Scott Lefor,

The release of information to the public – including through social media – can impact everything from a company’s image before the public to an individual’s image before a company. Jackson et al. (2020) note that while “strategic HR use of social media can build the employer’s reputation in the labor market and help HR professionals to reach candidates and current employees,” the use of social media can also “lead to the disclosure of trade secrets” or present a negative image of the company (p. 21). While companies place substantial hours and dollars into cultivating a favorable brand image before the public, a careless comment or complaint by an employee or contractor on social media can go viral and counteract such marketing efforts. In such cases, companies may find themselves forced to address such comments or complaints before the public in an attempt to save the brand image they have worked so hard to build.

In addition to impacting the image of a company, careless social media posts can also impact potential and current employees before the company. According to Melton and Miller (2015), while “most students appear to know that the content they post” on social media could be viewed negatively by “potential employers,” many students continue to do so (p. 678). Through social media, what would have been a careless comment if spoken aloud becomes a permanent statement viewable by countless individuals. Furthermore, comments and images referencing illegal activities or poor decision-making and communicating abilities become enshrined for potential and current employers to reference and base hiring and firing decisions upon.

It is worth noting that careless comments via social media can go beyond “negative,” and can sometimes involve trade secrets (as noted). While negative comments can cast a shadow over a company’s brand, comments revealing trade secrets can jeopardize long-term strategies, losing hard-won competitive edges. As referenced above, Melton and Miller (2015) assert that even though individuals know of such risks, many continue to post comments that can be understood to be “careless.”

In short, information released to the public – whether negative or revelatory of trade secrets – can force a company’s hand, forcing them to attempt to save their brand image or to respond rapidly to the sudden loss of a competitive edge.

Sarah Beane,

Social media is defined as “online communities where users create and share content and participate in networking” (Valentine, Meglich, Mathis, & Jackson, 2020).  As Valentine, et al., (2020) states, HR can use social media as a great marketing tool, with reaching potential candidates.  Social media can also be used for a business in general, getting the word out to the public about changes at a facility or responding to negative publicity.  Social media can also be a source of risk for a business, forcing some companies to create social media policies  (Valentine, et al, 2020).  Healthcare fields face several risks in regards to social media, they include HIPAA violations, violation of the employee standards for communication, and damage to the organization’s public image (Veazie, 2019). 

As a manager in a small rural hospital, I can give an example of all three risks listed above, however, I will just focus on HIPPA.   One of my employees, recently took what she thought was an innocent, picture of herself and a friend, a flight nurse who had just arrived in our ED to pick up a patient.  What the employee failed to do while taking the photo, was cover that babies face in the background.  The result was after she posted the picture, someone in the organization reported her to risk management.  Although the family did not care about the photo on Facebook, our hospital viewed this as a major HIPPA violation.  All it would take is one person to read the newspaper on the right day, read a story about the baby in the ER, and put two and two together.  Ultimately she had a day of suspension without pay and became an employee in bad standing for violating the hospital’s HIPPA policy. 

  While social media can be used in ways to damage an organization’s public image, it can also be used to engage the community.  As a facility, we have chosen to use Facebook as a way, to reach the public about all things COVID-19, either what is happening at the hospital or what is occurring countywide.  For example, when COVID started, we made a policy limiting visitors and requiring masks to enter the facility.  With the use of social media, we were able to get the message out, not only did we use our account, but we also post on different community groups.  At the same time, the public was able to ask questions and voice concerns that as an organization was able to respond to in real-time.  Although some comments were negative, we were able to respond quickly and put the community at ease. Recently we chose to start posting positions on Facebook.  I’m not sure what took us so long, but within a matter of days, we had multiple applicants.  Overall releasing information to the public is always a risk, if a company stays alert, it can help positively guide decisions.

Artistic Change in Sculpture

I have added picture to use for this assignment it just needs to be completed in text. I have listed instructions for this assignment below. The template to complete the work is in an atachment.

Instructions:

 

Relative to human history, the period covered in this week’s study is long. During this lengthy span of years, not only did people change in appearance, but the way they lived also changed radically. What we have found of their art and architecture also demonstrates an evolution in these areas.

Using your eBook, find one example of sculpture from each of the following periods: Paleolithic, Neolithic, and Bronze OR Iron Age.

View these sculpture pieces carefully. Capture an image of each of the three sculptures and place them in chronological order, from oldest to newest, in this template. Then, using information from your textbook, lectures, and other appropriate academic sources, provide the following regarding each image:

 

  1. The title of the work, its location, the materials used to create the work (if known), and the date.
  2. A brief assessment of the visual properties you observe. Describe the types of lines, shapes, colors and textures (actual and perceived) the artist has used.
  3. An analysis of the formal structure of each piece. What is the meaning or importance of how the artist has arranged, organized, or structured the visual elements in the image?
  4. The natural subject of each piece. Based on your textbook reading and Internet research, are there any details that have a symbolic meaning? If so, what?
  5. A five- to seven-sentence paragraph that discusses the cultural context of each work, based on what you have learned through your textbook reading, the online lectures, and Internet research. What do the images tell you about the culture and the people who created them?
  6. List of references, including the specific websites where you found the images.

Journal

In your opinion, what role does culture play in international expansion by  a corporation? 

Recruitment, Placement, and Talent Management

 This is a research Paper for human resources management: 8 pages, use APA style and be sure to include an abstract.
about a human resources function. The function of recruitment, placement, and talent management. There must a minimum of five references. Remember to please include references 

Need two discussion questions answered 150 words min each with references

1.Effective managers can successfully locate and apply relevant human resources laws and regulations. The United States Department of Labor website is an excellent source of reliable information.

Access the search box of the U.S. Dept. of Labor website located at www.dol.gov.

Choose three laws from the list below to research:

·  Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)

·  Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPPA)

·  Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act (COBRA)

·  Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)

·  Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN)

·  Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA)

·  National Labor Relations Act (NLRA)

·  Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA)

·  Sarbanes-Oxley Act (see whistleblower protection provisions)

For each of your three chosen laws, provide a bulleted list of five or six relevant facts that you believe have significance for line managers.

2.Should executives receive bonuses if the organization is underperforming? The response may seem apparent, but if you think they should not, would you apply the same standard to your position (assuming you are not an executive)? That is, should you receive a bonus or pay increase only when your company is doing well, even though you do not have a direct impact on the company’s bottom line? Provide an explanation for your response. Support your response with an APA citation and reference.

Motivation is the psychological process that arouses and directs  behavior. There are three theories that will help us understand the  motivation of employees in the workplace.

  1. Goal-setting theory – Suggests behavior can be motivated with  specific, challenging goals that are obtainable. The key to goal-setting  theory is ensuring employees understand what is expected and accept the  goals.
  2. Self-efficacy – Is the belief “I Can/Can’t Do this Task.”  Self-efficacy is the belief in one’s personal ability to do a task.  There is a lot to be said to scoring high in this trait. People who are  confident about their ability tend to succeed, whereas those who doubt  their ability tend to fail.
  3. Reinforcement theory – Explains how behavior can be altered by  administering positive or negative consequences to actions of employees.  Behavior with positive consequences tends to be repeated, and behavior  with negative consequences tends not to be repeated.
