After two straight years of financial losses in 1994, CEO Ron Allen rolled out a new strategy called “Leadership 7.5.” Allen targeted to reduce Delta’s cost per each available seat mile from more than 10 cents to 7.5 cents, which would match that of major competitor Southwest Airlines (Bryant, 1997). Along with a new company strategy a change followed with Delta’s human resource strategy. This changing policy devastated employee morale and resulted in a decline of customer service, efforts to unionize, and dissatisfaction among personnel. Delta couldn’t keep the past primary policy about human resources so there were several significant changes in Delta’s organization and corporate culture. There are many programs that Delta has built after passing through the cost-cutting reformation in 1997 for getting back its capabilities on customer relationships like rewards and recognition program above and beyond and more.
Robert Martinez English 105 Ms. F. Mendiola Cause and Effect Essay -Final June 27, 2011 Cause and Effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) I decided to write my essay on the causes and effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) because this topic affects me personally in addition to several of my close friends. I have been to a combat zone twice; both times were in different provinces of Iraq. There were several times when events that had happened would not be considered normal. The phrase, “This is a normal response to an abnormal situation,” was used often by military chaplains and therapists when talking to service members who just witnessed traumatic events. I hope that by the end of this essay I would have brought more understanding and compassion to this affliction.
Every Dr. that went through this journey with Morgan and kept track of his health are stunned and that people shouldnot eat fast food and one Dr. even says that Morgan should not eat fast food for one whole year to give his body time to recuperate.

It takes 2 months of detox eating to get his liver and cholesterol back to normal function. My take from this movie?

In this article Mr. Cogan talks about the army suicide rate, it is higher than the general American population. “The rate has been calculated as 20.2 per 100,000 soldiers, compared with 19.5 per 100,000 civilians”.

Since fighting in (2) two wars: Iraq and Afghanistan for well over 14 years and the drawdown of United States forces world wide the government has a surplus of military equipment left over from both of these actions. “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet.” (Matthew 24:6) As the size of the U.S. forces diminish due to financial restraints in the different theaters of operations the need for all of this equipment and the cost of maintaining this equipment has resulted in thousands of municipalities and civilian/governmental police forces throughout the United States being the receivers of sophisticated and cutting edge military combat equipment. (Garland, 2014) In a New York Times article by Matt Apuzzo, “War Gear Flows to Police Departments.” “During the Obama administration, according to Pentagon data, police departments have received tens of thousands of machine guns; nearly 200,000 ammunition magazines; thousands of pieces of camouflage and night vision equipment; and hundreds of silencers, armored cars and aircraft.” (NYT,
In the UK there are, “150 million days lost to sickness absence every year” (DWP, 2010). Absenteeism can affect the workplace greatly both in cost to the organisation through sick pay productivity costing the economy £100 billion each year (DWP, 2011). In this report I will identify the areas of concern and address them accordingly using guidance provided by the HSE and other sources. Element 1: Recording absence Being able to measure absent employees allows the organisation to compare itself with other departments, levels of staff and similar organisations to assess whether the levels of absenteeism are at an acceptable level or not and bench mark their current situation (IOM, 2011). To do this management are required

He was terminated from a factory job where he was covered by a group health insurance and the factory has more than 100 employees. That qualifies him for
A certain stimuli can re-kindle a memory of a high stress situation leading to the personnel re-experiencing the original trauma through flashbacks Psychological problems are not always limited to the military personnel. Immediate and extended family can also experience the effects. This can become more apparent during the “Homecoming After Deployment” phase. Spouses and children have often adjusted to new roles to make-up for the absence of the family member. There is often a re-distribution of responsibilities to fill the gap.
Human service workers direct clients to appropriate resources like different support groups, self help or mental health care facilities. They also assist clients who suffer from severe mental illness with learning how to become self-sufficient and receive the proper care that they need. Mental illness has grown over the years and now many people suffer from mental illness such as veterans. Being a veteran, there are many challenges they face once they are out of the military. For one, they have to learn how to adapt to life on the outside of the military and finding a suitable job.
