The position is a full time administrative assistant and she got the job after she went for the interview. However, she was terminated on her very first day.

...1.0 Recruitment & Retention Plan Recruitment refers to the process of attracting, screening and selecting qualified people for a position within an organization (Sheryl & Amy, 2012). According to the case study, the major issue is the difficulty in attracting new employees. To be more specific, Hospital ABC found that there are still vacancies in critical areas that have yet to be filled up. Even with extended block, the Hospital will have difficulty attracting good employees as there are many other private hospitals competing for the same pool of talent. These hospitals are not afraid to pay above average market rates to secure these employees. Organizations within the healthcare industry are competing for qualified applicants to safeguard future growth. As such, there is a need for organizations to analyze the existing market competition for talent and create the corresponding responses in terms of competitive reward packages. The recruitment policies of the competitors also affect the recruitment function of the organizations. To face the competition, many organizations have to change their recruitment policies according to the policies being followed by the other competitors. The recruitment policy of an organization states the objectives of recruitment and provides a structure for implementation of recruitment program. Of primary importance is to ensure the organization’s recruitment plan is reaching out to the right talent pool in filling open roles. At the same time...

...Kendra Ballard BUS 259.0001 April 19, 2015 Executive Summary Sexual Harassment, Workplace Romance According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, sexual harassment is defined as unwelcomed sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature. Harassment does not have to be of sexual nature but can also include offensive remarks about a person’s sex. Sexual harassment claims are becoming more popular as years go by according to reports showing increases in number of claims submitted within the past years to current. Sexual harassment is illegal when matters become severe by creating a hostile environment and or adverse employment decision, including termination or demotion. Sexual harassment has become more tolerable because society has failed to recognize the behavior and do something about it versus accept the behavior and belittle ourselves. Regardless of the sex, sexual harassment can happen to anyone any age, there is not a set age requirement on the rules and regulations when it comes to sexual harassment cases. It is important for companies to have a written policy and procedure when it comes to sexual harassment within the workplace.

...that are available to another group, leading to the exclusion of the individual or entities based on logical or irrational decision making. Discriminatory traditions, policies, ideas, practices, and laws exist in many countries and institutions in every part of the world, even in ones where discrimination is generally looked down upon. In some places, controversial attempts such as quotas or affirmative action have been used to benefit those believed to be current or past victims of discrimination but have sometimes been called reverse discrimination themselves. Inequality in the workplace is any form of bias or discrimination that takes place in a work environment and is established, promoted, or allowed to persist by the workplace authority. It is common for a workplace to have inequalities based on gender, race, and social class. There is usually a hierarchy that exists in the workplace in which managers, leaders and executives are paid higher wages and have more authority and prestige than those below them. One’s sexual orientation is a “predilection for homosexuality, heterosexuality, or bisexuality”. Like most minority groups, homosexuals and bisexuals are not immune to prejudice and discrimination from the majority group. They may experience hatred from others because of their sexual preferences; a term for such hatred based upon one’s sexual...

...Case Study Analysis name COMM/215 May 9, 2012 Case Study Analysis The lack of training and skill of ABC, Inc newest recruiter lead to a situation that would cost the company its reputation and the recruiter its job, and there might not be enough time left to fix the pending issues. The company’s newest recruiter Carl Robins got a very rude awakening when he realized that he might not be able to fulfill his promises to his direct supervisor and he could lose his job as a result. Background Carl Robins is the campus recruiter for ABC, Inc. He recruited new hires to work for Monica Carrols who is the operations supervisor. The new hire orientation schedule was dated. Robins assured Carrols that everything would be done in time. Robins later realized that some of the trainees did not have completed applications and neither were their transcripts on file. In addition, none of them had been to the clinic for the mandatory drug screen. He searched for the orientation manuals only to find three copies with several pages missing from each. He got frustrated after visiting the orientation room because it was booked for the entire month of July by Joe who is from the technology services for the new databases software implementation. Robins is stressed over the matter and does not know what to do next. Robins has not followed up on the schedule because some of the trainees have not been to their drug screening. He will let Carrols down after assuring her that...

...Final Paper Introduction In this paper we will be exploring and analyzing the disciplines of business communication and organizational leadership. In regards to these disciplines we will be looking at their history, three bachelor’s degree programs, 3 masters programs, hot topics in these fields and also be looking at peer reviewed articles in these fields. We will also use these disciplines to investigate the real-world challenge of the gender pay gap by using existing peer-reviewed literature of Business Communication and Organizational Leadership. “Some scholars see business communication as a hybrid discipline with broad theoretical traditions in rhetorical theory, communication theory and management theory making business communication the intersect of such (Shaw, 1993: Smeltzer, Glab & Golden, 1983); while other argue that to identify the field of business communication the conceptual problematic underlying its intellectual inquiry should be examined, rather than by its instructional practices or vocabulary (Murphy, 1988). It seems that research on this subject started in 1993 with Dulek, R.E. 1993). Models of development: Business school and business communication, there are also text book themes that have emerged from 1910 to 1974. Familiar items that have emerged are: human relations and consumer behavior” In order to get a business communication degree from ASU a person must take an array of different courses. Someone must take communications courses, managements...

...Critical Evaluate “Stress” & “Ethics” of Foxconn A string of suicides occurred at Taiwanese-owned Foxconn in China in recent years has drawn great media attention (BBC, 2010). 20 Chinese universities worked as a team to pursue the story behind the Foxconn which they described as “labour camp” (Chan, 2013). As the major manufacturer of Apple, Foxconn should undertake the due obligations but Apple also cannot avoid its responsibility. A case study “Apple’s efforts fail to end gruelling conditions at Foxconn factories” is presented to scrutinize and evaluate the causes that result in the industrial injuries. Students and Scholars against Corporate Misbehavior (SACOM) suggests that overtime working, poor leadership and absence of working relationship drive the assembly line employees to commit suicide (Heffernan, 2013). However, The Guardian （media source） highlights that the working conditions at Foxconn factories is the main problem. Therefore, “ethics” and “stress” are chosen as the entry points to find the “apple of discord”. Initially, ethics will be introduced for understanding the moral principles and its effectiveness. Resnik (2011) describes the ethics as the “norms for conduct that distinguish between acceptable and unacceptable behaviour”. In business environment, Hanson (2010) believes "business ethics is the study of the standards of business behaviour which promote human welfare and the good". However, when two moral principles have conflicts, ethical dilemmas...
