HR Headline: Pay for Performance in Public Schools“Pay for Performance” has made inroads in business, but has remained a hard sell in public school systems. There are some successful examples where teacher pay has been linked to student test scores. In Minnesota some districts have stopped giving automatic raises for seniority and base 60% of all pay increases on performance. In Denver, unions and school districts designed an incentive program where teachers receive bonuses for student achievement and for earning national teaching certificates. However, some plans have not worked. For example, Cincinnati teachers voted against a merit pay proposal and Philadelphia teachers gave their bonus checks to charity rather than cashing them. It appears that having teachers involved in planning the incentive system is one key factor to success. The same can be said for all incentive plans – if employees don’t buy into them, they will not work.Questions for Discussion:1. How could an organization measure the effectiveness of their pay-for-performance plans?2. From an employee’s perspective, what are the disadvantages of using a pay-for-performance plan?3. From an employer’s perspective, what are the disadvantages of using a pay-for-performance plan?Answer in proper APA format to include a cover page, references and sources properly formatted, at lease 3 sources.

HR Headline: Facing the Workforce of the Future The diversity of the U.S. population has changed significantly over the past decade, and more shifts are expected over the next 20 years. Some examples include: 1) construction firms are employing a large number of Hispanic/Latinos and they must adapt their recruiting, training, and safety practices to reflect this diversity in their workforce; 2) Harley-Davidson increased the number of minority and women managers and workers by 20% over the past decade which has resulted in more African America, Latino, and women customers; 3) long-haul trucking companies are focusing on recruiting and training women to counter an expected shortage of 115,000 drivers by 2018.
Questions for Discussion: Post to the Forums by midnight Thursday and respond to at least 2 members of the class by midnight, Sunday of the week using critical analysis and scholarly discussions. 1. What do you think are the major reasons that more organizations are recruiting a diverse workforce? 2. What are some ways that recruiting should be done differently to attract more African Americans? Latinos? Women? 3. What are some ways that training could be done differently for African Americans? Latinos? Women?

How would your life be different without one of your motivations? Review hunger, sexual, and the higher motivations and pick one that is particularly interesting to you. What about your daily life would change? How would it change your long-term life planning?

HR class discussion:
At times, an employee may claim he or she was terminated unjustly and attempt to litigate the termination. Research a case of wrongful termination, where an employee sued a former employer for unjust/unfair termination. Give a brief review of the case, and then discuss what the employer, and the employee, could have done differently to avoid this litigation. Finally, discuss how best to terminate an employee for cause without leading to possible litigation.
How would you solve this and show work for it?

HPV is very common. In fact, it is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the US. HPV is so common that nearly all sexually-active men and women will get at least one type of HPV at some point in their lives. Most people never know that they have been infected and may give HPV to a partner without knowing it.
A potential answer to this problem is HPV vaccines. HPV vaccines work extremely well. Clinical trials showed the vaccines provided close to 100% protection against pre-cancers and for HPV4, genital warts. Since the vaccine was first recommended in 2006, there has been a 56% reduction in HPV infections among teen girls in the US, even with very low HPV vaccination rates. Recently, Gardasil 9 was approved by the FDA, which now covers nine HPV types (five more HPV types than the original Gardasil). Gardasil 9 has the potential to prevent approximately 90 percent of cervical, vulvar, vaginal and anal cancers (not to mention various cancers of the mouth and throat).
However, the question remains… why are HPV vaccination rates so low, and should be put public health policies in place to improve them?
After reviewing the weblinks, weigh in with your thoughts on potential policy tools and processes for improving HPV and related cancer outcomes. What are the potential strengths and weaknesses of these tools/processes? Are there any proposed or passed legislative initiatives that you would support? Defend your response. Posts should be thoughtful, insightful, and a minimum of 250-500 words. These posts should add significant substance to the conversation and clearly reference (i.e. cite) information from current textbook chapter readings/lectures (please follow current APA guidelines for your in-text citations and references).
