Assume that a person has strong political preferences for a particular political party, and many of her friends possess similar views. If she administered a political survey on her Facebook page, how valid do you think her findings would be? What are your thoughts on using social media for sampling? ANSWER THE ABOVE QUESTION AND THEN REPLY TO MY CLASSMATE RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE QUESTIONS AND EXPLAIN WHY YOU AGREE? (A MINIMUM OF 125 WORDS or MORE) CLASSMATE’S POST Let me start off by saying that I personally don't believe a person's personal political beliefs should be discussed on social media. Unless, of course, that person is looking for a heated debate that may result in being unfollowed or unfriended. I've seen it first hand where political posts and discussions on social media get out of hand and people's feelings get hurt. In the event a person were to administer a political survey amongst friends that share the same political views, I do not believe that she would have a valid outcome because the people with similar views would got into the survey with a closed mind. Using social media as a platform for surveys has its' pros and cons. I feel that social media should be used sparingly, depending on what the survey is trying to determine. If the survey is a simple one such as determining what laundry detergent a family uses, then yes. But if the survey is to determine more debatable information such as a person's political beliefs or religious preferences, then no. Surveys involving more intense subject topics should be conducted in a more controlled environment. ...

Assignment 1: Discussion - Separation and Retention This assignment is designed to integrate the reflection of personal experience, and the information covered in the textbook. Using what you have learned about Juanita, answer the following questions: Should Juanita attempt to reduce voluntary and involuntary turnover? A risk of disciplining employees is that some may retaliate. To avoid that risk, what organizational policies might encourage high-performing employees to stay while encouraging low-performing employees to leave? To what extent are exit interviews meaningful and what kind of opinions should you attempt to capture? How are these opinions relevant to employee separation and retention? By Saturday, August 15, 2015 submit your response to the appropriate Discussion Area . Use the same Discussion Area to comment on your classmates' submissions and continue the discussion until Wednesday, August 19, 2015 . Comment on how your classmates would address differing views. When Juanita visited with Melissa, the previous HR manager, she felt Melissa was a bit evasive on issues like hiring, firing, and retaining employees and volunteers. It is Day 6 since her hire start date and already she has received two notices of resignation from key personnel. She was hoping that she could analyze the situation before trying to implement solutions. But, Rich, her boss, is applying a lot of pressure because his boss seems to be applying pressure on him. Although she did not know the two people very well, she did conduct exit interviews. Much of what she was told fit with what she sensed about training and development, compensation, recognition, and career development. Both individuals seemed genuinely committed to the mission of the organization, but expressed frustration with people they work with due to their incompetence and also with the organization, due to its unwillingness to invest in its employees. As Juanita considers a short-term strategy she considers that it may be best in the short-term to voluntarily separate individuals who are unwilling to perform and replace them with new hires who exhibit an interest in development. As she considers the implications she is certain she will get significant “push back” from Rich and other more tenured managers. Plus, she knows that the organization falls under some federal guidelines for what they can and cannot do. In preparation for making this issue a priority with an actionable tactical plan, she knows she must be fair, above reproach, and demonstrate grace in order to preserve the dignity of the workers and to attempt to build a system of accountability. As part of Juanita’s plan to revise her organizations hiring and retention practices she decides to focus on issues that could differentiate their organization from others that have a similar mission. From her interviews she has learned that most employees who voluntarily separate move to other humanitarian organizations that include empl.
