As a frontline worker caring for people with developmental disabilities, I have noticed that great care is taken with the administration of clients’ medication in all of the agencies I have worked. These agencies strive to ensure that clients receive the proper medication and dosages on the right schedules, as failure of either of these can lead to death or some other negative health outcome for the client. There are harsh consequences for the staff responsible for such error, and, if such errors are rampant, it can lead to revocation of the agency’s license.
The reexamination should start with a formal look at the SSI assessment center results and recommendations. The evaluation should review all of SSI’s results to determine the reliability (Heneman, Judge, & Kammeyer-Mueller, 2015, pp. 327-335) and validity of each (Heneman, Judge, & Kammeyer-Mueller, 2015, pp. 336-348). Mandy should take the information shared by her brother-in-law as the leading factors in the evaluation of the SSI results. Furthermore, interviews with the candidates that went through the program should be conducted to obtain details of the assessment process and their perspectives of the assessment. This will give an inside look into how the assessment is handled and the candidates takeaways from it. Mandy should consult with SSI on their process of evaluations in the assessment center, and request a written report of the complete process from start to
Workforce diversity refers to the existence of individuals with different cultural, economic and social backgrounds within an organization (Claretha, 2014). In the modern world, there is increased level of diversity in the workforce due to increased level of awareness and socioeconomic interactions among people. Therefore, organizations have become multicultural places which require effective communication to ensure organizational success. That is, in the modern global community, the workplaces in various organizations have become more culturally diverse (Claretha, 2014). This has had serious impact on the personal and professional relationships among employees depending on the communication model that is established in an organization. In addition, due to the increased level of competitiveness in the business environment, organizations have been forced to establish suitable framework to effectively manage human diversity. This paper will analyze the concept of workforce diversity and organizational communication and determine its benefits and possible disadvantages in relation to business success.
The employer or the management is tasked with the role of developing solutions for these issues. Not only for the organization, but also for the employees or the affected individual.

One approach to decision making for two groups that have competing agenda’s is to form a partnership council. For the past two years, I have been facilitating the Labor Management Partnership Council. Using techniques like brainstorming, nominal group technique, and muli-group technique, which are all facilitation tools used to help the group form a decision. The partnership council is where union representatives headed by the Union President, and management representatives headed by the Chief Negotiator have formed a council. This council has a goal of discussing and resolving issues that affect the interest of both the union and management, heading off any grievances before they are made. When organizational policies are being written,

With the current change in demographics throughout the workforce, organizations are feeling the effects of a larger percentage of baby boomers retiring and a large percentage of millennial new entrants. The words used to describe millennial employees, “spoiled, trophy kids, ambitious”, seem to be as everlasting as the constructive and negative perspectives attached to them. Many can debate on the entitlement of these employees within an organization, how these employees can be groomed and managed to better fit the organization, the positive and negative attributes they bring into the workplace, and how the preceding can benefit or derail the effectiveness of an organization. Nonetheless, a harder debate, comes about in denying that organizations must adjust to and integrate these employees into the workforce.
The field of human services is a complex and encompassing profession, which focuses on the well being of individuals and groups. While there are a number of components that fall into the duties and sphere of influence of a helper, there are generally three main “functions”: social care, social control, and rehabilitation (Woodside & McClam, 2015, p. 9). Social care refers to assisting individuals who are unable to care for themselves (Woodside & McClam, 2015, p. 9). Social control refers to providing assistance to individuals who can care for themselves, but have been unsuccessful in doing so or have done so in a way that defies generally accepted social norms or community laws (Woodside & McClam, 2015, p. 9). Lastly, rehabilitation refers
The focus of this paper is to elaborate on the changing landscape of work in America during the twenty-first century. According to the researchers, as the economy continues to slowly recover from the recession and economic crisis, more of our baby boomers are reentering the workforce. In addition to the introduction of automation and computer technologies into the workplace, this has dramatically changed the nature of jobs for the older workers (Czaja and Sharit 2009). As stated in the Government Accountability Office in 2006, the number of workers over age 55 is projected to increase significantly over the next 20 years. Evidence shows that ageism, stereotypes, and misinformation about our older population continue to be major issues across
The qualities that make individuals different from (unique characteristics or various cultural groups) or similar to others is diversity(Meeting The Challenge of Diversity, 2005).

Today’s management in the workforce is composed of all types of people verses thirty years ago when white males held a majority of upper-management positions in companies. These positions are now held by a mixture of ethnic back grounds and women who hold just as many if not more management positions then men. Just by looking at the changes in management demographics shows how important it is for people to understand cultural competency in the workplace. Dr. Roosevelt Thomas Jr. (1999) stated, “Diversity is the collective mixture of whomever we have in our workforce characterized by their differences and similarities” (p.11). Managers and supervisors must understand the characteristics of a diversity mature individual; they also need to be able to articulate the differences between affirmative action, managing diversity, understanding and valuing diversity to build skills that transforms awareness into productive and supportive workplace behaviors.
Obtaining the position of human resource director for an organization that has not had a structured and directive human resources department has various challenges. It is likely that as XYZ Company has grown from a small software development firm they have neglected one of their most important aspects of business that contributes to the success of the organization: their employment practices. Employees and employment practices have evolved over the years and the personnel departments that we once relied on mainly for the hiring and firing processes have evolved to meet the expectations and demands of State and Federal laws and regulations, the work force, and organizational strategies that the company has adopted in order to remain competitive and successful in the marketplace. The processes and procedures that now need to be observed by the “personnel department” requires greater knowledge, skills, and abilities regarding laws and regulations, current and potential employee needs and demands, and has paved the way for the transformation of the human resources professional to become an integral member of the management team in an organization.
