Issues Concerning
Maternity Leaves
[ send
me this paper ]
A 9 page paper discussing executive maternity leave. It has been common to find
that women previously on track to break through the "glass ceiling"
have been transferred instead to the "mommy track," forced to choose
between family and career. In the case described here, there is an upcoming
promotion from managerial to executive that is in jeopardy. The woman stands to
lose all that she has worked to attain throughout her working life, and the
company potentially faces a discrimination suit as well as a failed product
launch. However, there are alternative arrangements that can be made in which
both sides benefit and remain on track to achieving their goals if they will
only look for them. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Issues Concerning
The Hiring Of Temporary Workers ("Temps")
[ send
me this paper ]
A 6 page paper describing issues concerning temporary workers in today's
business world. A double-edge sword is presented by the fact that companies
emphasize quality and yet they hire temps to save costs-- temps that are not as
likely to work to their fullest potential or with the company's own interests in
mind. Some of the pros and cons of temp work are cited : the writer feels that
they are cost-effective, highly-available, and little or training is required by
the company itself. But on the other hand, temps are very often exploited,
underpaid, overworked, and generally treated quite poorly. Bibliography lists 9
sources.

Jeffrey Pfeffer’s
“The Human Equation: Building Profits by Putting People First”
[ send
me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses the 1998 business management book, “The Human
Equation.” Author Jeffrey Pfeffer asserts that far too many companies have
focused on creating a short-term and immediately more profitable bottom line and
better-satisfied investors without considering the long-term implications of
downsizing and the shedding of old businesses. Creating a “lean” economic
model that stresses outsourcing has become a driving force in businesses ranging
from manufacturing to healthcare. Pfeffer contends that a great deal of
“downsizing” is essentially a throwback to employment practices that are
more than a century old. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Accountability in
Nursing: The Interrelationships of the Hierarchical Structure
[ send
me this paper ]
A 5 page discussion of accountability in nursing. Contends that accountability
is an integral component of all aspects of nursing. The nurse is, of course,
above all accountable for the well-being of his or her patient but, with recent
pressure from state legislators and higher education coordinating agencies,
accountability is becoming a greater and greater emphasis of all aspects of
nursing. In the case of student nurses, and indeed all levels of nurses, this
accountability is channeled through a chain of command, a chain of
accountability which can extend both upwards (through the institutional
hierarchy), downwards (to the patient) and even sideways (to colleagues and
other professionals) dependent on the organizational structure. Bibliography
lists 5 sources.

Interviews &
Resumes: the ol' how to
[ send
me this paper ]
… (5 pp) One of the first things to remember about the work seeking process is
that it can be difficult. Difficult is not a bad thing - it is reality. Building
a house would be difficult, but you still would want to do it because of a goal
that you had - a nice place to live for example. Also a job is different than a
career, a job can lead to a career; and it is possible to have many jobs before
you even decide on a career. This discussion will give you the information to
help you in the work seeking process. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
