text: Evaluating Physician Knowledge of Commonly Prescribed Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit Discharge Medication's Costs An Observational StudyCapizzi, Allison Nuovo MD1; Kirk, Melissa Nuntapreda MD1; Lee, Venessa Ann MD1; Cushman, Daniel M. MD1American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation: May 8, 2019 - Volume Publish Ahead of Print - Issue - p doi: 10.1097/PHM.0000000000001219 RFS - Education and Training: PDF Only Buy PAP Abstract Author InformationAuthors Article MetricsMetrics The objective of this study was to assess physiatrists' knowledge of the cost of medications commonly prescribed at discharge from inpatient rehabilitation units across the spectrum of practice experience from residents to attending physicians. Investigators contacted 92 pharmacies across 4 major regions of the United States (U.S.) and averaged the cash price of each medication. An electronic survey was created highlighting 17 medications in which physicians estimated the cost of a medication per pill and per month for a 30-day supply. Surveys were sent to all ACGME-accredited programs across the U.S.; 43 participants responded to the survey. Most respondents overestimated the cost of the medications chosen for the survey. There was no significant difference between medication cost knowledge and practice experience (p = 0.497) or post-graduate year of training (p = 0.593). This raises awareness that physiatrists may not know the cost of medications they commonly prescribe at discharge, which may have implications on patient medication compliance, quality of care and patient satisfaction. 1University of Utah Division of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Correspondence: Allison Capizzi, MD, University of Utah, 30 North 1900 East, Salt Lake City, UT, 84132.

The $120 billion wipeout: Facebook suffers biggest value share plunge in corporate history
More than $120billion was wiped off Facebook's value after months of scandals and fresh fears about its future profits.
The company founded by Mark Zuckerberg admitted growth in user numbers had faltered and issued a bombshell warning that profits were set to be squeezed for years.
As brokers rushed to slash their price targets, Facebook's shares fell 19 per cent, or $41.24, to $176.26.
It wiped about $122billion off its value – the biggest one-day drop to ever hit a company. The fall was equivalent to the entire value of Nike and McDonald's.
Facebook crash: Mark Zuckerberg's company admitted growth in user numbers had faltered and issued a bombshell warnings that profits were set to be squeezed for years
The biggest previous drop came in 2000, when Intel saw $91billion knocked off its market cap.
Zuckerberg's personal fortune, closely tied to Facebook's success, was dealt a $16billion blow.
The turmoil came in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica scandal, criticism about fake news, and damaging revelations that Russians used the social network to meddle in US elections, forcing it to review its approach to privacy, data and advertising.
But Amazon sales soar 39%
A boom at Amazon's cloud computing arm helped the tech giant rake in sales of £40billion – or £439million per day.
Sales were up 39 per cent during the three months to the end of June, and it made a £2.9billion profit.
Amazon Web Services raked in £4.6billion, up 48 per cent, as it tightens its grip on the thriving cloud computing market.
Shares jumped 2 per cent to $1,860 in after-hours trading on the Nasdaq, adding £3billion to founder Jeff Bezos's stake.
Worth $900billion last night, Amazon is getting closer to becoming the first $1 trillion company.
Amazon was one of the first to get into cloud computing in 2006. It has managed to hang onto about a third of the cloud computing market even as it has tripled in size over the latest four years – fending off major competition from Microsoft, Google and Alibaba.
Its e-commerce sales leapt 45 per cent to £24billion in North America and 27 per cent to £10billion internationally, during the quarter.
Bezos, 54, talked up the success of Amazon's virtual assistant Alexa. He said: 'The number of Alexa-enabled devices has more than tripled in the past year.'
Zuckerberg predicted profit would be squeezed for years but said investing in security and privacy changes was the right thing to do.
The admission fuelled fears on Wall Street that its business model was under threat, with regulators and lawmakers in the US and Europe turning the screw.
Alongside tough grillings from US lawmakers, Facebook has had to comply with new EU privacy rules.
Zuckerberg said: 'We will continue to invest heavily in security and privacy because we have a responsibility to keep people safe. But as I've said, we're investing so much in security that it will significantly impact our profitability.'
The chief executive admitted the number of users in Europe had fallen from 282m to 279m in the second quarter. In the US and Canada, the user base stayed flat. Overall, it said it had 2.2bn monthly users.
Facebook has been left reeling by the Cambridge Analytica scandal, which saw it criticised after it emerged the social network failed to stop millions of people's data from being used improperly.
And it has also been hammered by critics for the spread of fake news and interference in US elections by Russian users.
The share plunge caused Zuckerberg's fortune to fall by $16billion to about $67billion, says Forbes.
US analyst, Baird, described the results as 'bombshells' and JP Morgan said: 'Facebook's results and outlook are disappointing, but 'startling' is probably a better word. We think few, if any, anticipated this kind of reset.'
Richard Holway, chairman at UK tech analyst house TechMarketView said: 'Teens have been moving to Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger. But now it looks as if overall usage is stalling.'

