...Recommendation Report HRM/552 May 30, 2016 Dr. Linda Ballard Recommendation Report My job here at ABC call-center is a newly acquired position here and my focus is on recommendations and restructuring the call center and the overall performance. In my new position I have many things to review and report on with recommendations for the call-center. It is important for me to review all of the call center aspects and report based on all of the factors that can make the call center as a whole more productive and better. At first glance the call center seems to be doing fine; however, the profit margin seems to be slowing and dwindling each reporting week. In first review of the numbers it would seem that the employees are not doing their job, but the numbers show that they are taking calls, doing work, and producing. There is something missing though, so we need to find out what is missing and how we can fix this in the reporting. In reviewing the employees, Henry is the employee who has been here the longest. He has been here with the company for 2 years. We want to speak with him and get his insight into the issues with the call-center and see what can be done from the employee stance to make the center more productive. Henry met with me today and we were able to get some very informative answers about issues that he feels are directly related to the issues at hand for the employees. Some of the concerns mentioned are: * Lack of proper Training * Employee...

...Date: 25 March 2014 To: James Brown Math Teacher From: Jack Don Carreviews.com Reviewer Subject: Recommendation for first car At your request I have done some research on both Electrical and gasoline powered car. Based on the features, safety rating, and mpg (miles per gallon), I will recommend the best car within your budget range of $30,000. I will be using multiple sources to compare both types of vehicle from Nissan, and Honda. Lastly, I will present to you my conclusion which will help you in finding that perfect first car. Brief Overview of Electrical Powered Vs. Gasoline Powered Car Electric cars are fairly new to the market, so consumers that purchase one today will basically be getting a product that might have some recalls. On the other hand, the gasoline powered car has been around since the 1890s, so they are very common and easy to maintain. For example, if something happens to your electric car you would not be able to take it to any ordinary mechanic shop to get maintenance done. This is where the gasoline powered car wins, sure they might have some recalls as well, but they are easier to maintain and you will be spending less money because you would not be forced to take your car to the dealership for maintenance. Features Compared The 2014 Nissan Leaf S starts at $28,980 and the 2014 Honda Accord LX starts at $22,755. The Nissan Leaf is an all-electric vehicle, while the Honda Accord is gasoline powered. They both meet the...

...Subject: Company Profile The company I am researching will be EA Games and its implementation of a $10 fee charged to gamers. EA develops, publishes, and distributes software for a variety of consoles that range from computer games to mobile software . EA was founded in 1982 and holds popular titles under its name such as Madden, FIFA, The Sims, and Battlefield, among others. EA has held a favorable market share over a 15-year period, and in an industry where software companies frequently enter and exit because of growing competition that can come from amateur developers to other well financed companies, only shows that this market share position is evidence of the popularity and quality of their products. Since the early 2000’s the internet has emerged and is becoming integrated with everything we use, as an industry software companies, including EA, have evolved multiplayer gaming into online entities that carry their own experiences past the story line assigned with each game. The Issue Originally games were simple and once played to the end, there was little left. Since the introduction of online multiplayer features, software companies have found ways to market new products. EA and many other developers found that by users would pay for virtual perks and advantages and that these virtual purchases created significant revenue for their company . EA however, took it a step further and charged users a $10 fee to access the games online features if the user was not the...

...EXECUTIVE SUMMARY NIKE INC. In an effort to become one of the world’s leading designers, marketers, and distributors of athletic footwear, apparel, equipment, and accessories, Nike Inc. started with two visionary men who transformed themselves into one of the top selling brands in the athletic shoe industry. Through taking chances and understanding customers needs, Nike Inc. has established a large market position and strong brand equity. Nike Inc. understood early in its history that aligning its products with top athletes like Tiger Woods, Lance Armstrong and Michael Jordan, would propel the Nike brand to the very top. Nike also fostered endorsements with both individuals and associations like the NFL. Nike also takes into consideration the impact of giving back, having a positive Corporate Social Responsibility and being environmentally conscious. At the same time Nike experienced setbacks due to their dependence on third party manufacturers and having limited control. Nike Better World CSR Campaign targets smaller waste output (carbon footprint) and paying closer attention to the way their products are being manufactured (labor force) helping Nike to get back in good standing with consumers. Because, the market for sporting goods is intensely competitive, it is important for Nike to realize that it is not just the young “hip” generation that is going to keep them on top. The older “Baby Boomers” can help them to succeed too; this generation is known for...

