Resource: Strategic Staffing, Ch. 13 Staffing metrics can be short-term or long-term, and efficiency- or effectiveness-oriented. Short-term metrics can be used as leading indicators to gauge a company's ability to place the right people in the right jobs at the right time. Long-term metrics are best for evaluating the effectiveness of a staffing system because they drive the financial impact of staffing for the organization. Choose an organization with which you are familiar. Evaluate in 700 to 1,050 words three metrics that are - or should be - used to determine how well the staffing process meets the needs of the organization. Describe the metrics selected for discussion. Assess how these help the organization determine effectiveness. Use the information available in Strategic Staffing, Ch. 13, and supplement it with your own research. Cite any sources according to APA formatting guidelines.
you want to look in detail at the characters in the short story to produce a character portrait, a description of the personality, psychology, world-view, attitudes and values of a single character. This will involve looking at the different ways that the author creates and shapes the character. To write the assignment: Choose a character—either Twinkle or Sanjeev. Create a short post that answers the following questions: What is the character’s personality? What do they value? How do they think/feel about their world? What, if any, is their overall emotional tone (angry, frustrated, etc)? How do they respond to the conflicts that arise in their world? Choose a single word to sum them up, or to symbolize them. At the end of our work time, share your findings with the class. For your Peer Response post, choose at least one assertion that your peer makes about the character and, using evidence from the story, offer an alternative interpretation. For example, if your peer suggests that Sanjeev is controlling, find evidence in the text that suggests an alternative interpretation, such as evidence that suggests actions that seem controlling may stem from frustration, or just a different personality type.