Carrie Lam as Chief Executive of Hong Kong
The administration of Carrie Lam as Chief Executive of Hong Kong, or Lam administration, officially referred to as "The 5th term Chief Executive of Hong Kong" relates to the period of governance of Hong Kong since the transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong headed by Chief Executive Carrie Lam, between 1 July 2017 and 30 June 2022.

In the 2017 Chief Executive election, Lam received 777 votes in the 1,194-member Election Committee, beating former Financial Secretary John Tsang's 365 votes and retired judge Woo Kwok-hing's 21 votes. Lam was the first female Chief Executive in history, higher than Leung's 689 votes in the last election. She also became the first Chief Executive elected without being the most popular candidate, as she had been trailing behind Tsang in the polls. She pledged to "heal the social divide" and "unite our society to move forward" in her victory speech.[1]
Lam received the appointment from Chinese Premier Li Keqiang on 11 April 2017.
Transitional periodEdit
The Hong Kong government established the Office of the Chief Executive-elect ahead of the election with a controversial decision to site the temporary office in Hong Kong's most expensive business area in Champion Tower on Garden Road, Central. Former postmaster general Jessie Ting Yip Yin-mei was appointed as the head of the office, who Internet users said looked similar to Carrie Lam.[2]
One day after Lam vowed to "heal the social divide" in her victory speech, Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying's government pressed charges against nine key players in the 2014 Occupy protests, immediately sparking controversy whether Leung embarrassed Lam. Leung also blocked Carrie Lam's pledge to scrap Territory-wide System Assessment (TSA) for Primary Three pupils.[3]
On 4 May 2017, former Director of Immigration Eric Chan was appointed the Director of the Office of the Chief Executive-elect as well as the Office of the Chief Executive she was sworn in after 1 July.[4]
Carrie Lam announced her new cabinet on 21 June 2017, with six incumbent ministers keep their portfolios including the three top secretaries.[5]

Extra fundingsEdit
In her first week in office, Carrie Lam offered subsidies to around 40,000 secondary school leavers and promised permanent jobs for more than 2,300 teachers and promised that she would spend the extra HK$5 billion a year on education.[6]
In January 2018, Lam again handed out HK$500 million in extra funding to the Hong Kong's public hospitals amid the deluge of winter flu cases and a severe shortage of nursing staff. The funds would be drawn by the Hong Kong Hospital Authority from its own reserve of HK$1 billion and would later be reimbursed by the government in the financial year 2018/19.[7]
Oath-taking controversyEdit
The legal action by the former Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying and Secretary for Justice Rimsky Yuen had resulted in the unseating of four more pro-democracy legislators, Leung Kwok-hung, Nathan Law, Yiu Chung-yim and Lau Siu-lai on 14 July 2017 after two pro-independence legislators Sixtus Leung and Yau Wai-ching were ousted from the legislature earlier in November 2016. The event caused the quick deterioration of the relations between the pro-democracy camp and the government after the strained relations had been improved compared to Lam's predecessor.[8] Lam pledged she would not target more pro-democrats in oath-taking controversy.[9]
Suppression on localist and pro-independence movementEdit
Localist candidates' disqualificationEdit
In the 2018 Legislative Council by-election after the qualification, the candidacy of Demosistō standing committee member Agnes Chow, was invalidated by the returning officer as she claimed that "the candidate cannot possibly comply with the requirements of the relevant electoral laws, since advocating or promoting 'self-determination' is contrary to the content of the declaration that the law requires a candidate to make to uphold the Basic Law and pledge allegiance to the [Hong Kong Special Administrative Region]." The European Union issued a statement warning that banning Chow from the by-election "risks diminishing Hong Kong's international reputation as a free and open society".[10] Carrie Lam defended the returning officer's decision, but denied that she had anything to do with the returning officer, stating that "there are absolutely no grounds for that sort of accusation or allegation of pressure."[11]
In the November 2018 Kowloon West by-election, the candidacy of the ousted legislator Lau Siu-lai was also disqualified by the Returning Officer as her advocated for "self-determination" on her 2016 electoral platform.[12] Her ally and elected legislator Eddie Chu, who signed the same statement in the 2016 election, was also barred from running in the rural representative election in December 2018. Lam supported the Returning Officer's decision that "had been made in accordance with the Rural Representative Election Ordinance."[13]
Banning on pro-independence partyEdit
In July 2018, the Hong Kong Police Force unprecedentedly served the convenor of the pro-independence Hong Kong National Party Chan Ho-tin a notice under the Societies Ordinance and sought to ban the Party. The police claimed that the party has engaged in sedition and that the party may be banned on grounds of national security with respect to Chinese territorial integrity. The notice contained highly-detailed surveillance material on the party leadership's public engagements. On 24 October 2018, Chan Ho-tin and party spokesman Jason Chow Ho-fai filed appeals against the ban with the Chief eExecutive and Executive Council. The two filed separate appeals to make clear they were acting as individuals, not as a party.[14][15]
In August, a controversy erupted in 2018 when the Foreign Correspondents' Club (FCC) hosted a lunchtime talk with Chan Ho-tin on 14 August. A Financial Times journalist Victor Mallet, vice-chairman of the press organisation, chaired the session.[16] The event was opposed by the governments of China and Hong Kong, because the issue of independence supposedly crossed one of the "bottom lines" on national sovereignty.[17][18] Upon returning to Hong Kong after a visit to Bangkok, Mallet was denied a working visa by the Hong Kong government.[19] Mallet was subjected to a four-hour interrogation by immigration officers on his return from Thailand on Sunday 7 October before he was finally allowed to enter Hong Kong on a seven-day tourist visa.[20] Carrie Lam refused to make any comment, only stating that the Immigration Department was not obliged to explain individual cases.[21]
