Hrm/531 Week 1

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. The Media cart gathers key information that will enable the marketing department to customize better the shopping experience, making use of in-store advertising, and collect data related to consumer activity (Media Cart, 2010). Although the initial investment in the carts may seem high, the return on

Alexander, at the age of 25, started working at the local bank as a teller. During his time there, he became great friends with another 25 year old teller, Samantha. While having a lunch break discussion, Samantha told Alexander that her daughter, Avery, is extremely ill and that she requires an operation in order to survive. She also told him that she does not have any medical insurance and the operation will cost about $7,500. Some time later, Alexander asked Samantha about Avery’s condition and in response Samantha told him that Avery recovered. She then confides in Alexander that she borrowed the money from a dormant account at the bank to pay for the operation. Samantha assured Alexander that she has already started paying back the money and will continue to do so until it is all returned. Should Samantha have taken the money? Should Alexander report this case to the human resource?

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.

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

To meet the requirements desired by the President and Vice President of the Acme Corporation, I believe that they will only need four servers, considering it is such a small business of less than 20 people. All of the servers will be running Windows Server 2008 R2. The following servers will be: a file and printer server, an email and web server, and an SQL server.

The first thing I do on Monday morning is to check my voice mail and e-mail, then I would prioritize my activities for the week such as organizing department brochures, reviewing and distributing mails, scheduling appointments, assisting students with student self service calls and emails, preparing student reports, assisting registration, updating and reviewing student

If one of my relatives left me $250,000 in his or her will, with the only condition being that I must use the funds as seed for a new business enterprise in The Center's 45-county service territory, I would use the money to establish a multi-functional Community Center to serve the rural area I reside in. This Community Center would house a couple basketball/volleyball courts, a technology room, tutoring center, fitness area, snack bar, and a meeting venue. All activities would be free of charge to all community members except for the snack bar and renting of the meeting venue in which all profits collected would be used for equipment for all areas. I would use the money in the will for this Community Center because as a sophomore in high school I see the need for a safe environment that provides educational enhancement opportunities and healthy living opportunities. I believe that this business

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

The purpose of regular staff meetings helps an organisation become much more organised and efficient and places both employees and managers on the same page, it makes it easier to establish roles and collaborates to finish projects and achieve goals. They make it possible for all members of a company to work together with less confusion and accomplish objectives faster.

This is a massive one in today’s era of modern technology: emails, instant messaging, status updates, sms etc. When you are in the middle of an important task and you get interrupted or distracted, it can take you up to 20 minutes to get back into the zone. If this happens 3 times in a day, that’s 1 hour of lost productivity. In a fortnight, that’s 10 hours or more than one whole day of lost productivity, just from being interrupted. Imagine what you could do if you had a whole extra day every fortnight. Now you know how.

There are many acts that help the employees within the workforce. The acts we will be discussing are as follows: Americans with Disabilities Act, Age Discrimination in Employment act, Occupational Safety and Health Act, Family Medical Leave Act, and Fair Labor Standards Act. We will also be discussing harassment, diversity, and grievances.

After talking in class, and looking into many different topics, I have decided to go with the topic of the distraction of digital tools. This is something that interests me immensely. We see in a work environment these days, there are tons of potential distractions. Phones, computers, games and so may other examples. For example, phones are a huge distraction, on our phones we have social media, instant messaging, games and so many other apps and services that can take us away from the task at hand. On the other hand, we can also get a lot done on our phones. Whether that means having phone meetings, FaceTime meetings, being able to call clients and so many other things we do with our phones.

Distractions are just as much of a problem for office workers as they are for at-home employees. While more than three-quarters of office-based employees said they feel they work best in an office at their desk, 48 percent indicated that they are frequently interrupted by colleagues.
