cheryllwashburn

Review the 12 principles presented by Hardina et al. Hardina et al. ( 2007 ) suggest that an “empowering approach” to social service management is characterized by the following basic principles: Empowerment-oriented organizations create formal structures to support the participation of clients in organizational decision-making ... Empowerment-oriented organizations create partnerships with program beneficiaries in which all parties (clients, staff, and board members) are equal participants ... The purpose of client involvement in service delivery is to decrease personal feelings of powerlessness and to improve the quality of, and access to, services ... Empowerment-oriented organizations explicitly develop policies, programs, and procedures that can be used to bridge cultural, ethnic, gender, and other demographic barriers to effective service delivery ... Empowerment-oriented organizations have top managers who are ideologically committed to the empowerment of both staff members and program beneficiaries ... Empowerment-oriented organizations engage in specific strategies to increase the psychological empowerment and motivation of workers ... Empowerment-oriented organizations promote the use of team building and collaboration among staff members ... Empowerment-oriented organizations encourage staff to advocate for improvements in services and policies ... Empowerment-oriented management approaches can only produce effective outcomes when a consistent funding base is available to maintain the organization ... Empowerment-oriented organizations involve clients, community constituency groups, and staff members in ongoing evaluation of services and program renewal ... Empowerment-oriented organizations act to increase their own political power as well as the political influence of program beneficiaries ... Empowerment-oriented organizations acknowledge the limitations of participatory management approaches and take proactive measures to balance inclusion in decision-making with tasks associated with organizational maintenance ... (pp. 12–16) These principles are especially important if the organization’s consumers are drawn from populations that are marginalized and disempowered. Of course it is important to meet the urgent needs of people who face multiple sources of oppression and multiple traumas. It may be even more important, however, to make sure that help is provided in a way that is respectful and empowering. Diaz-LaPlante ( 2010 ) describes an experience of building community mental health program in Haiti after a major earthquake brought untold devastation. Under the assumption that “mental health is a human right,” Diaz-LaPlante and her colleagues sought to build a responsive, community-based mental health program that would be seen as desirable and important by people who had no words for “mental health” in their Creole language.

HRM plays a key role in organizational effectiveness. It does so through establishing goals and vision, implementing processes like training and compensation, and engaging employees. Measuring effectiveness can be complex, using models like assessing goals, resources, processes, and stakeholder satisfaction. HRM contributes by developing workforce capabilities through practices like recruitment, performance management, and rewards. This helps drive key performance areas and ultimately organizational objectives, leading to successful firms.

Review the performance dashboard for a health care organization,

DioneWang844

Review the performance dashboard for a health care organization, as well as relevant local, state, and federal laws and policies. Then, write a report for senior leaders in the organization that communicates your analysis and evaluation of the current state of organizational performance, including a recommended metric to target for improvement. Introduction Note: Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented. In the era of health care reform, many of the laws and policies set by government at the local, state, and federal levels have specific performance benchmarks related to care delivery outcomes that organizations must achieve. It is critical for organizational success that the interprofessional care team is able to understand reports and dashboards that display the metrics related to performance and compliance benchmarks. Maintaining standards and promoting quality in modern health care are crucial, not only for the care of patients, but also for the continuing success and financial viability of health care organizations. In the era of health care reform, health care leaders must understand what quality care entails and how quality in health care connects to the standards set by relevant federal, state, and local laws and policies. An understanding of relevant benchmarks that result from these laws and policies, and how they relate to quality care and regulatory standards, is also vitally important. Health care is a dynamic, complex, and heavily regulated industry. For this reason, you will be expected to constantly scan the external environment for emerging laws, new regulations, and changing industry standards. You may discover that as new policies are enacted into law, ambiguity in interpretation of various facets of the law may occur. Sometimes, new laws conflict with preexisting laws and regulations, or unexpected implementation issues arise, which may warrant further clarification from lawmakers. Adding partisan politics and social media to the mix can further complicate understanding of the process and buy in from stakeholders. How many health care laws can you name that affect your practice in your current or future workplace? How do they impact your daily work? How many regulatory agencies oversee the types of services your health care organization provides? Which regulatory agencies apply to your workplace setting? Are you familiar with the process of complying with those agencies in order to maintain certification? You might be overwhelmed as you consider these broad questions. Demonstration of Proficiency By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria: Competency 1: Analyze the effects of health care policies, laws, and regulations on organizations, interprofessional teams, and ...

