...reside at the downtown Women’s Residential Program. Public Service Consulting worked with the YWCA to help raise funds and build support for both projects. PSC helped develop the fundraising strategy and wrote grants for capital investment to build the Family Center. We also helped organize and facilitate the Neighborhood Advisory Council to build support for the project and work through community issues. PSC developed a staff training plan and coordinated training for more than 50 staff members prior to the facility opening in October of 2005. At the downtown Women’s Residential Program, PSC worked with YWCA administrators to research and develop a successful three-year funding proposal that greatly expands supportive services and facilities for women in the program. Prior to the expansion, staff offices and program locations were spread out over seven floors, with staff available mostly on weekdays during office hours. Now services are consolidated on one floor with a friendly, convenient “drop-in” center approach for residents. Supportive service staff are available around-the-clock to help residents achieve their goals, and to improve building safety and security. PSC continues to work with the Resident Council to refine the new program design, and coordinates meetings of the peer recovery program in partnership with the Commons at Grant and YMCA supportive housing...

...The Universal Language Matthew Murphy ENG 111 Introduction to Composition Spring 2014 The Universal Language My journey began with a telephone call. This was before everyone had a cell phone. The house phone rang in my parent’s kitchen. I was a junior in high school, hadn’t travelled much yet, wanted to get out and experience the country. When I picked up the phone a voice that I didn’t recognize asked for me. All that I could think was “Damn, another recruiter.” As it turns out I was correct, just not in the way I thought. The voice on the phone introduced himself as Nic Simons of the Troopers Drum and Bugle Corps. Now I had head of the Troopers, My primary musical influence had performed with them and treasured the experience. Nic offered me a position with the Troopers playing something called a contrabass bugle; all I had to do was get to Casper Wyoming, in three days with $500. The deal sounded like winning the lottery with a kicker of performing live! Of course I was in. When I arrived in Casper, having scraped together the last of my savings I didn’t know what to expect. My folks dropped me off at the Corps office, which was connected to a bingo hall, the smell of cigarette smoke pervasive, as if it would invade everything and there was no stopping it. After my parents signed paperwork giving their official permission to leave for the summer ad travel around the country with a group of people they had never met, we said a short goodbye that had my mom in...

...The Best HR Department Project Lauren Secko Human Resource Management SNHU 71 Aiken Street, Unit H6 Norwalk, CT 06851 Telephone: 203.550.8114 Email: lsecko@newcanaanymca.org Instructor: Dr. Bonnie Nelsen Executive Summary The best HR departments are ones that bring out the best in the team that they are working with. This is done through asking for and being open to feedback from those that you are representing. There are many components that go into this process, and one is no more important than the next. It is all of them together that brings forth an innovative and inclusive HR department that is there to service each and every staff member that is hired. From training and development, to retention and top talent recruitment, HR departments need to understand what is important to their staff and how they can make that team feel engaged and valued. When one is able to perfect that, they can then formulate a department and company that is working towards a common mission and goal. I hope to address this process through my paper that follows. The Best HR Department The best HR departments are ones that are able to attract and help to retain top talent. These departments help their employees feel valued as more than just a number or a tool to make their company better. Instead they make sure that employees know that who they are outside of work and what experiences they bring to the table every day, are valued and received. HR should be a place...

...self-aware and this allows me to understand my strengths and weaknesses. According to DuBrin (2010) by utilizing this awareness, I can recognize effectively whether I am liked and if I am exerting the right amount of pressure to get tasks completed and reach mission accomplishment (p. 45). I also have a high social awareness. It takes a certain level of empathy to listen to others and help solve issues, while showing that I care. This is especially important in the First Sergeant role. “Working with their fellow SNCOs and supervisors, first sergeants ensure equitable and effective discipline, and the highest level of esprit de corps” (United States. Department of the Air Force, 2009, p. 17). This job also requires a great deal of relationship management. “This includes the interpersonal skills of being able to communicate clearly and convincingly, disarm conflicts, and build strong personal bonds” (DuBrin, 2010,...

...the divorce she could literally be left with nothing and no means to support her children other than child support. After reading this some may argue that there are those who look to latch on to the military system for nothing more than a means to support their lives and receive a monthly check from some young joe who did not know better going into the marriage, I would agree. Currently, we are talking about those who have spent the better part of the marriage supporting the husband and due to circumstances beyond their control the marriage has fallen apart. An example of this scenario is currently happening out of Hawaii with a First Sergeant in 130th engineer brigade. His 15 year marriage ended in divorce. This is nothing uncommon, relationships end. However in this scenario the now Master Sergeant began dating his Battalion Chaplain's Assistant...

...one-man business, all the activities are performed by the owner himself. But when the owner employs someone to assist him, he has to determine the work to be done by the employee and give him the right to use materials, machinery, equipment, etc. This is the point when organising becomes necessary. As more people are appointed, there has to be further division and sub-division of work among them. When an organisation becomes large, separate departments are created to perform different functions. Each department has to be divided into a number of smaller units. Ultimately, the work of the organisation is divided into a number of positions of employees and managers. Relationships are then established among the different positions in the organisation. The outcome of the organising process is a set of formal relationships which is known as organisation structure. In this lesson, we shall study about the process of organising which leads to the setting up of an organisation structure. 13.2 OBJECTIVES After studying lesson, you will be able to : � state the meaning and the process of organising; � enumerate the steps in the organising process; � explain what is done in each step; � state the meaning of...

