...While most documentary films embrace a view that examines a person more or less from a biographical point of view, Robert Epstein and Richard Schiechen's documentary about the first openly gay elected official in the United States takes a somewhat different approach. The subject of the film, Harvey Milk, was elected to the San Francisco board of city supervisors in 1977, and proceeded to champion for the rights not only of homosexuals, but of underprivileged people in general, gaining popularity by appealing to minorities and working class folks. The story of Milk is one that demonstrates the power of the U.S. election system, one that serves the interest of the public when utilized to its fullest, and ultimately proves that anything is possible through perseverance and determination. Milk's story is truly fascinating. This openly gay man from New York state moved to San Francisco in the 1960s, becoming a figure in the counterculture and peace movements before expressing an interest in public office. While the majority of the public did not agree with some of his more outspoken views on the rights of gays and lesbians, Milk succeeded in winning over large portions of the public through his crusades for better representation in local government, interest in the livelihoods of average people, and dedication toward causes that he believed were in the best interest of all. In examining the legacy left behind by this pioneer of civil rights, Epstein and Schiechen's film...

...enjoy the convenience of viewing jobs before they are open to external applicants (with the exception of referrals). Hines has an intranet which only current employees have access to. On the Human Resources page, there is a link for Internal Job Postings. Here, employees can view job postings in the North American region of the company. When an employee applies for an open position, it is a simple process. They must fill out a quick query form and attach their resume. The most difficult or nerve wrecking aspect of the internal application process is that employees are required to inform their immediate supervisor that they are applying for the position. Of course this is required not only as a courtesy but also because the Human Resources Department will call the applicant’s supervisor for a reference. By requiring an employee to inform their supervisor from the beginning, the supervisor is not blindsided by a transfer or by a call from HR regarding the applicant. However, at the same token, this may deter applicants from applying for positions because they are afraid of repercussions that may arise for wanting to transfer to another position/office. If an employee is referring an external applicant, then the process is even simpler. There is a short query to complete with a resume attachment. Within a couple days of applying on line, the internal applicant will receive an email from HR asking for a time to meet for a phone interview. In the phone interview, the HR representative simply...

...Two Business on our doorstep – Continued P3 and P4 I will carry on looking at the 2 businesses; Asda and RSPCA. I will be describing the business organisation, an explanation of the style of the organisation within the business and how it helps them to fulfil their purpose. An organisational structure enables a business to meet their purposes, it divides up the work and establishes lines of control and community. Dividing up work allows a clear understanding of who is doing what. The organisational structure is often a chain of command or line of control and sets out important aspects of how communication takes place. The organisational structure controls organisational activities to avoid conflict and individuals making decisions. The structure depends on the organisations objectives, purpose and strategy. The top layer of the structure usually has the most power and control of the businesses decisions.[1] There are several different organisational structures, these include flat, hierarchical and matrix. They all are in place to make sure that the business is set out in a clear way and is easier to see who is above who. The difference between hierarchical and flat structure is that there may only be two or three levels in a flat structure because they are designed for small businesses like a local hairdressers. [2]The matrix structure is where the employees have dual reporting relationships, generally to both a functional manager and a product manager. It is not set out...

Our CSR’s are trained to use Google maps for roadside claims to locate the nearest vendor with the fastest estimated arrival time (ETA) as well as call local vendors with the best appointment time if instead the call was regarding a glass claim. The original location of ###### had two separate units in a strip mall with one being dedicated to the admin office and the other to the call center. This separation provided the lack of communication between departments which has now trickled over to the new location where we are all in the same suite. Many call center reps feel the admin team is a relaxed setting with less management and no one to regulate their daily task. The admin team, on the other hand, see the call center as being inconsistent with call dictations which causes many issues for billing and vendor calls when the admin receives them. Over the course of the day our call center depends on the admin to keep the vendors available for more job assignments which is done by timely payments. What I mean by this is our job is to bill our client in a timely fashion from the invoices we receive from our vendors in order to pay the vendors...

...Working Together from Afar A Study on the Effectiveness of the Communication Strategies and Flow used in a Virtual Office By Patricia Camille C. Duremdes Submitted December 13, 2014 to Dr. Rosario M. Baria Abstract Communication is important in any group that has a common goal (Simon, 1976). It is a requirement in a situation where people with different tasks have to coordinate to work as one. While achieving effective communication is relatively easy in a traditional organization, organizations that exist in cyberspace have to find alternative ways to communicate effectively due to the limitations caused by the long distances between the members. This study was conducted to find out whether or not the communication within a virtual writing service of 14 workers is effective. The study used both qualitative and quantitative methods in gathering information. Information about the virtual office’s communication strategies and flow were obtained through first-hand observation, while the effectiveness of communication was determined through questionnaire results. The results indicated that the communication strategies and flow used in the office were effective, as a vast majority of the respondents had positive views on the communication within their office.
