Discussion Question 6, writing homework help Other Assignment Help

Imagine you are the Head of State for a country (not  a real country, but a made up country name) and must prepare a presentation with 10-12 slides regarding the cultural significance of the country. The country is about the size and geography of Texas and it has a border with the ocean and another with a country of the same size and geography. Your presentation must include the following information:

• What cultural tools might you use to maintain the historical traditions of your country? Please give two specific examples. 
• Provide two positive examples of cross-cultural influences to the people of your country. Why would they be considered positive? 
• Provide two negative examples of cross-cultural influences to the people of your country. Why would they be considered negative? 
• What have real countries done to deliberately influence interaction with outside cultures that your country might incorporate? Provide two examples 

Use the Speaker Notes area of PowerPoint for your narrative textual information, with restricted use of text on the slides to focus on trigger words of topic importance.  Review PowerPoint guidelines if you are not sure of the recommended way to set up the slides.  The Smarthinking resource is also available to assist in the basics of the PowerPoint tool.

Generally, the main topics or bullet points should appear on the slides with supporting visuals, while the Speaker Notes area is used to go into more depth regarding these main topics.

Please use APA reference and citation format for the sources that you use to support your explanation and argument. Place citations on the relevant slides with one or two slides at the end for your reference list.

Please answer with the given information only. thank you 🙂

General Hospital has determined that within three years, the paper-based health record it currently uses will be replaced with an electronic health record. General Hospital prefers to have a vendor install a computer system that allows for some tailoring to its institutional needs. You are a member of a committee that will evaluate and select the computer system. As a member of the committee, recommend the issues that should take high priority when assessing the requirements of a new system. Draft a recommendation to the committee that would include what legal issues should be raised to the committee and hospital about possible barriers and problems to implementing an electronic health record? Assuming those barriers and problems are resolved, what legal issues should be addressed with the committee and hospital in the evaluation and selection process?

THIS IS AN TEAM ASSIGNMENT. YOU WILL ONLY NEED TO DO THE INTRODUCTION 140 WORD COUNT, AND CONCLUSION 140 WORD COUNT. THE PAPER IS ON RETAIL INDUSTRY. PLEASE SEE THE PROFESSOR INSTRUCTIONS BELOW. PLEASE REVIEW MY TEAM FEEDBACK TO HELP YOU.

Purpose of Assignment

The purpose of this is assignment is share student’s knowledge of the roles of Human Resources from various organizations and the benefits of performance management.

Assignment Steps

Locate a business or industry you’ve worked for or for which you would like to work.

Provide feedback to your peers work by discussing the hiring practices, employee training, and work team utilization with their team members.

Develop a 700-word paper which includes the following:

• What they learned from reading the other papers about Human Resources and their relationship with other teams.
• What they learned about performance management.
• What they learned from any feedback provided by their peers.

Format your assignment consistent with APA guidelines.

TEAM FEEDBACK

1.Again, I don’t really have a lot of experience in the way of retail, but based on what some other people have told me, human resources generally works with the employees during the hiring and the onboarding process, however, in many companies that is where the connection ends. From then on, the management team where they work is generally their point of contact. That is not always the case, but for many companies it is. The training and job assignments all come from management as opposed to human resources.

Performance management is generally based on how well you complete the job functions. In some cases, retail locations will ask customers to review different aspects of the store, how well stocked the store is, how pleasant their experience was, what they liked, what they didn’t like, etc. Based on the answers the members of the team that scored well could receive some sort of incentive, while those on the team that scored low could receive additional training. Managers assess performance as well, but the best feedback comes from the customers.

2. Hiring practices – I think the role of Human Resources and their hiring practice depends on the type and size of the business. I once worked for a small company and applied by responding to an advertisement with a resume. I interviewed with a couple of different people and was offered the job on the spot. For larger companies, prospective employees will fill out an online application and may receive responses electronically or by a phone call. After the interviewing process, they may receive a call offering them a position and then a formal letter, either by mail or by email. Human Resources only seemed to be involved to collect relevant information for tax purposes and to provide employees handbooks that describe the company, nature of the job and what is expected from both parties.

Employee training – A couple of places that I worked at would team a new employee with someone who has experience so show them how to perform their tasks. The supervisor selects a trainer who they feel has enough experience, understanding and respect for the company so that trainer can project their positive knowledge on the new employee. I have also experienced training where you were shown how to perform the tasks and are expected to just jump in and start working and ask questions as you go.

Work team utilization – Teams are expected to work together to accomplish tasks to ensure a positive outcome for a business and can be achieved with proper performance management. Management can create teams to utilize the best of their talent and time to ensure customers are satisfied. For instance, some employees may be more outgoing than others so a manager may place sales team members on the floor to talk with customers. Meanwhile, employees who are diligent workers but do not care to work with the direct public, may be better suited to work in logistics, stocking or the back office.

3. Some of the things that I learned about performance management that will come in handy in retail business are as follows. To begin with, the human management would be at the core of effective and efficient operations so that the retail business achieves optimum performance. This means that employee performance in such retail business should be centered on the business goals, employees, customers, and products. The human resource management should ensure that they communicate the business goals to employees in a manner that employees can understand them best. Such goals should form the basis on which employee performance should be evaluated to ensure that goals are operationalized. When business goals have been operationalized in the day-to-day work of employees, this will that performance remains aligned with the specific objectives regarding how the company intends to achieve a competitive advantage (Forslund, 2015).