...Maria Escobedo RHT 102 A Waitress's Instructions on Tipping The poem "A Waitress's Instructions on tipping or Get the Cash up and Don't Waste My Time" by Jan Beatty shows more depth and insight on the realities and in fractures of tipping. This poem is an example of a free verse. It has no rhyming or formal structure where it shows her experience as an irritated, mad and greedy waitress. She remarks on several points like the importance of the tipping, because it is the wage for waitresses. Moreover, any and every special request needs to be tipped extra. There is never an over tip for a waitress. Lastly, customers do not own the waitress. Beatty uses exaggerations in her poem to make sure we all perceive her message (Importance). In this poem, Beatty shows how some waitresses live from tips. On line eleven she says, "Remember, I am somebody's mother or daughter."(706) This is one of the strongest images in the poem. In some way she is calling out to her customers who probably have or are someone's mother or daughter. She is trying to make them see that she is a human and loved just like they are. The content of the poem help us understand of waitresses. "Throughout the poem, while we are being lectured on proper tipping, we come to understand that the waitress is in a position where she depends on our gratuities."(Importance). For a waitress, every special request is a waste of time if the customer does not appreciate the waitress's job and gives a good...

...` Philip Combs Jed Wyman WR121 05 May 2011 A Controlled Mayhem By: Philip Combs The idea of boot camp is dreaded by most everyone that has to face the reality of replacing their nice, warm, loving, and familiar home environment with military barracks, filled with drill sergeants who are now your over bearing parents, and hundreds of other people of the same sex who are now your wretchedly unhappy brothers or sisters. The amiable bedroom where you lay your head to rest so often is gone, but don’t worry, you’ll now have a new bedroom to sleep in, the carpet is replaced with concrete floors, your bed has grown legs stretching upward to support the second mattress laying above you, and your privacy is now shared with 10 other stinky human beings, all as homesick and miserable as you. The closet where you had all of your dirty laundry thrown in a ragged pile in the corner has transformed into a wall locker that includes a cabinet with three pull out drawers, and exactly 18 hangers, no more, no less. Don’t worry though, in this essay I’m going to provide you with enough information to help you prepare for your 9 weeks of controlled mayhem, and help you get a glimpse of what to expect, allowing you to make an educated decision, hopefully before you have signed the dotted line. I’m going to start by explaining how to prepare for BCT (basic combat training). After enlisting and taking your oath of allegiance you will be given your ship...

...Communicating in the Workplace. Assignment #1 Who was the sender: The Supervisor (Unit Commander) Who was the receiver: The Supply Sergeant What was the message: To order new uniforms for all soldiers in the unit. (New digital Fatigues – Dept of the Military 2006) What channel was used to send the message: Email What was the misunderstanding: Why was the Supply Sergeant ordering uniforms again because he had received the Statewide memo via email stating that all soldiers would have to have the new uniforms by a certain date and he had already done it. He felt that the commander failed to read the memo and he was being double tasked. How could the misunderstanding be avoided: If the unit commander read the email in its entirety, he would have seen that the letter furnished to him as a courtesy copy. He could have also communicated with the Supply Sergeant. I learnt if the Commander had taken the time to read the full email message not just the subject line and first paragraph he would have seen at the bottom of the message that he was copy furnished with the same memo that was sent to all Supply Sergeants for that unit. I think the main cause of misunderstanding was not paying attention to detail. The Commander was probably rushing through his email and knowing the significance of the memo just sent it without reading all the information. Assignment #2 Who is the sender: First Sergeant Who was the receiver: Squad leaders What was the message:...

...owners of Staff One attempted a few short term adjustments to pull in the reign on the accounting of the business as well as other aspects of the business of staffing. In the past they trusted the office manager to pay the bills, deposit the checks and pay the employees. They expected her to be truthful when questioned about specifics. They expected the information regarding payments and bank account balances shown to them to be accurate. Never in their wildest dreams would they have thought that payments made to the IRS would be deleted, bank statements were falsified or that a second set of QuickBooks would have been downloaded on the computer. Technological Improvement Many long term changes need to be implemented at Staff One but a good start is with a system that schedules employees, houses client and employee information as well as timekeeping information. A scheduling system more inclusive of the system used in the past is what is needed. A system that has the ability to involve clients, employees, managers and the owners of the company. A system that gives both ‘front office’ and ‘back office’ access. The system must also be used to as much of its capacity as possible. It is time for Staff One to learn to rely on outsourcing providers with extensive experience in dealing with Information Systems and Technology. (Pearlson & Saunders 2013) There is a system available that would meet the needs of Staff One, it is...

...Tipping Smiley Faces Kameron Coleman Dr. Lora Jacobi PSY 133.001 Core Assignment Tipping Smiley Face Part 1 The research problem is finding what factors of being a waiter or waitress earn bigger tips. The authors Rind and Bordia conducted an experiment in which a waiter and waitress were to serve customers and have a certain variable affect their tip. In the case of this experiment they used a smiley face on the back of the check. There were many independent variables that could have been used; the smiley face was used in this case, and also the male and female as a whole. The servers were given fifty 3 x 5 cards. Half the cards had smiley faces drawn on them and the other half did not. They were then randomly shuffled to vary which cards were drawn. When a waiter was to present their check to the diners they would draw a card to determine if a smiley face would be put on the check or not. When presenting the check they were to present the check to every customer with a neutral facial expression to avoid any more contact with the customer and say “Here’s your check” and immediately leave. The only dependent variable was the tip that the waiters earned. The tip percentage was measured by dividing the tip size by the bill amount and then multiplying it by 100. I believe that the male would receive less on his tips regardless of the smiley face. I believe this is because some customers will perceive this as weird coming from a male, unlike the female. Many might...
