Avoiding Wrongful Employee Terminations

Overview
To be wrongfully terminated is to be fired for an illegal reason, which may involve violation of federal antidiscrimination laws or breach of contract. The legal standards governing termination differ substantially depending on whether private-sector and nonunion employees or public-sector and unionized employees are being considered. As the company HR leader, you are accountable to the organization to ensure that all employee terminations are initiated and completed while maintaining strict adherence to current employment laws and EEOC guidelines.

Assessing Affirmative Action policies
In a 3-4-page paper, explore Affirmative Action as it relates to race and employment or college admissions. Review an organization you are familiar with (it can be your former high school, CSU Global, or another college/university, your current employer, or an organization you would like to work for one day) and assess how well they adhere to Affirmative Action policies.
In your paper, provide an analysis of the debates around Affirmative Action as outlined in your reading as well as in the NCSL (Links to an external site.) website. Do you see these debates reflected in the organization you chose to analyze? As a tip, every organization should have a “statement of Affirmative Action” that is publicly posted on their website. Review the organization’s policy and discuss how well the organization adheres to the policies. Are there areas that come up in your review that indicate issues? What are they?

Although Affirmative Action also impacts women workers, college athletes, and members of other groups, for this assignment, we will only focus on marginalized people of color. If you decide to review a college or university, be sure to consider their admissions policies. This is where you will see whether Affirmative Action policies are followed.
The trick in this assignment is to not choose a side—this is not about your opinion (editorial), rather about your ability to research and understand a policy and how well an organization follows that policy (analysis). If you are at a loss on an organization to choose, you can simply do an Internet search with the words “Affirmative Action and Employment policies” and a number of options will come up for you.
It may be helpful to review Affirmative Action policies regarding education and employment and complete the readings for this week before completing the assignment (Chapter 10.6: “Race Ethnicity in the 21st Century”).

Introduction:
The MGT599 Session Long Project is designed to work in parallel with the Case Assignments, which build on each other module by module.
After completing the Module 1 Case Assignment, where you critically evaluated the vision, values, mission statement, and goals/objectives of PepsiCo, and wrote a 6- to 7-page paper addressing the five steps outlined in the Case Assignment instructions, complete the following SLP assignment.
Assignment Instructions:
Write a 3- to 4-page paper comparing Pepsico as you characterized it in your Case Assignment to an organization you are a part of, or an organization you know well. You have broad flexibility for this assignment. You can write about an organization you work in now or worked in previously, an organization you are familiar with, or an organization you are interested in. Military units are excellent examples of organizations, and are perfectly acceptable for this assignment, as well.
Assignment Components:

Compare and apply Pepsico’s vision, mission, values, and goals (based on Step 1 in the Module 1 Case Assignment) to the organization you chose for this assignment.
Based on your critical evaluation of Pepsico’s mission, vision, values, and goals (Step 2 in the Module 1 Case Assignment), compare and apply your conclusions to the organization you chose for this assignment, writing specifically about how your organization, in your opinion, compares with Pepsico.
Based on your consideration of changes and needed improvements (from Step 4 in the Module 1 Case Assignment), perform a similar analysis of your chosen organization, comparing the two organizations and determining which one needs more changes.
To round out this assignment, write a section that explores the key differences in the vision, mission, values, and goals of Pepsico and the organization you chose for this assignment, discussing what each organization can learn from the other.

I’m working on a public health question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

PLEASE SEE BELOW CLASSMATE DISCUSSION ANSWER AND WRITE A response EITHER AGREEING/ DISAGREEING FOR FUTHER ELABORATING ON THE SUBJECT POSTED BY CLASSMATE. (W12 DQ2 SA)

In performing the self-assessment checklist for cultural competence, I scored high on the test. However, cultural competence is a characteristic that those in public health and public service must develop continually. Culture is constantly changing, so the need to keep an open mind and evaluate oneself frequently is a valuable skill to have. 
I recognize that I am empathetic and tend to be accepting of others. Despite this character, there are times when I am less accepting of people and evaluate someone with a judging eye. Furthermore, I noted that I need to admit that my knowledge of some cultures is limited. This limited understanding must spark an intent in me to understand further any culture to which I have little awareness. 
Most importantly, I observed in the self-assessment that I must avoid stereotypical thinking, even if done as a silly example or a joke of a particular person or group of people. Working in the stressful positions I have held, joking about situations and people is seen as a release. Most often, these jokes are to release tension. However, even if not believed, these views and thoughts can take root and cause problems and pain for those targeted. Even light-hearted comments about ones’ own culture can cause negative feelings and distrust in others.
Keeping a watchful eye on my feelings and words is key to maintaining a positive and respectful tone with others. Being open and honest with myself and having conversations with others about their feelings and beliefs can help me maintain a receptive character and help me continue my understanding of other cultures.http://rapworkers.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/c…