Infrastructure projectsEdit
Express Rail Link co-location planEdit
The proposed "co-location arrangement" of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link has sparked concerns that it might constitute a breach of the Hong Kong Basic Law and undermine Hong Kong's autonomy of "one country, two systems", participially with immigration control. Under the arrangement, mainland customs officers will be allowed to set up checkpoints and exercise jurisdiction at the West Kowloon Station.[22]
On 28 December 2017, the Hong Kong Bar Association criticised the arrangement for distortion of the Basic Law, stating it damages the rule of law in Hong Kong as Article 18 was clearly written and leaves no room for any interpretation which would allow Chinese law to apply in any certain part of HKSAR. Since there is no legal basis, confidence in the "one country, two systems" principle will decline.[23] The Hong Kong government has defended the co-location agreement, stating that rule of law isn't damaged nor does undermine the Basic Law.[24][25] Carrie Lam responded to criticism by stating "some Hong Kong legal professionals have an elitist mentality or double standards, that is, they think that Hong Kong's legal system is supreme, and that the mainland legal system – a big country with a 1.3 billion population – is wrong." Her statement prompted widespread disbelief as she appeared to defend China's legal system being better than Hong Kong's legal system, hypocrisy as she herself is seen as an elite out of touch with society, damaged the One Country, two systems principle and for attacking the character rather the arguments of Hong Kong's top lawyers.[26]
The long-debated plan was finally passed on 14 June 2018 in the Legislative Council by 40 to 20 votes after Legislative Council President Andrew Leung capped debate time for the bill at 36 hours to counter pro-democrats' filibustering.[27] The cross-border Express Rail Link was opened on 22 September 2018, followed by the opening of another cross-border infrastructure Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge on 23 October 2018 by paramount leader Xi Jinping. Lam entering the venue side-by-side with Xi and ahead of Macau Chief Executive Fernando Chui and First Vice Premier Han Zheng. The entrance raised eyebrows among those who saw it as a departure from protocol for her to walk in front of top mainland officials.[28]
Lantau Tomorrow VisionEdit
In October 2018, Lam launched a development plan in her second policy address which suggested the construction of artificial islands with a total area of about 1,700 hectares through massive land reclamation near Kau Yi Chau and Hei Ling Chau of the eastern waters of Lantau Island.[29] The project meets with controversies and opposition for its high cost of estimated HK$500 billion (US$63.8 billion) – amounting to half of the city's fiscal reserves, as well as environmental concerns.
National Anthem BillEdit
The Hong Kong government has proposed the local implementation of the National Anthem Law of the People's Republic of China. Lam dismissed the calls for a public consultation for the controversial bill as some provisions deemed as too vague by the pro-democrats. Lam stated that "I do not understand why one has to insist on the term 'public consultation'," calling the term only a "label". She also insisted the proposed bill only targets people who deliberately insult the national anthem and the residents not to worry about it.[30]
Late 2018 to early 2019 crisesEdit
UGL case closureEdit
On 12 December 2018, the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) announced it would not take any "further investigative action" against Leung Chun-ying over his recipient of HK$50 million from the Australian engineering firm UGL, ending the four-year marathon probe. The Department of Justice also issued a statement claiming there was "insufficient evidence to support a reasonable prospect of conviction" against Leung for any criminal offence.[31]
Carrie Lam defended Secretary for Justice Teresa Cheng who was strongly criticised for not following the conventional procedure of seeking external legal advice in the UGL case. Lam said Cheng had made a profession call and she hoped the UGL saga, which had been a point of contention for four years, could finally end.[32]
Age threshold of the Elderly CSSAEdit
In January 2019, the Lam administration announced that the age threshold for elderly Comprehensive Social Security Assistance (CSSA) would jump from 60 to 65, starting in February. She faced opposition from both the pro-Beijing and pro-democracy legislators, in which she responded that it was the Legislative Council who approved the change in the CSSA scheme, as part of the 2018 Budget. Her remarks attracted backlashes from the legislators as well as the public. On 18 January, Lam backed down by announcing that people affected would get a new employment support supplement that would cover the cut. The Lam government also made an U-turn by suspending the controversial plan to impose a HK$200 penalty on Hong Kong's senior citizens claiming welfare payments without joining a job programme.[33]
$4,000 handout controversyEdit
The government was also under fire by the HK$4,000 handout scheme proposed in the 2018 Budget in which adult residents would get up to HK$4,000 if they do not own property or get government benefits. The application procedure was criticised for being too complicated. Applicants were initially required to provide an address proof. Facing the criticism, the government later waived the address proof requirement.[33]
Amid the UGL case and the mismanagements, the average score of Carrie Lam further plunged to a new low in mid January to 50.9 in the poll by the University of Hong Kong, dropping 5.5 points from the previous month. Her net approval rating fell 21 percentage points to a new low.[34] In another poll conducted by Chinese University of Hong Kong, Lam scored the lowest point of only 50.9 per cent – 1.8 percentage points lower than the previous month.[35] Lam softened her tone after the widespread criticism. "The implementation of these measures has made people question the ability of this administration to govern," Lam said. "I completely accept this criticism."[33]
