Discussion

Post a question based on an article, book, video, podcast, or any other current (less than 4 years old) material relevant to the current unit’s key topic. You are encouraged to use the Park course library to find an article.  The article must support a business case for HR management. Each student must post a question based on their article no later than Tuesday of each week in order to receive full discussion points. If you miss the Tuesday deadline ten percent will be deducted from the final discussion grade for the week. The Tuesday deadline enhances the discussion area and provides others with an opportunity to comment on your posts. 

Each student must also respond (reply) to at least two other student’s posted questions, a student’s response to a question, or to instructor input.  Two peer responses are due each week.

All initial questions input must be accompanied by a summary of the selected article. There is no length requirement for the question. However, the question must be comprehensive (a summary analysis of the key article points followed by a question that cannot be answered with a simple yes or no response. The peer responses are required to be comprehensive and clearly state your reason for agreeing or disagreeing with the post in a professional manner. Peer responses are not just short responses like: “I agree.”  Peer responses must include data or other information that makes an HR business case for the response (with at least one source for support).

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

PAR Level Exercise

 

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:
