My efforts have resulted in huge financial gains, including doubling the revenue of the company in a few short years.
Also serving as Research & Development Head, I helped design and develop courses material to align with the dynamic pattern of other MBA and undergraduate entrance exams in India. These exams include those for BBA, law, and hotel management. To assist with continual delivery of accurate knowledge I also conduct regular sessions on subjects including high-level Algebra, Calculus, and Statistics to name a few. Previous to my role as Business Manager and R&D Head, I co-owned an Agri-Farm in Lucknow. In doing so I learned to monitor and manage operations, negotiate prices with buyers and sellers and assisted with the hiring and payment of temporary labor as needed.

I think that there any many opportunities. There is a lack of quality managerial-level staff across the hospitality industry. This will create job openings that I can exploit. In addition, I believe that there is room for innovative thinkers in this role, since most hotel managers seem to have low creativity. There are threats, however. At present, there is overcapacity in the industry, which could result in consolidation and cuts, reducing my future career development prospects. In addition, there are a number of other people who likely see the same career niche that I do. They will compete with me for employment through my career.
The industry is generally strong. Despite overcapacity issues, people travel more for both business and pleasure. This spurs a strong hotel industry. The economy is not strong and this has had a negative impact on the industry, but the economy is recovering and it is believed…
Career Plan
One of the most galvanizing aspects of this course is how it has shown that personal and group leadership are tightly intertwined and over time create a very unique leadership style. The same concepts of group or team leadership can equally apply to personal leadership and management as well, and this is evident from the strengths and work culture assessments completed. Another aspect of what unifies the lessons learned in this course is how powerful transformational leadership is in the overall development in the influencing of behaviors, outcomes and the long-term financial performance of an enterprise (Charbonneau, 2004). Based on these insights gained, this course has direct applicability to my career plan.
How This Course Applies To My Career Plan

My career objective is to become an achieved sales manager through the use of communication, administrative, and bookkeeping skills.

Manager Competencies
Career Plan Building Activities
There are many aspects to my character that I believe will allow me the resilience necessary to further my career. From my work experience and my education I have developed many insights to organizational issues. An effective manager needs to understand both their professional competencies as well as their limitations. I believe that I will be most effective when I can devote myself to an exciting career. I'm naturally attracted to intellectual stimulation and perpetual challenges. Furthermore, I am also more comfortable in a dynamic and changing landscape that is dynamic in nature.
However, I also realize that it is commonly the case that an employee must do the job that they have to before they can get the job that they want. Although I believe I have realized my ideal job type, I also understand that I must work up to that position. This may require…

Company Organization and Career Plan
The functioning part of any organization needs proper attention and maintenance in order to keep it running smoothly. This means that the organizational structure and the strategies meant increase collaboration and productivity within the work environment must be continually monitored and evaluated in terms of how successful they are within contemporary practice. There are a number of differing strategies on how to approach generating a creative and productive workforce. However, some strategies with greater levels of freedom have been proving most successful in terms of collaboration, innovation, and conflict management.
In order for any organization to function properly, all moving parts of the larger whole must work in unity at one point or another. Yet, the research shows that, "collaboration is difficult, and there are many reasons for this difficulty" (Scull et al., 2010, p 30). Essentially, it is no easy task to get all of the…

Academic Strategies and Career Plans:
The beginning of this undergraduate course in accounting was a relatively definitive moment and hectic period for me. This is primarily because of the need to create a balance between classes, career, family, and friends. The focus of the course is to help students understand and apply the conventional and theoretical principles, frameworks, and models for accounting and financial management. In addition, the undergraduate course focuses on helping students to develop their academic strategies and goals that would help them as they progress into degree programs. The major academic strategies I have gained from this course are study skills, management of time, and planning for the degree course. These strategies are crucial in enhancing student determination, retention, and success in undergraduate and graduate courses ("Academic Strategies," n.d.). As a result, these academic strategies provide essential support to students towards the achievement of educational and career goals.

