...The Best HR Department Project Lauren Secko Human Resource Management SNHU 71 Aiken Street, Unit H6 Norwalk, CT 06851 Telephone: 203.550.8114 Email: lsecko@newcanaanymca.org Instructor: Dr. Bonnie Nelsen Executive Summary The best HR departments are ones that bring out the best in the team that they are working with. This is done through asking for and being open to feedback from those that you are representing. There are many components that go into this process, and one is no more important than the next. It is all of them together that brings forth an innovative and inclusive HR department that is there to service each and every staff member that is hired. From training and development, to retention and top talent recruitment, HR departments need to understand what is important to their staff and how they can make that team feel engaged and valued. When one is able to perfect that, they can then formulate a department and company that is working towards a common mission and goal. I hope to address this process through my paper that follows. The Best HR Department The best HR departments are ones that are able to attract and help to retain top talent. These departments help their employees feel valued as more than just a number or a tool to make their company better. Instead they make sure that employees know that who they are outside of work and what experiences they bring to the table every day, are valued and received. HR should be a place...

...reside at the downtown Women’s Residential Program. Public Service Consulting worked with the YWCA to help raise funds and build support for both projects. PSC helped develop the fundraising strategy and wrote grants for capital investment to build the Family Center. We also helped organize and facilitate the Neighborhood Advisory Council to build support for the project and work through community issues. PSC developed a staff training plan and coordinated training for more than 50 staff members prior to the facility opening in October of 2005. At the downtown Women’s Residential Program, PSC worked with YWCA administrators to research and develop a successful three-year funding proposal that greatly expands supportive services and facilities for women in the program. Prior to the expansion, staff offices and program locations were spread out over seven floors, with staff available mostly on weekdays during office hours. Now services are consolidated on one floor with a friendly, convenient “drop-in” center approach for residents. Supportive service staff are available around-the-clock to help residents achieve their goals, and to improve building safety and security. PSC continues to work with the Resident Council to refine the new program design, and coordinates meetings of the peer recovery program in partnership with the Commons at Grant and YMCA supportive housing...

...The Universal Language Matthew Murphy ENG 111 Introduction to Composition Spring 2014 The Universal Language My journey began with a telephone call. This was before everyone had a cell phone. The house phone rang in my parent’s kitchen. I was a junior in high school, hadn’t travelled much yet, wanted to get out and experience the country. When I picked up the phone a voice that I didn’t recognize asked for me. All that I could think was “Damn, another recruiter.” As it turns out I was correct, just not in the way I thought. The voice on the phone introduced himself as Nic Simons of the Troopers Drum and Bugle Corps. Now I had head of the Troopers, My primary musical influence had performed with them and treasured the experience. Nic offered me a position with the Troopers playing something called a contrabass bugle; all I had to do was get to Casper Wyoming, in three days with $500. The deal sounded like winning the lottery with a kicker of performing live! Of course I was in. When I arrived in Casper, having scraped together the last of my savings I didn’t know what to expect. My folks dropped me off at the Corps office, which was connected to a bingo hall, the smell of cigarette smoke pervasive, as if it would invade everything and there was no stopping it. After my parents signed paperwork giving their official permission to leave for the summer ad travel around the country with a group of people they had never met, we said a short goodbye that had my mom in...

...To succeed in today’s global marketplace, exporters must offer their customers attractive sales terms supported by the appropriate payment method to win sales against foreign competitors. As getting paid in full and on time is the primary goal for each export sale, an appropriate payment method must be chosen carefully to minimize the payment risk while also accommodating the needs of the buyer. There are four primary methods of payment for international transactions Open Account An open account transaction is a sale where the goods are shipped and delivered before payment is due, which is usually in 30 to 90 days. Obviously, this option is the most advantageous to the importer in terms of cash flow and cost, but it is consequently the highest-risk option for an exporter. An exporter has little or no control over the process, except for imposing future trading terms and conditions on the buyer. Due to the intense competition in export markets, foreign buyers often press exporters for open account terms. In addition, the extension of credit by the seller to the buyer is more common abroad. Therefore, exporters who are reluctant to extend credit may lose a sale to their competitors. However, though open account terms will definitely enhance export competitiveness, exporters should thoroughly examine the political, economic, and commercial risks as well as cultural influences to ensure that payment will be received in full and on time. It is possible to substantially mitigate...

