Questions in reference to teaching while working full-time in the fire service: 1) Has teaching improved your “on the job” performance in the fire service or vice versa, and if so in what ways has it done so? “Teaching has both hurt me and helped me in the fire service. I have to keep up with the latest trends in the fire service. This is an advantage to most people as the fire service because it is reared that most crews keep up with current trends. Unfortunately, officers like there (old School)
The environmental variation now and then shifted the roles of Human Resources vis-à-vis the working patterns in current business world. For example, the growth of female labour in workforce, the organizational changes to new flexible form, the enforcement and further amendment of Employment Act 2002 in flexible working, the arising awareness of work-life balance for working healthy, and so on (McOrmond, 2004; Honeyball, 2008; Redman and Wilkinson, 2009; Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service
this interest? Flexible working simple refers to any working schedule that is outside of a normal working pattern. This means that the working hours, instead of being repetitive and fixed, can involve changes and variations. It can mean the employee has variables such as when they are required to work or even their place of work. There are some example for flexible working, there are, flexi time, compressed hours, annual hours, staggered hours and job sharing. Flex time arrangement requires an employee
flexible working arrangements in an organisation. Evidence from the previous study indicated that the competitive working environment and increasing workload had caused family and personal life being neglected (Mary & Chris, 1998). Smith (1993) pointed out that working women should have balance between tasks in the office and responsibility to the family especially on safety, health and children needs. Therefore, Cook (1992) suggested that through the implementation of flexible working hour’s schedule
Working Time Implementation The Working Time Regulations 1998 consider working time as a health and safety matter than an employment rights matter. All European member states including the United Kingdom follow the regulations as before in the UK there was no universal legislation which dealt with working time and holidays. The regulations are part of the domestic employment law after being implemented 2 years after originally planned. Case: United Kingdom v Council of the European Union (1997)
According to a study conducted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, Americans are working longer than ever before. The OECD’s results clearly showed that Americans aged fifteen to sixty-four worked fifty percent more than the French, Germans, and Italians (Prescott 2). This inequality in work hours has been around for decades and is only becoming more noticeable as time rolls on. Many questions and arguments exist debating what should be done to correct the issue. Because American
Men and women are working harder than ever to survive in today's tough economy. It's a big challenge for low and middle class families to survive. To meet growing demands, it's getting difficult for families to depend on one income. To contribute to family income, mothers are coming forward and joining the workforce. Working mothers are the one who takes care of the family and work outside the home. They may be a single mothers or married mothers. Working mothers usually work to support their family
Working women with families are often lead to inhabit several different lives all at once. In article “The Second Shift,” Arlie Hochschild discusses how women who have families and work are often subjected to having to stay a full time housewife along with their job, creating basically two sets of work, as the author calls it, the Second Shift. I think that the authors’s style of using many studies and examples helps to strengthen his points. Although he doesn’t directly express his opinion of the
business executives are “working 51 hours or more a week. . . this likely doesn’t include them doing e-mails at home, answering BlackBerrys at family events, etc.” (Staff). The adverse effects of working overly long work hours can be detrimental to both their mental and physical health. The thematic connection between two of the articles that are found in the stimulus material “A World Without Work” and “Long Working Hours and Cancer Risk: a Multi-Cohort Study” is that working can affect one’s health
work and life with doing work-related activities such as reading professional literature or planning future work outside of working time. Compensation as an opposite pattern, occurred when people hold negative attitude towards their job, draw a clear boundary and would look forward to doing things they like to compensate the painful experience they have suffered in working. Parker (1982) identified neutrality as when people were neither excited or disliked their work, they just treated work as a
overworked and recognize the need for reduced job hours, but are addicted to spending money, he said. Michael said he has difficulty juggling his high-pressure job with a personal life, yet still insists on creating time for his family and friends. “There should always be time to try to relax and cool off after tough days, and I consider it imperative to do so,” he said. He said that people need to recognize that work correlates with their family and friends, and it is important to balance

However, he did get something out of all that time at work, he was the vice president of the company he worked for. In his mind he was a hard workingman, but in reality he was a workaholic. What is Workaholism? Many people don’t consider work addiction as a problem, and they confuse it with hard working. The meaning of Workaholism is when a person

sleep for someone who works 12 hours. Nurses in the past and today have been working 12 hour shifts or more, which shouldn’t be a big deal now than it actually seems. I think 12 hour shifts are a productive way for more nurses to connect with patients and complete their work effectively. Therefore, nurses should have the right to want to work for 12 hour shifts despite the negative outcomes. Nurses who worked for a longer time and for 12 hour shifts do find it effective as well as a better balance with
occurred as a result of viewing a certain piece of art at the San Jose Museum of Art. This piece of art piece labeled Fallen Fruit by David Burns and Austin Young was the awe and inspiration for my topic of this paper. The piece made me think of working conditions and how far they have improved in the past century. The digital print coldly depicts assembly line workers packaging fruits for a company. The print displays the average worker in monochrome while the environment juxtaposes the workers
In the past two decades, a lot of changes have been characterised in the healthcare working systems. One of these changes has been the assimilation of shift work systems and the flexibility in work schedules. The need for 24 hour care makes the healthcare professions to work with different shift systems such as 12 h, 8 h, 9 h or 10 hour shifts. However, the common shift work systems divide a 24-h day in two (12-h) or three (8-h) shifts. Nonetheless, this requires the staff to be adapted with the
Oh to be a kid again, I remember elementary school like it was yesterday. Playing tag, four-square, hop scotch and tackle football. What…..a girl playing tackle football! I know, I know that is a little unorthodox, but I was the best defensive end St. Francis Cabrini had that year, way back in 1982. Things have changed since then, some games are no longer allowed to be played because of injuries, like tag or tackle football, and other games are considered bullying, like dodge ball. These are