...To: Department Heads and Hospital Board. RE: Recommendation Report Outlining Dear Sir/Madam, In attempt to the facilitate hiring volunteer students who have interested in pursuing a medical career. I have come up with a few recommendations. Firstly, we should ask the students for letter of recommendation from their teacher who known the students’ characteristic well. I recognize that those who wish to dedicate their time to public service, community health efforts, and exposure to experience in medical setting come from various backgrounds. Some may be intent on pursuing a career in medicine, while others may be merely contemplating it. Whatever their personal background may be, our goal is providing them enriching experience after the volunteer term. The needs of submitting letter of recommendation will help us speed up the process to begin with actual volunteering. Secondly, I will also require the students’ GPA. Their GPA should be high from 3.5 to 4.0. Because we will identify the students whose mature and have responsibility for this volunteering position from their GPA. Lastly, we should have an orientation for those students that meet our requirements. After the orientation, we will make an appointment to interview the individual student. I believe the students should have some idea about what they are going to do. We can have some general questions finalize who is a good candidate for the volunteer position. I am looking forward to hear from you. Sincerely...

...Recommendation Report: Call Center Nida Labao HRM 552 July 13, 2015 Sheri Johnson Recommendation Report: Call Center A customer service call center is in need of an advisor to help with the organization’s development and training program. The profit margin rate has been low and employee turnover is very high. Also, due to the lack of training, customers are dissatisfied and complaining. As the new Human Resource advisor, a recommendation report has been created for the organizational development and training programs for the call center. The report will consist of the following points: components of job analysis and design, techniques in developing training programs, importance and differences in suing mentoring and executive coaching, an effective approach to organizational development and different approaches to career development. Job Analysis and Design It is essential to develop and implement the appropriate job analysis to resolve the company’s concern about the organizational development and training program.

...April 24th 2014 After being with ABC Corporation for a year and a half as their upgrades and improvement specialist I Have the following improvements in mind. 1- Better time utilization 2- Less loss of productivity 3- Shift changes After careful consideration and talking to lower employeesand management these three things seem to be on everyone’s mind. The first point I would like to make is that these three things actually will vastly improve the company. They actually go hand in hand and can all be dealt with simultaneously. When employees feel they are being treated with respect and caring they treat their job the same way. 1. Better time utilization a. During down time b. During breaks c. During lunch shifts To deal with better time utilization we need to put into place a system where there is always someone qualified to run the machine or section while others get their lunch or breaks. The way I would handle this is to have all employees rotate through other departments after they have been with the company for thirty days. This would get them familiar with how other departments operater. The regular person would show them basic usage and jobs in the department, as they might only be there for 20 minutes to 40 depending on if it is a break or lunch. As far as downtime this would also solve the waste of employees standing around waiting for machine’s to be repaired or serviced. Employees...

...ggrgegregrgregrg fefe A report or account is any informational work (usually of writing, speech, television, or film) made with the specific intention of relaying information or recounting certain events in a widely presentable form. Written reports are documents which present focused, salient content to a specific audience. Reports are often used to display the result of an experiment, investigation, or inquiry. The audience may be public or private, an individual or the public in general. Reports are used in government, business, education, science, and other fields. Reports use features such as graphics, images, voice, or specialized vocabulary in order to persuade that specific audience to undertake an action. One of the most common formats for presenting reports is IMRAD: Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion. This structure is standard for the genre because it mirrors the traditional publication of scientific research and summons the ethos and credibility of that discipline. Reports are not required to follow this pattern, and may use alternative patterns like the problem-solution format. Additional elements often used to persuade readers include: headings to indicate topics, to more complex formats including charts, tables, figures, pictures, tables of contents, abstracts,and nouns summaries, appendices, footnotes, hyperlinks, and references. Some examples of reports are: scientific reports, recommendation reports, white papers, annual reports, auditor's reports, workplace...
