associated. You will need to provide some level of detail of
your organization. Use your general knowledge, coursework,
and research to accomplish this.
Even though you are required to provide general organizational
details, your primary function is human resources. Analyze
based on this premise.
Assume that a core group of managers and employees
(approximately 250) are already in place.
Your organization can produce a product or perform a service.

interview questions . A discussion and analysis of why and how
you developed these tools must be included in the paper. Best
practices based on the research and your text should be
discussed.
Compensation and Benefits: Include the compensation package
for each position. A discussion and analysis of why and how
you developed these tools must be included in the paper. Best
practices based on the research and your text should be
discussed.
Performance Management: Include a performance appraisal and
management system.A discussion and analysis of why and how

Write a research paper in which you address the training and development functions of a selected organization, based on information you have gathered and analyzed about the organization. Training is one of the key elements that helps produce a competitive workforce. Training can help an organization communicate policies and procedures as well as educate employees on key processes related to their positions. Orientation, for example, can help introduce an organization to new employees. Training can take many forms, including classroom, online, and one-on-one mentoring. Though training budgets are often the first item to be reduced or eliminated during challenging economic conditions, leaders must look at the cost of not doing training.

Contemporary theatre, both commercial and non-commercial, has seen a huge increase in diversity -- diversity among playwrights and their plays, actors, directors, designers and theatre practitioners. Diverse artists have always shown themselves to be an integral part of theatre and theatre history, though in contemporary theatre they are sometimes referred to “artists of a diverse background” instead of just theatre artists. These artists come from a selection of groups, cultures and categories including, but not limited by: Gender-Specific (i.e. Female) Native American Hispanic African-American Asian-American Gay and Lesbian and others This assignment requires you to... select one person (playwright, actor, designer, etc.) from the groups listed above explore, prepare and discuss his or her historical, social and cultural importance to what we call “diverse contemporary theatre” today (the focus here is on theatre not their impact to film, television or music) Create your response, in the Assignment submission box below (not in the Comments field), as a journal or diary entry. This response will not be read by your fellow classmates. The journal should be 1-2 pages long, approximately 400-500 words minimum.

Contemporary prison overcrowding: short-term fixes to a perpetual problem James M.A. Pittsa, O. Hayden Griffin, IIIb* and W. Wesley Johnsona aUniversity of Southern Mississippi, Hattiesburg, MS, USA; bUniversity of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL, USA (Received 6 February 2013; accepted 8 June 2013) Since the United States began using incarceration as its cornerstone of punishment for those who transgress the law, this method of discipline has been fraught with problems. One of the most ubiquitous problems found within correctional institutions are the conditions inmates are forced to live in particularly, when penal facilities are overcrowded. These conditions have led to extensive litigation, compelling the judicial system to change. Although overall conditions have improved, a perpetually increasing inmate population continues to plague correctional systems as costs continue to rise. As state budgets have become strained during the economic downturns, many states’ officials view less punitive measures as possible solutions to the excessive costs of administering punishment and overcrowded inmate populations. Due to facility overcrowding, several states have actually been placed under federal court order to reduce their inmate population in order to protect inmates’ constitutional rights. Although this has resulted in a change of policies to help alleviate prison overcrowding, there is little evidence these are anything more than short-term fixes to a problem with no end in sight. Keywords: prison overcrowding; inmate population; sentencing; corrections policy Introduction In the United States, like many other affluent nations, law has become the blueprint by which society is governed. The concept of punishment is typically connected to or associated with the law, and usually follows as a consequence of non-compliance with those directives. As such, the means by which a society administers punishment is often thoroughly scrutinized to insure fairness and efficiency in obtaining justice. Incarceration has been the dominant form of punishment in American society for serious crimes (Ross, 2010; Verro, 2010). In fact, some would argue that incarceration has been overused to such a degree that it constitutes an inefficient use of resources. In recent years, many states have become fiscally strained as the practice of mass incarceration has come under increased criticism (Ekland-Olson, Barrick, & Cohen, 1983; Harris, 1991; Lucken, 2011; Nagel 1977).

