...both participant and organisational needs have changed. Within this essay I must address diversity needs and how HRD is also focused on the future as much, if not more, than the present. In today’s market, technology has increased the approach, connection, awareness and accessibility for both employers and employees. Consequently, the world is a smaller place that is adapting significant changes towards culture and diversity. Employees now represent a greater distribution of diverse demographic backgrounds and in turn have a number of different needs and wants. Progressively more workplaces are embracing diversity with employees ranging from race, gender cultural background, approach to work, mental health and physical ability. The pace of this change has rapidly opened the possibilities of shared information and knowledge for individuals and businesses alike significantly impacting the roles and responsibility of Human Resource Development (HRD). Traditionally the implementation of HRD is to propose and put into practice training mechanisms within an organisation. With the recent trend of diversification, HRD professionals should now expect to not only meet, but also, understand and adapt their training mechanisms for changing needs of the workforce and its respective employees. Globalisation and its expanding nature The continuing trend of Globalisation and its inherent increase of competition is a major factor affecting the needs of today’s organization. Businesses...

...stumbling blocks tends to be that the person hasn’t set – and committed to – setting aside regular “business hours” to work on following through on their business activities. It’s a classic time management issue. If you’re not making the kind of money you want with your business, then you have to ask yourself if you’ve set and kept specific business hours to take care of what needs to be done. If this isn’t a problem for you, then there’s no need to read further. Maybe you’ll want to check out other articles in this series. But if this does describe the time management obstacle you’re facing in your business, we need to get to changing this right away, or the results could be pretty devestating for your bottom line (especially if it’s at an early stage of your venture). To do this, let’s take a step back for a moment and look at why people resist the idea of setting aside specific hours to build their online business – and how to turn the situation around to your advantage and give you leverage over the situation. Basically it comes down to a common perspective people have about “business hours”: I don’t need to set business hours. The whole point of an online business is so I can make money on my own time. Setting business hours would be too restricitive. Hmm … yes, and no. It is great that an online business is one that you...

...reading and understanding the scenario at hand and the issue that Interwest Healthcare is experiencing. There is a serious need for a consultant to come in and further analyze the problem and make improvement recommendations. A potential source of the issue is stemming from the lack of information to the direct employees who are inputting the information straight into the system. The hospital administrators need to monitor the employee’s direct collation to the data they are inputting into the system is in fact correct. Possibly the lack of communication resulting from the hospital administrators is an acknowledgement that the employees know of the importance of the correct data input, when in fact they are not aware of the importance and how much the organization is reliant on the information for funding and reporting. One of the biggest issues facing employee and employer relationships is the lack of communication. According to Joseph (2013), “failure to communicate effectively often leads to conflict, which can harm an organization.” If the problem is not correct by the hospital administrators, Vijay Singh may need to go the individual hospitals and have meetings directly with the individuals inputting the information. This is a means of stressing the importance and also for him to know who exactly maybe causing this issue. The information I would have to need to analyze for the organization would be the reports themselves. What information specifically is being entered incorrectly...

...Personal responsibility and college success are both important. In order to make college a successful endeavor, one must take responsibility for completing all that is required to the best of one’s ability. Each college student is responsible for completing their assignments and other requirements in a timely manner. Personal responsibility also means that personal college goals must be set.

A plan of action and a timeline to reach each goal is also a personal responsibility to make college a success. Although people rarely set aside time, personal responsibility is an integral element for college success. One must set time aside to set goals, and to determine a plan to achieve success form the college experience.

...Cynthia Whitehurst PSYC 1300 Learning Frameworks Module 2 Journal Assignment To begin with the end means that I must know where I plan on going not only in my career but in my personal life. I need a plan that will get me to my goals and make the most of what I have already learned. In the 8th grade a recruiter for the Navy came to our school to explain all the interesting and fun benefits that a person could get from the military. Right then and there I decided to join the Navy as a Navy Nurse and then finish my education to become a Pediatrician. My plan to become a nurse came to a halt when I became pregnant with twin sons and was not able to continue on that path. Reading into the Covey visualization example about picturing what people would say about me at my funeral really put things into perspective. The realization that I didn’t complete my goal as becoming a I want people to say that I was dedicated to making a better life for my children, continuing my education and I never wanted to stop learning to better educate my children. I would also like people to know me for the love and passion that I gave to my family and my friends. I agree with Covey when he says that all things needed to be created twice in order for them to be successful. He says that first you must have a mental creation followed by a physical creation. While I was pregnant I took the time to evaluate what I wanted to do with my future as well as the children’s future (mental creation)...

