Rule that attempts to eliminate discrimination. The rule Basically states, that when running an organization, your demographics have to resemble that of the community. In essence, your workforce has to resemble what the community looks like. If the community is 98% women, then your organization should resemble that. The majority of the population should make up the majority of the organization. This picture reminded me of this rule because of the disproportionate amount of green apples.]]> 2018-05-24 00:41:53 UTC https://padlet.com/rbatchelder/s60gn9b4nk0s/wish/263198435 The National Labor Relations Act (Wagner Act) rbatchelder https://padlet.com/rbatchelder/s60gn9b4nk0s/wish/263200904 Gave employees the right to unionize and fight for the rights as workers. This law also gave way to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) which administers labor laws. In fact, they still do this today.
This is a picture of a strike from the 1930's, fighting for labor relations.  ]]> 2018-05-24 00:58:00 UTC https://padlet.com/rbatchelder/s60gn9b4nk0s/wish/263200904 Taft-Hartley Act rbatchelder https://padlet.com/rbatchelder/s60gn9b4nk0s/wish/263202474 In contrast, to the Wagner Act, this law was put in place to help Business. There had been so many strikes that were going on and not getting resolved, that the government had to do something to stop it. This act provides guidelines on how workers can strike and ways to resolve the strikes before they start. This is a newspaper clipping from the time period.]]> 2018-05-24 01:09:11 UTC https://padlet.com/rbatchelder/s60gn9b4nk0s/wish/263202474 Evaluations!!!! rbatchelder https://padlet.com/rbatchelder/s60gn9b4nk0s/wish/263204625 Realized that there are essentially five keys to a successful evaluation. They are as follows:

  1. Develop an evaluation form
  2. Identify performance measures
  3. Set guidelines for feedback
  4. Create disciplinary and termination procedures
  5. Set an evaluation schedule

With these guidelines done properly. You can easily have a decent evaluation system in place.

The law abolishes discrimination based on past, future, and present service in the Armed Forces. It also provides stipulations to the fact that Soldiers coming home from war or training or anything related to military service, have the right to their job back.]]> 2018-05-24 01:33:31 UTC https://padlet.com/rbatchelder/s60gn9b4nk0s/wish/263205832 Job Descriptions rbatchelder https://padlet.com/rbatchelder/s60gn9b4nk0s/wish/263207908 I never realized how important a good job description is. Without it, employees can be lost. It can also lead to lawsuits if they feel that there is some kind of labor issue. If employees don't have a well defined job description, they could end up looking like this octopus.]]> 2018-05-24 01:46:37 UTC https://padlet.com/rbatchelder/s60gn9b4nk0s/wish/263207908 Equal Pay Act of 1963 rbatchelder https://padlet.com/rbatchelder/s60gn9b4nk0s/wish/263208899 Made it mandatory for businesses to pay females, as much as a male, if they are doing the same job. This eventually got added on to with the Fair Pay Act of 2009 and so on and so forth, which extended this law to age, religion, sexual orientation, etc.]]> 2018-05-24 01:52:25 UTC https://padlet.com/rbatchelder/s60gn9b4nk0s/wish/263208899 Conflict rbatchelder https://padlet.com/rbatchelder/s60gn9b4nk0s/wish/263209797 I've learned that conflict comes in many different facets. There are just as many ways of resolving them. Some of the main things that help resolve conflict are understanding the situation and acting promptly. Understanding the situation would be to get both sides of the story and the other part would be to get to a resolution quickly there after. If the conflict lingers on, it causing a whole line of other conflicts down the road. Almost like a tug of war.]]> 2018-05-24 01:58:16 UTC https://padlet.com/rbatchelder/s60gn9b4nk0s/wish/263209797 Downsizing? rbatchelder https://padlet.com/rbatchelder/s60gn9b4nk0s/wish/263210727 Learning about this concept, I thought it would be easy. I didn't realize how many aspects that you have to look into (discrimination, retaliation, disabilities, and the list goes on). It is not easy to decide who stays or goes because  ultimately everyone can have some kind of claim that they can use to sue.]]> 2018-05-24 02:03:46 UTC https://padlet.com/rbatchelder/s60gn9b4nk0s/wish/263210727 Title VII Civil Rights Act of 1964 rbatchelder https://padlet.com/rbatchelder/s60gn9b4nk0s/wish/263211672 Single biggest piece of legislation, when it comes to Human Resources. This Act prohibits Employers from discriminating against Race, Color, Gender, National origin, Religion. This basically started human resources if you ask me. It kind of paved a way for a new industry within business. People helping to provide for "Equal Opportunity".]]> 2018-05-24 02:08:54 UTC https://padlet.com/rbatchelder/s60gn9b4nk0s/wish/263211672
