Executive Summary The field of workforce diversity has gathered momentum since 1980s. This concept originated from North America in an attempt to understand different compositions of workforces. The HR management understands the consequences of a diverse workforce in an organisation. This explains why the area has formed a core part of HR functions. This paper focuses on various issues of diversity with the specific attention to management of diversity in IBM. A brief review of the current studies reveals that workforce diversity has now become a part of any successful organisation with regard to managing workforce due to increasing competitiveness and realignment strategies organisations use to improve, and sustain their businesses performances and ever dynamic expectations of employees and society. There are also different types of workforce diversity in an organisation. These include race and ethnicity, generational differences, and gender workforce diversity. A critical review reveals that these various workforce diversities can both work to improve or destroy an organisational performance. Thus, the HR management must put appropriate policies and practices so as to manage such differences for maximum benefit to the organisation. IBM is a successful organisation with effective strategies of managing workforce diversity. The company has a Global Workforce Diversity strategy. The company values difference in culture and has an inclusion programme to attract, recruit and retain the best talent under a concept of Equal Opportunity Policy . In addition, IBM also looks at the issue of women employment and leadership, corporate social responsibility, and controversial issues of minorities such as gays, lesbians, bisexual and transgender (GLBT). Introduction The composition of the world workforce has experienced sudden changes over the last few decades. Women have enhanced their participation in the workforce and globalisation has increased interaction among different races, cultures and ethnicities. In addition, there are also widespread age differences among the workforce. Such changes have forced the HR management to find diverse ways of formulating policies and practices that must accommodate such diversity in an organisation. We have also noticed that the HR department must allocate more time than before so as to address the above issues. The increasing diversity and the aging generation are the main sources of concerns for employers. They must ensure that their policies promote team work and achievement of organisational objectives rather than promote discrimination among employees. This means that organisations must align their business agendas with the workforce diversity. Literature Review: the importance of managing workforce diversity for today’s managers Organisations that tend to have workforces of diverse ethnicities, ages, and gender proportions must look into methods of reconciling these diverse compositions of their workforces with minimal interruptions of their daily activities. Thus, manageme
Logic models are tools that allow individuals of a variety of professions to create a path that starts with a concept of service and ends with a specific result. In this assignment, the concept of a logic model will be used in the context of a social services organization. Through the use of a logical model, it is possible what an organization seeks to achieve in its practice, establish those that require the organization’s support, as well as determine what community services were needed for addressing the target problems. It was chosen to review the activities of the Global Fund for Women, which is an organization that focuses on the improvement of women’s rights through seeking financial support for the purpose of enhancing the rights of women around the world. According to the organization’s website, the vision of the Global Fund for Women is that every woman is unique and needs support in remaining safe and exploring her full potential. The organization’s mission is to “use our powerful networks to find, fund, and amplify the courageous work of women who are building social movements and challenging the status quo” (Global Fund for Women, 2017, para. 2). In order to achieve its mission, the Global Fund for Women uses the following logical model:   * Targeted problems: women trafficking, abuse, discrimination, lack of education, early pregnancies.   * Input: influence and advocacy, networking, and grantmaking.   * Activities: In order to achieve its goals, the organizations increase its agency, action, and awareness, contribute to the increase of resources and power available to women, facilitates policy and law changes, as well as encourages changes in the mindset to achieve gender equality worldwide.   * Output: financial support for women in need, the end trafficking and abuse, the end of discrimination against women, enhanced education of women in developing countries, treatment of health issues and support during early pregnancies, the improvement of women’s self-esteem and self-worth (Global Fund for Women, 2017).   * Outcomes: creating a stronger movement for the rights of women, increasing awareness, and funding for achieving gender equality not only in developed countries but also worldwide.   * Impact: to support the rights of women across the globe (especially third-world countries), secure laws that protect women against discrimination, facilitate women’s education, help establish new civil rights organizations and funds that have the same objectives, eliminate gender-based violence, establish a framework of political and economic rights of girls and women worldwide, help secure universal sexual health and reproductive rights of women (Global Fund for Women, 2017). Financial support of women across
Online meeting rooms have largely influenced on how organizations are distributed. Managers can meet online with employees from different parts without moving to a centralized place. This has helped many organizations reduce costs and save relocation time. The traditional work styles have changed rapidly, and people are remotely working from their homes (Coleman, 2006). Offices are spatially distributed and online meetings and events achieve their ma