This document discusses several key concepts related to human resource capacity development in the public sector in Africa: 1. HR capacity development has become vital for governments to deliver cost-efficient and quality public services, requiring accurate policies and strategies to identify individuals with the right skills and abilities. 2. Strategies must reflect a vision for improving human resource management while achieving more with less. Public sector HR professionals face challenges in a complex, dynamic environment. 3. Developing human resources requires clarity on needed knowledge, skills, and attitudes aligned with a country's development vision. This involves HR policies, talent management, leadership development, and succession planning.

JOINING FORCESJOINING FORCESJOINING FORCESJOINING FORCESJOINING FORCES A Crosswalk of the Human Services Value Curve with Organizational Culture and Climate By Anthony Hemmelgarn and Phil Basso JOINING FORCESJOINING FORCESJOINING FORCESJOINING FORCESJOINING FORCESJOINING FORCESJOINING FORCESJOINING FORCESJOINING FORCESJOINING FORCESJOINING FORCES Policy & Practice June 201624 A s we evolve in our working partnership with APHSA’s Organizational Effectiveness team and the University of Tennessee’s Center for Behavioral Health Research (CBHR), formerly the Children’s Mental Health Services Research Center, we have discovered great synergy in our respective efforts for supporting agency performance. These include APHSA’s efforts to help agencies progress through stages of the Health and Human Services Value Curve, and CBHR’s efforts to help agencies improve by addressing their organizations’ cultures and climates. The Value Curve is a lens—a way of looking at what we do from the point of view of our consumers—and its four levels represent ways of engaging consumers and their communities that result in greater impact as organizations move up the Value Curve. At the first level, called the regula- tive level, the key word is “integrity.” Consumers receive a product or service that is timely, accurate, cost effective, and easy to understand. Next, at the collaborative level, the key word is “service.” Consumers have an easier time of it when they “walk through a single door” and have access to a more complete array of products and services because programs, and even jurisdictions, are collaborating to make it happen for them. At the integrative level, the key term is “root causes.” Products and services are designed using consumers’ input so that we address their true needs and even begin to reach “upstream” to address causal problems rather than “treating the symptoms.” At the gen- erative level, the key term is “bigger than the family.” Root- cause analysis is done at a “population-wide level,” resulting in prevention strategies and other forms of support broader than those an individual or family would receive directly.1 Organizational culture and climate is another potent lens that human service organizations can use to look at their performance and improve their outcomes. APHSA’s partners at CBHR have been building that case for more than 20 years, demonstrating the substantial impact of organizational culture and climate on the effectiveness of human services.2 Their work demonstrates that: (1) human service agencies vary widely in their organizational culture and climate profiles, (2) agencies with positive profiles have substantially better outcomes, and (3) agencies can improve their turnover, EBP/EBT implementation, client, and other outcomes through strategies that improve their cultures and climates. The CBHR uses its Organizational Social Context Measure .

The case discusses improvements to safety management at Oneida Silversmiths. Oneida adopted an organizational approach to safety that included establishing safety committees, conducting risk assessments, implementing training programs, and tracking safety metrics. This systematic approach led to significant reductions in injuries, from 7.3 injuries per 100 workers to 1, and reductions in lost time incidents from 137 to fewer than 50 per year. The improved safety management contributed to higher efficiency, lower costs from fewer accidents, and an improved public image for Oneida.

The hospital faces high turnover rates for several occupations due to an aggressive competitor offering superior employee benefits and career development programs. These include tuition assistance, fitness programs, daycare, and cafeteria benefits as part of a comprehensive work-life program. Surveys at the hospital show employees feel undervalued and that only doctors and nurses matter. They also receive insufficient career guidance. To address these issues, recommendations will include analyzing the scope of differences between the hospitals' programs, factors and costs to emulate the competitor, challenges that may arise, and how to reduce turnover costs and knowledge loss through new employee experience programs.

(2) The study found that while the model is generally effective, it has some limitations including the limited strategic capabilities of HR business partners, incorrect use of metrics, and lack of line management participation. (3) To address these issues, the study recommends improving HRBP recruitment, using balanced scorecards and key performance indicators to monitor performance, increasing line management involvement, and adjusting the model based on each organization's unique needs.

PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SFK ORGANIZATION .docx

PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SFK ORGANIZATION 1 PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SFK ORGANIZATION 6 Problem Identification and Recommendation for SFK Organization Student’s Name Institution Date Introduction and problem statement From the case, it is apparent that SFK-NY is one of the non-profit organization that is striving a lot to ensure that its mission of empowering the human spirit in every child is achieved. The case indicates that there is a huge gap in the society concerning the human spirit and hence SFK-NY has done its best to fill this gap. However, a closer look at the case reveals that the SFK-NY has not yet achieved its goal or rather its missions and vision. The vision statement for the organization is “One World, Every Child” (Vallas and Sherman, 2012). According to the case, it is stated that the mission of ensuring that the vision “ One World, Every Child” is achieved would only be complete when every child and young adult in the target region has participated in the SFK-YK program (Vallas and Sherman, 2012). This is because for all the children to learn he tools to help them make wise choices that provide them with certainty, happiness, concern for the well-being of others, the organization needs to invest a lot not only in employing personnel but also in expanding their project worldwide. Expanding the program worldwide would need an enormous amount of money. Given that the SFK-YK is a non-profit organization, it means that it does not get capital from the services they offer. This is because they do not charge the beneficiaries for the services they get. The organization, according to the case, depends on donations from individuals, corporations, foundations, groups, clubs, and organization as well as their own fundraising from special events. Despite the fact that the organization gets a lot of assistance from well-wishers and clubs, the organizational Advisory Board and the director argue that their major concern is that SFK is not generating as much revenue through fundraising to support the current operation. They are also concerned that the organization is gaining a lot of popularity and that because of this, it is likely that it may experience massive growth. The board is also claiming that the cost for every student is approximately $300 per program, which is too much because every student needs to finish level 1,2 and even 3 depending on the availability of funding. This essay will support why lack of finance is the major strategic obstacle to the SFK-YK Program. Body and discussion One way in which an organization can achieve its strategic goal is by ensuring that all the factors of production are available and that they are put in proper use. Similarly, SFK-YK, despite offering the best and most popular services, must ensure that the factors of production are in place and that they are being utilized accordingly. Closer look at the case reveals that capital and resour.

Problem Set #2 SCOR470 Fall 2015 Topics Soil water pote.docx

Problem Set #2 SCOR470 Fall 2015 Topics: Soil water potential, unit conversions, soil water content Honor code opportunity- It is required that the work you are turning in is your effort. In addition, you may wish to sign the honor code statement. Declining to sign this statement will not count against you. "I have not given, received, or used any unauthorized assistance." Signature 1. Unit conversions a. You are curious about the matric potential of an air-dried soil. This depends on the relative humidity of the air of course but you find a value of -2.20 x 105 J/Kg in a journal article. Express this in MPa and m. (Note that the permanent wilting point for plants is typically assumed to be -1.5 MPa.) b. You need a value for the osmotic pressure of maple tree sap and find a table in a reliable older reference stating 2.23 x 106 erg/cm3. Convert this to m, ft., and Pa. c. Your grandfather’s WWII submarine could withstand about 1.5 MPa of water pressure. Assuming a saltwater density of 1.03 g/cm3, calculate the crush-depth of the submarine in m and ft. 2. a. Calculate the energy/volume (in J/m3) of water a plant root must overcome to withdraw water laterally from a soil with a matric potential of -15000 cm with an EC of 8 dS/m. b. Assuming 15 oC, calculate the relative humidity in the soil air for the soil in part (a). Note that this soil is near the wilting point for many plants. Helpful information: The EC, electrical conductivity, is a measure of the total dissolved salts in a system. For a wide range of soils, the following empirical relationship relates the EC of the soil solution to the osmotic pressure (Π) of the solution; Π(bars)= 0.36 x EC (dS/m). The EC unit is decisiemen per meter. 3. Consider a soil profile above a shallow water table: clay loam water table loamy sand loam silt loam 0.40 m 0.30 m 0.15 m 0.20 m Soil surface Suppose the θ(h) in this profile is described by the Brooks-Corey formulation: θ(h) = θS for |h| ≤ |he| θ(h) = (θS -θr)[(he/h) λ] + θr for |h| > |he| Using the parameters in the following table, calculate and plot the equilibrium water content profile, θ(z), from the soil surface to the water table. 4.

