The skin also serves as the sensory receptor for pain and pleasurable sensations from pressure and temperature and, when we are exposed to sunlight, our integumentary system also generates necessary vitamin D. (Sanders, 2007) The integumentary system makes up around seven percent of a human being’s total body weight and is composed of the skin, skin derivatives, glands, hair and nails. (Graaff, 2001 ) How Skin cells are formed: The human skin is composed of several layers. The surface layer, or the one you can see, is the epidermis.

...HISTORICAL EVOLUTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES AND HR MANAGEMENT. BENSON MWENDWA WAMBUA KENYATTA UNIVERSITY D241/OL/CTY/7935/2014 BBA 032: FUNDAMENTALS OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Abstract Introduction Human Resource Management is a business function, which manages, leads, facilitates and provides tools for the human capital management in the organization. HR sets strategic processes and procedures, runs difficult and complex communication campaigns as the organization attracts the best talents from the job market, retains them with the attractive compensation packages or it develops them in talent development programs. HR runs many processes, which are crucial for the modern organization. We cannot believe that the successful business could exist without the Recruitment and Staffing, Compensation and Benefits, Training and Development or the Leadership Development. However, in the past the companies did not use any of the HR value added processes. The story of Human Resources started as evidence of all employees. It dealt with issues and requests. Nothing more was expected to be delivered. The HR Management history is fascinating. The wars usually change the path of Human Resources in organizations and society.

The history of the modern Human Resources Management is not a deviation from this general rule of the human history. However...

Twenty years ago there was little understanding for and knowledge about the functional conditions for the human resources of working life, but today HRM is in focus. Companies find themselves increasingly up against the wall if they are not managing human resources in a professional way. The majority of operations costs are staff costs, which itself is an argument for taking interest in using human resources more effectively Orientation: What is Orientation? ‘‘Employee orientation refers to the process of introducing the new employee to their jobs, co-workers and work environment.’’ (Gary Dessler) OR ‘‘Employee orientation can also be defined as the process of receiving and welcoming new Employees when they first join the company.” (Gary dessler) ‘‘Orientation is the introduction of new employees to the organization, their work units and their...

...Introduction to Business Management and Organizational Behaviour Organizational Behaviour - Change Organizational Behaviour – Change Introduction Change affects us all in different ways. The reality today is that managing change and coping with change is a never-ending process that can be complex and stressful. Constant change is commonplace in the modern workplace. Specific factors driving change include changes in the work itself, structural and organizational design alterations, shift to the global economy, and increased diversity. There is often resistance to change in organizations. This is usually traced to some combination of individual, group, or organizational characteristics, including the design structure of the organization, changing systems and programs, changing organizational policies, and the organizational culture. Organizations need to remain compatible with their external environments. However, the environments in which organizations operate are constantly changing, so they must recognize the shifts and respond accordingly in order to survive and remain effective. Successful organizations monitor their environment and take appropriate steps to maintain a compatibility with the new external conditions. Given the increasing amount of change that organizations experience, it is critical that all employees learn strategies to manage change and cope with change. Rather than resisting change, employees and successful organizations embrace change...

...Running Head: Bob Knowlton Case Study Bob Knowlton Case Study Introduction The Bob Knowlton case highlights various challenges faced by contemporary organizations, indicating the need for organizations to adopt appropriate strategies that would create favorable work environments and promote harmonious relations among the workforce. The management level of any organization plays a leading role in ensuring that organizations operate effectively.

On the other hand, weak leadership is likely to create undesired outcomes in the workplace. Such developments may lead to increased burnout and dissatisfaction, which reduce employees’ morale. As a result, such organizations are likely to report increased turnover rates and high costs involved in hiring and training new employees. In the Bob Knowlton case, various issues are evidently undermining the performance of the organization.
