Recommended: Promote communication in the work setting

First, I enjoy people. That is why I like an "open door" policy. People must first know that you care before they will open up. I remember a former lunchroom employee who dropped by the Central Office one day. The receptionist informed me of her and stated “She has asked for help from the last two Superintendents but she will not listen.” I asked the receptionist to inform her that I would be with her in just a few minutes. I then pulled her personnel file. She had worked in a lunchroom where she injured her knee. According to the court settlement, her attorney encouraged her to resign and to accept a $30,000.00 settlement. She did and he took half. I went out to the waiting room and asked the lady to come into my office. I sat

  • Gate-Keeping Nation

    1125 Words  | 3 Pages

    Beginning in 1882 with the Chinese Exclusion Act, the United States stopped being a nation of immigrants and instead became a new type of nation, a gate-keeping nation. For the first time in its history, the United States did not welcome immigrants with open arms. As a result, the United States began to exert federal control over immigrants, which would change the ways Americans viewed and thought about race, immigration, and the nations’ identity as a whole.

  • Policy Proposal

    Most American citizens, if asked, would say that sex trafficking is an issue that happens on foreign land, not here in America. Many American’s believe that slavery was abolished years ago, but modern day slavery is happening in this country and internationally every day right under our noses. The startling fact, is that sex trafficking happens within our borders, and in our very own towns at a much higher rate than anyone would imagine. Sex trafficking occurs when people, usually women and children, are coerced into the sex trade against their will (TVPA, 2013). Many traffickers target weak, vulnerable people who come from low socioeconomic backgrounds and have a history of abuse; however anyone can potentially be trafficked (The Polaris Project, 2014). Many traffickers lure their prey in with false promises of love, money, or security, and then the victims are instead faced with lies, debt bondage, violence, physical and mental manipulation, and abuse (The Polaris Project, 2014). In today’s world many of our social issues, such as human trafficking, are made worse by the general lack of education, resources, and information available to the public and to victims. I propose a policy that will help 180 Turning Lives Around provide comprehensive and much needed services to victims of sex trafficking, as well as educate the community and law enforcement officials in order to help end modern day slavery in America.

  • Elderly Depression Case Study

    After a long day at work, I collect my thoughts and review the previous events of the day. An event that clearly stands out in my mind is a conversation I had with an elderly resident at my work. Over the past two years, I have worked at a retirement home called Grand Wood Park as a dietary aide, where it is my job to serve the residents their meals. When I was at work, one of the residents mentioned something to me I had never considered prior to our conversation. She said she feels as though no one cares about her anymore. Her family members do not come and visit her, they have ageist ideas, misconceptions, and often undermine her mental capabilities. I tried my best to reassure her, but I knew this was not enough since my reassurance would

    ... made the story go in my favor when I should have called earlier to tell them that I would arrive late because of what happened. Instead, I waited for them to call me on my way up. All of the effort I had put into the past three months at work are now diminished by my one ignorant action of not calling and lying when I arrived. I could have simplified the situation by just calling in when I knew I would be late and come clean up front, instead, I blew the whole situation out of proportion and tried to make myself seem like a victim. I have lost the trust of my peers and superiors that were involved.

  • Personal Narrative: My Experience As A Mediator

    620 Words  | 2 Pages

    As a union steward, I have often sat with employees and have acted as mediator between the employee and the manager. I have carefully redirected emotional employees and have had to ask the employee to take a ten minute breather. I sat in one meeting where the manager became heated and started throwing insults at me as a person. I remained calm and reminded her (and the employee) that we were not there to engage in personal attacks, that the goal of the meeting was to create a more productive work environment for the employee and to ensure that the employee could meet the work expectations of the job. I also reminded all at the table that we were all professionals, doing our job and it was not a personal assault nor should it be, for anyone.
