It should include a section on how the supervisor should or should not handle certain gender-based workplace issues. For example, can the supervisor hand out work assignments that he or she feels are better suited to different genders? Can he or she write a job requirement that only one gender can meet, such as a strength requirement?This section of the manual must, at a minimum, address the following information: * A few general facts about the U.S. population's gender mix and the gender mix found in notable segments of the workforce should be included. Make sure to include all sources of information. * The essence and applicability of the landmark Griggs v.

...not very frequent in contemporary literature. In fact, there are almost no relevant attempts to examine these phenomena. Nevertheless, after democratic political changes in May 1991, we can observe a growing interest in understanding national culture and leadership practices in Ethiopian organizations, as well as in the whole Ethiopian society. Therefore, the main purpose of this assignment paper is to investigate the influence of national culture on organizational culture and practices (subcultures and leadership styles) in Ethiopian organizations. Widely known Geert Hofstede’s value/belief theory of culture (Hofstede, 2001) with its theoretical and methodological premises has been used as a starting point of this assignment. 1 2. 2.1. LITRATURE REVIEW DEFINITION OF CULTURE We must first define and agree on what Culture is before we can deal with cross culture. Like many other behavioral science terms like Leadership, there are many different definitions of culture used in management today. The famous Dutch behavioral scientist, Geert Hofstede defined culture “as the collective mental programming of a people in an environment". These mental programming consists of values, attitudes,...

...Managing change and diversity at EasiYo FROM A MANUFACTURING base in Auckland, EasiYo enables over a million homes in New Zealand, Australia, the UK, Italy and China to enjoy fresh yoghurt every day of the year. It supports home production through the supply of powdered bases and culture and a plastic incubator in which the yoghurt ferments. Paul O'Brien joined the company as CEO in December 2009 and has overseen sales growth of around 30 per cent a year, on the way to a target of sales in excess of $50 million to 20 plus countries. It is part of the New Zealand success in dairy products but for EasiYo business growth has also been about managing the transition from humble beginnings into a multinational enterprise with a product that relies on strict compliance to high standards of food quality and safety. EasiYo started in the early 1990s as a husband and wife team working from their garage. The business succeeded through research and development, firstly into yoghurt making, then finding the right milk powder and freeze-dried culture to ensure 100 per cent setting of the incubated yoghurt at home. Partnership with the Westland Dairy Company, who purchased the company outright soon after Paul O'Brien took charge, gave EasiYo R&D capacity. Recent growth has been based on marrying corporate management with the strengths inherited from the original family business. Paul joined a company that had grown rapidly with NZ$25 million sales, three...

...TRAINING TRAINING NEEDS ANALYSIS PLANNING THE TRAINING DEVELOPMENT AND DELIVERY EVALUATION OF TRAINING Definition Training is the use of systematic and planned instruction activities to promote learning. Training has a complementary role to play in accelerating learning. ‘It should be reserved for situations that justify a more directed, expert-led approach rather than viewing it as a comprehensive and all-pervasive people development solution’. (Reynolds 2004) Why training? • Introduce a new process or new equipment • Improve the efficiency of the workforce • Provide training for the unskilled workers • Decrease the supervision needed • Improve the opportunity for internal promotion • Decrease the chances of accidents • Increased job satisfaction and morale among employees • Increases employee motivation • Increases efficiencies in processes • Reduced employees turnover • Enhanced company image Justification for training Training can be justified when: • The work requires skills that are best developed by formal instruction • Different skills are required by a number of people • The tasks to be carried out are so specialized or complex that people are unlikely to master them on their own initiative at a reasonable speed • Critical information must be imparted to employees to ensure they meet their responsibilities ...

...The Role of Human Resources in the Efforts to Prevent Discrimination and to Increase Diversity Nuttha Udhayanang PA 741, Spring 2015 West Virginia University We are proceeding toward a world in which barriers of countries and cultures are shrinking due to globalizes in economics and advances in technology. This phenomenon creates an even more competitive world. Capital and physical resources alone could no longer improve efficiency of organizations. Together with the current demographic trend within the United States, I believe that employing diversified workforce is a very essence for every organization. The organizations that employ quality and competitive workforce regardless of their age, attitude, language, and religion can become competitive in the current situation. Human Resource is an important asset in increasing and managing diversity, and preventing discrimination among workforce of any organization. Workforce diversity can be defined as “similarities and difference among employees in terms of age, culture background, physical abilities and disabilities, race religion, gender, and sexual orientation” (Saxena, 2014). It cannot be denied that diversity makes the workforce heterogeneous and is beneficial to any organizations. It can increase workers retention and productivity, as diversity improves interpersonal relationship within the organizations. It can also enhance the organizations’ responsiveness to an increasingly diverse world of customers, improving relations...

...Spirituality in Counseling Integrating Religion and Spirituality In Counseling Anntoni Leonard University of the Cumberlands COUN 636 Abstract Religion and spirituality are arguably among the most important factors which structure human experience, beliefs, values and behavior. Religion and spirituality are clearly important to most Americans; however, most counselors have little or no training in dealing with religious and spiritual issues. Since the mid-1990’s, the integration of spirituality and religion into therapeutic sessions has generated much interest as an area that needs to be addressed with regards to diversity in clients. This paper will address the inclusion of religion and spirituality in client’s session and counselor’s attitudes toward a client’s faith based on the assumption that the client’s faith and the counselor’s attitude can have significant impact on the outcome of the treatment of the client. A counselor’s willingness to attend to faith as a means of growth can build rapport and lessen potential resistance with clients who are religious (Worthington, 1989). Spirituality in Counseling: Integrating Religion and Spirituality Spirituality has become increasingly important in counseling and prayer has become the spiritual intervention of choice for Christian counselors, as well as secular counselors. The controversial nature of including prayer in counseling requires much consideration on the grounds of ethical boundaries. Majority of mental health...