Problem descriptionThe Jim Thornton Coffee House chain is .docx

elishaoatway

Problem description The Jim Thornton Coffee House chain is planning expansion into Calgary. It has selected many possible sites for new coffee houses. The possible sites are joined by roads that form a spanning tree. To eliminate competition with itself, the company has determined that it should not choose two sites that are adjacent in this tree. From its market evaluation, the company has also determined the expected profit per year for each site. Your job is to determine what sites Jim Thornton should choose for his coffee houses. a. Define this problem precisely, by defining the required Input and the required Output. Use mathematical notation. b. Write a recursive equation for the function that maximizes the profit per year. Include a short argument that your equation is correct. c. Write an efficient algorithm that computes the maximum profit per year, and also computes the sites that should be chosen. Your algorithm should run in time that is polynomial in the input size. d. What is the asymptotic running time of your algorithm? Defend your answer. Your algorithm and proofs should be precise and concise (as well, of course, as correct.) Elegance of your solution counts. 2 CPSC 413 — Winter, 2013 Home Work Exercise #8 March 16, 2013 1. Exercise 1 Chapter 6, page 312 of the textbook. Answer: (a) A counterexample is given in Figure 1. The given algorithm finds an independent set of weight 8. However, the maximum total weight is 10 by adding the nodes at two ends to the independent set. 5 58 Figure 1: A counterexample to the algorithm of 1(a) (b) A counterexample is given in Figure 2. The given algorithm finds an independent set of weight 11. However, the maximum total weight is 19 by adding the nodes at two ends to the independent set. 10 12 9 Figure 2: A counterexample to the algorithm of 1(b) (c) Input: An array A = (a1, . . . , an) of n integers. (I use “array” rather than “set” here because the elements in a set do not have the notion of order.) Output: A set S = {aα1, . . . , aαm} ⊆ A, which satisfies (1) m∑ i=1 aαi is maximum; (2) ∀i ∈ {1, . . . , m}, ̸ ∃j ∈ {1, . . . , m} s.t. |αi − αj| = 1. Optimization function. Indset[i] denotes the maximum independent set of an array with i positive integers (a1, . . . , ai). Let OPT [i] denote the total weight of Indset[i]. The optimization function is OPT [0] = 0, OPT [1] = max{0, a1}, OPT [i] = { OPT [i − 1] if OPT [i − 1] ≥ OPT [i − 2] + ai OPT [i − 2] + ai otherwise Correctness of the optimization function. It is trivial if n = 0 or 1. When n ≥ 2, there are two cases to be considered. Case 1: Indset[n] includes an. Then Indset[n] must not include an−1. And Indset[n]−{an} must be a maximum independent set of (a1, . . . , an−2). This can be easily verified by a replacement argument. If the statement is not true, then the total weight of Indset[n] − {an} is less than OPT [n − 2]. Then Indset[n − 2] ∪ {an} has total weight larger than Indset[n] does, and this co.

The appraisal process helps management assess this contribution as well as identify areas that need improvement. As a formal process, appraisal is a part of a performance system designed to manage an organizations human resources. The growing complexity of customer, employee and management relationships requires a new leadership paradigm. This is certainly true in today’s highly competitive market place where a premium is placed on the development of human capital. Management of today’s workforce has been made more difficult by the implementation of the contemporary business practices such as downsizing, reengineering, Total Quality Management (TQM), employee empowerment and team performance systems. These changes have altered the dynamics of the traditional management and employee relationships. The increase in layoffs globally has placed organizations in a more complicated position to manage their workforces. Business organizations have continued to develop sophisticated performance management systems to manage their human resources and to identify leaders to sustain growth of the company (Kusluvan, 2003). Employee performance can be improved in many ways. E.