Hospitality Industry
The economy is made of three major sectors with varying economic activities i.e. agricultural, manufacturing, and service industries. The service industry differs from agricultural and manufacturing sector given that it's a tertiary segment that offers intangible products, which contributes to its consideration as a soft part of the economy. As the name suggests, the service industry basically deals with activities relating to production of services (intangible goods) instead of end products (tangible goods). Services are not only provided to customers but also offered to other businesses depending on the nature of their operations and business needs. Given the broad nature of service, this industry consists of numerous segments including entertainment, hospitality or tourism, public health, education, financial services, information technology, consulting, mass media, waste disposal, professional services, and retail sales. These different segments are some of the major examples of service sector industries, which is very wide because…

Over the next three to five years, my intention is to build up a number of skills, competencies and acquire the knowledge that I will need to set myself up to achieve my long-range vision for myself. That long-range vision is to build an accounting consultancy firm that can help businesses to deal with the challenges associated with doing business in different legal, political, ethical and social environments. This marriage of functional (accounting) with some of the softer skills associated with international business is a compelling proposition. In an era where many skills and talents are being automated – and where artificial intelligence is going to automate many more – I envision the most successful people being the ones who are able to do multiple things. Where an AI can perform a purely functional task, like basic accounting, an AI will not be able to perform tasks as complex and…
I am particularly interested in the students who have challenges, either educationally or behaviorally. I feel that by working to develop new assessment tools it will be possible to further evaluate the skills and abilities for these students which may previously have been unavailable to us. I look forward to working with teachers, parents and students in order to formulate tools which will help students get the most out school.
Educational psychology is an excellent career move for me. I have experience working with children who have autism, high school students, and my personality seemed to be a good fit in what can be a challenging and rewarding environment. I think my current education and work experience melds nicely into my hopes to work in a research capacity, designing evaluations, analyzing and interpreting data and presenting coherent results. While I do not consider myself a linear thinking, I believe that…
In Eric Borden's case, his knowledge of the industry and of the developments that occur on this segment recommends him either for the research and development department or for marketing, since he would be able to ensure that the marketing strategy that the company has is in line with what occurs on the markets. From that perspective, his salary structure could be changed so as to ensure that he receive an increased base salary rather than the sales bonus program he receives now.
In the case of Ving Hsu, his financial package needs to be adjusted, because he currently works as a sales representative, but receives only the base salary, although he is eligible for the sales bonus. However, it seems that much of his activity is focused on training his customers on how to use the products rather than on increasing his volume of sales. A more relevant measure of…
Career counseling is not limited to a particular trade or skill or type of people but includes a wide range of individuals who possess all kinds of skills, passions, and values as well as career motivations. In this paper, we investigate the practical applicability of Super's Developmental Self-Concept Theory-based model for career counseling. This theory or model of counseling encompasses the entire lifespan of an individual and divides it into a number of segments. This paper tries to understand how each of the stages identifies the needs and aspirations of individual clients and sets a benchmark that best suits the needs in every stage. This theory is based on self-concept and hence is applicable at an individual level. The paper also looks into the possible assessment tests for career counseling. Such tests are based on personality or psychology of a client, the interest of that individual and the aptitude of…

Human esources Scenario
The author of this report is asked to respond and answer to a human resources scenario. First off, the author is to propose two strategies that a human resources manager could use to determine if an employee has the specific skill set required to fill a position. Next, the author will select a functional area that will be pursued as part of a wider career strategy. The functional areas to choose from are employment, employee relations, training/development, compensation, benefits and labor relations. The author will specify two skills that are current possessed and two others that will need to be developed as part of being in the chosen career area. The author will provide support for that latter answer. While human resources is a fairly broad field with a lot of directions that one can go career-wise, there are some core skills that any accomplished or prospective human…

To register, sonographers must pass a series of tests proving mastery of ultrasound procedures.
At the same time, sonographers can also receive special training from a variety of different venues including specialized programs ancillary to nursing coursework. The most common means of achieving the required certification is via a two-year Associates degree program ("Medical Sonographer Career and Job Information"). Coursework in specialized sonography programs includes ethical issues in health care as well as instruction in anatomy and physiology. Moreover, sonographers must prove they are able to life, push and pull heavy equipment and should be in general good health ("So You ant to Be a Sonographer").