Cross-harbour tunnel toll planEdit
The Lam administration first presented a cross-harbour tunnel toll plan in January 2019 to balance the traffic between the three cross-harbour tunnels by raising tolls at the publicly operated overused Cross-Harbour Tunnel and Eastern Harbour Tunnel, while lowering them for the privately run Western Harbour Tunnel which was underused because of its higher charges. But Secretary for Transport and Housing Frank Chan abruptly withdrew it after strong opposition from the Legislative Council. The government made two changes to the motion in the hope of getting more support, but legislators across the political spectrum remained unconvinced. In March, Carrie Lam said her government has decided to shelve the plan for the second time as the government could not get enough votes in the legislature, symbolising the first defeat of the Lam administration.[36]
Extradition bill controversyEdit
A 19-year-old Hong Kong resident being arrested and tried in Taiwan for killing his 20-year-old girlfriend in 2018 sparked the debate of Hong Kong's fugitive law. At present, the two ordinances, the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Ordinance, are not applicable to the requests for surrender of fugitive offenders and mutual legal assistance between Hong Kong and Mainland China, Macau and Taiwan and therefore the government does not have any legislation enabling it to request for extraditing the suspect.[37] In February 2019, the government proposed a changes to fugitive laws to plug the "legal loophole" by establishing a mechanism for case-by-case transfers of fugitives to any jurisdiction with which the city lacks a formal extradition treaty.[38]
Opposition expressed fears about the city opening itself up to the long arm of Mainland Chinese law and Hongkongers could be victimised under a different legal system and urged the government to establish an extradition arrangement with Taiwan only.[38] The business community also raised concerns over the mainland's court system. The American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) criticised that mainland's "criminal process is plagued by deep flaws, including lack of an independent judiciary, arbitrary detention, lack of fair public trial, lack of access to legal representation and poor prison conditions".[39] The Liberal Party and the Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong, the two pro-business parties, suggested 15 economic crimes being exempted from the 46 offences covered by the extradition proposal.[40] The government backed down on proposal to after business chambers voice concern by exempting nine economic crimes. Only offences punishable by at least three years in prison would trigger the transfer of a fugitive, up from the previously stated one year.[41]
Three human rights groups, the Amnesty International, Hong Kong Human Rights Monitor, and Human Rights Watch opposed the bill, warning the extradition proposal could be used as a tool to intimidate critics of the Hong Kong or Chinese governments, peaceful activists, human rights defenders and putting those extradited at risk of torture or ill-treatment. On 28 April, estimated 130,000 protesters joined the march against proposed extradition law. The turnout was the largest since an estimated 510,000 joined the annual July 1 protest in 2014.[42]
Lam also said the mainland was never intentionally excluded from the extradition laws ahead of the handover of Hong Kong in 1997. "It was not what was said, that there were fears over the mainland's legal system after the handover, or that China had agreed to it. This is all trash talk," Lam said. But her claim was refuted by last colonial governor of Hong Kong Chris Patten and last colonial Chief Secretary Anson Chan.[43]
On 24 May, 11 European Union representatives met with Carrie Lam to carry out a démarche formally protesting against the bill.[44][45] On the same day, eight commissioners from the U.S. Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC) wrote to Chief Executive Carrie Lam asking that the bill be "withdrawn from consideration", stating that "the proposed legislation would irreparably damage Hong Kong's cherished autonomy and protections for human rights by allowing the Chinese government to request extradition of business persons, journalists, rights advocates, and political activists residing in Hong Kong." The commissioners added that the bill could "negatively impact the unique relationship between the U.S. and Hong Kong" – referring to the longstanding U.S. policy of giving the city preferential treatment over mainland China based on the United States-Hong Kong Policy Act.[46]
Lam survived the first motion of no-confidence against her with the backing of the pro-Beijing majority in the legislature on 29 May. Democratic Party legislator Andrew Wan who moved the motion claimed that Lam "blatantly lied" about the extradition bill and misled the public and the international community, as Lam claimed that colonial officials did not deliberately exclude China from extradition laws ahead of the 1997 handover. He also called Lam to resign as her popularity reaching a new low in a recent poll.[47]
On 9 June, a record breaking of 1.03 million protesters marched in the streets against the extradition bill and called for her to step down.[48] Following the 10 June violent clashes, Lam spoke in the next morning, admitting that the size of the rally showed there were "clearly still concerns" over the bill but refused to withdraw the bill.[49] She refused to draw in to the questions of whether she would fulfil her promise that she would resign "if mainstream opinion makes me no longer able to continue the job" in her 2017 Chief Executive election campaign, only saying that it was important to have a stable governing team "at a time when our economy is going to undergo some very severe challenges because of external uncertainties."[50] On 12 June, the protest outside the government headquarters later descended into violent clashes with the police. Amid the clashes, Lam appeared in a TVB interview where Lam was in tears when she was asked if she betrayed Hong Kong, "I grew up with all Hong Kong people and my love for this place has prompted me to make many personal sacrifices." Instead of selling out Hong Kong, she said her husband had told her that after she became Chief Executive she had "sold herself to Hong Kong".[51] She said she had done nothing against her conscience and would not withdraw the bill. However within three hours, Lam released another video with a turn of the tone, strongly reprimanding protesters for the "blatant, oragnised riot" and condemning it as "not an act of love for Hong Kong."[52]