...Managing Staff Adrienne Molett HCA/270 November 27, 2011 Axia College Managing Staff Annualizing staff is one way that health care facilities can monitor hours needed to provide care for patients. In this paper, I will be discussing how the costs are tied into staffing, the differences between annualized and scheduled-position methods. I will also talk about the reason to annualize the staff and what benefits of recording productive and nonproductive time. I will then provide a conclusion to summarize everything I have discussed. Managers in health care facilities are responsible for making sure the positions are fully covered at all times, especially if the facilities is opened 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There is one way the manager can monitor how the hours are distributed. The manager is given the cost for the month and this is when the manager must tie the cost into the actual staffing. The manager must look at how many hours it will take and find out based on the actual employee on how many nonproductive days they have to be able to equally distribute the hours for the week. Managers must know the difference between the annualized method and the scheduled-position method in order to schedule the hours correctly. These methods can vary depending upon the facility, so it is vital to know which method the facility uses. The annualized method is when the manager must include the employees’ unproductive days with their productive days to know what the exact...

...Managing Staff June 16, 2013 HCA/270 Financial Matters For Health Care Professionals Managing Staff Healthcare services administration has several roles in a facility, which depends of course on the type of facility and the size of medical facility. Overall administrators supervise, plan, and organize all decisions made within the facility. This also includes taking responsibility in staff members’ duties. Managers are also in charge of finance, accounting, marketing, policy, budgeting, and most important human resources. How are costs tied to staffing? Obtaining control of labor staff cost in a medical facility is not as simple as saying the sky is blue. This task takes lots of consideration. There would always be patient volume, once again depending on what type of practice it is, staffing calculations are actions used to calculate coverage all periods of times. Since some medical staff members work all day this means shifts would change every eight to twelve hours. The method is a basic 40 hour work week. That’s saying if someone is working twelve hour shifts they would work three in half days which would add up to 40 hours a week. Or if its eight hours shift they would work five days a week. Why annualize staffing? Annualizing is important because employees work hard and deserves their time off such as vacation time, also if due to an emergency an employee could...

...Managing Staff Donald Musgrave HCA/270 Financial Matters For Health Care Professionals January 29, 2014 Kevin Scheponik Managing Staff Managing staff can be very challenging, understand the cost of productive and nonproductive work may be as important as any other cost the company may have to plan. Knowing the cost tied to staffing can help a manager to see the labor burden that is present in the current budget. Having choices in using annualized or scheduled-position methods are important steps to plan for future cost and recording the benefits of both will bring the health care manager budgeting options for the organization. The cost of staffing is a burden that healthcare managers have to plan for in order to provide a profitable service delivery system. The hours that an employee works as well as the rate of pay are the main ingredients of the health care managers concerns when it relates to staffing and budgets abilities (Feldman, 2013). Defining the productive work hours from the nonproductive work hours is not a difficult task; it is the ability to understand how nonproductive hours need to accounted for within the budgeting process. The differences that separate the annualized method and the scheduled-position method for a healthcare manager start with an understanding of how to stabilize the cost of labor within the organization. With the annualized method, a manager can plan for the cost of each employee concerning his or her hourly salaries, vacation...

...owners of Staff One attempted a few short term adjustments to pull in the reign on the accounting of the business as well as other aspects of the business of staffing. In the past they trusted the office manager to pay the bills, deposit the checks and pay the employees. They expected her to be truthful when questioned about specifics. They expected the information regarding payments and bank account balances shown to them to be accurate. Never in their wildest dreams would they have thought that payments made to the IRS would be deleted, bank statements were falsified or that a second set of QuickBooks would have been downloaded on the computer. Technological Improvement Many long term changes need to be implemented at Staff One but a good start is with a system that schedules employees, houses client and employee information as well as timekeeping information. A scheduling system more inclusive of the system used in the past is what is needed. A system that has the ability to involve clients, employees, managers and the owners of the company. A system that gives both ‘front office’ and ‘back office’ access. The system must also be used to as much of its capacity as possible. It is time for Staff One to learn to rely on outsourcing providers with extensive experience in dealing with Information Systems and Technology. (Pearlson & Saunders 2013) There is a system available that would meet the needs of Staff One, it is...

...Staff Training ------------------------------------------------- NEGLECTED ELEMENT OF THE RISK MANAGEMENT EQUATION By Melanie Lockwood Herman Nonprofit leaders are quick to rank staff training as an important goal in the workplace. During discussions with funders and other external stakeholders many managers tout the commitment of their organizations to provide inservice training to paid and volunteer personnel. Yet the commitment to training may waiver when grant dollars or fees for services are on a downhill slope. Designing Your Training The questions below were created to guide you through the process of designing training for your organization. * What are your organization's usual practices for staff training? Many organizations have on-going staff training programs. Your risk management training should be incorporated into other existing organizational training practices. * Who will do the training? Selection of instructors will influence the nature of your training program. Training might be delivered by a staff member, outside consultant, or in some cases a law enforcement officer or other government official (e.g., child protective services worker). * How will the training be delivered? Will individuals undertake training individually or in a group session? Must participants gather in a single location or can they be trained from remote locations? A growing number of organizations are choosing online and video-based training programs to ensure consistency...