According to the O-Net Online Summary Report, marriage and family therapists "diagnose and treat mental and emotional disorders, whether cognitive, affective, or behavioral, within the context of marriage and family systems." A systems approach is integral to the work that marriage and family therapists do, because they view individual psychological issues as inseparable from the greater family and social system. This enables a holistic approach to treatment interventions, and can be a culturally sensitive, culturally competent facet of psychological counseling.
The primary tasks of a marriage and family counselor include the following. First, communications skills are of the utmost importance because one of the central roles of the counselor is to listen and ask appropriate questions at the right time. A marriage and family counselor meets with more than one member of each family, too, making good communications skills a prerequisite of the profession.
Second, diagnoses should be based on scientific evidence…

For this reason, contract specialists do not need as rigid a background as, say, a neurologist does. A contract specialist usually develops his or her skills for the job while working for a large organization that engages suppliers in major contractual agreements. Devotion to an organization may precede the decision to become a contract specialist. or, a business student might decide that the communication-oriented nature of contract specialization suits his or her personality. Another person might find that while standard legal careers were disappointing, a career in contract specialization helps bridge the gap between the law, business, and the public sector in ways other occupations cannot possibly do.

Career Possibilities for omen in Philosophy
Philosophy is not a hard science requiring that problems be worked out with formulas and centuries-old givens. The American Philosophical Association says that, "Philosophy is a basic field of inquiry. Its range encompasses ideas and issues in every domain of human existence; and its methods apply to problems of an unlimited variety. The major in philosophy can develop not only philosophical skills and sophistications but also intellectual abilities that are readily applicable to pursuits in everyday social and personal life."
The options open to women in philosophy are nearly endless. Because the study of philosophy develops critical thinking and analytical skills, it provides a background for careers requiring problem-solving, along with the ability to view issues from other perspectives and develop logical arguments with a sensitivity to the values of others. Philosophy can be the starting point for any number of careers. This is verified by…

The U.S. Marshal Service position involves perhaps more dangerous duties than that of the FBI agent. esponsiblities include locating fugitives, going on lengthy assignments that often involve surveillance and stakeouts. Accordingly, essential skills include patience. It is also noted that agents working for the U.S. Marshal Service should be experienced, organized writers who can efficiently file reports. The video also noted that those with experience in law enforcement stand a greater chance of getting hired.
My qualifications for the U.S. Marshal Service position are similar to my strengths regarding the FBI agent position. I am an accomplished, lucid writer and my strong physical build would assist me when engaged on dangerous assignments. Additionally, my itinerant upbringing makes me uniquely qualified for extended, two-week assignments. Although I do not have experience in law enforcement, I feel my skills in other areas more than compensate for this particular deficit.

"Why a company should hire you as a personnel, operations, deployment manager."
I believe that I would be an excellent candidate for a deployment manager because of my extraordinary combination of experience, education, and acumen. I have been exposed to a variety of high-pressure situations and have always handled myself in a diligent and professional manner. I have experience as a program integrator and deployment manager, a deployment readiness officer and logistical coordinator, a central issue manager, and a deployment mission manger. All of these positions have provided an environment in which I have been able to fine tune many of the skills that are needed to fulfill a personnel, operations, and deployment manager.

