...Walmart currently employees more that 2 million people worldwide in their more than 10,000 retail stores, strategically located in 27 different countries worldwide (Walmart Inc., 2013). In 2012 the company reported earning well over 400 billion dollars (Walmart Inc., 2013; "Walmart- Refocus," 2006). Here in the third week of the needs assessment being conducted on behalf of our client BJ’s a division of Walmart Inc., the focus surrounds the collection and its analysis. Following the collection of data and a meeting was held with BJ’s management and a recommendation was made based on this analysis. The recommendations made was based on the findings generated from random customer satisfaction survey, selection process for focus groups, identifying and documenting key organizational objectives through questionnaires and surveys, collecting and tabulating responses from returned email questionnaires conducted over a two week period. As the world’s largest retailer, Walmart still faces the potential of not having the relative flexibility to act swiftly in response to changing global markets, fostering a universal company culture in all its locations, addressing the high rates of turnovers, or providing the same level of customer service and productivity globally. Realizing that there are several areas that need to be address using data collected from several source, random customer survey, employee surveys and questionnaire, small focus groups, the data determined the best...

...Mini Paper I am at the midpoint of the completion towards the final project. I have created and provided a survey on Survey Monkey for all employees to participate in. A rating scale for each question was provided that displays the answers to each question, their responses and the rating scales. 5 of the 10 questions had an answer that went from either strongly agreeing to strongly disagreeing. The results were then weighted into a weighted average. At the end of the survey each employee also had an opportunity to provide their thoughts, feedback, and suggestions to the survey. The Survey is entitled Staff Survey. Each staff member was required to take a moment to complete the survey so administrators can get a better understanding of the staff’s thoughts regarding the programs that are being offered, the possible needs of the organization, as well as their overall feelings regarding the work environment and the organization as a whole. The survey consisted of 9 questions with sub-questions. Thirty-four staff members not including the administrative staff participated in the staff-survey. A separate survey for the administration, Board of Directors, parents, and students as well as people in the community will be conducted in separate future assessments. As stated in part two of the project, I am using three methods to assess the needs of the organization. The first completed process is the questionnaire which was given to each staff member that was not administrative...

...Because its been so many years since I’ve attended preschool I chose to write this paper not on my experiences but on my observations of my son’s experience. As the parent of a preschool age child I enjoy watching all the milestones achieved by my children. In this paper I will respond on the developments during my sons two years in preschool. My son began preschool at the age of 3. His physical development made huge strides during preschool, especially his gross motor skills. Gross motor skills involve the large muscles used in locomotion.(pg. 195 Rathus, S. A. (2013). At the age of 3 he could barely ride a tricycle or bounce a basketball. By the age of 4 he learned to ride a bicycle with no training wheels and joined a basketball team which he excelled at. Compared to his classmates he was the only child who could ride a bicycle with no training wheels. According to the text some children are genetically predisposed to developing better coordination or more strength. Motivation and practice also are important. I can say a leading reason for this development came from the fact that when he was close to 4 years old my husband was laid off of work. They spent 3 days a week playing ball together and practicing riding his bike. Coupled with the fact that my my son has always been an athletic child his achievements came easier to him. According to Piaget the preoperational stage of cognitive development lasts from about age 2 to age 7. Operations are mental manipulations of information...
