Resourcing and Talent Planning Question 1 1.1 Labour Market Trends in the U.K. and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Structural changes that have been caused by reduced talent pool attributed to the increase in aging population, decrease in birth rates and increase in life expectancy have significantly impacted the labor market in the U.K. This is against the increased need for organizations to have highly skilled, and adaptable workforce to be able to compete in the contemporary labor market favorably. The changing trends continue to affect labor markets today and is expected to cause further changes in the labor market as it is. With increased automation, the future labor market will require new skills and talent. Some of the most common trends impacting the labor market include changes in the global demographic situations, legal restrictions, employment fluctuations, and changes in the composition of economically active populations. In the U.K., employment continues to stand at record-high levels despite the U.K. economy suffering a backdrop of economic growth due to the uncertainties attributed to Brexit.

volunteering work at organization Z I have been involved with volunteering work at organization Z, where I was the Sustainability Manager, where I was tasked with improving the organization’s social and environmental impact. I proposed and implemented the use of biofuels, an alternative energy, to the organization to cut back on the carbon emission that was their main challenge in complying with the environmental laws. I also doubled as a GIS consultant for organization Z, which is a non-profit conservationist organization, where I tabulated the changing extents of erosion in various rivers in a bid to check the severity of the problem. This data was used in planning and executing the restoration programs of these rivers to control the erosion. My most notable contribution as a GIS specialist has been the tracking and accurate mapping of a cholera infection in the remote areas of Ghana. This was done in conjunction with a team of epidemiologists with the main aim of predicting the spread of the disease. This was accurately carried out and significantly contributed to the quick response of the…

  field of marketing is revolutionizing day by day I believe that the field of marketing is revolutionizing day by day due to the evolving technologies, escalating number of tech-savvy customers and the expansion of businesses beyond the national boundaries in the context of globalization. It has become a core aspect on which the success or failures of organizations depends. I was first exposed to the field of marketing while studying for my Bachelor’s degree at Jai Hind College. I have always thought of myself as a creative person and was confident that being trained in the marketing sector would lead to an increase in my creative skills. During the first year of my undergraduate degree, I got the chance to intern with a Social Media marketing agency ‘Fullstop Entertainment’ and grabbed that right away knowing that I was not going to get that fantastic opportunity again. At Fullstop, I learned how to strategize campaigns and contests for different F&B brands and restaurants. I put in all my efforts to provide work that met with the client’s expectations while ensuring…

The ‘Wander castles’ blue horse What an enticing call would one make at such a gloomy hour, three hours to dawn? It had been a custom in our family to switch off our phones right before retiring to bed. A profound misconception was inculcated by our mother into her siblings that a thief might strike through the phone call waves at the deepest hour of the night. The eve to the unknown ignoring the mothers’ counsel seemed to plead with my heart to forget the ordeal to catch up with the ensuing call. An alarm seemed to maliciously ring countless miles away in the dreamland. No subject seemed to however be alive to provoke a punishment against the ordeal breaker. As sauce of rotting persimmons passed across our table in the party taking place in my dream, arrogance with my appetite broke the glass separating my consciousness from my phone ring. All that was visible at a glance was a series of zeros in the new number making the call. I secretly confess in my joyous heart that the estranged…

Leadership and Motivation in Project Management Introduction Every project requires leadership as it allows project managers to influence the behavior of their employees in the course of the project cycle. Therefore, motivated employees are an element of the most significant results of the right leadership within the course of the project (Walker 2015). Research has established that successful managers also double as successful leaders since they end up influencing the workers to realize the project goals. Achieving project goals, nonetheless, is not enough to keep workers motivated but helping them accomplish their individual career goals is a significant component of their motivation. Leadership and motivation go hand in hand. The effectiveness of leadership is significantly contingent and most of the times defined in relation to the ability of the leader to motivate the workers to realize collective goals or team vision for the project (Verzuh 2008). The more the workers are motivated, the more effective the project manager will be and vice-versa and hence the realization of project goals. Leadership and motivation Whenever there is a difficult or even complex…

The Marriage Roles in Qatar The marriage role in the Arab nations has, over the recent past, come under sharp criticism and scrutiny. The unsuccessful attempt to escape by the prince of Dubai and the escape by the queen later this year has drawn attention to the Arab world. With Qatar hosting the next world cup, its practices have been under the keen watch of the international community. As the proponent and opponents of the typical Arab marriage take hardline stands, there is a need to examine the whole issue objectively. In this document, the marriage role in Qatar is deeply examined objectively with dissenting unpopular opinion taken into consideration. The role theory is one element that is in support of the marriage practices in Qatar. The society in Qatar is predominantly patrician, with the men accorded the center stage in the family ole. As the men strive to provide for the family, the women take the role of caring wife and mother (Parsons & Bales, 1955).

Market Concentration and Market Power in Health Planning According to a majority of researchers, there is a tendency of the coverage of health insurance being on high concentration in the United States (Austin, 2010). In contracting a hospital for a health plan, the aspect of market concentration plays a significant role. The element of market concentration is used in determining various attributes such as market power and profitability, among other factors. For this reason for the high level of health insurance, when big insurers try to flex their influence in insurance selling, there will be a distortion of the prices. When prices become distorted, therefore, there is a likelihood that there will be an ineffective standard of health insurance cover. Market concentration, however, does not directly translate to the use of market power by health insurers to hike prices or compromise the quality of services. Within certain conditions in the market, it is typically assumed that competition will raise the quality of services offered while stabilizing prices. In the health care system, however, the market is different from that of…

Generation y millennial is the one identify me within the five generations. This is the most recent generation in the workforce, which is characterized by an overwhelming workforce, unfair work, as well as limited control (Salzman, 2017). The reason I identify with this generation is the fact that the members of this generation are sick tired of living in accordance with their values and society as a whole.  Similarly,  i identify with millenial generation on the fact that it represents the group of people who are overwhelmed and already exhausted. My experiences in this generation with other generations, unlike in this generation, members are not greedy. One…