The IDP is a focus on the needs and career aspirations of the employee, but should be considered a strategic tool not only for the employee to realise their ambitions, but also for the employer, who will benefit from the implementation of the plan. Not only will the employer benefit from the additional skills and knowledge gained by the employees that they can use in the workplace, the provision of the support, longer training development will also support motivation (Buchanan and Huczynski, 2011).

career interest is accounting. Accountancy is the process of evaluating the financial information about business entities to users such as the managers of the shareholders (Elliot, & Elliot, 2004). Accountancy falls into three areas: accounting, bookkeeping, and auditing.
I choose accounting since it will give me a solid employment with a lucrative wage and this is what is important to me. I have also learned that it can be fun in the investigative way if I se it as such. The work conditions are fine -- not too tedious and best of all I can structure them at my convenience. I can work either for an institution or be self-employed. Chances for advancement also depend on myself and, best of all, I can find global opportunities in any and every business..

Frankl eventually came to the conclusion that people derive meaning from their lives as either as result of their suffering, their ability to love another, and their work (Frankl, 1985).

Professional Plans and Career Objectives
Goal Statement for Insert Name
My career mission is to work in a dynamic team-oriented company performing financial analysis and helping to guide key decisions related financial projections that direct capital expenditures. I enjoy the mechanics of small details and insuring compliance to specific budgets, report types and the impact that this type of granularity has on recommendations for major decisions within a company.
My pre-college work experience taught me the differences between customer service, labor, and accounting and finance. The hands-on work I performed in a service industry provided me with an appreciation for customers and the need to efficiently do a good job but this type of career left me without a sense of challenge. Eventually I felt drawn to the back office as I learned that the payments and processing and efficient entry of data surrounding transactions was the lifeblood of the business. Eventual work…
It is the role of the career counselor to work with the diverse populations and help guide them to success through building their confidence in their abilities.
Conclusion
Career counseling is a profession in which the counselors have an impact on the national workforce and its direction, though many professional counseling majors in college ignore career counseling as a potential career. As the world continues to diversify and globalize the impact career counselors have on society will continue to expand.

This Personal Marketing Plan (PMP) will guide me on the areas I need to focus more as far as my career is concerned.
I am an American resident having completed all my studies here. Throughout my elementary and secondary years, I held various positions such as class representative. Later, I got an admission in the University and since I was inclined to the commerce side, I opted to major in management. After completing this course, I intend to sort out today's market needs and the employment opportunities just within the country (Herrick 50). My belief is that improvement and continuous innovation are the keys for competing in the currently challenging market. I have done extensive research about…
My notable contributions in this capacity include obtaining investment funding and sponsorships, securing a co-production partnership with Storm 360, a leading West African entertainment company, and forging media partnerships with HiTV, Silverbird TV, NN24, and BusinessDay among others. In addition, I established and implemented overall business objectives of becoming a world-class production and broadcast company offering international broadcast content to strengthen the spirit of enterprise and human development throughout Africa and across the globe. Furthermore, I played an integral role in representing company in key business negotiations.
Further, I also played a pivotal leadership role in winning various team-based tasks, including developing and marketing a new fast-food chicken entree for Chicken Republic, planning and executing a hotel redecoration project at Eko Hotel & Suites, presenting a route to market's strategy for West Africa's largest cell phone provider, Celtel, and formulating a marketing strategy for a new energy drink for Nigeria's…
career in architecture actually began when I was a child, when with wonder-filled eyes I beheld the designs and finished plans both my parents produced. My father is an architect, the principal in his own company. My mother is a painter and the owner of an interior design firm. Both of my parents' passion for their work inspired me to pursue a career along the same path.
Throughout high school and college, I sought personal, academic, and professional means by which to manifest my dreams, such as taking any courses that were relevant to the field. Because of both school and my parents' presence in my life, professional resources were plentiful for me. I have plenty of visual images imprinted my mind as a result, too. Therefore, my eventual decision to pursue architecture in college naturally stemmed from my early experiences and passion for creativity, form, and function.