After the intense violent clashes, Carrie Lam finally backed down and announced a pause in the passage of the extradition bill on 15 June. She said that the Security Bureau would suspend the second reading of the bill and would not set a time frame on the seeking of public views.[53] However, she dodged the question if she would step down and refused to apologise.[53]
On 16 June, an estimation of nearly two million protesters as claimed by the organisers flooded the streets demanding a full withdrawal of the bill.[54][55][56][57][58] The police says that there are 338,000 at its peak, but admitted that it should be more as only those on the original route were counted.[59] The government issued a statement in the evening where Carrie Lam apologised to Hong Kong residents and promised to "sincerely and humbly accept all criticism and to improve and serve the public."[60] A government source told to the South China Morning Post that with the administration making it clear that there was no timetable to relaunch the suspended bill, the legislation would die a "natural death" when the current term of the Legislative Council ended in July next year.[61]
Amid the social upheaval, Lam saw her approval rating fall to a record low of 23% and her disapproval rise to 67%, according to a survey released by the University of Hong Kong's Public Opinion Programme. Her support rating was at 32.8 points, down from 63.6 points during her first week in office, the lowest any Chief Executive ever received. Support for the SAR government also fell to 18%, the lowest since the 2003 political crisis.[62]

A Report on Sainsbury's Resource Management
My aim is to produce an analytical report on how Sainsbury manages resources. I?m going to show the importance of the human resources management to the business, providing a comprehensive overview of all four of the following functions and focussing in depth on one of the functions:
Human resources planning
Recruitment and selection
Training and development
Performance management
Sainsbury?s Supermarket Ltd is part of J Sainsbury plc, one of the country?s leading retailers. J Sainsbury operates three separate store chains and a bank in the United Kingdom and a Supermarket chain in the usa. With over 450 stores nation-wide last year sales of over £18.4 billion were generated. Sainsbury?s Supermarkets Ltd, parts of J Sainsbury?s group plc are one of the UK?s largest retail organisations. Sainsbury is a very popular supermarket, but what many people don?t realise is that the group also includes Sainsbury?s Bank, Home base and International Holdings, spanning locations across North America and Egypt. Human resources planning used to be called manpower planning. It has been defined as: ?the activity of management which is aimed at coordinating the requirements for and the availability of different types of employee.? The reasons for human resources planning. Human resources planning is used to encourage employers to develop clear links between their business plans and their HR plans. Also to control staff costs and the numbers of people employed effectively. To make it more easier for them to work our where they most value their organisation and to create an Equal Opportunities policy. The human resources function involves the management of people. The human resources function exists in all organisations, either as one of the roles of a general manager in a small firm or as a different department in a large company like Sainsbury?s. The key areas of this function area: Training and development -??????????- To allow new employees at Sainsbury to settle in quickly; to help employees develop and contribute more to the work of the organisation. Training is also to help the employees reach the standards of their customers needs e.g.: Customer Service Assistant: Within this role employees will be ensuring that the customers at Sainsbury?s should receive a great service. Employees will be fully trained as a cashier, but may be also required to help customers with the selection of goods and packaging. Good communication skills and willingness to help others are amongst the skills required for this role. Appraisal Appraisal interviews are used to review an individual?s performance in a job and to plan for the future. This is ideal for new Managers or as a refresher for existing Managers who would benefit from a greater understanding of the appraisal process. It is also appropriate for support staffs that have employees reporting to them. Appraisal at Sainsbury is to encourage employees to achieve their potential; to support employees in their attempts to achieve personal goals. This system is designed to improve the performance of the workers at Sainsbury so Sainsbury could have a strong and good quality workforce. Recruitment and Selection ===== Sainsbury has to ensure that organisational objectives are met; bring in new ideas; to appoint suitably qualified and skilled employees. Recruitment and selection is to control the inflow and outflow of the business e.g. hiring and firing. Dismissal -??? The hrm department at Sainsbury has to under stand the procedures involved in lawfully dismissing an employee. The procedures will be a verbal warning, written warning and a final warning. . The employee has to sign a contract of an agreement that he or she cannot be dismissed unfairly. This is to protect both employer and employee at Sainsbury. All employers must issue a statement of written particulars to new employees within eight weeks of employment and ensure all existing employees have written particulars of employment. E2 externel influences Sainsbury Local Employment Trends This gives a general idea of the availability of labour and