Two Olympic gold medalists in skiing, married in 2014, Jason and LeAnn Benson opened Adventurers and Explorers (A&E) outdoor sporting store, which sells gear and clothing. The couple’s concept is different than many other sporting goods stores in that they design and sell their own lines of specialized products. LeAnn’s focus is on the design of products and Jason’s focus is on the financials. As a result, no one is worrying about the organizational policies or controls.

Jason and LeAnn encourage their employees to continue their favorite outdoor sports, from skiing to mountain climbing, white-water rafting, and so on. Employees are given two weeks of paid vacation. However, many employees were allowed to take up to two months off at half pay so they could fulfill their life-long dreams. Samantha just returned from a successful climb of Mount Everest. Beth will use her two months off to backpack around Europe. Around the office, employees joked about the “weekend flu,” taking Friday through Monday off. The office often ran below staffing levels depending on the season. In addition, because Jason and LeAnn were gold medalists, they attract more employees who are interested in skiing. The skiers want time off during peak season. This is also the peak time for A&E orders and service requests.

In the last three years, the company has grown from 30 to 100 employees. Jason and LeAnn need advice on controlling daily staffing levels so A&E meets or exceeds customer expectations for responsiveness without sacrificing company identity. Propose a solution and rationale for your response to the reason below. 

• Attendance issue: The “weekend flu” (Friday-Monday).

explain the concept of the Balanced Scorecard and briefly discuss how it is used in organizations and in HR 

Create section headings for the key HR metrics for each of the 3 categories: Routine HR Metrics, HR Strategy Metrics, and HR Organizational Oversight Metrics.

Explain the rational for including those metrics on the Balanced Scorecard

Compare and Contrast Instructional Design Models

Select three different instructional design models presented in the module and compare and contrast the models. How are they similar and different? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Support your thinking, citing two to three scholarly sources which you can ascertain from the CSU Global library.

Then, indicate which model you think you would use for your instructional design blueprint and ID proposal (Portfolio Project) and why. You may find you change your mind in Module 2 once you select the business or organization for which you will design, and that is OK. Provide your best analysis of your choice at this time.

Your total assignment should be 3-5 pages long, excluding the title and reference list pages, both of which should be part of your submission. 

Instructional Design Models to discuss: SAM Model, ADDIE Model, and ASSURE Model

 Describe how HR influences the organization (use of power, HR delivery models, impact on business, HR programs).  

This is an essay question on a final exam. It doesn’t need to be long, but answer each part of the question. No cited sources. Need answered today.

 Discussion: Health Care For All Is A Nice Idea – But How Would We Pay For It?

Extending health care services to all persons is a popular topic of discussion, but the overall cost of paying the bill for the services is what seems to stop it from becoming a reality. Take some time to research the facts regarding what it would cost to extend basic medical services to all persons in the United States, and some of the proposed ideas of how it would/could be paid for. What are the likely effects for all stakeholders involved? Do you believe it is fair to expect “the haves” to pay additional personal and/or corporate taxes to provide medical services for the “have nots”? Should workers have to give up their current employer-sponsored private-pay insurance to move to one single-payer system, or should there be a choice, and why? Use peer-reviewed sources (not opinions) to respond to these questions in approximately 200 words.

Kurtz, R. S. (2013). Oil spill causation and the Deepwater Horizon spill. Review of Policy Research, 30(4), 366-380.

• What role did policy and legalities play in the disaster? 
• Does OPA 90 effectively ensure the industry’s adherence to best safety practices? 
• How can the human factor be mitigated in disasters such as the Deepwater Horizon spill?

Your article critique must be a minimum of three pages, not including the title or reference pages. In addition to the article above, you must use a minimum of two additional sources as evidence to support your analysis. All sources used should be cited; your article critique and all references should be formatted in APA style.