Introduction Tort as used in common law is a civil wrong. It is a law that allows an individual who has suffered harm or loss to be compensated. The harm or loses may have been caused by another person’s behavior. For instance, in a case where a person suffers legal injuries, he or she is entitled to compensation from those who caused the injury. In this paper the focus is on negligent tort. Negligent tort focuses on the “failure to use that degree of care required under the circumstances to prevent harm to others” (Deakin et al., 2008, p. 23). Ideally it involves two major issues nonfeasance and malfeasance. The principle here is everyone who owes others a duty should act in a manner that will not cause harm. Elements of a negligent tort There is a formula that should be used when evaluating harm or injury as a result of negligence. The complainant must prove to the court beyond any reasonable doubt that the following occurred; that the defendant has a duty to the plaintiff, the general public, employees including the complainant, he or she must show that the defendant did not uphold his duty diligently, the harm or injury incurred is due to the failure of the defendant to uphold his or her duty and the harm suffered was indeed realistically predictable outcome of the defendant action or inaction. A typical example include the following scenario; a construction company fails to provide workers with personal protective equipment while the employer clearly knows that it is dangerous for employees to work when constructing buildings without such equipment as helmets, gloves among others. If employees get hurt during the process, the employer will be taken to task to compensate his employees since the harm was reasonably foreseeable (Mallor et al, 2010). Types of negligence There are various types of negligence and associated principles. Gross negligence is where an act or inaction by a party is r
Introduction Background of the Study Brand image is considered one of the most important aspects of present day marketing strategies, especially where the fashion industry is concerned. Based on the analysis of Ross & Harradine (2010), the present day fashion industry is a multi-billion market with roughly $500 billion in annual sales which encompasses a multitude of brands and product types (Rajagopal 2011) Through the use of their respective brand images, companies create a means of distinction from their other competitors. This method of distinction can manifest in a myriad of possible variants of present day fashion such as items that are considered chic, hip, counter culture or luxury oriented. The end result is that there are multiple companies that field a wide variety of fashion styles that are all attempting to penetrate the same consumer market, albeit at different levels (i.e. high class, mid class, average, etc.) (Stephen & Galak 2012). It is within this context that this paper will examine the effect of brand image on consumer purchasing behaviour with the UK. This type of examination will encompass the strength of brand images and celebrity endorsed products and will examine the capacity of brand image to influence consumers with or without celebrity assistance (Shute 2004; Roehm, Pullins & Roehm Jr. 2002). It is anticipated that this paper will yield a considerable amount of data that will contribute towards a better understanding on the impact of brand image on consumer purchasing decisions. It is the assumption of this study that brand images can stand alone without celebrity assistance but are inherently limited by price, budget constraints, preferences and the rational behaviour of consumers. Significance of the Study The significance of this study is in its potential contribution to help clothing companies within the UK make better marketing decisions when it comes to utilizing endorsement deals with celebrities or focusing on the implementation of traditional advertising campaigns in their marketing efforts. While it may be true that in previous decades celebrity endorsements have helped the brand efforts of numerous companies, the fact remains that the concept of “brand image” being associated with celebrities has become increasingly questionable given the oversat
Introduction The widespread use of drugs across the US is predetermined by a variety of historical and psychological patterns. At first, with the illegal substances appearance, our ancestors were not able to determine how they actually interacted with the human body and all the possible implications of such consumption. At the beginning of the 19th century, scientists started to examine drugs more meticulously and consequently discovered that some of them could serve not only to a recreational but also an instrumental purpose (Levinthal, 2016). Today, when drugs’ structure is almost fully examined, and their recreational use is prohibited by law, the number of people suffering from drug addiction is still steadily rising. The question that arises from such data is why people are still consciously poisoning themselves with drugs when they are well aware of the implications of such an addiction. Main body To answer the aforementioned question, it is necessary to analyze today’s mass culture. The issue of drug addiction is raised in the vast majority of new TV shows and films addressing younger generations. Such movies as “Trainspotting,” which is already considered to be classic, along with the latest releases such as the “Euphoria” mini-series are mostly focused on the topic of illegal substances consumption. Although these works consider both states of being drug-addled and having a withdrawal, the overall image of drug consuming is still romanticized. Another possible sphere of influence is the examples of prolific creators who could not imagine creating their oeuvre without the drug use. The most outstanding examples of such creators are Ernest Hemingway, Stephen King, and Vincent van Gogh. At the present time, as a result, there are a lot of creative minds who believe in the improvement of their artistic achievements through the use of various illegal substances. Conclusion Thus, even though the question of drug use spreading is still open for discussions, mass culture has inevitably become one of the major investors in the shockingly high number of people affected by drugs. Reference Levinthal, C. F. (2016). Drugs, behav
In the modern world, quickly developing technologies and innovations are an essential part of any successful business. To stay competitive, organizations need not only to invest in cutting-edge equipment but also to engage their employees in lifelong learning to ensure that workers possess the necessary knowledge and practical skills to thrive in the world of constant change. That is why many big companies attach great importance to planning and implementing learning activities that would increase the expertise and capability of their employees. While creating effective training programs can be hard on its own, the shaping of the learning and development policies is further complicated by globalization, as multinational companies have to consider how specifics of a particular country might affect the learning progress and outcomes. This paper will discuss the benefits of conducting employee training in internationally operating organizations, possible difficulties that can arise in the context of multicultural learning, and the employee development strategies that can be used by multinational companies either locally or centrally, depending on their aspirations. Both organizations and individual workers can benefit from corporate employee training programs. For a company, the main advantages are increased productiveness, motivation, and satisfaction of employees, which are likely to lead to a general improvement of the work of an organization. For instance, a study of Nairobi firms by Lyria, Namusonge, and Karanja (2017) demonstrated that there was a significant positive correlation between the company’s use of learning and development practices and its organizational performance as measured by profits and growth. Additionally, through internal learning programs, multinational companies can make sure that specific gaps in knowledge and skills that stem from cultural or educational differences are adequately addressed. Employees, on the other hand, profit from learning programs by developing new skills and trying themselves at different tasks and roles, which may lead to a promotion or increase their employability outside a company. Also, high-quality talent management practices might motivate workers to expand their knowledge even further, bringing additional benefits to both a firm and its employees. Given many gains that learning and development activities can bring to a company, any international organization that aspires to be successful in the modern world of technologies should not spare its financial resources and time on growing the potential of its workers. When devising traini
