be catastrophic for a nation which is so much buried under the condition of poverty. So these countries have very limited choices such as either have basic needs to live or have healthy environment. If the choice is given this way, what would any one choose in countries that don’t have other options to consider? People choose to have needs instead of the environment because it consists of basic human needs such as food...

...of Health and Safety Management on Employee Safety at the Ghana Ports and Harbour Authority Ruby Melody Agbola ⃰ Department of Management, Central University College. P.O. Box 2305, Tema, Ghana * E-mail of the corresponding author: rubyagbola@yahoo.co.uk Abstract The Ghana Ports and Harbour Authority (GPHA) has been plagued with series of fatal accidents and catastrophes claiming the lives of many employees in recent years. The purpose of this study is to examine the Safety and Health Management Systems (SHMS) implemented by the GPHA, assess the effectiveness of these measures in reducing accidents and death; and evaluate the impact of accidents and work-related illnesses on the employee safety at work. The results reveal an organisation fraught with poor health and safety management practices, poor training in safety know-how, lack of information on dangerous chemicals and hazardous materials, lack of monitoring and enforcement of safety rules, unavailability of essential safety equipments, with adverse effects on employees and the organisational performance. GPHA must increase education and create awareness of the importance of health and safety, ensure collection and storage of data for effective monitoring and evaluation of safety performance. Keywords: Ghana, Ports, Harbour, Safety, Health 1.

...Sainsbury’s which is a well renowned retail supermarket in the U.K. is the company which I will emphasize through this assignment. It was formed by John James Sainsbury and Mary Anne Sainsbury in 1869 as a small dairy shop in Drury Lane, London. Subsequently as a consequence of their hard work more new stores were opened in other market streets in Stepney, Islington & Kentish Town. Since those early days it has evolved in leaps and bounds to be on the level which it is in the present. Having seen two world wars, severe economic collapses, competition and etc… it is amazing the route they have come across and to be able to do so they should have had some significant aspects and in this assignment we will evaluate on them. Initially the founding principle of the company was to be the first choice of the customers for food shopping by offering, • High quality products • Value for money • Good customer service.
