Differences in Training and Development
posted by Greg Brainard, MBA, MM/HRM

Class,

I would like to ask the class what you think the differences between employee development and training are, if any? I heard a good analogy once that compared the two, which said, “training teaches you how to fish but employee development teaches you have to be a pro fisherman!” Employee development is one of the most vital elements for any organization who wants to grow and be a success in the marketplace. In my experience as a consultant with other small and medium size organizations in the past, I saw many businesses that did not have an employee development program in place then wondered why they needed someone to come in and tell them why their business was failing and screaming for help. Constant employee development and training is one of the keys to successful growth when employees can learn how to do their jobs better and learn new skills for changes in the business environment. Would you agree? Can you tell the class what the difference between an established employee development program and new-hire training? What do you think the focus is for each one? Are they the same or are they different?

Assessment of Community-Level Barriers

/in /by

For the second written assignment of the course, you will continue in
the design of your proposed model program by demonstrating your
understanding of your selected population’s challenges, which negatively
impact this group’s health and well-being. Based on this week’s
research, conduct an assessment of the barriers, limitations, and other
distinguishing features, as they exist within your community. Your
paper, at a minimum, must contain the following elements:

  1. A description of at least three critical barriers that impact
    the health and well-being of a chosen group; one must be a micro-level
    (individual) barrier that is financial, one must be a macro-level
    (community/state) barrier that relates to access and funding for care,
    and  the third barrier may be one of your choosing.
  2. An analysis of the regulatory, legal, ethical, and accreditation
    requirements/issues that relate to these barriers (you are required to
    use outside sources).
  3. Identify and describe at least one proposed solution for each
    barrier. Your solution for the micro barrier must include an analysis of
    various potential funding options (both independent and integrated).
    Your solution for the macro barrier must include an analysis of
    financing resources for health care.

Your assignment should be a minimum of  three- to- four pages in length
(excluding title and reference pages), and should include a minimum of
three scholarly sources cited according to APA guidelines as outlined 

Please note: All assignments in this course are progressive; therefore
you should use the same population selected in your Week Two assignment.

Initial post

It is 1787. The Philadelphia Convention that was to revise the Articles of Confederation has met.
Instead of revising the Articles of Confederation the 55 delegates from 13 states that met in Philadelphia developed an entirely new document , the Constitution of the United States.
39 of the delegates signed the document. The national debate is now should the states ratify this new document so it becomes the “law of the land”?

If you were living in 1787 what would you support?
Would you be for the Constitution as a Federalist or would you be against the new document and side with the Anti-Federalists?
Explain your choice using facts from Chapters 5 and 6a and Module 6 to support your answer.
No outside research is allowed.

paper: 1200 words

/in /by

choose a building from the first half of the semester
(Western architecture before 1100 AD) and imagine that you are its designer and that you are writing a
letter to your patron/client which will accompany a plan and model of your building to explain how
your design meets the challenges inherent in the project. In particular you should focus on what
architectural decisions you made during the design process and why. Here are some suggestions of
topics that you might consider addressing (note that there might be others as they will vary from
building): function, response to site, form, materials, constructional techniques, precedents, style and
expression. Focus on the questions that would be of interest to a reader of the same period / culture
trying to understand why you designed it in the way that you did. This is an opportunity to think about
what issues were uppermost in the mind of the original architect. Do not write in an “old-fashioned”
language (or in Latin, Byzantine Greek, Medieval French, etc.), but in clear and expressive modern
English using your own words. You may use the first person if you wish. Quotations should not be
used and citations should not be needed; an appropriate bibliography, however, should be appended.
Length of mid-term paper: 1200 words.