“The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” can be compared to the story of “The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allan Poe. While the two stories were written at different times and in differing styles, they both emphasise the sanity or lack thereof of the main characters. For example, in Poe’s story, the narrator is driven insane by the beating of the older man’s heart, even after his death. There is no way the narrator could be continuing to hear the heartbeat after death unless he lacked sanity when he committed the act. Walter Mitty, by comparison, loses himself in various exciting scenarios to probably escape the mundane things he has to do in his day to day life. Out of the four other stories discussed, there are no other main or supporting characters that exhibit such signs of insanity. Walter Mitty, as compared to the narrator of Poe’s story, is a bit less insane. This is because he does not go out and murder someone that is the object of his fixation. In order to get through his daily life, he has to imagine these things and perhaps wishes that he were more famous or notable than he actually is. Each fantasy is of someone with power or fame. The narrator in Poe’s story appears to be obsessed with this one imperfection in the older man and therefore decides that he needs to kill him to be rid of that imperfection. Another difference between the two stories is the style. Poe’s story is done in the first person from the perspective of the narrator. Thurber’s story is done from a third-person perspective, as if we are looking into the life of Walter Mitty, including during the fantasy type scenarios. There is always someone or something in Thurber’s story that brings Mitty back to reality after his fantasies. In Poe’s story, there lack such things that can bring the narrator back to reality. In fact, Poe’s narrator appears to delve deeper and deeper into insanity. Both stories are stylised to emphasise the mental state of the main characters.
One of the very important genres of Modern Art, photo realism is a style which is based upon camera, and using the camera and photography the painter paints a picture which is quite realistic, sometimes looks like a photograph. Photorealism originated in the United States in the early 1970s. Pop art is another art form which was evolved in Britain and USA in the 1950s. In USA, the pop art began as a representational art form. Some critics also mentioned that it can be also named as the return of hard edge composition of the late 1950s. But in Britain, pop art developed only by embracing the American popular culture. It is an art form which is characterized by different types of themes directly derived from the popular culture. It is basically dominated by mass culture like comic books, movie posters, advertising and all the other aspects of life. Along with the minimalism format of art, we can say that these two are the predecessors of the postmodern art (Meisel 114). The most important aspect of the photorealism is the photograph and it can not exist without the photograph. In this process of art, the artist condenses his imagination with photography and then represents it on canvas. After the development of the slide the artist then transfers the photographic slide to canvas. With other precise effects and techniques after a long process a picture of the genre comes out. Actually as a painting style, the most important feature of it is being precise and tight. There are some qualities of the process:  1. The basic information and the color-schemes are gathered by a camera.  2. Generally a mechanical process is being employed by the artist for the transformation of the photo-print to the canvas.  3. The artist must possess technical qualities to ultimately look the finished product like a photograph.  4. Most of the photo realists’ emphasis primarily on reflections of geometric surfaces to stand out from other pictures, and this can be one of the most important features of the art (Raczka 76). On the other hand, the critics often say that pop art is a reaction to the abstract expressionism which was one of the most dominant intellectual cultures of the time. The main aim of the art was to use all the factors that were overlooked in the elitist art forms. Actually pop art can be described as a vehicle aimed for irony. It also shows in a way how the artist can successfully blend so many different pieces of art together to make a coherent piece of work. Most part of the Pop Art can be called as incoherent,
Data security breaches have been noted to be one of the biggest threats to health care confidential information. In most cases, these incidences expose the data without the patient’s authorization. One of such worst occasions occurred at Trinity Health Care Center. The month of September last year was one of the worst months for the institution (Williams et al., 2020). The organization database vendor, Blackbaud, informed the health care system that they had been a victim of cyber-crime. The unknown hacker had accessed the database and obtained patients’ critical information, such as email addresses, security numbers, and income information. The Trinity Health Care Center data breach is regarded as one of the high-profile incidents, as it affected 1,045,2 70 patients. These victims were traumatized, stressed, and bitter about how their sensitive personal information was handled at the instituting (Williams et al., 2020). In their opinion, they felt that health care data management personnel had been careless with such sensitive materials. They felt that the institution was directly liable for any loss that they may have incurred as a result of the hacking. On the other hand, the data management department part of the organization felt that it had failed in its role of data protection. They realized that their action had far-reaching consequences not only for the patients but also for the institution as a whole. One of the measures that the institution has adopted to prevent the possible reoccurrence of data breaches is the deployment of the best security measures. By building the right architecture, the institution has managed to prevent possible cyber-attacks. The adoption of the new formats has not only succeeded not only to prevent but also to inform the managers of possible strikes.