Contemporary Issues Team B PSY/480 Clinical Psychology Title Page 1 Contemporary Issues in Clinical Psychology Changes in Family Structure Divorce Remarriage: step-parent, step-children and step-sibling(s) Death: parent or sibling Birth: new baby or grandchild Cultural Diversity Discrimination Oppression Stereotyping When someone seeks out a psychologist for assistance in overcoming issues related to a change in their familial structure or because of racial or ethnic discrimination, the psychologist should be experienced in the particular challenges this patient is facing. Clinical psychology has had to develop new ways to treat these patients as previous strategies were not as beneficial as they could be. Clinical psychologists also needed to evolve as psychology did so that they have the knowledge and experience to assist patients in these particular situations. 2 Changes to Family Structure Separation Divorce As time continues to go on, the American family is not what is once was. Over the last 50 years there has been a dramatic rise in divorce; the highest it has ever been in the U.S. Divorce affects all types of marriages, whether it a heterosexual couples, blended couples, and even homosexual couples. “This marks a shift away from the ideal of the companion marriage popularized in the early 1920’s to self-aspiration, enhanced freedom, and egalitarian relationships” (Castelloe, 2011). Since the 1960’s the rate of divorce and separation has risen because of the fact that “society has become more inclusive and women more financially independent, resulting in increased tension in marriages between individualization and what psychoanalyst Erik Erickson described as “generativity,” a concern for the welfare of others” (Castelloe, 2011). 3 Population Most Affected Not one race, ethnicity, culture. High Conflict Financially Unstable Children of Divorce Divorce is not exactly privy to one specific culture or ethnicity; many people of all races become separated or divorced. Since 1970, the rate of divorce, at 72%, has declined to 59% (Friedman, n.d.). Jeffrey Drew conducted a study in 2009 on couples who argued about finances. He concluded that couples who argued about finances more than once a week were more than 30% likely to get divorced than couples who argue about it only a few times a month. “According to Drew, couples who disagree about money less than once per month run a 30-40% increase in the risk of divorce” (Divorce Source, 1996). The rate of divorce ultimately increases as the arguments become more often, several times a week, daily; the risk increases 125% to 160% (Divorce Source, 1996). It is believed that children who come from a separated family or divorced family are going to be two times more likely to get divorced than a child whose parents remained together (Castelloe, 2011). 4 Family Structure changes and its effect on Psychology Children Men Women Psychology is greatly effected by chang.

Consumer Brand Metrics Q3 2015 Eater Archetypes: Brand usage and preferences by consumer segment The restaurant industry has long relied on demographic factors to identify and prioritize consumer groups. For example, many brands currently obsess over attracting Millennials—some without pausing to consider the variations among consumers within this demographic cohort. In addition to life stages, consumer attitudes about health, value, convenience and the overall role of foodservice in their lives drive significant differences in preferences and behavior. With these distinctions in mind, we have updated the Consumer Brand Metrics (CBM) survey with questions that allow us to segment consumers into one of seven Eater Archetypes. Each segment has a distinct psychographic profile, which is outlined in our recent Consumer Foodservice Landscape. Accordingly, their patronage of the segments and brands tracked in CBM varies. This paper explores some differences we can discern after the initial quarterly results, including the archetypes’ segment usage, brand patronage and occasion dynamics. Examining CBM data by Eater Archetype reveals nuances that complement a demographic profile of a chain’s guests. By Colleen Rothman, Manager, Consumer Insights To learn more about the Consumer Brand Metrics program or to sign up for future Spotlight by Consumer Brand Metrics white papers, please contact Bart Henyan, Senior Marketing Manager, at [email protected] Consumer Brand Metrics Q3 2015 Segmenting consumers by psychographic factors, rather than just demographic characteristics, can lead to a better understanding of the consumers that matter to your brand and how to appeal to them. Key Takeaways Busy Balancers and Functional Eaters drive usage across restaurants and convenience stores. Full-service restaurant (FSR) operators may also consider targeting Foodservice Hobbyists and Affluent Socializers, as these archetypes comprise more than a quarter of FSR patrons, on average. How does foodser vice segment usage vary by archetype? Driven by unique needs and motivations, Eater Archetypes gravitate to a wide variety of brands. For example, McDonald’s, Burger King and Whataburger each disproportionately attract unique archetypes (Habitual Matures, Bargain Hunters and Functional Eaters, respectively). Which chains do each archetype visit most frequently? Archetypes that patronize the same restaurant may not use the brand the same way. For example, usage varies by daypart, with afternoon snacks skewing to Busy Balancers and late-night meals driven by Functional Eaters. Archetypes also diverge in their party composition, as visits with children skew to Busy Balancers. Which archetypes drive specific occasions?
