...As my Senior Capstone Service Project, I have chosen to volunteer at Integris Southwest Medical Center. The reason for which I choose the Integris Southwest Medical Center as the place where I will complete my service project is that I strongly believe in their mission statement, “To improve the health of the people and communities we serve.” At many points in my life, I myself have been a patient at Integris, each time volunteers and staff have made the experience as pleasant as possible. I want to aid both the patients and their visitors going through physically and emotionally challenging times, by being helpful and understanding. Through my actions I hope to provide positivity and compassion. I hope to gain a new perspective through the eyes of both the patients and the caregivers.

...management- the glass ceiling at the St. Lucia Fire Service Executive Summary The topic of the glass ceiling has been of great interest in recent years especially in the field of management. The problem is that women demonstrate successful qualities over years and despite the qualities that they possess, the glass ceiling still continue to exist in organizations that are male dominating and find it difficult to break into management. The purpose of this research is to identify the barriers that exists impeding women’s career progression in the fire service and to make recommendations that the St. Lucia Fire Service may implement to increase capacity in senior management level. It is important for women to be part of senior management since women currently make a proportionally larger percentage at the workplace and also because the government has established that in any form of recruitment into the fire service, women should make up twenty percent of the capacity.

By using descriptive research the status of women in the fire service will be presented. A questionnaire was developed and delivered to two hundred fire personnel. An analysis of answers from the questionnaire was analyzed to assess the opinions about the impact of females on promotions to senior management. To continue) Introduction Although...

...capability theory). Specifically, in recent years, as companies have been confronted by the conditions of heightened competition, globalisation, advancements in communications and information technologies, economic recession and simultaneously search for excellence, so the desire to take up change initiatives has interested the majority of leading organisations. At the same time, however, the analysis of the prospects for the majority of change management tools reveals so many deep-seated barriers to change with the consequence of little success in practice. This paper explores this apparent contradiction, arguing that, despite a heightened interest in the take-up of change initiatives, very few change programmes produce an improvement in bottom-line, exceed the company’s cost of capital, or even improve service delivery. It also offers an explanation of why this is the case. To provide empirical verification for this, the paper presents the results of 4 case studies conducted at public sector organisations in the UK. The findings continue to point to the ineffective nature of the top management’s contribution to managing organisational change programmes. Finally, using the case evidence, combined...

...sections is that, during last year’s audit, Rick made a guestimate for the last few aisles of paper. Continuing to make guestimates will fail to prove that the system’s inventory count is correct. Therefore, a material misstatement of inventory could have been overlooked and would continue to be overlooked until a proper count of the sample has been completed. b) Eat time. * The firm has a quality control policy that does not allow eating time. If you were to eat the time against company policy and you continued to work for the firm in the future, you could be putting your own job at risk when the next audit is completed and the firm realizes that you broke company policy. Also, if you were to work without billing the hours it took to complete the audit it may help you to stay within your budget, but it gives the auditing team a false sense of the amount of time that should be budgeted for the inventory count. Therefore, eating time now would cause the firm to fail to charge the client for the proper amount in future audits. c) Ask the senior for more time. * Asking the senior for more time could be a problem if the budget is tight as it is. This may slow the entire audit down and it could reflect badly on the senior if the audit is not completed on time. Also, it may lead the senior to believe that you are inefficient or not qualified for a task as simple as counting paper. This could reflect badly on you during an evaluation causing the firm to not offer you...