...managers delegate responsibilities to other team members due to his or her own increasing responsibilities to be shouldered. A correct or we can say right person has to be identified and clearly mention their job requirements allowing them to participate and also inform other members about the change. In the example “practicing the skill” Anne has delegated a project to putting together new departmental procedures manual by the end of the month to Mr. Ricky Lee. Since Ricky is already working on another project he asks Anne if this project could be delegated to Bill Harmon. Bill Harmon is working in this company for the past 3 years. Hence Anne approves Bill Harmon being reassigned as far as Bill knows the parameters of the project and what needs to be expected for the completion of this project. Now Ricky is preparing for his meeting with Bill regarding the assignment to be reassigned. It is very important to understand the capability of completing the project. Anne knew that Ricky was capable of completing the project given to him as Ricky believed that Bill was capable. Here Ricky did not analyze what Bill might be working on as Anne did not realize what Ricky might be working on. If there could be any alternate possibility of Ricky and Bill teaming up and complete the project of putting the procedures manual together, could cut down time by the work being divided among the two. I think Ricky should have taken up the project and found out a way to complete with the resources available...

...the CEO and consultant change the organizations culture. This case showed that not any assessment could work all the time. And that it is needed to best study the case or issue in hand, just like the CEO did, and upon that choose what methods of assessments could best help gain feedback, to help in effectively changing the organizations culture and solving its issues. Example: the organization wanted to improve the challenges they faced which were: Need to create a new organizational culture that is customer-driven. • High levels of customer dissatisfaction. • A need to streamline the administrative process. • High levels of employees mistrust. • A need to enhance the overall skill levels of the managers and employees since most of the issues had to do with behavior and skills needing to be improved, the individual Competence Assessment was chosen since this assessment uses structured interviews using behavioral interview techniques were the assessee paints a picture of his/her strengths and development needs (what they want to develop in) and how to bring the best of out a person (like skills and performance). By gaining accurate feedback by choosing the best assessment method, the CEO was able to make effective decisions in the organization to help reorganize and create a new organizational culture. Reasons why Psychological testing and Multi-source assessment were not chosen because the Psychological testing method aims to provide feedback and assist decision...

...10 essentials for giving purpose to your church How do you structure a church so it just keeps on growing and doesn't plateau? I believe there are 10 essentials you must focus on as you structure your church. 1. You must develop an unshakable conviction about growth. First and foremost, you need to settle on the idea that God wants His church to grow. And He doesn't want it to stop growing! You don't ever need to apologize for wanting your church to grow. God wants His church to grow; it's His will and His command. The reason churches must grow is because people are going to hell without Jesus Christ. As long as there is one person within driving distance of your church who does not know Jesus Christ, you must keep growing. 2. You must change the primary role of the pastor from minister to leader. You can grow a church to 300 with pastoral skills or ministry skills, but for it to grow beyond 300 will require leadership skills. As a leader, you must learn to communicate your vision in very personal and practical ways. You must also learn to motivate your church through your messages, and understand that it's easier to motivate a group than it is to motivate individuals. A leader also equips others for ministry. Otherwise, you'll burn out and the church won't grow. An expanding ministry also demands you learn how to raise money. Those who write the agenda must underwrite the agenda. And you must learn to manage your time. Effective leaders know where their...

