...up to 50 homeless families in Columbus every night. At the same time, the YWCA is expanding facility space and supportive services for 100 women who 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...

...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...

...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...

...guests. If there was no one they would walk around and help where needed. We did see one that was washing windows and cleaning tables. The Wait staff was approximately 12 strong. They were very polite and friendly. They help each other out. One waitress came to our table and informed us she was helping our waitress out and would take our drink orders. Then our waitress came and introduced herself. During the time our waitress was not busy she also assisted other wait staff and help in the prepping area in the kitchen. The wait staff was always active - we had many of them come by to ask if we needed anything. The wait staff seemed to support one another and balance out when certain staff was too busy. We saw many tables get assistance from different wait staff. Their actions indicated they had a great team atmosphere. In the Kitchen there were 6 cooks. The cooks worked feverously to get things made and prepared for the wait staff. They had one head cook that seemed to give the directions and pull tickets from the printer. He would work back and forth gathering the necessary items needed for each plate. He would inspect the plates before the wait staff would take them. He was assisted by certain wait staff and the managers when things got too busy. The majority of the time he spent visiting with the wait staff and...

...QUALITATIVE SERVICE PROGRAM (QSP) Effective April 1, 2012 the Army activated the enlisted Qualitative Service Program (QSP) to identify NCOs for involuntary early separation from active duty. The QSP consists of a series of centralized enlisted selection board processes designed to support the Army Leader Development Strategy (ALDS) and to retain the highest quality NCOs who display the greatest potential for continued service while satisfying mandated force structure requirements. An active duty Noncommissioned Officer (NCO), upon attaining the rank of Staff Sergeant (SSG), serves in a voluntary indefinite status once they reenlist with over 10 years of active federal service (AFS). These NCOs continue to serve on active duty consistent with a retention control point (RCP) for the rank they hold. Depending on their rank, the maximum period of service may extend up to 35 years. Combined with promotion timing, RCPs establish specific leader development gateways used to develop a professional NCO Corps. When faced with rapid structure reductions, especially at the senior NCO grades, the Army cannot achieve balance by natural attrition alone. A force shaping process to accelerate losses becomes necessary in order to preserve viable career paths across all military occupational specialties (MOSs) in an effort to sustain an All Volunteer Army. Because the Army cannot achieve future end strength requirements through natural loss of personnel, the Army developed and implemented...

...` 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...

...without the support of her abusive husband. In the opening of the movie she moves her children and herself back to her hometown. Living with her parents, who are not supportive of her actions, she wants to be able to support her children. Her hometown is a mining town, where we find they have begun to employee woman. However, we find that most, of the mostly male workforce, is not totally accepting of their female counterparts. This mindset is supported by from the top all the way down – this attitude is even supported by Josey’s own father. The men of the plant go beyond simply just showing their dislike for women in their workplace and torture the women of the mine but verbally and physically. Josey’s sexually activities are put in question throughout the movie. She attempts to seek help from her manager to the owner of the company who begin to blame her for her activity. Josey attempts to gain the support of her fellow female co-worker and get the men to understand that they are there for the opportunity to do the job, too. But she finds herself alone and begins to take action on her own. She has finally had a enough and partner’s with a lawyer to create the first ever class action sexual harassment lawsuit against the company.

...Minnesota State Arts Board, which is a state agency that simulates and encourages the creation, performance, and appreciation of arts in the state. We also have Partners in Arts Participation, which is a pilot grant program designed to broaden opportunities for Minnesotans to participate in the arts. Another program we have is called K-12 Arts Challenge Minnesota Grant, which is a noncompetitive grant program and funds are given out first come first serve. I do feel that we have enough support in Minnesota. The programs I named were just a few of the many programs we have to support art in the cities. I do however think people here need to be more supportive of children in arts. It is important to get them started at a young age and many people do not feel that art is important. I think it helps to expand a child’s way of thinking and it helps them to excel in other areas, because they know if something doesn’t work one way it’s time to take a new approach. My role in the creation and support of art in my community is very small and could get better. I do however start with my son, just like my parents did as well as my in-laws, at a very young age. I like to take him to the different places and help him to explore many of the opportunities we have in the state. It is important to me that I give him all the opportunities that I possibly can and let him experience art and life they way he should,...

...The effects of job and personal resources on hotel employees’ work engagement. Introduction This study developed and tested a research model, which predicted the impacts of job (supervisor support) and personal resources (trait competitiveness and self-efficacy) on work engagement. Purpose and rationale First, empirical evidence in the research stream of work engagement in the tourism and hospitality literature is meager. Second, in contradistinction to other researches our research focused on develoving sub-Saharan African countries, Nigeria not Western countries Third, our study findings ( such as employee retention) can be useful for managers in the hotel industry. Theoretical foundations, hypotheses, and research model * Backround * Work overload to be positively related to hotel managers’ burnout ( Perrewe,1991). Female middle managers in the hotel industry are suspectible to higher levels of burnout than male managers (Buick and Thomas 2001) * Salanova et al. (2005) reported that organizational resources, as manifested by training, autonomy, and technology, were significantly and positively related to work engagement among fronline hotel and restaurant employees. The COR theory and the JD-R model The antecedents of work engagement can be examined using the COR ( Conservation of Resources) and the JD-R (Job Demands-Resources) as the theoretical underpinnings * According to the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, resources are defined...

...family has been supportive of me since birth. As a child I was raised by a single mother along with my older brother and my two older sisters. Although things were difficult at times, my family always cared for me and consistently supported me as I grew older and developed in life. My family has supported me throughout my years of school and studies. They have always encouraged me to do the best I can and to always put as much effort into something as I can. There is no doubt in my mind that my family has always wanted me to succeed, though when I did fail, my family listened to me, took the time to understand how I felt, and then just encouraged me to pick myself back up and to try again. Growing up as the youngest, I was surrounded with support and encouragement from my older siblings. My older sisters spent quality time with me and always swore to protect me. My mother fed and cared for me. She taught me self-respect, self-discipline, and understanding the consequences of my actions while still showing me love every day. My older brother respected me, taught me to drive, and explained to me how to know when a guy was treating me right. My cousins are some of my best friends and have usually encouraged me to do the right thing and always supported me when I needed help. The most important category of people in my life are my family. They have supported and encouraged me every step of my life. When things seem down, they have always been around to help me back up and they are...
