...Training and Mentoring Program xxxxxxxxxxxxx HRM/531 December 5, 2011 Dr. Penny Wilkins Evaluation Ford provides many kinds of training programs to its employees, dealers and suppliers. For successful training programs it is important to see the reaction, transfer and its effect on the employees and company. Six Sigma is a successful training program Ford started in 1999. The first phase of Six Sigma called for customer satisfaction. "In fact, one and a half points of customer satisfaction drive about one point more loyalty. In North America alone, this translates into more than $2 billion in incremental revenue and roughly $100 million in profit." (http://www.qualitydigest.com). The employees gave a good response to this training and earned green belts, black belts, master black belts. Master black belts helped train senior leaders to apply Six Sigma in their departments. This program was such a success that in 2000, it helped to add $52 million to the bottom line of the company. Ford assembly plant in Chicago underwent a new training program accompanied with new tools and machinery, successfully reinvented Ford Explorer 2011. Ford Explorer 2011 is best in class fuel economic, improved driving dynamics and lightweight in design. ‘The reinvented 2011 Ford Explorer has started rolling off the line at Ford’s Chicago Assembly Plant, marking a new beginning for both the historic factory and the iconic SUV (media.ford.com).

...Smythe From: Director of Human Resources Date: April 20, 2011 Subject: Volunteer Program I am writing this memo in response to the email request that you sent me about adding the Center for Non-Violence to our volunteer program. I would like to start off by saying that we here at Dawson & Engels greatly appreciate your input and your interest in expanding our volunteer program to better help the community. However, we are not going to be able to include the program you suggested in our list of company volunteer programs. The reason we cannot include this program is not because of what it currently does, but because of how it’s past may concern certain members of our company. The organization in question has a history of protesting military action in response to political problems. This specific part of the organization's background could offend veterans and the families of soldiers who are currently active. In order to ensure that none of our customers or employees are upset, declining this particular organization seems like the best decision. I understand your reasons for suggesting this organization, because they do a lot of great work with helping to provide conflict resolutions in schools. I have gotten to see how this program works first hand and I agree that it does help out with the vast number of violent outbreaks that are going on in schools. Even though this program could not be added to our company list, I encourage you to help out with the organization...

...and are not attractive to the customer. Kudler has different types of options on how they could advertise the new shoppers program. Because these types of programs are commonplace within any market, Kudler needs to develop a complete database system, with including current and former customers. This database is used specifically for advertising of the new program and data collection of sales. Kudler would need to update or create a new website to add this new program and help customers understand the benefits of registering for the program. Legally Kudler needs to stay within the boundaries set up for E-commerce. The rules for online business and e-mail advertisement are very far-reaching some of which include an opt-out link that allows any consumer to stop receiving e-mail advertisements. This must be easily viewable and verifiable to the recipient for online spam advertisement. Electronic contracts are legal and binding along with electronic signatures, these forms of agreements must have legal disclaimers visible for the customer to read. These are just a few of many other legal ramifications that Kudler would need to investigate and consider before moving forward. Ethical considerations are also vital to both the customers and Kudler Fine Foods when implementing the shoppers program. Any customers who register with Kudler’s shoppers program...

...47306-0155 Sponsored Programs are externally funded activities which fit within the mission Ball State University, and which are carried out under the direction of the faculty or staff members in fulfillment and furtherance of their various roles in the academic community. In the past decade, Ball State University has experienced growth in activities which are categorized as Sponsored Programs, with the potential for additional growth into the future. With growth comes the need for clarity in policies and procedures to be followed in the administration of these activities in order to meet University and sponsor requirements, and to provide the best possible support and service to all parties involved. It is important Sponsored Programs are identified as such and that each award is routed through the appropriate offices to assure that the acceptance and administration of these activities meet both University and sponsor requirements and that various technical, legal, and financial issues be properly addressed. I. ELEMENTS OF A SPONSORED PROGRAM Whether an external funding falls within the definition of a Sponsored Program is determined by the presence of most of the following elements: Commitment from an External Sponsor: A written commitment from the sponsor, which follows receipt and acceptance of a proposal, may take various forms such as a grant agreement, contract, purchase order, or a letter of award, depending on the type of Sponsored Program and sponsor policy.

...The organization that I have chosen to write about throughout this course, I could not find any programs or organizations they sponsor. So for the purpose of this assignment I will just write about the Guardian ad Litem program itself. I could easily give an analysis of this organization based off the six policy elements. This organization is awesome and I would recommend checking it out. The missions, goals, and objectives are great for this organization. The mission statement is: “Advocating for the child’s best interest is the Program’s only purpose. These Program Standards are to be interpreted to support the mission”. (Guardian ad Litem, 2004) This organizations goals & objectives are simple for powerful. This organization is purely to help children in the courts system. They believe that a child should be loved and have safe environment no matter what. The forms of benefits and services delivered are coordinated with the courts. On this org’s website they provide a standard of operations and it explains everything, having to do with benefits and services. Entitlement rules are easy for this org; it is solely for the children in the court system that has no voice. This org speaks for them in the courts when no one else will. This organization has a set of standards they go by for these two policies. Guardian ad Litem depends on many for their funding. According to Guardian ad Litem (2004), “Federal, state and local government agencies, non-profit and faith-based organizations...