I, actually, was quite vague about the term Information Literacy and Research (ILR) and did not consider myself needing the instruction. Until now, I had thought that if I would need certain information, I would simply type it into the browser (if using the Internet) or withdraw some book from the library. I think I was also not particularly discriminatory in my sources. The author who had a PhD following his name was preferable to me, but otherwise I followed that which appealed to me and, as I later discovered, most…

The task is to teach the students about the commercial fishing impact on the seal population in the ANW area. Completion would be determined by the students showing a good understanding of what all is going on.
The students, given that they are in a biology class, should have an understanding of animals and life forms like seals and the fish that are being harvested in ANW
esources that could/would be available include DVD movies, streaming movies, text books, visual diagrams and charts, etc.
Information that should be included would be what is involved in the fishing process in ANW and places like it, why seals are endangered and impacted by that activity and so forth.
An appealing way to teach the students would be to appeal to how "cute" the seals are and/or why the impact to them can be mitigated or avoided
The best methods would be interactive media such as computer…

Introduction Comment by babyliza: This part discusses the qualities of a good leader. I believe it should discuss the qualities of an individual's effectiveness, both in personal and professional life. Not a leader, so it's out of topic.
Just like the lions and the bees, human are social beings and live in communities sometimes small or large. Daily, we relate one way or another with each other either at home or at our places of work. Irrespective of the form of communication employed, either in person or via phones or emails, our communication and method of relating with other people has an impression on them either positively or otherwise. To this effect, there are certain skills that everyone should become proficient at so as to sustain healthy relationships and perform tasks more quickly; these skills are referred to as the Interaction Essentials. They are very helpful in the…

Actuaries
The Jobs ated Almanac has printed five editions from 1998 to 2001 (Society of Actuaries, n.d.). In two of these editions, "actuary" was rated as the best career in terms of environment, income, employment, outlook, physical demands, security, and stress. In two other editions, "actuary" was rated as the second best career. In only one other edition was it rated fourth. The data used to calculate these findings came from trade association and industry group studies, as well as government sources such as the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Bureau of Labour and Statistics. In addition, Actuaries were rated number six by PayScale.com in terms of highest salary (Braverman & Jeffries, 2009). The average actuary makes around $129,000 a year and a top actuary make around $257,000. This paper will further explore the role and purpose of an actuary, the use of mathematics within this career, and how it…

Timeline for Professional and Personal Growth Nurse Practitioner (NP) role is one of the specialties in advanced practice nursing and has experienced an increase in demand because of the shortage of nursing (Hamric, Tracy & Hanson, 2013). The growth of the NP role in the modern advanced practice nursing field is also attributable to the increased demand in primary care services. Given the increased demand of these practitioners, the nursing education field is increasingly encouraging more individuals to enroll for nurse practitioner roles. However, for an individual to become an accomplished nurse practitioner, he/she has to undergo or navigate a complex process to become a full-fledged practicing nurse practitioner (Luckey, 2018). Therefore, the individual needs to have a clear timeline for professional and personal growth as he/she enters the world of advanced practice nurse. This paper provides my timeline for professional and personal growth as a nurse practitioner in today’s healthcare…
However, he needs to include time in his day to address long-range management objectives, as well as deal with the inevitable problems that come up over the course of an ordinary workday. Also, he needs to schedule different, less important events on different days than his more important events. In the day described in his scenario, too many things were slotted into his schedule to cope with over a single day. Then, when additional problems began to emerge, he was unable to cope with them effectively. Sam was evidently so overwhelmed that he did not even realize equally pressing problems that had come up, like the confidential employee files that were exposed. This is another persistent concern that should be addressed, and slotted into his long-range plans.

Directing a teenage girl with a young child to programs that can help her complete high school and gain financial assistance to survive and feed her toddler requires knowledge of the social safety net available that clients themselves often lack. The soul of the profession is one which balances compassion, clear-sighted reason, and a motivation to take immediate and productive steps for change. The soul of the profession is to offer compassion, effective and informed assistance without judgment.
Preparing for the profession thus begins with gaining an academic degree. But it also requires seeking out real-world situations through volunteering to learn more about the world. Having the critical and open mindset that is necessary for the profession is reinforced by seeking out books, newspapers, and other sources of information about the world and the challenges my clients may encounter. Taking a course in introductory social work is important because it…

As evident in previous analysis, environmental and social sustainability is wide given the varying components of this profession.