helps the business to know whether it will be difficult to recruit. The latest quarterly data from the Labour Force Survey estimates that 148,000 Birmingham residents are in employment, made up of 84,000 males and 64,000 females. Sainsbury have to change their recruitment policies in order to attract more female employees within the business. Economic Activity rates are one of the key indicators for anyone interested in labour market statistics. Statistics from the Labour Force Survey (lfs) provide the most up to date economic activity rates. The table below highlights the fact that Birmingham has a higher rate of resident workforce participation than Wales but is slightly below the UK average. % Economic Activity Rate of Resident Population All Residents of Working Age Male Residents of Working Age Female Residents of Working Age Birmingham 77.1 82.4 71.9 Wales 73.6 78.8 67.9 Great Britain 78.8 84.3 72.8 The table below compares the economic activity rate for total persons by age group for Birmingham, Wales and Great Britain for the Quarter December 2000 to February 2001. Wales has a significantly lower participation rate for those aged 50 to retirement age. Sainsbury?s wants to change the percentage of retirement within Birmingham .to recruit over 50?s Sainsbury have to offer more employment incentives as the number unemployed is decreasing. Economic Activity Rates of All Persons by Age Group All Persons of Working Age Persons Aged 19 -19 20 -24 25 ? 34 35 ? 49 50 - Retirement 16 ? 24 25 ? 49 Birmingham 77.1 # 70.8 84.9 81.4 68.1 69.7 83.0 Wales 73.6 65.3 77.6 81.7 81.0 58.6 71.9 81.3 Great Britain 78.8 63.6 75.2 84.5 85.4 70.3 70.0 85.0 Workforce Employment Statistics The Office for National Statistics has replaced the Annual Employment Survey with the Annual Business Inquiry. The abi for 2000 estimated a total of 168,100 employees working in Birmingham. Sainsbury employ 200 ? 250 employees a day. Employment changes have dramatically influenced the growth within the online grocery providers, over the past three years; the number of employees has increased significantly. The table and chart below compares the industrial structure of Birmingham, Wales and Great Britain by broad industrial group as recorded in the Annual Business Inquiry for December 2000. Employment In Birmingham, Wales & Great Britain 2000 Broad Industrial Group Birmingham Wales Great Britain Total number employed % Of Birmingham Total Total number employed % Of Wales total Total number employed % Of GB total Agriculture and fishing 250 0.1 12,700 1.2 243,900 1.0 Energy and water 1,900 1.1 8,150 0.8 172,200 0.7 Manufacturing 15,400 9.2 200,950 18.6 3,799,850 15.1 Construction 6,900 4.1 56,750 5.3 1,126,600 4.5 Distribution, hotels and restaurants 35,700 21.2 240,800 22.3 6,010,250 23.9 Transport and communications 7,900 4.7 44,600 4.1 1,525,500 6.1 Banking, finance and insurance, etc 33,050 19.7 130,900 12.1 4,952,450 19.7 Public administration, education & health 53,550 31.7 326,050 30.3 6,049,650 24.1 Other services 13,650 8.1 56,650 5.3 1,260,150 5.0 Total 168,100 100.0 1,077,550 100.0 25,140,550 100.0 Unemployment rate in Birmingham -?????????????? The unemployment rate within Birmingham is 50% less then the general employment rate within the UK. However, this is good news for Sainsbury?s because they have more people to employ within the business. At Sainsbury they are essentially four key stages involved, in the process of human resources planning. Stock tacking -????? Stock tacking asks questions on what the quality of staff available in Sainsbury? It uses the following techniques. Job analysis ? this means gathering information on the availability of all the jobs at Sainsbury. Skills audit ? this is a survey for all existing staff, to see what skills, qualifications and experiences the have. Performance review- this involves looking at the performance of all employees in order to: identify staff potential and to identify where staff have move training needs. Forecasting Supply -???????- This asks questions on ?how many employees will Sainsbury have in the future?? It there fore means looking at internal external sources of labour. When Sainsbury looks at the total supply of labour within the company, it is very important to look at the labour turn over. There are three main ways to calculate employee turnover. Annual labour turn over index- tells you what percentages of the workforce left in a year. Stability index- this calculation gives Sainsbury a good idea of how long employees are staying within the organisation. Sickness- sickness is another influence on the internal supply of labour. If there is a high level of sickness absences, then this affects the supply of labour very badly. If the absence is due to a genuine reason then there is not much you can do in the short term. Sainsbury has to be aware of sickness absences to maintain a strong workforce. In most cases sickness absences be bogus. If this situation is not tackled then this can cause poor morale amongst the employees who are attending work. The workers will feel that the managers are ?soft? for letting people get away with it. Sickness absences needs monitoring against: ? Performance in the previous year ? Trends in other organisations in the same industrial sector ? National sickness absence figures Ways of controlling and monitoring against: ? Keeping proper records of sickness for all staff ? A policy of sick visiting by the personnel manager or by the company nurse ? Return to work interviews after one day of absence; this puts pressure on people who regularly have the odd day off ill but do not want the embarrassment of an interview each time ? A clear statement to staff that regular periods of unexplained sickness could lead to a disciplinary procedure or even dismissal Accident Sainsbury?s have to keep records on their accident rates within the organisation like all other organisations. Better health and Safety procedures and the use of EU, have reduced the level of accidents at workplaces. A large factor has been the closure of many unsafe, old-fashioned factories, steel work and coalmines. Succession This only applies to employees at line manager level and above. Succession planning should include an estimate of what managerial jobs will be available in the future, analyse what skills those jobs will require and to, review the strengths and weaknesses of existing staff. For example the human resources department at Sainsbury to make sure that when someone in the customer service department leaves then they have to train someone else to take over the job. Local skills shortages -?????????