...Office Stress: His vs. Hers Chronic Tension Hurts Mental Clarity; For Women, a 'Tend and Befriend' Response * By LAUREN WEBER AND SUE SHELLENBARGER Too much work, too little money and not enough opportunity for growth are stressing us out on the job, according to a new survey from the American Psychological Association. One-third of employees experience chronic stress related to work, the survey found. Women report higher levels of work stress than men, as well as a gnawing sense that they are underappreciated and underpaid. Fifty-four percent of the 1,501 employed adults surveyed say they feel they are paid too little for their contributions, and 61% said their jobs don't offer adequate opportunities to advance. Only half of the adults polled said they feel valued at work. A new survey from the American Psychological Association reveals troubling findings about stress in the American workplace. WSJ's Lauren Weber and the American Psychological Association's David Ballard join Lunch Break to discuss. Photo: AP. Women feel especially stuck and tense, the association survey indicates. Thirty-two percent of women said their employers don't provide sufficient opportunities for internal advancement, compared with 30% of men. Women are more likely to feel tense during a typical workday, reporting more often that their employer doesn't appreciate what they do. The annual survey, conducted in January and released Tuesday, found the proportion of chronically stressed...

...Case Study 1 | Strategies for security in High-Rise Residential Buildings When living in a high-rise, residents have a reasonable expectation of safety and security. As a contractor charged with the construction of such a building, there are many facets of security that must be taken into consideration before design and construction can begin. As a contractor, there is a certain responsibility to account for any risks that already exist, as well as risks that may exist in the future. Security is often used as a selling point for potential buyers, so the overall success of the project can depend on how well the security portion is implemented. According to Chris Grniet, regional managing director for Guidepost’s Technology/Design Consulting team, “What’s secure and what isn’t for residential properties tends to wax and wane with the perception of general security and safety in the overall environment.” (Garris, 2013) Residents will feel more comfortable, and will be willing to spend more if they feel secure in their living environment. “When establishing the right mix of comfort and security, the trick is to incorporate security measures without making them completely obvious. It’s not about being stealth, but about providing a safe environment that feels like home. “ (Garris, 2013) Security should not interfere with the daily lives or residents, but should be non-invasive and convenient. “In order to make them feel secure, contractors must keep in mind the existing environmental...

Retrieved from heapol.oxford journals.org/content/15/3/239.full.pdf+html on 06/13/14 This journal engages the stakeholder analysis to generate knowledge about relevant actors so as to understand their behaviors, intentions, interrelation, agendas, interests, and the influence or resources they have brought or could bring to bear on decision making processes. Dhir, S. Krishna. (2007). Stakeholder activism through nonviolence. Corporate Communications. An International Journal, Vol. 12(1), pg.75 – 93. Dhir is of the accounting faculty, Berry College, Georgia, Atlanta. The journal examined at length the furor of activists at the Niger Delta region of Nigeria, West Africa. These are people whose land had been taken forcefully by the government of the land without adequate compensation and development of the areas involved. Worst still is the non-chalant attitude of the officials of the companies drilling oil rings on the land towards the natives. The officials have what it takes to decide to treat the natives well but they refused because they did not see them as stakeholders but events that followed showed that they paid dearly for it.

The PPACA ensures access to affordable health care with a focus on cost containment and enforcing quality of care for those who seek services. According to a Congressional Budget Office budget report the PPACA will cost tax payers an estimated $900 billion and provide coverage for more than 94% of the population who is eligible for services. The PPACA addresses several key areas quality, affordable health care, public programs, improvement to quality and efficiency, prevention, public health improvement, workforce, transparency and integrity, access to innovative therapies, community support services, and revenue provisions (Democratic Policy and Communication Center, n.d.). These areas will affect millions of individuals at some level when accessing health care. The accessibility to quality health care will benefit those individuals who presently cannot obtain health insurance or afford some type of health care coverage. Coverage alone does not make for a healthy nation and help to contain cost. The PPACA addresses the need for prevention and improvement in health care and public health. Title IV: Prevention of Chronic Disease and Improving Public Health addresses some of these needs. Health care professionals can the nation understand how certain diseases can be prevented and...