Problem B Regulatory Compliance 1 No.docx

Problem B: Regulatory Compliance 1 Note: All character and company names are fictional and are not intended to depict any actual person or business. Knowing that mergers may require a dramatic change in company culture, you realize that you need to meet with the human resources (HR) and leadership teams because they will play important roles in the merger. The leadership team will drive the change, and the HR team will be charged with managing the change. You have scheduled a meeting with Steve Maine, your vice president at ALTAP consulting, to consult with him on this project. “Thanks for meeting me today, Steve,” you begin. “I need to talk through some of the issues before meeting with the HR and leadership teams at UWEAR and PALEDENIM. The merger is going well, but it is becoming apparent that there are some significant change issues that need to be addressed.” “I’ve heard good things about your work on this project,” Steve answers. “I’m sure you have it under control, but I’ll be happy to help where I can.” “We are dealing with the issues of joining together two very disparate companies,” you explain. “On the one hand, UWEAR is public and has 100 employees; on the other hand, PALEDENIM is private with only 15 employees. They basically provide the same type of service, but they are completely different businesses in how they operate inside and outside of the company.” You continue, “Yes, and both the employees and managers of each company have different philosophies and expectations. PALEDENIM employees and managers have a kind of ‘one-for-all and all-for-one’ attitude. They all chip in to get the job done. The UWEAR employees and managers look at things differently. They’re more apt to do their jobs, get them done, and go home without consideration for what else the rest of the team needs to complete.” “That is definitely a culture issue,” Steve agrees. “In fact, that is the classic definition of a culture issue. I’m sure they’re also dealing with the typical power struggles. I bet everyone is worried about whether their department will be headed by a UWEAR manager or a PALEDENIM manager.” Problem B: Regulatory Compliance 2 “Exactly,” you say. “I know the intention of the merger is to benefit both companies, but there are unintended consequences as well. We need to do whatever we can to help the employees of both companies get through this with the fewest glitches possible.” Analysis Assessing poverty–deforestation links: Evidence from Swat, Pakistan Shaheen Rafi Khan a, Shahrukh Rafi Khan b,⁎ a Sustainable Development Policy Institute, P.

Comment on how this alienation permeates the other arts as it does early twentieth century culture in general. Essay (2) Question 2. Frank Lloyd Wright was one of the most influential architects of the 20th century. Using the images and plans of the Bauhaus and German Pavilion, discuss the importance of Wright for Gropius and Mies. What do their buildings share with the Robie House?

Essay #2 addresses some topic in the broad scope of Transcendentalis.docx

elishaoatway

Essay #2 addresses some topic in the broad scope of Transcendentalism. Essay #2 has similar parameters -- length/outside source requirements, drafting process -- as Essay #1. You are always free to develop your own topic approach within the Transcendentalism topic. Some suggestive options: 1) Analyze Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience" in light of a contemporary example or figure or incident in the tradition of American civil disobedience. 2) Analyze the persuasive and rhetorical strategies of one of the transcendental pieces (or King's "Letter") that we have read. You might look at issues of audience, style, emotional vs./and rational appeal, appeals to history/tradition or rejection of history/tradtion, metaphoric style, tone and so forth. If you deem them successful, why/how do they succeed in arguing their points? What might be points of counterargument or criticism or weaknesses in their approach? Does it work as a piece of argument/writing? 3) Pick one (or several if you feel it's appropriate) key concepts or quotes from a work (or several works) and discuss the concept/quote in terms of how it has evolved or put it in larger context. How have these words taken form in our laws, practice, literature, or culture? Where are the gaps between the great ideals of these writers' words and the reality of their times and/or ours? e.g. How might MLK (in light of his "Letter") feel about the society and civil rights situation we see today? 4) You could pick one, two, or three key themes from any of the works and discuss how the text fleshes out these themes and why they are important to our understanding of the period, or the particular writer, or to transcendentalism as a movement, or to American tradition or literature and so forth. 5) You could pick a theme which runs through several of the texts (for example, something about the role or nature of the individual) and trace it through its different configuration and representations. Essay length: 4-5 pages -- again, I'm always more concerned with minimum than limiting any maximum length. Include outside critical sources. MLA documentation .

Essay # 2 The Tempest Prompt 4-5 pages ( MLA format) Character: The Tempest presents a variety of characters who manipulate each other, raising questions about personal agency and autonomy. How are characters formed as the result of other characters’ direct influence? How might the text mirror our own experiences of identity formation? Perhaps the text suggests that we can never be autonomous individuals due to the ease by which we are influenced by others. Do you agree or disagree with this claim? Be sure to support your position with concrete examples; these examples may come from your personal experience and observations, but you should also use the main text of The Tempest as the basis for each of your claims. (Terms to define in the paper: agency, autonomy, influence) *NOTE: For body paragraph please follow the format of 1.Topic sentence 2.Evidence /example (Text, Personal) 3.Analysis 4.

Erving Goffman is one of the most important sociological thinkers in modern sociology. His biggest contribution to sociology was the dramaturgical lens of viewing social interaction, a theory that he developed by just watching people in their everyday interactions. In the pieces that we read for this class, we talked about these elements of dramaturgy and how they play out in real life.
