...Unit 1, Assessment 3 – P4, Explain how their style of organisation helps them to fulfil their purpose In this document I shall be investigating my chosen business, McDonalds and Argos, I shall be looking into how their style of internal organisation helps them to achieve their aims and objectives. I will also identify how the different departments in the company work together, and how they have developed overtime with the growth of the company. McDonalds is one of the biggest fast-food chains in the world, they have been running since 1974 and currently operate around 1,200 restaurants in Britain and Ireland alone. On their website they express their interest in serving quality food that their customers can trust. However, they do go on to discuss about how highly they prioritise their relationship with suppliers, franchisees and employees. They also talk about how they are firm supporters in British Agriculture, and choosing to use only British suppliers in their restaurants in Britain. They employ over 91,000 employees in their restaurants and invest over £40 million a year into training and development of staff. Because McDonalds is such a big business, they have many different parts and departments, such as accounting, marketing, operations and human resources. We know that this type of structure is working for McDonalds because of all their success in the past years. McDonalds has been producing a revenue of over $25 billion for the past 5 years, which is an incredible...

...| P4 and P5: Draw up plans to assess the design of the website. | Mr Morgan | | Phillips.Kieran | | | Purpose The purpose of this website is to be largely promotional and raise the status of Monmouth and the surrounding areas as a destination for overseas visitors. In achieving this, the website is designed to be informational, educational and to encourage tourists to visit and stay in the area. Availability and Accessibility Starting with the basic, yet key aspect of usability, I will be discussing the availability and accessibility of the site. If people try to access the website and it doesn’t work — for whatever reason –the website becomes worthless. An example is server uptime, it’s important to ensure the possible or current visitors don’t get an error trying to load the site therefore it will be wise to invest in good hosting which will be done. Another example is broken links, it is essential to double check that there are no dead links on the site. Another key aspect to consider is Mobile responsiveness, ensuring that the site can handle different screen sizes and slow connections. Clarity The second key aspect to usability is clarity. If you distract or confuse your visitors, they will either need more time to find what they came for, or they might forget their initial goal all together. Either way, they will not experience the website as user-friendly or chances are that they will leave dissatisfied and with no intention of coming back....

...Human Resource Plan The Human Resource Cycle refers to the process that is involved in employing people into a business. The Human Resource Department is responsible for carrying out the processes in the cycle. Employees are employed; they contribute to the business and eventually leave. This process can be seen in the different stages of the Human Resource Cycle. Recruitment After trained labour is identified previously, job descriptions are formed and are to be discussed with special employees. The business would most likely use external recruitment (outside the firm) to attract employees as there would be only one skilled person currently in the business; which is the sole trader (owner). Therefore the business has to recruit employees...

...Unit 24: P4 & P5 P4 - Describe the importance of referral to other organisations. P5 - Describe potential boundary issues that could occur in a helping relationship. The referral to other organisations means to see whether the patient needs counselling at all or needs another professional for their problems, such as a psychologist, doctor, hypnotist or doctor etc. It is important to refer the client to other organisations because they may need help from different medical service sectors, for example the client may have an eating disorder therefor they are obese and they end up seeing a counsellor about their problem, which doesn’t make much sense, this is why the referral system is crucial so instead of the client going to the wrong service, they can go to a physiotherapist and help them overcome their obesity. There are many protocols assessed before giving a client a referral, they make sure the urgency of referral is determined by several factors such as; level of risk involved, wishes of client, immediate nature of the demands for the service and wishes of clients family, friends guardians etc. They also have to make sure that the certain type of service they refer the client to will benefit them and help them rehabilitate themselves to get over their problems. In conclusion it is important that the client gets referred to the proper professional to help them with their dilemma, however the client is entitled to know what kind of professional they are being referred...
