Bling-Bling, Inc. is a struggling jewelry outlet that provides modestly priced gold, silver and gemstone jewelry via kiosks placed in large malls. Since their products are made with lower quality and less expensive stones and lower levels of key ingredients (like gold) and since they do not rent or own building floor space, they can sell for prices that meet the needs of many mall shoppers. However, they have the on-going issue of training and retraining sales associates. BBI wants to beef-up their orientation program.You have been hired to build a low-tech training solution for these associates.

When working in Human Services,  the intake process lays the foundation for building the helping relationship.  The way intakes are done can vary from agency to agency. Many organizations  will have specific forms or paperwork that the client will complete and go over with the Human Services professional. The information collected in the intake is only the beginning when it comes to learning about the client’s needs.   

Human Services professionals need  to be mindful of how the intake discussion is communicated and documented. It  is important to keep the language neutral and objective. The professional must  not interject their own opinions or insights and the focus of the appointment  must be on gathering information.

This week you will submit the Intake and Assessment notes for your course project. A school worker sent this information (Case Study) to me as a child protective worker, From my standpoint, I must meet with the family and formulate my assessment.

Intake/Assessment  Notes- For this submission  you will create an  intake form that you would use in your initial meeting with the family. You  will need to document the specific phrases and/or questions that you would use  in order to obtain the information needed to work with the family. Be mindful  of the language used with the client during the intake. 

• Intake  Notes: Your intake notes should include questions or statements that collect information on the following as well as any additional information you feel is relevant:
  • Details related to each member of the  family (age, sex, grade in school, etc.)
  • Family Structure
  • Employment status
  • Family history related to marital status, moving, work, etc
  • Background with Human Services
  • Current life stressors (work, financial difficulties, substance abuse, etc.)
  • Current needs the client has 
  • *Do Not worry about short term goals or Diagnostic  Impression*
• Assessment Notes: Your assessment notes should document the information you know about the family from the referral.  Although the assessment notes will more than likely not be seen by the client, it is important that the language used maintains professionalism and  objectivity. You will want to include the following as well as any additional information you feel is relevant:
  • Note who made the referral 
  • Identify the reasons for referral
  • Present the issues that you might address

Your company promoted you to a management position in a new research facility in India. Surprisingly, you have adjusted to the new culture, language, and city, despite never having lived outside the country before. You arrive to work early to get a jump start on your day and notice on the payroll report that there are a few employees who have taken an occasional three-day weekend. None of the employees have taken a full week off, however.

You want your employees to take more time off work to enjoy time with friends and family, but how? Please respond to the following questions:

• Which motivational theory or theories do you think would help communicate the importance of vacation time to your employees?
• How would you convince your employees that taking time off work is more beneficial in the long run for them and for the company?

As discussed in the unit lesson, resolving conflict in the workplace requires using interpersonal skills, management skills, and techniques. Interpersonal skills can consist of understanding individual differences, self-esteem, self-confidence, communication, teamwork skills, problem-solving skills, cultural relations skills, motivation skills, customer service skills, ethical behavior skills, and stress management skills. Management skills focus on the type of management skill applied such as collaborating, accommodating, forcing, avoiding, and compromising. As a member of the workforce, you must be able to effectively resolve conflict, either with the use of interpersonal skills, management skills, or by applying the recommended ways of responding to tension in the workplace (e.g., overcoming defensiveness, accepting of the tension, and resolving the tension).

For your Unit VI Assignment, please reflect on your knowledge of resolving conflict that you have experienced or observed in the workplace. Please analyze what you have learned. Describe how your learned knowledge can be used. Also, identify how this information can be used to resolve conflict in the workplace in your current job or from a past incident you have experienced. What steps/methods were used in resolving the conflict?
