Several circumstances determine the protection of whistleblowers. This might include employers reporting violation in the employment discrimination laws and the reporting of hazard communication act. In case an employee is discharged from job for using the employer’s telephone to report violations, the employee can be protected by the whistle blower act in Texas. The whistleblower laws majorly protect the government employees with an approximate of 90% of the government workers benefiting from these laws. However, the private sector employees are not covered by the whistleblower law. Question 9 Over time, stakeholders have played a very significant role in corporations. They are the people who invest on the corporations through devoting their finances to support the running of the corporation.

If you review table four and reference the savings from year one to year two you can determine the potential return on investment. The clinic did not obtain the full impact of the revenue in year one because having to account for initial cost of implement billing system that has the feature of e-statements. I used the total financial return from year one as a starting point. I did not move over the one-time costs to the second year and other one-time costs. For example, the one-time cost of the new billing system would only apply to year one. The clinic then would utilize the $208,960 savings per year going forward. The savings that I determined her would be calculated at a minimum amount for what the entire billing system would do for the clinic. The clinic has other departments that would benefit from this billing system and the new features the system has to offer. I would recommend the clinic go with this product and new workflow that I have identified.
Kudler Fine Foods uses a loyalty program which, as it currently stands, serves to “increase the consumer purchase cycle as a means to increase the loyalty and profitability of its consumers,” (p. 1, University of Phoenix, 2007); management is proposing the implementation of a new multi-media shopping cart that will appeal to the high-end clientele as well as track more customer data and improve sales.

As the Ground Station software lead for the Triton Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) program, I recognized that the review of software Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) items had become a continuous “do loop” and was tying up valuable program resources. My team was responsible for the review of over 30 CDRLs and their preparation and review was costing the program almost $15,000 apiece for each review cycle. We had fallen into a rut where the documents were submitted, my team along with subject matter experts would review and provide comments. The contractor team would then respond to these comments without any coordination and resubmit the documents. My team would not agree with the adjudication of the comments so the review process would start all over again. This process needed to improve to save the program both time and money.

I would do this by stating that a compensation professional can be a full time employee that knows the company and what the company need, they can be cost effective, and there is a level of commitment. When discussing knowing a company, this also means knowing the customers and the competition. The compensation professional can learn who the customers are, what the needs are of the customer, and even why they actually buy or use the service. With the compensation professional being full time, the employee can do the research needed to find this information. They can also aid in the process of find the ends and out of the competition. This gives the business a competitive edge. In addition, knowing and understand the needs of the customer is the centre of a successful business. This information or knowledge, one can use
By sending mail directly or making personal calls to all the doctors, administrators, and any other relevant personnel as well as visiting them if possible, we can establish a relationship with the customers at virtually no cost. However, the expected time commitment for the product is the most important part of our marketing strategy. Firstly, we will have to determine the persons to contact at the hospitals and nursing homes. Secondly, our team will have to determine when and how often we contact the target audience. Lastly, we will need to work on our communication skills and make sure that we are striking the right tone and positively convincing them to switch to our product. The response we receive is going to be our yardstick for determining
Chapter one started off with an interesting case about a married couple, who are doctors and decided to work within the same hospital. Soon after they started to work there, their marriage started to suffer and in the end they decided to get a divorce. Mr. Whittamore decided that he was going to leave the hospital and was thinking about opening his own clinic, even though it was against his contract. He thought that he would go talk to Singson and explain the situation to him and see if the contract could be overlooked and allow him to open his clinic. Singson told Whittamore that the contract would stand. Singson responds made Whittamore upset and the conflict between Singson and Whittamore started. The chapter continued talking about the approaches that people may use in order to

Week 12 consisted of us having completed an individual draft of Part’s 1 and 2 to look at. These drafts were placed into our Google drive, making it easier to look at them as a whole for our group. We then met up that Friday to discuss and create a second draft with our collaborated and agreed upon works. Due to Amy not being here for this one, she made sure her documents were there ahead of schedule to use. I also had gotten several different resources to look at to aid us in creating our strategic plan. We chose our recommended resources.
The three questions that need to be addressed within staffing planning are how many people should be recruited, what resources are needed, and how much time will it take to hire employees ( Phillips & Gully, 2015). In regards to how many people should be recruited, it has been suggested that by having more applicants, it allows an organization to be more selective. This can allow the company to identify the candidate who will be the best fit for the position as opposed to hiring the only applicant who applies. Phillips & Gully (2015) mention that staffing yields are the best source of information for determining how many people to recruit and it comes from data being collected during a company’s previous recruiting efforts. Also, one way is
This week I have fully grasp the work that goes into being an RN, case manager and what it entails to fully review a patients’ stay at the hospital in order to discharge them in the most effective and efficient way. I understand the need for these professionals in the healthcare field, not only in the hospital setting, but in skilled nursing facilities as well, one reason being is that I believe someone has to advocate and review the patients’ needs before they are sent home. Just like last week I was able to sit in on rounds and observe a great deal of the doctor and case manager dynamic and how important it is for both to know the patient as much possible. Sitting in rounds every morning makes me realize how hard it is to make decisions for another
