Generally, many organizations can have their hiring practices categorized within one of the four Hiring Maturity Curve stages – from the least organized to the best organized, the stages are chaotic, inconsistent, systemic, and strategic. Place yourself in the position of an HR manager at an organization struggling to meet hiring demands; you have noticed executives have started asking you to provide very detailed information regarding hiring activity such as the total number of interviews conducted on a weekly basis, and other very specific hiring and recruiting activity. You begin to grow confused as to why executives are asking for this type of very specific information. Post a Response After assessing the Hiring Maturity Curve from the Talent Makers textbook, respond to the following: Evaluate why executives might ask for this type of information. How might trust play a role in this evaluation? Recommend actions that might help ease executive concerns. Recommend methods to move past the chaotic stage toward the strategic stage; for example, how might creating a pipeline and instilling confidence aid in this transition?

1. I feel as though my biggest area of stress when working with families in the human service field would definitely be the fear of not being culturally diverse enough through my practices, ultimately showing a lack of personal and professional growth. One strategy that could alleviate some of the stress, challenges, and conflicts that may arise is to ultimately develop more cultural competency. Understanding and respecting the cultural differences and values of the families that I will be working with is extremely important, including being aware of my own biases and stereotypes and fixing them first-hand. Engaging in regular self-care practices to manage any upcoming stress is just as important, because it is easy to get burnt out from helping others so often and never yourself. Having an effective form of communication is importan for me to know as a case worker, not only in order to educate myself but also for the families I'm working with to understand that I respect them and will communicate with them in whatever way they prefer. Learning key phrases in the family's language, using interpreters when necessary, and being mindful of non-verbal communication cues are all important factors to working with these families. Another important thing to remember is to build trust by establishing a rapport with these families by showing genuine interest in their cultural backgrounds and by being respectful of their traditions and values. One way that I could help to resolve any conflicts within families from different cultural backgrounds is to practice active listening in order to understand the perspectives of all parties that are involved. This helps in identifying the root causes of the conflicts at hand. Another conflict resolution could be to consider involving a neutral third party or a mediator who is culturally sensitive in order to facilitate discussions and to help resolve any conflicts. Remember, each family is unique, and what works for one may not work for another. It’s important to remain flexible and open-minded while working with families from different cultures. By embracing diversity and fostering an inclusive environment, you can turn these challenges into opportunities for enriching experiences and better outcomes for the families you serve. 2. When working with families there will be many stresses that professionals may encounter that can be very challenging. During these times, we should stay focused on the plan and treatment. Depending on the situations and circumstances there are many factors to consider. Active listening is always good for understanding and good communication. Establishing boundaries and strategizing ways to help aid with problem solving techniques. All while being able to balance your professionalism when it comes to emotional situations and showing empathy while supporting the families.Working with families from different cultures from yours can be challenging due to language and culture barriers. Another challenge could be the background of their upbringing, morals, beliefs and values. For them to understand and comprehend your purpose and the service of help you are there to provide to them. Before administering my services to a family from a different culture, I would do my research and study to learn about their culture. This will help with having a clear view of what I am walking into, as well as help with understanding their needs. This will also help with strategizing my approach to assess needs and provide appropriate support effectively.

Required Resources Read/review the following resources for this activity: Textbook: Sections 28.2, 29.1, 30.3, 31.3 Lesson Minimum of 1 scholarly source (in addition to the textbook) Initial Post Instructions Pick three (3) of the following American Foreign policies: Marshall Plan Berlin Airlift Containment Anti-Communist Freedom Fighters Vietnam (conflict) War Détente' SALT I & SALT II Camp David Accords Strategic Defense Initiative (nicknamed "Star Wars") Then, address the following for your selections: Explain how each of your choices was an effective policy to thwart international communist expansion. Based on your selections, analyze if the United States should have feared international communist subversion during the Cold War era (1945-1991). Professor's comment: Welcome to this discussion concerning the Cold War (beginning Oct. 14), as we investigate political realms during these years. Some of you all have lived through the end of this era. For me as a child, I don’t remember being psychologically scared of an atomic bomb, but my wife does. When high flying jets would fly overhead, she would be afraid. Even red lights. There were various cues around that reminded you of the Cold War. You would see the evacuation signs on various buildings, showing a safe shelter. You would see advertisements in magazines for underground shelters you could build in your own yard! President Kennedy started an initiative for fallout shelters in 1961, so that by 1963, there were 17,000 places just around New York City located that could offer shelter in case of nuclear disaster, or the like (Buck, 2017). And of course, on television they would have the test, an eerie, scratchy test for about 15 seconds, followed by the statement that in the event of a national emergency, they would be able to use this channel. These are just a few samples of what was going on in society. Let’s enjoy this conversation about the Cold War, and hope that it never visits us again. You’ll be initially selecting three of the following to interact with: Marshall Plan Berlin Airlift Containment Anti-Communist Freedom Fighters Vietnam (conflict) War Détente' SALT I & SALT II Camp David Accords Strategic Defense Initiative (nicknamed "Star Wars") Thanks very much!
