Cherese Mason

Rosa,

Interpersonal skills go a long way in HR and in healthcare as a whole. In healthcare one will encounter many different people from the physician’s, the nursing/technical staff, and the patients. Therefore the manager should possess a diverse set of “people skills.” Communication is one of the top interpersonal skills that can go a long way with patients and staff alike. Patients want to be feel like their concerns are being heard, and that the physicians genuinely care about their well being, and they are well informed as it pertains to their health. Staff members want similar aspects a manager who they respect enough to lead them, one that is approachable enough to direct their concerns to with an “open ear,” and a manager that wants to see their staff succeed.

Discussion 1

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, please read the article by Hayley Peterson, 15 Companies That Are Defying the Retail Meltdown by Opening Hundreds of New Stores (Links to an external site.).

While many retailers are closing stores, some are rapidly building new locations, with at least one—Dollar General (NYSE: DG)—adding as many as 900 stores this year (Peterson, 2018).

Obtain Dollar General’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2017. Form 10-K can be obtained either from the SEC (Links to an external site.)’s EDGAR Filing system or the “Investor Relations” link on the company’s website at www.dollargeneral.com (Links to an external site.). Read the “Growth Strategies” and the “Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows” sections of Dollar General’s 10-K Form to answer the following questions in an initial post of at least 200 words:

• How many stores is Dollar General planning to open during its 2018 and 2019 fiscal years? By what percentage would these new stores increase the size of the company?
• How much cash did General Dollar spend on investing activities during its 2016, 2017, and 2018 fiscal years? Do you think the amount spent on investing activities represents the full costs that General Dollar incurred to open new stores? Explain you answer.
• Where did General Dollar get the cash used to make these investments?

Discussion 2

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, please read the article Capital Investment Appraisal Techniques: A Survey of Current Usage (Links to an external site.) by Sangster (1993).

After setting the company’s goals, managers evaluate capital investment projects and decide which should be funded. Suppose a company has four different capital budgeting projects from which to choose but has constrained funds and cannot implement all of the projects.

The following table contains information about four projects in which X Corporation has the opportunity to invest. This information is based on estimates that different managers have prepared about the company’s potential project.

LTD Acceptance is a private property and auto insurance carrier that specializes in sports cars and motorcycles. This organization is owned by LTD Capital, a large equity group with over 15 holdings. LTD Acceptance is the parent company’s single largest holding as it drives 70% of total revenue. Due to the inherent risk involved in that segment of the market, many of LTD Acceptance’s competitors do not offer policies for sports cars or motorcycles. This market segment is underserved which is why the organization has 20,000 active policies for a sports car or a motorcycle.

LTD is headquartered in Houston, TX. LTD does not sell insurance directly to the public. Instead, it uses third-party agents to sell its policies. LTD handles all customer service needs including claims intake, policy services, and general questions. The company operates in four states: California, Texas, Louisiana, and Florida. Currently, LTD does not have an active system in place to ensure that its agents are in fact using LTD guidelines to screen potential policyholders. However, no evidence of negligence has emerged so far as the organization has yet to have a year in which it was not profitable. LTD has also had the good fortune of not suffering losses because of natural disasters or catastrophic events.

In your first days of your new role as the senior risk analyst, you know your first task is to complete a framework for adequately identifying risk exposures. During this process, you realize that many of your counterparts lack the basic understanding of how to identify risks. Your supervisor has come to you and asked for a report outlining the importance of identifying risks to support risk management activities and positively impact the company’s bottom line. If your counterparts do not understand your report, you know that you will have minimal support in your efforts to manage the organization’s risks effectively.

For your report, you have been asked to analyze and address the following:

• Why is identifying risk exposures significant? What are the ramifications for organizations that fail to properly identify risks they are exposed to?
• What are the market risks LTD encounters?
• What business risk does LTD encounter in its day-to-day operations?
• What compliance and human capital risks might LTD face?
• How do risk management activities correlate with overall productivity?

The format for your report should be in the business, professional style. For help with this format, please click here.

The Fig Technologies Executive Leadership Council (ELC) has received several requests for transfer to the United States from nations of diminished tolerance. The ELC has asked you to develop a presentation briefly explaining the history of diversity-based legislation. In your presentation, describe the challenges of legislating diversity, and compare historical legislation of diverse populations to more recent diversity legislation. Also, explain how diversity legislation impacts ethnic, orientation, and gender groups as well as those of age, appearance, and perceived disability.

At least two additional resources should be used in addition to your textbook, one of which must come from the CSU Online Library. All sources should be cited and referenced properly using APA formatting. The presentation should consist of a title slide, a minimum of 10 slides of content, and a reference slide. Since this is a presentation, at least one slide should include a graphic or chart to present information.

Before a Crisis

The American Red Cross, along with the Salvation Army and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are the first national-level responders to many disasters in the United States and, depending on the scope of the disaster, sometimes abroad. Many professional associations coordinate with the American Red Cross, including the American Counseling Association, the National Board of Certified Counselors, and other national, state, and regional professional associations. Additionally, local first responders, fire fighters, police officers, and medics contribute to response efforts. Planning for crisis events is the first step in any response to a crisis. Thinking through a future crisis before it occurs facilitates communication and cooperation among agencies, which provides a strong foundation for a successful crisis response.

To prepare for this Discussion:

• Review Chapter 17 in your course text, Crisis Intervention Strategies, paying particular attention to local and national agencies involved in disaster response.
• Review the article, “Five Years after Katrina: Progress Report on Recovery, Rebuilding and Renewal,” to identify state and local Mississippi agencies that responded to Hurricane Katrina. Consider the importance of knowing what agencies are available for your use prior to a crisis/disaster. Then consider how similar agencies in your area might respond.
• Review the article, “The Proof of the Planning is in the Platting: An Evaluation of Florida’s Hurricane Exposure Mitigation Planning Mandate,” and think about the various planning issues these authors studied. Then consider how you would use the information offered if you were planning for a crisis or disaster.
• Review the article, “Disaster Planning and Preparedness: A Human Story,” and pay particular attention to the importance of planning and inter-organizational cooperation.
• Select three crisis-response organizations that operate within your state and analyze the roles of each and the relationships among the three.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 4 a brief description of the three crisis-response organizations you selected. Then describe the roles of each organization as well as the relationships between and among them. Be specific and provide examples.
