Create a job aid and create a 700- to 1,050-word paper discussing the job aid

/in /by

Create a job aid that can be used to improve a group of employees performance within your organization.

Create a 700- to 1,050-word paper discussing the job aid that includes the following:

  • Have an opening paragraph.
  • Define Job Aids and their function.
  • Assess how it will be deployed.
  • Determine what type of training methodology you will use.
  • Evaluate whether or not there is a change management component to its roll-out.
  • Analyze the type of training technology that will be utilized with your aid.
  • Summarize what employees will be able to do after they complete training.
  • Have a closing paragraph.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines. All college level assignments require three to five references. Only references cited within the body of the assignment can be included in the references. As in all assignments, please write in third person. Paragraphs should be comprised of 3 to 5 short concise sentences.

Submit both the job aid and the paper.

**Note: The job aid can be created on any “imaginary” training that needs to be conducted in the imaginary workplace. There is no specific subject that has to be addressed. As an example, I am in sales. We usually use job aids to provide steps in new processes that are rolled out. This could be an adjustment to an existing process or even the steps for using a new system. We would first conduct some sort of training and then provide the employees with the job aid ton post at their desk.

The grading guide is attached.

  1. Briefly discuss the ways a realistic budget will benefit the owner of Babycakes versus having no budget at all. Be sure to use Babycakes as the company and any specific product details in your explanation.
  2. Prepare a sales budget for the LA Babycakes store for the 4th quarter of 2016. Present
    the number of units, sales price, and total sales for each month;
    include October, November, and December, and a total for the quarter.
    Use one-half of the Valentine’s Day sales as the basis for a usual day
    in the new quarter. Use 30 days for each month. Calculate the total
    sales for each month for October, November, and December.
  3. Create
    three (3) new products, one (1) for each of the three (3) holiday

    estimates. Include an overview of the budget in the report, presenting
    the actual budget as an appendix with all data and calculations. Add
    these amounts to your sales budget.
  4. The owner of Babycakes
    is interested in preparing a flexible budget rather than the static
    budget she currently uses. She does not understand why, when sales
    increase, her static budget often shows an unfavorable variance.
    Explain how a flexible budget will overcome this problem. Use the
    details of your newly prepared budget for the 4th quarter of 2016 to
    address her concern.
  5. Imagine that Babycakes is facing a
    financial challenge that is causing the actual amount of money that it

    discussion of your own unique cause of the overspending. Explain the
    corrective actions needed to address these challenges.

Assignment 2: work hazard perception

/in /by

This is a graduate work and need to follow instructions in assignment

How are the hazards perceived? The workers might have one perspective and you might have
another one. Indeed, scientists who report on their studies of similar work sites, might have even
a different perception.
The task here is to rank the hazards in terms of “level of concern” among different observers.
You may consider several different perspectives, but you should include these three
stakeholders:
o workers,
o scientists (where possible)
o yourself.
To learn the view of workers you can interview a worker. (Don’t over do this; it does not require
a survey.) In some cases the site you have selected may be too sensitive to directly interview
workers. See if you can find workers in a similar setting in another place. If this is not possible
select a friend who is like the workers that you are studying and interview him or her.
To learn the views of scientists it will be useful to do a brief literature search to learn if there are
studies of similar work sites where researchers have attempted to study particular aspects of the
workplace or, if you are lucky, the whole work site that you have selected. If there are studies of
the whole site, simply report on those findings; if there are only partial studies, try to assemble
them into a prioritized list.
Your own views might track those of one of these two groups or it might differ.
In the brief paper you present you should include two or more lists of the hazards representing
the different observers and ranking the hazards from high concern to low concern. If there are
significant differences suggest some plausible explanations.
