To critically think:
Being unattentive to what the listener is saying and trying to not be detected.
Introduction:
The same scenario is chosen as the example to prevail this activity;
I got a phone call one day by my dancing trainer, regarding an event coming up. I was asked if I could dance for the event, as I was part of that dance group from the outset. I accepted the invitation and pursued to take part in the respective practices set up building up to the event due date.
The catch of this invitation was that we had to travel for a long time in order to reach the destination where the event would be held. The entire dance group, including me prepared for two day trip (staying one night over). We took a 7 hour journey to the destination which was quite tiring but fun at the same time, as we all travelled with friends.
We reached our destination at night hours, so we were too tired to practice and therefore decided to call it a day and practice tomorrow. Thus, we woke up in the early morning hours and held a practice session before we went ahead for the light/dress rehearsal. We carried out a full rehearsal at the auditorium and came back to the residing hotel to get dressed. We changed into our costumes and got our makeup done and headed back to the auditorium for the event. After the event was over, we had to leave the same day as we didn’t book the hotel for two nights, and as a result we had to come back to the hotel and get changed instantaneously before leaving the destination. After a long day, we left the hotel at midnight and arrived back home in the early hours of the next day.
It was a tiring but even more exciting personal experience which I was able to take part in, and it would be locked away and cherished in my memories forever.

- Please anwer question Develop a high-level or summary: Human Resource Management Planarrow_forwardWhat is a good response to this post? For this discussion, I'll share a strategy that our company implemented several years ago. It was a significant undertaking, and I remember it well. Our company was going to upgrade our Automated Teller Machine (ATM) to an Interactive Teller Machine (ITM). However, this meant we had to change debit card processors to accomplish this. Changing debit card processors meant a disruption in services for our members as we transitioned from one company to the next. This transition meant that on the day of the transition, the old cards would no longer work, and members would need to start using the new cards they had received in the mail weeks prior. Our goal was to manage this transition as smoothly as possible. Our goal fits with the realities of the external environment and resources only to an extent. We had resources like mailing letters, advertising the change on the mobile app, online banking, and in-branch brochures on completing the transition…arrow_forwardDiscuss 4 interesting KEY POINTS about the Critical Success Factors Between BPM and BPAarrow_forward

Now your responsibilities are going to increase as a team member has decided to transfer departments, leaving your department short staffed. How do you respond to human resources not answering your getting back to you? Do you tell them you are considering leaving your position due to the circumstances?arrow_forwardWhat is a good response to this post? A few years ago, I was working at a third-party delivery service provider for Amazon and I was tasked with streamlining our company’s employee onboarding process. My goal was to reduce the average onboarding time from 15 full work days to 7 full work days without increasing costs or diminishing training experience. The challenge was aligning our limited resources—a small team and existing tools—with this ambitious objective while meeting customer expectations for a smooth and informative experience. To begin, I assessed the overall environment, specifically the training experience our new employees had with onboarding and driver training within our industry. It became clear that many competitors were already shifting towards faster, more user-friendly onboarding processes. Internally, I mapped out our resources, identifying inefficiencies in our current workflows as the primary bottleneck. Armed with this analysis, I strategized a plan to automate…arrow_forwardWhat is a good response to this post? The organization I’ve chosen is Amazon, and the legal risks it faces as it expands into the Swedish e-commerce market. Sweden has a highly unionized workforce with robust labor protections. Amazon’s traditional labor practices have faced criticism and conflicts with Swedish norms, leading to disputes with labor unions. Amazon has been accused of interfering with workers’ right to unionize, including allegations of intimidation, retaliation, and surveillance (Albuquerque, 2024). Amazon upholds principles and has established “Amazon’s Global Human Rights Principles,” which outline its commitment to respecting the human rights of all workers and creating a safe, inclusive, and respectful workplace. However, shareholders believe that these principles can be achieved without unionization and claim that a significant portion of workers rejected union efforts. Amazon is an American business deeply rooted in American culture and might not be the best fit…arrow_forward
- What is a good respponse to this statement? I have chosen Starbucks in Australia for this discussion. Looking into this company you find it almost everywhere in the world with almost ease except in Australia. This is due to the economic risk it is to expand there. Australia is known to love coffee and has overall grown to having a huge industry there so in the companies' thoughts it should do well. However, Starbucks tends to make sweeter drinks at a higher cost compared to the local cafes. Australians also tend to favor the small local cafes in support of small businesses. This caused Starbucks to close most of their locations due to them growing to quickly in the amount stores they had to their overall popularity.arrow_forwardWhat is a good response to this statement?
