Explain what is meant by the need to design culturally appropriate reward systems? Give some examples One of the determinants of the success of a company in the global market is the efficiency of a culturally diverse workforce. Incentives and rewards are critical to workforce motivation in a company. Therefore, appropriate systems must be put in place for a positive outcome. It means that in a culturally diverse workforce, the rewards system should conform to different cultures to motivate the employees effectively. Although, in general, rewards may fall in financial, job content, career, job content, professional, and social status categories, the weight of each of the categories varies between countries. For instance, in Japan, the reward and incentive systems are primarily based on superiority, and more weight is placed on the bonus system. Additionally, in Japan, there is a significant discrepancy between temporary and regular workforces, with regular employees receiving noticeably more rewards (both in pay and job allocation) than the temporary workers. Rewarding of individual employees is frowned in Japan as it is seen to encourage competition within the…

She is on a quest to find out her ancestral connection and origin from Africa. It studies deep into the Atlantic Slave trade that took place in Ghana where her background is found. Hartman went to Ghana as a scholar and stayed there for a year researching into the save trade, intending on tracing the itinerary of destruction from the coast to savanna.

The issue of being abused and neglected, isolation of the old, health crisis are some of the social dysfunctions they face. There has equally resulted in them dying sooner in their later life. A good later life is something that every being deserves, whether young or old. Therefore, I will be elaborating on some of these issues, basing them on a collaborative research Canadian journal on aging development solution set to help our mature adult. Firstly, elder abuse and neglect phenomenon remains to be an underrepresented issue in our lives. Every being, however, has a right to dignity and overly respect as an autonomous being. Yet, with time, the field of elder abuse and neglect has not succeeded in the protection of the elders, the reason being incomplete knowledge i.e., our glass remains half full.

Auction Types of auctions From this chapter, I learnt that auctioning is the process of trading goods or services by offering bids. It, therefore, means that auction sales form price competitions in which the customers are given the freedom to influence the price of the seller. The model is often used by many trading companies universally. An example of a company that uses this model is the CarBargains company. In this chapter, I also came across numerous essential concepts. These include the different types of auctions and the process of determining price in each of them. The English auction is one type of auction sales. From this, I learnt that in this type of auction, the cost of commodities is determined by the value. In this model, bidders offer cumulative bids until only one customer remains. The Vickrey auction is a closed-bid sale, in which the highest bidder wins the contest but pays the second-uppermost bid. Such auctions are similar to verbal auctions and are suitable for internet users. It was also meriting to note that such auctions are also…

Benefits of a Holistic Assessment Social workers have to ensure that for every case they handle before taking any action to offer support to the client, it is essential to do a holistic assessment. A comprehensive assessment is a planned care process that seeks to understand the problem the client is undergoing, his or her personal information, factors that led to the situation, and what he or she has that can be used to offer support for his recovery. Assessment is an essential step for any social worker as it gives guidance on how one will deal with the clients. With assessment conducted first before the recovery process, it will provide evidence and information that a professional can use to suggest or offer a solution to the victim. Having an evidence-based type of treatment achieves more than when one has no evidence at all. A client’s Assessment must be accurate and touch on the biological, psychological, and social information as these factors depend on each other. If one is not taken care of, it affects the others.