...behavior is an ongoing topic of discussion for law enforcement officials and agencies. There are many programs geared toward helping juveniles to cope with their issues and receive the help and treatment needed to be successful in life. In the city of Petersburg, Virginia there is a Firesetters Program. This program addresses the problem of fires set by children. A Juvenile Firesetter is a child typically between the ages of 4 and 14 who exhibits an unusual interest or curiosity in fires, or a child with a history of fire play. This program also seeks to find the reason behind the setting of fires or what triggers the child to set fires. Some reasons could be the divorce of parents, frustration, anger, loneliness, a crisis at home, death, or issues or problems at school ( City of Petersburg, 2015). This program also meets with the parents and the child or children to conduct confidential sessions with the Public Educator or Fire Marshal. An interview is conducted to try to find out how long the problem has existed, the primary reason for it, and the dangers associated with it. An evaluation is done and follow up visits are scheduled for the child. Another diversion program in the state of Virginia is the Community Services Program. This program allows youth to work without pay in a government or non-profit agency and it is an alternative program for active jail time. The youth are required to complete their allotted hours of service and if they...

...Channeling students into a gifted program There is a four step protocol for channeling students into a gifted program. Those steps are; early intervention, identifying students, what the program offers, and what the students will experience. Let’s start with early intervention: Early intervention has the ability to enhance a child’s development, increase the child’s and families benefit to society and receive full support from the staff. Children who come across as gifted are given two tests to determine just how gifted they are. One of those test is based on their academics and the other is based on their creativity. This is way to determine if any intervention needs to put into motion and helps determine just how gifted they are. The second step is identifying just how the students qualify for the program. There is a series of steps that can help determine if a child is gifted. One is a child’s test scores, any child who can score above the 85 percentile can be a candidate for the gifted programs. A teacher nomination is one other way to qualify. Teachers are informed of all students who have received entrances through teacher nominations. Gifted students have to have the ability to excel in their studies, and must remain focused on their school work. The gifted programs can offer full support from their teachers, parental involvement in their education, lessons in self-motivation, grade level advancement, and excellent academic recommendations for future college course...

...1. Is there any evidence that the program pays out for Sainsbury? Elaborate. Sainsbury’s had been losing market share until partnering with Nectar and then became U.K.’s second largest supermarket chain after the first year of using the program. They also discovered weekly spending was 40% greater among people collecting points from several sponsors than only from Sainsbury’s. A study suggested that Sainsbury’s gained market share from non-Nectar retailers through gasoline sales due to the competition between BP and Sainsbury’s with Nectar. Sainsbury’s benefited from the Nectar program by: · Increasing the frequency of customer’s visits and spending more per transaction · Acquiring new customers · Retaining current customers · Up-selling to customers to buy higher margin products While Sainsbury’s was the dominant sponsor, there had been a steady decrease in its importance. In the launch month, four out of five collectors earned points from Sainsbury’s alone. Within six months, half had earned points from a second sponsor and at the anniversary 30% earned from one, 60% from two and 10% from three sponsors. Spending at Sainsbury’s was greater among collectors earning points from multiple sources than from Sainsbury’s alone. Weekly spending at Sainsbury’s was 40% greater when people collected from them and two other sponsors than from Sainsbury’s alone. It also became apparent that collectors who earned points from multiple sponsors...

...Furthermore this was clearly and strongly demonstrated through out the company's evolving history of "giving back to the community since 1989 when Timberland was approached by the urban service corps for young people, City Year. They gladly donated their boots and the CEO even joined for half a day of community service. From there onwards the 50 pairs of donated boots grew to over $10million in support to City Year allowing expansions across the USA and South Africa. Later on in 1992, after years of dedicated work on the program the official Timberland CSR program was formally launched as " Path to Service". Employees are encouraged to participate in this program as soon as they are hired and although participation is voluntary 95% do so and the program is cited as one of the most valuable benefits offered by the company proving that the culture of Timberland is one of "helping hand". By 2008 the program evolved to GREEN and environmentally friendly program where Timberland plans to build 15 community gardens worldwide and continues to work on such initiatives within the environmentally friendly causes. All these actions and plan of actions prove that yes Timberland is to be characterized as a strong giver in the corporate power within society as not only did they start by giving back to the people by...

...requirements to be accepted into the program. Whether it is gender, age, social status, height, weight, or area you live in. All organization has the authority to come up with their eligibility rules. A program must have structure because without it the program would not be successful. There has to be a limitation to how many people a program can help at a time because overcrowding takes attention away from people. The Beachway therapy center only accepts 24 clients at a time. This helps the members to have individual attention, and specifying on their needs. Certain insurances apply. Those listed are Assurant Health, Insurance partners, Humana, Aetna, Cigna, BlueCross BlueShield, and United Healthcare (Beachway, 2010). To see if a person’s insurance is accepted there is a number listed on their website or you can fill out and submit an application and the agency will be sure to contact a person within 24 hours. Among admittance there must be a psychological history given, especially for a patient with a “dual diagnosis”. All the other patients must pass a physical exam from a family doctor and have the results sent to the treatment center prior to being accepted into the program. Due to the type of insurance a client has, there are limitations of the number of visits. Depending on the type of addiction insurance directs them to the proper care.

...Question #1 (4 points with 1/3 max page) Daniels would suggest that an enthusiastic Jones had her motivation extinguished when she was punished (P+) by her boss who chastised her and called her a “whiner” when she brought up the issue of the junction box. Additionally the NIC (Negative, Immediate Uncertain) consequence of being ignored, or criticized as troublemakers further extinguished any future input from line workers, stifling the program as a whole. When participation in the Six Sigma effort (antecedent), requires the raising of ideas (behavior), which is quickly met by a metaphorical spanking (consequence) the program quickly looses it’s traction within the organization (extinction), proven by Jones’s response “I’ll never use your coaching again”. Daniels might also argue that Management might be having a similar effect on Smith, by punishing Jones, Smith is R- supporting his negative feelings about the companies receptiveness of the Six Sigma program (although I believe this is outside of the context of the question) Questions #2 (8 points with 2/3 max page) A: Artifacts: Large parent company pushing its own mandates, obvious and frequently reinforced separation between two competing business units with assumption of a zero-sum organization.
