PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: Training and development prompts a change within an organization. The goal of training is to identify areas for improvement and develop materials and opportunities to educate employees in order to support growth.

For this assignment, you are required to develop a small training exercise. Review your needs assessment and previous observations conducted on your work environment to help identify one area for improvement that would benefit a part of your organization. This training exercise does not need to be implemented, but should include at least one deliverable that you could use during the training exercise. As you are reviewing your organization, consider employee engagement, systems, procedures, communication, and the culture within the organization. These are suggestions for possible areas that could benefit from a training exercise. The training must include the following:

1. What goal is the organization trying to accomplish?
2. What processes or procedures will change after the training?
3. Describe the strategies or actions involved in the training exercise to meet established goals. What is the expected performance or applications after the training? How will the strategies drive successful business results and improve employee performance?
4. How will the organization provide support to the employees receiving training? To new employees? Does this support consider strengths and weaknesses within the organization?

You are required to develop a written description (1,000 words) including one visual for your training exercise. Be sure to take time to analyze your work surroundings and identify a need for further training and development.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

I would like to have one literature review for about 3000 words. My major is international human resource management and my dissertation topic is what factors contribute to the emergence of the Agency Model in Chinese food delivery industry. Under the Agency Model, agencies are set as bridges of the platform and riders. The platform (like Deliveroo) distributes orders to different agencies and those agencies can recruit their own riders to complete the orders.

Therefore, I want to have two levels of factors in literature review, one is country-level factors and another is industrial factors. For country-level factors, I prefer CIA ( Comparative institutional analysis) and look at the development of this concept (e.g. including Whitely 1999 and Hall & Soskice 2001). Then, focus on the culture systems, political systems and labour systems and link them to Chinese contexts and if possible, link them to Chinese food delivery industry. For industry-level factors, I prefer ‘organizational isomorphism’, which means that looking at the other agency model in China. For example, “There is a possibility that this unique Agency Model evolves and develops through this way as China already has various agency models used in Airline industries before the gig economy”. 

Afterwards, looking at Chinese traditional human dispatching companies and if possible, make some comparison. 

At last, describe the food delivery industry in the UK like Deliveroo, and make some comparison.

Assignment Overview

An awareness of the covered and noncovered services of Medicare is a critical area of understanding for health care managers. The program has grown and changed over time, refining who and what is included vs. excluded. The Case presents the opportunity to investigate these coverages, as well as the financing of Medicare. Specific reimbursement rules are in place that must be followed if funds are to be received for providing services. The level of Medicare reimbursement differs from what would be received from private insurance – but by how much – and how can this affect your bottom line?

1. Investigate the eligibility of the Medicare program; who can be covered?
