Technological resources would include things like Computers, photocopiers, Fax machine, Phones, interactive boards, projectors and security barriers. All of these different pieces of technology would help business improve performance because the photocopier allows the staff to copy multiple documents in short amount of time instead of having to write each pager. Computers allow staff to make documents like presentations, letters, spread sheet and database much more easily than writing each, which helps to saves the business time and more importantly money. Interactive boards would help improve a business’s performance because it would help during meeting by enabling staff to display what they want to their colleagues in a controlled and easy environment, instead of having to print out documents for everyone in attendance to have to read what he was
A symmetrical family is a family where ale the chores are shared equally between couples. Sociologists like Sullivan give reasons for a symmetrical family. An example of this is that there are more women working and that they are bringing in more money to help ensure that help can be hired, eg cleaners. Another example is commercialisation of housework, eg more ready meals, microwaves and washing machines mean that men do not mind doing these chores because they do not have to spend too much time on these tasks. Another example is the shifting social attitudes which mean that it is more accepted in society for men to do housework.
One way to improve the work area for the employees is to create work cells that enable employees to communicate with each other in a simpler fashion, as well as have employees cross trained so that they can intervene and assist when necessary. Instead of having a traditional assembly line, the assembly line should be made into a U shape. The U shaped assembly line will reduce the amount of employee movement, and make it easier for employees to communicate amongst themselves during the construction process (MyOMLabs, 2012). It will also make it easier for employees to assist other employees because it will provide them with more space to maneuver, and make it easier for them to communicate with each other when assistance is needed. A1 Quantitative Analysis In order to determine how to staff and balance the work cells, Shuzworld will first have to determine the Takt time.
Providing food, toiletries, and personal items even having music so that the atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming. Preventions techniques such as more housing or shelters that have a warm, safe and friendly environment that offers employment training, help with assistance in filling out paperwork or even providing transportation to help them get off to a better start. There can also be an expansion of job training and education for those that want to further education or get their GED. There should also be an increase in the minimum wage so that people can be self-sufficient and not have to rely on the state to take care of
Unit 320 Outcome 1 Understand the principles of supporting individuals to live at home 1) Describe how being supported to live at home can benefit an individual Supporting a customer to live at home can benefit them as it gives them more independence and choice, being able to choose what they want to eat and to have support to go out and shop for their own food helps them to feel a greater sense of normality rather than being in a home where they don’t have much choice. It will benefit the customer as they will feel that they have more control over their daily routine for example what time they would like to get up or go to bed. Customers also feel happier as they are surrounded with objects that hold memories for them even the house or street might hold a significant memory that they would like to hold onto. If they weren’t in the comfort of their own home it may make them feel lonely and isolated and less confident, this could lead them to becoming withdrawn and depressed. 2) Compare the roles of people and agencies who may be needed to support an individual to live at home There are many different services that are used to help an individual stay at home.
To keep clients active and reduce the chance of them becoming withdrawn from society I have thought about services such as befriending, shopping trips, luncheon clubs and many others which will help an individual enhance their daily living. These services would increase the individual’s confidence and self-esteem because they understand that the professionals who will be providing these services are here to help and encourage them to keep active in a positive way. Luncheon clubs/coffee mornings will allow others from the area such as friends and families of the clients within the care home who feel lonely or cut off to interact and keep their social interaction active as they grow older. Also, when people get older they like to have a group of friends normally about 4-5 who will go places together this is a social circle and when clients move to residential care they can’t do this no more which means that they lose contact with them certain indivudals.However, having luncheon clubs and coffee mornings allow their friends to visit, which means people won’t lose their social circle because they will have the chance to still engage with that group. However, sometimes there can be barriers which are causing people to withdraw from socialising
Running head: WORKPLACE COMPUTERS Technology in the Workplace: Utilizing Workplace Computers for Personal Use Joe Johnson Spring 2011 As the years move forward, there is an increasing amount of technological advancements being made. These advances are making many professional and personal tasks more convenient and easier to perform. And while there are many benefits and advantages to the ever changing and increasing technological resources available to individuals, there are also disadvantages in the workplace. With technology usage and technological advancement comes various ethical issues, specifically employee misuse and abuse of company computers for personal use. Thus, employers must establish and develop acceptable use policies that will serve to educate and inform employees about the acceptable use of workplace computers and technology.
Discipline and the Cell Phone The smartphone is a modern convenience that is morphing into a member of our society. Although the effects of smartphones are both negative and positive, they are a valuable and useful part of our daily lives. We almost consider them a member of the family. They help us stay in touch with each other, complete homework and work assignments, store and play music, and keep everyone happy during long car trips. However, when the phones are demanding too much time and attention, like the children, they have to go into time-out.
Employees no longer need to be physically with their clients and co-workers; instead they can communicate effectively at home, at a distant office, across the world, and even in their car or on an airplane. Although these new technologies offer a wide variety of services and opportunities, they seem united by a single factor: increased efficiency and productivity. Indeed, companies have been quick to adopt many of these technologies, and tout significant improvements in business performance. However, as the physical office loses importance and employees are encouraged to telecommute from their location of choice; these physically isolated workers will inevitably suffer a loss of face-to-face interpersonal skills and a deterioration of relationships in the workplace.” (cse.stanford.edu) This is an example of what happened at my job, at the Raleigh Military Entrance Processing Station. I personally have been impacted by technology at my current
How to Balance Work and Home Sometimes the concepts of necessary balance, work and home, performance pressures, and all the little details of life need to be approached differently. Start with your work day. Every morning dedicate a few minutes to setting achievable and reasonable work goals and then don't waste your time getting them done. Chatting with coworkers, needless trips to the bathroom, and surfing the internet are pretty good time killers that take away progress toward developing the necessary skills to manage balance, work and home life, and job performance. Reducing stress in the workplace not only helps increase job performance but it contributes to developing the balance between work and home.
