Based on the article , please respond to the following:

• Explain your previous or current organization’s performance  management, compensation, benefits, and payroll system. Can these  systems be accessed via one HRIS, or does your organization use multiple  systems? Explain.
• Do you think your organization’s performance management,  compensation, benefits, and payroll systems are effective? Why or why  not? What recommendations would you make to improve those systems?

Exercise I: Settings

There are three outcomes for the first meeting between a case manager and a person or applicant who wants or needs services: 

(1) the applicant feels free to express him- or herself; 

(2) the applicant leaves confident of being able to work with the case manager toward a satisfactory solution; 

(3) rapport is established between the two participants.

Clearly this first meeting or initial intake interview is important to the assessment phase and establishes a beginning tone to the case management process. The following two questions will help you think about how to prepare for the intake interview:

1. List the factors that you think would be important for this initial meeting regardless of setting.
2. If you work in an agency and potential clients come to your office, describe how you would arrange your office to facilitate the initial meeting or intake interview.

An intake interview can take place anywhere. For each of the following locations and potential clients, describe how you would structure or arrange the setting in order to most effectively interview the individual(s) who needs or desires services. Use the factors you describe in Question 1 to guide your answers.

• A homeless person living on the streets who agrees to meet you at a fast-food restaurant
• A teenager who lives in a group home where you will meet her after school
• A single mother who invites you to her apartment in the proje

Telegram information 

As a leader, it is expected for you to be able to identify with the workers within the organization. This process can take place during basic observation, performance evaluations, attendance, interaction with others, and basic characteristics or behaviors. The leader must identify different personality types or behaviors and apply the suggested tactics for properly handling each type.

Research the CSU Online Library or another external source for an article(s) that addresses different personality types or behaviors in the work place and how to apply tactics for properly handling of each type.

Provide your opinion on the article as it applies to the following questions:

• What is the author’s main point?
• Who is the author’s intended audience?
• Do the author’s arguments support his or her main point? Explain different personality types or behaviors and how to apply the suggested tactics for properly handling of each type.
• What evidence supports the main point?
• What is your opinion of the article? (Do not simply summarize the article.)
• What evidence, either from the textbook or additional sources, supports your opinion?

Your article critique should be at least two pages in content length, including an introduction, a body of supportive material (paragraphs), and a conclusion. Be sure to include a title page and a reference page and follow all other APA formatting requirements. The title page and reference page do not count toward the total page requirement.

Assignment 2

Create a chart containing the three forms of business organizations: proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations.

Include key users of financial information, and briefly explain their roles.

Cite 3 peer-reviewed, scholarly, or similar references to support your assignment.

  A.

Class, for this assignment, we’ll be looking at art within a social context! Here are the rules.

First, you must choose a social group or movement. This can be a religious movement (E.g., a Christian denomination, Islamic sect, atheist group, etc.), political movement (either a specific political campaign, like Obama’s Hope and Change or Trump’s Make America Great Again; or a piece more generally related to the Democrat or Republican parties, or an affiliated group or third party), or otherwise cultural movement (e.g., Black Lives Matter, the Pro-Life movement, the Tea Party, Occupy Wall Street, etc.).

***********I PREFER BLACK LIVES MATTER******

Second, you must find a piece of art related to your chosen movement. We’re looking for more than just a photograph or a campaign flyer – we want to find an illustration or art piece, with a particular artist, that reflects the ideas of your chosen movement. Add an image of this art to your paper.

Third, write and submit an assignment entry (2-3 pages long, aka 500-750 words long) that answers the following question:

1. Describe the art piece. [Hint: pretend you are describing the art piece to someone who cannot see it.]

2. Summarize the message you believe the artist was hoping to convey. Do you agree or disagree with this message, and why or why not?

3. Summarize the effectiveness of the art itself in communicating this message. Explain what about the art makes it effective, and what (if anything) is there in the art that you think could be improved or is (possibly) ineffective? [Even if you agree with the message of the artist, you may find that the art itself could do a better job communicating that message.]

4. Finally, discuss the role of art in general in social conversation. Is art an effective way of communicating social messages? Why or why not? What challenges must an artist consider when creating social art?

5. Use at least 3 separate, distinct references in this paper.

Preferred method: Typed, double-spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.

• Include a cover page containing the assignment title, your name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:

• Recognize the influence of social conditions on the production and reception of modern art.

  Real Business
  Let’s roll up our sleeves and use what we’ve learned this week in a real-life business situation. Each week, you’ll encounter a scenario where you will assume the role of a business person at or who works at a national discount retail store, like a Walmart or Target. These companies provide important, everyday staples for millions of people across the country and have become very successful businesses in the process.
  Discount retail stores have locations in communities across the country. They often have strong and recognizable brands that are household names. We will explore how business works throughout this course by taking on a few of the many different roles at successful companies like these.

  Your Role
  This week, you’ll assume the role of a Category Manager for the Beauty Products category at a national discount retail store.
    WHAT IS A CATEGORY MANAGER?
  Category Managers are responsible for related groups of products (for example, baseball equipment or laundry detergents) for a retail business. They use research, information and insights about the category to change shopper behavior and increase sales of the products in the category. They also work with the suppliers of the products in their category to ensure that good products and services are available to customers.
    As a Category Manager, part of your role is to analyze data and information about how well a product is selling to help the maker of that product improve the product and consider introducing new products. Rochelle and her team at Alikay Naturals have asked you, the Beauty Products Category Manager, to review one of their products and determine where it lies in the product life cycle. Additionally, they have asked you to recommend ways to improve the product in order to increase sales.

  • What recommendation(s) do you have for Alikay Naturals to improve or replace Moisturizing Black Soap Shampoo?

  • If Alikay chose to keep the Moisturizing Black Soap Shampoo and launch your recommended product as a ͞limited time only͟ trial, what production method should Alikay use for the test market product? Why?
     
  • Step 5: Real-World Application
