Shannon Albright has an accounting degree from a U.S. accredited university. She also became certified as a CPA (certified public accountant). Upon graduation, she was offered and accepted an entry-level accounting position at a firm in Atlanta, GA. She has been gainfully employed with this firm for the last 5 years. Recently she interviewed with your firm, which is located in Boston, MA. You, working for the human resources department, want to hire Shannon for your organization’s financial accountant position. You know Shannon is a strong candidate, and you want to develop a competitive offer that will attract Shannon yet still fit within the company’s budget and compensation structure (i.e., considering both internal and external equity). With this in mind, you are asked to prepare the offer for Shannon. The following will be included in this package and should be specific to Shannon and this situation: Compensation package: What pay rate will you offer (using salary survey research as support)? What else may be included in the compensation package? Incentive plan: What performance-based incentives does this offer include?Benefits plan: What specific benefit plans does this offer include? It is important to provide the necessary supporting details to explain the incentives and benefits being offered. The more details you provide, the better educated Shannon will be to make her decision to accept. Along with these packages, you will include a 1-page cover letter addressed to your supervisor that outlines what you propose to offer. This cover letter should explain and justify the compensation package, incentive plan, and benefits plan. Make sure to discuss job location and experience level your detailed plans will then follow that cover page. Using the Internet and library, locate all necessary information for constructing these 3 packages. This is a research assignment so be sure to include and cite your research within the paper using APA style.

Effective crisis communication planning requires having accurate demographic information. What languages are spoken in a particular area? Where do the more vulnerable populations live? Who is responsible for making decisions?Effective communication strategies are typically rapid, accurate, and involve input from all those in decision-making positions. Understanding the cultural milieu and support systems may be challenging for responders from the area and even more so for responders from outside of the area. Overlay these obstacles with a technological inability to communicate inside or outside the region, and planning for communication before a crisis then takes on added importance. Additionally, without effective communication plans in place, disaster rumors and inaccurate or outdated information can in turn cause great chaos.Furthermore, vulnerable populations can prove to be the most challenging people to assist after a disaster. As evidenced in the 2010 Haiti earthquake, relief was not immediate because of the existing impoverished pre-disaster conditions. Facilities such as airstrips and roads were in questionable repair, so aid coming in was not readily accessible. Most Haitians are low-income, existing on two U.S. dollars per day, and only 50% of the population is literate and able to read directions in order to find locations for food and water. Factors such as these contributed to difficulties in assisting this vulnerable population in the aftermath of the disaster.To prepare for this Discussion:Review Chapter 2 in your course text, Crisis Intervention Strategies, paying particular attention to multicultural perspectives and considerations.Review the article, “Psychological Assessment of Children in Disasters and Emergencies,” and focus on the special issues related to assessing the needs of children and adolescents after a crisis. Also concentrate on the different psychological assessment tools that are appropriate for use with this population after a crisis.Review the article, “Natural Disasters that Reveal Cracks in Our Social Foundation.” Think about the ways in which a break down in services and communication can be avoided for the elderly population during crises like the 2003 France heat wave.Review the article, “The Transformation of Traditional Mental Health Service Delivery in Multicultural Society in California, USA That Can Be Replicated Globally,” paying particular attention to the necessity of mental health services as a top priority during crises.Review the article, “Vulnerable Populations in an American Red Cross Shelter After Hurricane Katrina,” and think about the ways in which the ‘Model of Vulnerable Populations’ helps address crises wherein people suffer from multiple losses in their communities. Also think about appropriate mental health obligations that should be taken into consideration when working with vulnerable populations during and after a crisis.Review the article, “Responding to Student or Teacher Death: Preplanning Crisis Intervention,” and focus on the importance of communicating with parents and students, as well as fostering a grieving process that facilitates healing after a student or teacher death.Reflect on your Application Assignment from this week and think about the alternative communication systems and strategies that can be used when assisting individuals who have experienced a crisis. Also think about the ways in which to reach and communicate with vulnerable populations in these same situations.Choose one alternative communication system/strategy and one strategy for communicating with and reaching vulnerable populations that you described in your Application Assignment from this week.With these thoughts in mind:Post by Day 5 a brief description of the alternative communication system/strategy that you chose and one example of how it was used during/after a crisis. Then provide a brief description of the strategy for reaching and communicating with vulnerable populations that you chose and one example of how it was effectively used during/after a crisis.Article: Balaban, V.

Lesson 1 Discussion Forum 1: Discussion 350 WordsWhy is it important for HR management to transform from being primarily administrative and operational to a more strategic contributor?Your discussion is to be submitted in 12-point Times New Roman font using APA format. You must have a minimum of two sources to support your answer.Reply to post: 250 WordsOrganizational change is an important aspect within the management because it enables the managers to run daily operations in a manner that fits the current competitive environments. As such, the most affected organizational division is the human resource department. The working environment today is faced with a lot of dynamics rising to form the demands of the administration and the human resource. Thus, the management should be more strategic in meeting the demand of employees rather than being administrative and operational, so that there can be a balance in both cases. Human needs rapidly change within and without the workplace due to environmental, technological, and organizational changes (Kapoor n.d). Thus, the human resource management division should be in the front line to assist the members in adjusting to the changes in meeting the objectives of the organization. The presumption that the basic knowledge from education or experience is enough for task performance many not apply throughout. For instance, employees need to be trained so that they can adjust to new technologies and production techniques. Thus, prior knowledge may not apply in such new working environments. Hence, the only way the HRM department can help in dealing with such dynamic and emerging matters is by approaching the situation strategically, rather than operational and administrative. On a different note, this would help in advancing the competitiveness of the organization within the industry. Further, it helps as a motivating factor because of the changes in working environments.

The psychoanalytic approach emphasizes the enefits.  Do you find that current problems are mostly rooted in early childhood events or influences?  To what extent do you believe people can resolve their adult problems that stem from childhood without exploring past events?  When you apply this basic psychoanalytic concept specifically to yourself, what connections between your own past and present are you aware?
