...Integration Issues Social integration at work can only be influenced to a small degree. The formation of cliques and exclusive social groups is a natural process that can be impossible to control at times. Because of this, companies can experience informal divisions in their staff, creating a situation where culturally diverse employees avoid exposure to each other during break times and after work. Although there is nothing fundamentally wrong with this scenario, it can hinder the effectiveness of sharing knowledge, skills and experience, thus curbing productivity growth and the effectiveness of teams. Diverse Experience Co-workers with diverse cultural backgrounds bring unique experiences and perceptions to the table in groups and work teams. Pooling the diverse knowledge and skills of culturally distinct workers together can benefit companies by strengthening teams' productivity and responsiveness to changing conditions. Each employee in a diverse workplace possesses unique strengths and weaknesses derived from their culture in addition to their individuality. When managed properly, diversity in the workplace can leverage the strengths and complement the weaknesses of each worker to make the impact of the workforce greater than the sum of its parts. Recommended diversity in the workplace solutions include: Ward off change resistance with inclusion. - Involve every employee possible in formulating and executing diversity initiatives in your workplace.

What about bringing them to a chocolate-‐snorting bar? Dominique Persoone, a Belgian chocolatier, has created a device for chocolate-‐sniffing, which is a powder catapult that launches small bumps of cocoa powder mixed with mint and either ginger or raspberry to user’s nostrils. People who are extremely obsessed with chocolate may find it as good news to have found another way to indulge their love for chocolate. As Persoone said, “Life is boring, let’s have fun.” However, health concerns remains an issue here since the safety of snorting cocoa powder hasn’t been scientifically proved. There is no research at present that tests the possible effects on nose or lungs caused by snorting chocolate....

The act contains insurance reform provisions and introduces the establishment of a fraud and abuse control program when rendering medical care to Medicare patients. In 2000, regulations were established to protect the privacy of personal health information maintained by health care providers, health plans, hospitals, health care clearinghouses, and health insurers. These regulations became effective in 2003 (2004 for small health plans). Violators of HIPAA may be subjected to fines, prison, or both. HIPAA is organized into three parts: • Privacy regulations. HIPAA regulations guide health care providers with overall privacy measures, such as turning the charts toward the wall and making sure the computer screen is not visible. Five forms are required (privacy notice, acknowledgment, authorization, business associate agreement, and trading partner agreement). • Transaction standards. Requirements must be followed when putting the office software into HIPAA compliance. • Security regulations. HIPAA requires health care providers to keep computers safe. The first two parts had 2003 deadlines for compliance and the third part has a 2005 deadline. To adhere to the HIPAA regulations, a medical practice must have an appointed privacy official draft privacy policies and procedures, and implement a...
