Brandon was very concerned with the interviewee's level of professionalism, open communication abilities, and absences/tardiness as this is an on-going problem with several of his current employees. If the reports back from the job references are good and meets Brandon's expectations, Brandon then calls the interviewee back for a second interview, and if it goes well again he reports he usually hires them on the spot (Skwirsk, 2012). This leads into the next interview question regarding employee training (Appendix A4). Brandon stressed the importance of learning the ropes of the job through actively shadowing and observing either himself or other top-sales floor workers. Brandon does not utilize computer training systems for his employees as he thinks (and has found) the best way is to actively engage in the work environment and learn from others (Skwirsk, 2012). Brandon also believes in motivating his employees through open and positive communication as well as having a positive attitude (Appendix A5). Brandon also mentioned how he motivates employees to enjoy their job and get top sales by actively participating with them on the sales floor. By showing himself as a

1.1 Explain the importance of a holistic approach to assessment and planning of care or support.

It also means following the individual care plans and respecting the instructions in place.

Under the duty of care a care assistant must always be aware of and raise concerns regarding possible pressure areas. Always record information in care plans accurately and in confidentiality.
Yes! Education is very important to me because of the way I grew up. My mother wasn’t very educated about children sometimes I think she thought that children should come with a how-to book, which is why my brother and I were put into foster care. I told myself that when I grew up I was going to go to college. I enrolled here at Ashford University on December, 21, 2014 and I’m estimated to graduate on December 3, 2018. My three (3) educational goals that align with education as a core value are Goal A, Do the best to my ability and apply myself to do the work and receive a passing grade. Get a “B” or better. Goal B, Never give up! No matter what anyone says? My final goal C is to finish out with my bachelor’s degree in childcare. With me willpower has a play in all that I do. I have so many people that do not believe in me. They say that because I have a learning disability that I won’t be able to do the work in college. I use my willpower to show them they are wrong. My willpower is
Some of the current changes that can be seen in regards to prescription privileges include changes in the ways that physicians and mental health professionals are able to prescribe medications to their patients. According to Brenda Smith of the APA (2012), currently patients receive their medications for psychological conditions by a physician usually without having been evaluated by a mental health practitioner according to the CDC. The trend includes individuals to visit their general health practitioners in order to receive psychotropic medications such as antidepressants and anxiolytics. The problem with individuals receiving these medications from other sources include: deterrence

A practical exercise is an option to allow those who do not perform well in traditional interviews to demonstrate that they do have the skills required to do the job role, for example if no mention is made of excellent verbal communication skills as an essential requirement of the job but accurate data entry skills are then this can be demonstrated using an exercise whilst taking account of the candidates limitations in the former aspect.

The relationship between employers and employees has long been the subject of widespread study and debate within the business world. This employment relationship can be defined as a complex system in which social, economic and political factors combine with an employee who exchanges mental and manual labour for rewards allocated by the employer (Encarta Encyclopaedia Deluxe. 2004). Industrial relations and human resource management advocates have traditionally held different views on the subject of organisational conflict.