- Sainsbury?s and the Learning and Skills Council (lsc) have formed a partnership to provide an estimated 15,000 hours of training per week to help tackle Birmingham?s and the UK ?s IT skills shortage. The £15 million venture will serve IT qualifications to shoppers by creating three new I.T. Now at Sainsbury?s learning centres. Led by the LSC?s National Contracts Service and Newbury and Reading Colleges, the new initiative is designed to take business-relevant courses to learners rather than waiting for learners to come to them. Sainsbury need to be aware of these local shortages in order to develop their own training programme to make sure there is a constant supply of trained workers for their company. Shoppers will be able to combine their weekly shop with IT tuition, which will be available during supermarket opening hours at the in-store IT learning centres. The tuition can be followed at the student?s own pace and over 200 courses will be available. All courses will provide industry-recognised training in a variety of programmes from basic word processing to advanced courses in web design and digital cameras. The concept was first tested at the Sainsbury?s Calcot (Reading) store where 3,000people graduated over 22 months. The success of this project, supported by Newbury and Reading Colleges, has led to the project?s wider rollout throughout England. Newbury and Reading Colleges, continuing to work in partnership, will provide support during the roll out and for the co-ordination of activities within the centres. Competition for employees Sainsbury has to be well aware of local competitors within the local area who are expanding or looking for more employees. Sainsbury have to ensure that their workers enjoy working at Sainsbury and are motivated in the job so it?s unlikely for them to leave. If the employees at Sainsbury would move to the competitors such as Asda and Tesco then hrm department is responsible to plan to fill the vacancies left. High street supermarkets stores such as Sainsbury have not been very affected through employment changes, because they have been established for several years. Sainsbury supermarket stores are quite large in size, usually employing 200 ? 250 employees a day. Availability of Labour -?????????- The amount of labour in a particular area depends on how many people they can employ. Now a days transport allows Sainsbury to recruit from further areas but some provision still needs to be made, e.g. a work bus. If Sainsbury had a little labour availability and they were forced to recruit people from further areas, then the hrm department of Sainsbury will have to organise some type of transport for the workers. If many employees were recruited form one particular area then a bus could be a viable, with a central pick up point. E3 ? Recruitment and Selection -??????????? Recruitment and selection is one of the most important parts of the HR department at Sainsbury. Equal opportunities legislation governing recruitment and selection processes, those responsible for recruitment and selection need to develop there interviewing skills towards the competence/behavioural approaches to ensure stronger validity of candidates to performance on the job. When Sainsbury is recruiting a new member into the company, they need to produce a set of documents, which enables them to complete their process efficiently. The first document is a Job specification ? a job description explains the mains tasks required in a job role. All organisations have a job description for every job from the cleaner to the assistant manager. When drawing up a job description the personnel department has a number of alternatives. These are: The line manager can draw up a description or the existing jobholder or the Human Resources Manager can also interview the jobholder. The main features of a job description are:
The job title
The location of the job
What the organisation does
The main purpose of the job
The tasks required in the job role (in detail)
The standards that the job holder will require to achieve
Pay and other benefits
Promotion prospects
The person whom the job holder reports
The person who reports to the job holder
All businesses like Sainsbury have a job description so people who are applying for the job know what is involved in the job and what the pay is and where the location is. The business can use this to measure performance and is an advantage to both the applier and the business. The other document is a person specification, this document shows what the person needs for the job role. The best-known method of drawing up person specification is called the seven-point plan originally devised by Alec Rodger. This bases the person specification upon seven separate groups of characteristics: Physical health and appearance- this includes grooming, looks, dress sense, voice, hearing and eyesight as well as general health matters. Attainments- this includes educational qualifications such as GCSEs, GNVQs, A levels and degrees and vocational qualifications such as NVQs and job experience. General intelligence- this is estimated by IQ tests and by assessments of general reasoning ability. Special aptitudes- what special skills does a person have? These include skills with words, with numbers, with musical instruments, with artistic technique and with mechanical equipment. Interests- are they intellectual or practical or social or a mixture of them all? Disposition- this is an assessment of the person?s acceptability by other people, leadership qualities, the person?s emotional stability and self-reliance. Circumstances- factors such as age whether single or married, whether mobile or not. Person specification was used to contribute towards the advertisement. This document comes in handy for both business and applier. When the applicant is applying for the job, he/she will know what person qualities the organisation is looking for. After the job specification and the person specification the HR department will assemble an advert, which takes aspects from both documents in order to