Assignment Details

The purpose of this assignment is to give you a better understanding of how personnel data are managed. You will compose a 1,2001,500-word report that discusses the type of documentation kept in your employee file, what legislation governs how long your files are kept, and how they are grouped together.

Your research will be based on information garnered from the following source of information:

• Your current workplace. You will need to contact the HR office or your immediate supervisor for this assignment. If you are currently unemployed, you can contact a previous employer.
• If neither of these is an option, you can contact a company that you are familiar with in your local market and request this type of information from the HR office.
  • Note: Another excellent source of information is your local Small Business Organization, which can be located at their Web site: .

Your report will include the following:

• Construct a guide that lists what documents are kept in your employee file (please note that these are general documents, such as employee appraisals and sick leave requests).
• Provide information highlighting which documents are filed together and which are located in separate files.
• Include the length of time that material is saved and the duration that files must be retained before they can be disposed.
• Be sure to include the state and federal regulations guiding file management and retention.

This week we’re focused on group  communication. Think of a problem encountered in the past by a group of  which you are or were a member. Begin your analysis by defining the  group. What type of group was it? At what stage of development was the  group? And then share your thoughts about how the group communicated to  solve the problem.

Use the Seven-Step Framework  we learned about this week and identify which step(s) the group  utilized in their resolution efforts. Do you think that if the group  followed the full seven-step framework, resolution would have been  quicker or less contentious? Develop and post your analysis and then  share thoughtful comments on two classmate’s ideas. 

Double spaced. Include bibliography with sources sited in the body of the paper 15-18 pages. Include abstract 

Discuss the Me too movement that has been going on and the importance of recording keeping in the work place. Compare the light that has been shined on this movement now than back then. 

1) Briefly name four of the key assumptions that shape current mainstream economic theory, the foundation for the conservative and liberal policy perspectives on economies (see VOTE textbook chapter 4). (2)

2) In the broad overview version we have seen, what role for government would a conservative position for this role allow? Briefly address two of the factors we have identified, and discuss why they are important under the conservative perspective. (3)

3) Briefly explain two of the examples of positive and desirable characteristics of capitalist systems put forward by their supporters. (4)

4) Given the assumptions about scarcity and about individuals, their role in economies, and the functioning of markets, why are markets good solution tools for problems from the conservative / liberal perspective? Where can we find an example for a difference between these two perspectives? (4)

5) Briefly name three of the key assumptions that shape the radical policy perspectives on economies. (2)

6) From the radical perspective, how is the question What to produce? answered? (2)

7) In contrast, how is the question What to produce? answered from a conservative / liberal perspective, and why is it answered that way? (3)

8) Using the Six-Core Cube Guide introduced in chapter 5 of the VOTE textbook, assess the following problem. (Remember the radical perspective lies behind this cube, and is used to from that perspective identify the problematic aspects of a situation that are brought about by agents in a capitalist system, and offers an alternative approach for a solution based on the radical perspective.) (4)

When it comes to health care coverage, we estimate that about 85 million people in the United States are uninsured or underinsured.

9) Using the Six-Core Cube Guide introduced in chapter 5 of the VOTE textbook, assess the following problem. (Remember the radical perspective lies behind this cube, and is used to from that perspective identify the problematic aspects of a situation that are brought about by agents in a capitalist system, and offers an alternative approach for a solution based on the radical perspective.) (4)

Earth just had its hottest January in recorded history

10) What might a conservative / liberal position, what might a radical position suggest for the direction of technological change? (2)

(This is an open question. Just stay consistent with the assumptions behind those policy positions as they are presented in chapters 4 and 5 of the VOTE textbook that you find in the files reading material folder on canvas. Slide sets 9 and 10.)

In 2004, Marianne Bertrand and Sendhil Mullainathan conducted an experiment in which they sent fake resumes out to hundreds of real open job postings. These resumes were identical except for one controlhalf the fictional applicants names were African American-sounding and half were White-sounding. They found that the white names got 50 percent more callbacks for interviews across all industries and job types, suggesting the presence of racial bias or subconscious attitude formation and stereotyping. Over a decade later, employment discrimination, police bias toward certain groups, and discriminatory housing or financial policies are still at the forefront of current affairs.

For this Discussion, you examine an experience with racial or ethnic bias that you or someone you know has had. As a human and social services professional, drawing awareness to these experiences and your reactions to them may help you begin the process of bringing ethical decision-making sensibilities to culturally or racially sensitive issues, a topic you continue to explore throughout the course.

To Prepare:

• Review this weeks readings, focusing on any implications of your lived experiences with racial or ethnic bias toward clients in your professional area of interest.
• Select a personal experience from your community or workplace related to racial or ethnic bias that you or someone you know has had.
• Reflect on how you handled the situation you selected and whether you would address it differently if you could.

By Day 4

Post a description of the experience you selected. Next, explain how you addressed the bias at the time. Finally, now that you have had time to reflect and consider the situation, explain whether you would have addressed it differently. If so, how? If not, why?