Hourly nursing rounding is regarded as one of the most suitable means for enhancing patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes. This process can be described as a proactive, systematic nurse-centered evidence-based intervention to predict and deal with the various needs in hospitalized patients. There is sufficient evidence to demonstrate that effective hourly nursing rounding can enhance patient safety, promote team communication, and enhance the capability of staff to offer efficient patient care. Therefore, this approach would be a suitable method to help reduce falls, prevent ulcers, and call light use and result in enhanced patient satisfaction through evidence-based practices. The adoption of this method in the organization to improve patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes would require the development of a comprehensive implementation plan and participation from all key stakeholders.

During these meetings, it is necessary to align my coaching objectives with both the business and the career goals of the employees. I can directly address the challenge of solving problems for employees without allowing them to do so first by utilizing appreciative questions that requires them to search for applicable solutions. In the event that they cannot I can provide solutions for them. I can directly address the challenge of my avoiding conflict by farming conflict in a beneficial manner which reinforces the positives in the situation, both internally and externally. I can also actively promote the virtues of emotional intelligence from an internal and external perspective to actively reduce the incidence and severity of conflict.

Competency Development Plan
First, a little bit about myself. I am a qualified electrical mechanic and I am currently working as an Electrical Maintainer for J&P Richardson Industries in Wacol, Qld. I have been in this capacity for the past eight years. I have come to the conclusion that it is time to take the next step in my career development. For me, that includes seeking out progressive positions, but it also entails upgrading my education. I am seeking a Certificate IV in Instrumentation in order to facilitate my personal growth.
I began my career in Germany, where I apprenticed at a large commercial and industrial services company called Elektro Technik Niesky GmbH, in the town of Niesky in the far East of the country. I stayed there for seven years, finally leaving in 2001 to pursue more advanced opportunities in Australia. I first began work with Stevan Advanced Electrical in Brisbane.…
Qualified Benefit Plans

Employers sometimes offer their employees and other beneficiaries within the organization retirement plans which they sponsor. These are often referred to as qualified plans. These qualified plans are either established as defined benefit plans or defined contribution plans. When established as defined benefit plans, the employee receives benefits on a formula that factors in personal factors such as the employee's salary history and the duration of contract or employment. In these plans, the risk of investment and management of the portfolio is run by the employer. In these schemes, the employer sometimes has to find funds from alternative sources such as the company's profits in order to fund employee's retirement when there is a shortfall in funding. The other type of qualified plans is the…

In terms of the flexible working schedules, these would take the form of allowing the staff members to work more hours in fewer days or fewer hours, spread across more days. Basically, the 8-hour strict schedule structure would no longer be implemented. The requirement with this incentive is that of ensuring employee collaboration and making sure than when an employee wishes to make use of the flexible working schedule, another staff member is able and willing to replace him. The schedule decisions would generically be subjected to mutual agreements between the staff members, approved by the manager.
The flexible working schedule has the ability to increase employee on the job satisfaction due to the fact that it allows the individual to better balance his personal and professional responsibilities. The individual will not for instance be on the job and worry about a sick child or a parent in need, but he…

Comprehensive Staffing Plan
Engineering and manufacturing requires many individuals who are adept at skilled labor. Additionally, there are unskilled laborers who can also be of use to a company that engineers and manufacturers goods. In a city such as this one, however, there are large challenges, such as a lack of a skilled workforce and many people who are on public assistance. College graduates and professionals are not that common, because many of them leave and move to others areas where high-tech hubs can be found. While the company in question here cannot focus its efforts on stopping that tide of workers who are leaving, there are ways in which it can reach out to and recruit people who have the skills - or are developing the skills - for which the company is looking. That can go a long way toward a company that workers want to consider…

Current Marketing Situation: I am graduating school and entering the workforce. My previous work experience is somewhat limited, mainly to retail work, but I have a solid education from a great school.

