Performing Purchasing Agent Duties Business is booming for Waters, Inc., a growing customer service fulfillment business. Most of its business is coming from clients who once outsourced their customer service needs to firms in India. A major client just signed a contract that will take effect in nine months.  This means there are only nine months to purchase the equipment and to train 75 new customer service representatives.  As a purchasing agent, you are tasked with getting the computer equipment and software that the new agents will need to the specifications of both the client and established company standards.

This assignment has three distinct parts that are outlined below. This paper will be 8–10-pages long. Label each part clearly.

Part 1: Need Identification and Specification

1. Create 10–12 questions that you will ask the client in order to determine the exact hardware and software needs. Provide a brief rationale for asking the questions.

Part 2: RFP

1. Write a request for proposal based on the needs and specifications identified during the need and specification stage. Note: You will have to fabricate the needs and specifications based on outside research, e.g., standard computer specifications, basic software needs, etc.
2. Describe how and to whom you will distribute the RFP. Assume the company has a requirement that minority-owned businesses must be included in the distribution of the RFP.

Part 3: Timeline of Tasks and Activities

1. Develop a comprehensive timeline of the tasks and activities, and who is involved with each task or activity, that need to take place to fulfill the need in the time frame indicated in the scenario.  You will be graded on the completeness of the list and the realistic nature of the timeline.

Lesson 6: Workplace Safety and Global HR

Activity 6: Google Case Study Continued

For this activity, you will continue consulting with Google executives. They informed you that they are opening offices in Paris and London. They plan to relocate current employees who work in its Bay Area location. Google believes the use of expatriates is the best approach given their familiarity with the company and its strategic mission. The HR department is concerned about the safety of its employees. The Google executives and HR managers you meet with pose the following questions.

1. What sorts of factors do you think Google will      have to take into consideration as it tries transferring its culture and      reward systems and way of doing business to its operations abroad? We      believe that if we fail in London and Paris, plans to expand further will      be abandoned. 
2. What measures should we take to relocate our      executives? Obviously, in London language is not a barrier. We are      concerned about their safety, especially due to terrorist activities in      France. We are also concerned about some of the spouses’ abilities to      relocate and be happy.

question-

Read the hypothetical below. What are John’s potential claims if he is terminated this week?

John is a 54-year-old man with diabetes. He has worked for Telco for 20 years. Lately, he has difficulty concentrating and makes numerous mistakes. He has missed several days of work due to his diabetes. Supervisor Mark wants to fire John this week.

Instructions: Please write in essay format.  Include the guidance below in your analysis:
a) Set forth the federal statute and/or theories of law that are applicable.
b) Identify the legal issue(s) that exist and claims that may be brought based on the facts of the case.
c) Apply the facts of the case to the elements of the law/theories of law.
d) Cite a case in the text which is on point with the scenario, or compare and contrast with a case in the text.
e) Provide an action item agenda of specific objectives you would recommend implementing in order to prevent future exposure to liability. Be specific (e.g., if training is a recommendation, describe the type of training in detail).

Students response

Something in human nature causes us to start slacking off at our moment of greatest accomplishment. As you become successful, you will need a great deal of self-discipline not to lose your sense of balance, humility, and commitment,” (Bush, G.W, 2019). People tend to settle once they have achieved a little part of success and miss out on bigger success. People must continue to be sle motivated to continue to reach their goals and desires of success. John dedicated 20 years to Telco, and after 20 years, an underlying disease has affected his performance at work.  

John has not just worked at Telco for 20 years, he has dedicated 20 years of his life to Telco. Telco has seen John highs and his lows, his bad and his goods so they should be able to understand what John is going through. John has been diagnosed with Diabetes and it has impacted his ability to perform at work. However, we do not know what kind of job John has and how his job affects Telco and other employees. At the end of the day, most companies are a for profit company and any mistake or leave of absence may cause hardship to them. In the John situation, Telco would need to evaluate the situation and attempt to accommodate John without causing a financial hardship to Telco. In Atkins v. Salazar, a 2011 Fifth Circuit case, similar situation was presented, however, we do not know the extent of how John is being affected bedside his performance and absence, but more information should be collected and find a common ground before telco decides to fire John. In Atkins case, his accommodation to Salaza where his accommodations would push the NPS in a financial hardship resulting in a demotion to Atkins following that Atkins diabetes impaired his performance as a park ranger.

Before John is layed of and then he retaliates with filing a case under the ADA act, Telco must attempt to accommodate him to prevent him from being sued by John. In addition, If John decides no to co-operated and leaves the company willingly, then Telco will not be liable for his actions.

 Write about what project management means to you.  Use references if would be great from  
Fundamentals of Project Management 5th Edition, Joseph Heagney 

Your company promoted you to a management position in a new research facility in India. Surprisingly, you have adjusted to the new culture, language, and city, despite never having lived outside the country before. You arrive to work early to get a jump start on your day and notice on the payroll report that there are a few employees who have taken an occasional three-day weekend. None of the employees have taken a full week off, however. You know from previous management training classes that overworked employees are more prone to stress-related health issues and less safe at work. You must also consider the company’s bottom line. You want your employees to take more time off work to enjoy time with friends and family, but how? Please respond to the following questions:

• Which motivational theory or theories do you think would help communicate the importance of vacation time to your employees?
• How would you convince your employees that taking time off work is more beneficial in the long run for them and for the company?
