...GS1145 Trends in the Workplace Environment 5/19/14 My paper will be discussing the association with working as a professional in an organization related to the professional field. I will also be discussing the advantages and disadvantages of working with people in an office versus working from home. A professional organization and a professional field differ in many ways. A professional organization is usually a nonprofit group of individuals looking to further seek a particular profession. This group’s focus is usually directed towards developing a solution for a common outcome. The professional field is a concentrated area of work in which an individual directs focus upon. This is usually the profession that a person is directly involved with. Both of these areas are relatable in that they both require the proper educational credentials in order to achieve each primary outcome. Working in an office compared to working at home can have its pros and cons. When working in an office environment an individual can work with other people to complete a project and gather ideas. This can be beneficial for people that have creative jobs and need to brainstorm ideas. Being in an office environment can keep an individual from procrastinating by providing a certain amount of pressure in order to get objectives completed. This can also be a form of distraction always having people demanding completed assignments. Working from home can be beneficial because of the lack...

...Would you have fired Walker? Why or why not? In 3-5 paragraphs discuss the pros and con of your decision. The audit profession relies heavily on the integrity of the professional in order to instill confidence in their work. The importance of integrity is something that should be known to any accounting graduate. In this case, Walker not only obtained her bachelor’s degree, but did so with a high grade point average. Walker then should have been aware about the consequences of her lie. Walker did not only fail to see an issue with her lie, but also had no problem lying to her supervisor. Therefore, Walker demonstrated a lack of integrity and should be fired. In addition, in the audit profession it is important for management to be able to trust that their employees are performing honest, fair and accurate work. If I were Vaughn or Roberts, this would raise a red flag to question the honesty of Walker’s assignments. If she was willing to lie about something so small like having taken the CPA, there is no guarantee that she would not lie about more important matters. Having to question Walker’s honesty in all the assignments she completes would lead to an inefficient working environment, which can have detrimental effects to an audit. Furthermore, firing Walker would not only provide an ease of mind to her supervisors, save the audit several hours of reperforming her work, but also allow them to avoid a possible lawsuit which could ruin the firm’s credibility. While it...

It is designed to help guide professional development within HR and focuses on 10 professional areas, and 8 behaviors essential to excellent HR practice. It spans across 4 bands, progressing from an entry level HR position such as administrator at band 1, to HR director at band 4.

...BHS328 - Team Building Dr. Ray Borges Case Study 1: What makes the group a team & why is Motivation the Key and what are the pro and cons of teams. Date: 25 July 2011 Abstract I have just been appointed to head position in the local division of a health care management organization. A colleague of mine stated that he wants to assemble a group of employees to meet periodically together and discuss issues and events that have taken within the organization. In this case study I will explain, define and discuss under what circumstances the group would be considered a team, in other words, what would be its distinguishing characteristics between a group and the team. I will also talk about the concerns of another colleague in which he states he feels that a team could function effectively in our organization even if the individual employees lacked the needed motivation. My job in this case study is to explain to him why motivation is important when working in teams. I must in doing so consider the role of involvement of the employees. Lastly I will describe some of the positive and negative aspects of working as a team. As the head of the local health care division, I had to explain to one of my collages what the difference between group and team were. I started by trying to explain that: In a group, members think they are grouped together for administrative purposes only. I explained to him briefly some of the ten defining features that separate...

...QUALITY HEALTHCARE 2 Introduction My approach in this analysis is one of a personal matter. I feel very adamant about our country’s healthcare provisions and the lack thereof. Insurance companies are making it virtually impossible for the poor and/or middle class to afford to receive quality healthcare. In that, the politicians and the wealthy are the only citizens that can afford to take care of themselves, or their loves ones when it comes down to “the BEST care that money can buy” concept. Topic Money Talks: To Be Uninsured or Underinsured… That is the question. The price of a procedure dictates the quality of care, (lower, price less quality). Should the markets for the uninsured or the underinsured dictate quality healthcare? Especially, when faced with a catastrophic illness or event and cannot afford to have better healthcare. What sparked this topic was when a discussion that came up in class pertaining to the Professor’s father who life to me was not held as valuable when the hospital doctors made the determination that the cost of keeping him alive was no longer in the hospital’s best interest. Likewise, my mother went through a situation where she fell very ill and was taken to a major medical center for emergency to determine the cause of her serve abdominal pain. A diagnosis was rendered and she was stabilized and released. The medical...

...choices pros and cons Last year I decided to go back to school to change my career. For the last nine years I have been in management running restaurants, one of which being my own. I can honestly say I will never want to work in a restaurant ever ever again. I chose HVAC as the profession that I thought would benefit my family the best; especially since it is either roasting or freezing in Fresno. Working with my hands has always interested me and I've found that I am a mechanical person when it comes to figuring things out. There are a few different paths I can take with HVAC, some of them paying more then others. That really is the goal to make as much money as possible so my family is comfortable. One direction is to get my contractors license and be a independent contractor; the other is to work for a company and start out at the bottom. There will be pros and cons to both but I'm leaning towards one more than the other. As a contractor I would be in charge of my own schedule but I would have to schedule my own work and could not depend on it just coming to me. As an employee I could work full time and not have to hunt down work, though I would be locked into a schedule without the ability to change it. If I work for myself the profit margin can be much higher, though I would have to be responsible for a lot more with edd, taxes, state board, etc.. When working for a company the only thing I would be responsible for would be the quality and efficiency of my work. I...

...Cultural Diversity in Professions 11-13-2010 You Decide Out of the four applicants for the sales manager position, one applicant stood out from the rest as better prepared to fulfill the job description. All applicants possessed particular qualities or characteristics that were fitting for the position, however, only one of them had both the experience, and knowledge the position requires. As a human resource manager I would hire Karen for the job. The reason why I would hire Karen for this position is because of the fact that she was the only one I feel would be able to step into this position and require the least amount of training time. I feel like because of her knowledge and experience she will be confident stepping into the position. Karen has experience in sales and fiber optics. I would be comfortable hiring her as a sales manager because she has five years of sales experience. The fact that she graduated first in her class in fiber optic engineering, tells me that she is the right person to sell fiber optics. This position was made for her! While analyzing all the qualities and characteristics of all candidates, I weighed the pros and cons of each one. Some candidates were appealing because they were single, as this would be fitting for the leisure time they would be required to spend with clients. Other candidates were appealing because they had sales experience; and others because they had knowledge of fiber optics. When considering Karen for the position...
