Field Trip

PART 1: Go to one of your favorite stores and take a picture of something that catches your eye—the front entrance from the street, a display rack inside, a sign on the wall, etc. Upload the photo to the discussion thread and provide a summary of the following:

1. The products offered by the store you visited and why you like shopping there
2. What the photo shows us about the decisions the store has made regarding one or more of the 4 P’s
3. How these 4 P’s work together to keep you coming back again and again

USE THE NIKE STORE

Review the housekeeping linen inventory sheet and establish the par levels based on daily usage.

Note that not all items require par levels at daily usage x 5. Discards can amount to pilferage. Hence, discards should be authorized by the Nursing Home Administrator. The physical inventory sheet will almost always show some discrepancies. For example, the shortage of 150 wash cloths may be excessive.

So establish the par levels for the highlighted items in green 

Calculate the closing inventory and amounts needed to bring the inventory up to par levels for the highlighted items in green:

HA3110D – Quality Improvement and Risk Management

 LP07.1 Assignment: Chronic Disease Management

 Chronic disease management is a key factor in healthcare and is truly a team effort. Using the CDC website “Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion,” click on your state and apply quality management practices to your findings.

Directions

Measurement:

Describe “how your state is doing.” What are the top five public health priorities for your state. Are there any disease-specific priorities? If so, what?

Assessment:

Identify:

Tobacco Use (see Chronic Disease Indicators)  

Select you state and category of tobacco.

Determine the “all available years of smoking” for women aged 18-44 years.

Has the crude prevalence % gone up or down?

Improvement:

Identify one funded program and provide a detailed report on their focus, resources they offer.

Identify one program and provide a detailed report on their focus, resources they offer, and how you might use this information for future projects. 

How might you use this information for future projects?

reply to the students’ response and not the question  in 150 words minimum and provide 1 reference. Respond to the students response as though you are talking to them, use name 

question-

 Discuss the adverse impact of stereotyping in the workplace. Give detailed examples of various HR functions where stereotyping may occur. Examine the consequences of stereotyping as they relate to an employer’s exposure to liability. 

students response

Stereotyping is often a gateway to harassment and discrimination, but even if it does not progress to those extents, it is a danger to the functionality of any workplace. It creates tensions and barrier between employees and management and limits the potential of an organization’s employees.

Stereotyping can occur in virtually any HR function. It can happen in recruiting by choosing which collage fair to attend based on diversity demographics. It can happen in workplace safety by designing trainings for younger audiences, assuming they are more careless or less knowledgeable. Likewise, stereotyping can happen in other training and development by targeting specific groups of people while leaving others out because of a stereotype that a particular group has less knowledge, talent, or skill. Stereotyping can present itself while resolving workplace conflicts or even designing benefit packages by relying on generalizations of people instead of getting to the root of the problem or finding out what is most important to individual employees.

The bottom line is that stereotyping is a slippery slope that increases an employer’s liability. The more instances of stereotyping, the harder it becomes to prove that the employer is acting without bias or discrimination.

 What different considerations do human resource professionals need to examine when handling voluntary separations and involuntary separations? Explain your response, and use at least one academic source to support your points