...It is undeniable that there is a shift in viewership’s habits. More and more every day, viewers want to see their favorite shows and programs when they want and where they want. Although television is still the n.1 way for audience to watch show (and still the most lucrative for networks), new forms of viewership (mobile devices, on demand) are on the rise, and this seems an irreversible trend. If TV networks want to survive they need to be well aware of all this changes, and create appropriate strategies to answer positively to audience’s new needs and demands. Many networks are trying to take initiative, creating mobile apps and giving to the audience the chance to see their shows on mobile devices, where and when they want (HBO GO, to make one example). MTV, in spite of a very young audience (“the digital natives”), doesn’t seem to have an appropriate strategy to take advantage of these shifts in viewership. Whit a business plan, I will try to create and develop a new department, for MTV - the Digital Development Department – which goal is to find solutions and new strategies to gain back the leadership to the network among the “digital natives”. The department will create new apps for mobile devices; it will try to stipulate agreements with Hulu, Netflix; etc. In the long run, my goal is, for the department, to create shows that will air exclusively (or primarily) in the “digital space”. I will try to find ways to monetize on digital platform, making of MTV the N.1 brand among...

...the consumer service side, repair shops. Looking at all of these some bottlenecks or constraints are easily identifiable. For this I will look closer at the service side of the industry and how the theory of constraints can affect the repair shops. First off forecasting for a repair shop can already be a hard to estimate because it is an as needed service. The slow-downs in this business are close to impossible to predict as there is no real season for car repairs. So the major constraint will be an unexpected demand in repairs. For the theory of Constraints to help with this, further causes for this restraint need to be identified. So if we are looking at a smaller locally owned shop we could identify the restraint as being poor scheduling of both labor and appointments. Once this is identified the theory will help ease the restraint. To handle this they will need to pad the forecast for the amount of work they estimate will be needed and accommodate the scheduling to match this. This can be done with a unique scheduling system for the shop with room for the varying service levels needed. With that the shop as a whole has to have the initiative to focus on the areas needed during these times. Something to consider would to have cross trained employees. So if collusion repair are needing more labor while routine fixes is slow, mechanics are able to assist in the larger work load. To make the theory work there must be positive attitude towards any changes taking place....

...in the work face treat the job seriously. A part of working for a company means that when on their time you represent not only yourself but the professionalism of that company. Many companies want employees that can work well with others and bring enjoyment to the work place. A show of commitment and integrity also will be helpful in the advancement to manager or higher levels of the company. Honesty ranks high on the list not just to the company but the other employees that you will work with. The willingness to sometime swallow your pride and except jobs to help the company is always a plus. I have always looked at a job as if is my company ,corporation or work environment. Since I have been in business for myself I feel the need to put the same effort into whatever job that I’m doing. If the job calls for a strict dress code then follow the dress code. You should know if the job requires you to dress business /formal that usually means you have to wear a suit. If semi -professional you can usually wear a pair of casual dress paints and a button up. Attendance is a must always one of the critical elements in the success of any company. Many companies look for individuals who have shown or have been punctual in school or on the worksite. A lot of companies want to know, should they take a chance on you? Always follow the rules that have been set in place. Some employees forget this important point. Do not deviate from this rule a lot of times you may be...

...mall located in China. Then I want analyze the reason why this mall is failing in China. Finally, I would like to give this shopping mall some suggestions. The world’s largest shopping mall located in China, because China has the largest amount of population, so in this country, most shopping malls need fit lots of people. Shopping malls in China need have enough space for parking and entertainment, as we can see, from outside of the mall, it is more like play ground or “Disney”, because in most of Asian countries, collectivism and familism are priority for most family, the shopping mall not only needs consider their customers, but also needs consider their families, such as their children and their friends. Offer them some places to take a break and have a chat. Because of globalization, more and more brands start to occupy the market of China, but the largest shopping mall “like a plane speeding down the runway”. It is hard to be accepted by these brands and also customers. This is kind a new thing for Chinese people, because the price of land is so expensive, this kind of mall cannot build in downtown, it has to be in outskirts, the traffic in city is horrible, so it needs take a long time to drive to the mall, so people don’t want waste their time on the traffic. In some other cities in China, there is also some shopping mall like this one, but not as huge as this one. There are a lot of people would like to spend 2 hours to drive to the shopping mall because they are...

Before the influx of new business the slow systems didn’t really bother the business or the employee’s production, but over the past years the need to upgrade their systems processes has become apparent. Academy Carpets now desperately needs a new system integrated, some salesmen are still using a pen and pad to track sales and request their orders, as a result of this their orders are constantly getting misconstrued up due to the lack of organization.