The intern wants a great deal of satisfaction that cannot be quantified -- exposure to training, the mentoring of his or her talents, and the sense of gaining a window into an industry to see how things work, and a foothold into a company where he or she will be treated with respect. "Training can also be the means for positive change in any organization; however, training is not enough to create lasting change without a vital link that will help your employees transfer what they learned into real-life application. That vital link is a strong coaching program" (Villegas & Villegas 2006). The intern must know that merit-based promotions are a realistic prospect for permanent employees, and that the company does not primarily solicit its management material from without, but mentors them from within.

One of these benefits is the provision of day-care assistance programs as well as child care referral services to the employees. As a result of the provision of this benefit, the policy ensures that parents continue working and increases its productivity. An example of such benefits that are not related to gender is offering child care leave to both spouses to ensure that both men and women employees participate in child care in their respective homes.
The other benefit without regard to gender is the provision of job sharing programs that permits two employees especially couples to share a job on a part-time basis. As part of the policy, the job-sharing program enables dual-career couples to proceed with their careers while taking care of their children.
Analysis:
A commitment to hiring dual-career couples enables the organization to reduce chances of losing competent employees especially when one spouse is transferred or get a…

ecruitment strategy and plan
This document is about laying down a strategy of recruiting employees in sincere college. Employees move, quit or transfer thus creating a need to open job application for interested candidates. It helps to determine what the job entails, tasks and skills of the employees. It covers an outline of the recruitment plan, job description, methods of recruitment, interview procedures and hiring. The strategy aims at attracting qualified applicants ready to take the job.

ecruitment goal
The goal is to attract higher standard candidate with skills promoting the name of the Sincere College. This can be achieved where the faculty of the Davis School of Business should suggest names of people who "know people" in the field who should be called upon to nominate individuals. The other way is posting advertisement in newspapers, journals read by people in this discipline and posting advertisement in social media.

A second approach smaller companies can take is to create a flextime policy where workers can make up days over the weekend if they choose to in order to complete work; also included in this program will be the ability to define work hours as well on a daily basis. A third strategy for assisting dual career couples is to promote a policy of hiring spouses in different departments. The benefits of having a shared career objective is one of the reasons companies pursue this specific strategy.
Finally, if a smaller company finds that they have several dual career couples with small children, creating a nursery or pre-kindergarten in one area of the building is also an excellent idea.
This allows both parents to see the child and gives the mother the freedom of returning to work after the child has received preschool…
Merging Current etirement Plans at Company Y: Memo to CEO
In the wake of the recent merger, employees of Company Y are understandably anxious about the decision to create a single, unified retirement benefits plan for all employees. One segment of the company has a defined contribution plan, in which employees contribute to the plan with a portion of their salary, which is then matched by the company. The employees with this plan have sometimes benefited from the fact that a defined contribution plan can change in value, based upon market circumstances. "There is no way to know how much the plan will ultimately give the employee upon retiring. The amount contributed is fixed, but the benefit is not" (Defined contribution, 2011, Investopedia).
ecent market uncertainty has caused some employees to question the value of such a plan, given that many people nationwide lost a substantial part of their retirement savings during…

Compensation
The current plan is a defined contribution plan, but the employees are not using it effectively. Many are heavily weighted in money market, and over 70% of employees are not even making contributions. Both of these problems need to be addressed.
The first question that should be raised with senior management is whether to offer a defined benefit plan, rather than a defined contribution plan. Part of the reason that many employees do not use the plan is that they probably do not truly understand the plan. A defined benefit plan is much easier to understand for employees because it gives them a set benefit (DOL, 2012). The risk in a defined benefit plan, however, is on the company, whereas with a defined contribution plan the risk falls to the employees. So from the company's point-of-view it is probably better to have the current plan, and maybe we just need to…
