...Evaluate how managing resources and controlling budget costs can improve the performance of a business Unit 2 D1 It is very important for Dominos to manage their resources and control their budgets as the business is very large and has a number of chains in the UK. They also have a very good reputation and are also a highly profitable business. They need to keep track as on their financial progress and situation. As well as this keeping organized and in a formal structure allows the company to run smoothly and without major problems. There are four main types of resources that need to be managed; physical resources, human resources, technological resources, and financial resources. There are many types of physical resources in Dominos stores, and these are mainly the equipment and tools that are used to make the products they sell. Each member of staff should manage the equipment by regularly cleaning the equipment and the managers should be performing regular checks to make sure the equipment is fully functioning, and if not to fix the problem themselves or call in maintenance to fix the problems for them. For example, if a oven is not kept clean then it can have a build-up of dirt, rust, and decay, which would then mean that a replacement is needed. This will cost Dominos money and so by managing their physical resources it will not cost Dominos their profit, and increase the businesses performance. This means that it is important for Dominos employees to have sufficient...

Its very normal that you will meet professionals,who might don't respect several laws towards an client/patient.Discrimination towards and patient or client can cause that their self-esteem reduce. It is our power to reduce this action and talk to collegues,which might discriminate an client or patient.An example you can challenge the wrong behaviour could be to talk very calm to the worker and make sure that the attitude he/she used towards the client/patient was wrong.There are two ways to overcome the barries.If the worker refuse that she/he wasn't discriminate the service user ,you as an colleague must tell calm what you saw and how he might can do it better next time ,so it might don't look like she/he is discriminating the client/patient.The calm way could be ,If she/he understood the message ,which was given by you they might reply by try to do it better the next time or even by an apologise towards the...

Conception is when the ovary must have released an egg, this is then drawn down the fallopian tube towards the uterus. This usually occurs halfway through the menstrual cycle. In the process of these, the lining of the womb is preparing for the occurrence of a pregnancy and thickens its lining by increasing blood flow to the thinning blood mucus to allow sperm to enter. During sexual Intercourse, between a man and a woman sperm is ejaculated into the vagina. Once the sperm enters the uterus, it tries to find the egg which is at the lower end of the fallopian tube. Male semen contains several million sperm, but only one will be needed for conception, and that single sperm cell contains the father's genetic contribution to the baby. Each sperm contains 23 chromosomes and each egg contains 23 chromosomes. The sperm can swim, and need to be able to do so as they have to move through the cervix, into the uterus and along the fallopian tubes. During sexual intercourse millions of sperm are ejaculated by a man. The sperm swims through the uterus and fertilizes...

...Unit 2 – Equality, Diversity and Rights within Health and Social Care P4 For this task, I am going to explain how two national initiatives promote anti-discriminatory practice. Sex discrimination act 1975 This act applies for both men and women. It promotes that both men and women should be treated equally. For example, in transport, education, jobs etc. It promotes anti-discriminatory practice by making sure those men and women are treated equally, if this act applies didn’t exist, men and women may be deprived of certain choices. This act includes any discrimination against homosexual marriages or civil partnerships, any discrimination against pregnant women and maternity leave, also about equal pay for both men and women. Disability discrimination act 2005 This act applies to anyone that has some sort of disability. This act is in place to protect disabled people against discrimination both in employment and when using a service or facility. For example, anyone with a disability should have the same opportunities in work or learning places such as school, colleges or universities. In other places such as shops and banks, and to also make sure that they are treated fairly when they go somewhere to eat or drink, such as restaurants or pubs. Public transport services have to make sure trains; buses, etc. are accessible and have the right facilities for anyone with a disability. “The government has implemented the legislation in three phases.

Mental capacity act 2005: this act helps to protect people who are unable to makes decision, example of this is people with dementia, learning difficulties and mental problem. This act ensures that that people with mental capacity get treated fairly and in their best interest. It promotes anti discriminatory practice making sure that someone with the disability to learn can get the same choices as any other person would. Disability discrimination act 2005 this act helps to stop discrimination which is aimed at the disabled example of this is when a disabled person is unable to go to a certain place or school because there isn't access for a disabled person example there's not lift or ramp in the building. This act makes it illegal to do things like that without a justified reason. Disability is not only physical, there other type of disability such as mental disability which is under the disability act but only if the mental illness affect the person's everyday life.

...care to individuals, groups or communities or bringing their professional knowledge to light on nursing and midwifery practice in other roles, like education, leadership or research. While the values and principles set out in the Code can be interpreted in a range of different practice settings, they are not negotiable or discretionary. Within many of the sections, the codes of practice, link in well within equality and diversity within health and social care. Section 1, 1.1 working in person centred ways and using this as the basis for social care and support, this is positive as it is focusing on how health and social care workers should do to ensure that the service user is being provided the right support for their situation. Section 2, 2.1 being honest and trustworthy, this is a major positive in equality and diversity as it means care staff are able to make every individual trust them and not just try and earn the trust of certain people discriminating against others by not caring whether or not their patient trusts them or not. Being honest with your service users is vital and a very positive attribute to have. Section 3, 3.7 using relevant processes and procedures to challenge and report dangerous, abusive, discriminatory and exploitative behaviour and practice, this is a very positive part of the code as it is saying that when discrimination is happening then the care workers should be educated enough to be able to see when a service user isn’t being treated equally...

...D1: Evaluate How Managing Resources and Controlling Budgets Can Improve the Performance of Asda. It’s important for Asda to manage all its resources and control its budgets so that they can be successful. Managing resources and budgets gives Asda more structure and allow Asda to be more stable which can lead to a high performance and success. If resources and budgets are not controlled then problems could occur for Asda, which then could lead to bad performance and failure. Managing the human resources can help to build more reliable and hardworking employees. If they can manage their human resources the right way it can lead to highly motivated and skilled staff and can defiantly improve performance. E.g. at Asda it’s important to provide staff with incentives so that they feel their work is being valued and they will want to work harder to achieve targets, Asda have to treat their staff right because if they feel like they are being harshly treated then they will take out their feelings on the customers and then Asda will lose custom from that store, also they give employees pride to work for the company. I believe that if the management of the human resources department is done in the right way then it can be an important factor for what success a business will have. If the staff are well trained and looked after, they will provide better customer service which will bring more customers there so they will make more money but just doing that one task is nit enough, staff will...