attract people for the job. Sainsbury draw up their own advertisement and then the newspaper types up the final version. Before writing up an advertisement the employer must determine exactly what is wanted from the job being advertised. When you are writing up an advertisement the following thing must be included: Job description- what the job requires the person to do. Type of person- what type of person is required for the job. It?s illegal to specify a particular sex or someone of a particular racial origin, but they are an exception (e.g. you could advertise for a Chinese origin to work at a Chinese restaurant as a Chef). Pay and conditions- this should state what the pay and conditions are. Eg holidays, hours pension arrangements. Also should state that if it is part time, fulltime, temporary or permanent. Place of work- this should state the location of the job How to apply- the advertisement should tell you whether you should apply by telephone, application form or writing to the organisation. Depth of detail- Ethics and honesty- Placing the advertisement- After the advertisement the company will have to decide between using a CV or an application form as well, each documents has its benefits to each party selling the prospective employee to a new job. Using the information from the application document, the business will decide what people will get an interview at the company. To get more information of the person that has been chosen for an interview, the company will ask her or she. At Sainsbury?s when a person has been recommended for a job than they are placed in an introduction programme, this helps them know how the company runs they business day to day and what their exact role will be. When there is a vacancy to be filled at Sainsbury the hrm department will need to consider who should fill the vacancy and also several factors will be recommended If the department decides that they want to recruit within the business then this becomes a benefit to the employee because he/she will not need to go through induction training. If the department decides to recruit outside the business then the business will need to advertise the advert. Where the advert will be placed will need to be considered by the hrm department eg job centre, newspaper or on the Internet ect. Sainsbury mainly has application forms within the local stores for people who want to apply. After Sainsbury have decided whether to advertise after selecting that the vacancy should be filled externally then the hrm department will need to select their employees. This procedure is done through an interview where the interviewer goes through the application forms to see what people will be good for the job. When planning an interview, the hrm department at Sainsbury will need to be prepared for what questions they need to ask. Interviewing is the final stage of process and are arranged for all kind of jobs, the interviewer must ask ?what are my objectives?? What am I looking for? And how will I phrase the questions I am going to ask? In the interview the applicant can also ask questions to the interviewer about the business also about his promotional opportunities, holiday arrangement within the company. When conducting an interview the legal requirements on legislation will need to be considered, such as Sex discrimination, Race discrimination and Disability discrimination Acts. The person giving the interview cannot ask different questions to a disabled person then he/she will to a non- disabled person because that will be discriminating. So to be fair, Sainsbury will need to write out a set of questions to ask all the applicants regarding their sex, race or on their disability. The recruitment team have to make sure that the applicants who where not successful are not felt discriminated in any kind of way and the applicant who is found successful will need to be informed. Sainsbury have a panel of interviewers who meet the applicant together so the interviewer uses their opinions the selection procedure. E4- training and development. They are two types of training methods they are on the job training and of the job training also there is induction training. On the job training is when the employees train at their work place. For many people they enjoy the direct link with their job and can see more clearly how relevant the training is to the performance of the job. Off the job training is when you attend courses at a college or mat a local training centre away form the work place. This type training is important to an employee?s career development as well as being an integral part of a training programme. Sainsbury prefer to use on the job training because it is more suitable for their workplace and you can see how their working progress is at work. It also increases the number of productivity. Induction training is for new employees to the organisation. The successful job applicant at Sainsbury is provided with some sort of induction training. This is very useful programme for both, business and employee. When you are training you could gain non-transferable skills or transferable skills. Non-transferable skills are extremely specific to the job held area a little use in any other job. Transferable skills can be used in a wide variety of other jobs later on. People with transferable skills are more useful to employees because they are quicker at learning and cheap to train. Training is important to all business because it keeps the staff up dated and increases motivation and efficiency also gives a good customer service. E5 performance management As I said before Sainsbury usually gives an induction training when some one new comes to the job. Then after the induction training Sainsbury appraisals the staff to see if they made most of their training and whether they should be promoted. Performance management is the systematic process of monitoring the results of activities; collecting and analyzing performance information to track progress toward planning results Sainsbury agree that employees are their most important assets and need to be treated fairly. The good performance of employee?s management s has an effect on the organization?s success, in terms of profitability. Sainsbury give out financial rewords to most people who complete the training programme. Training is designed to keep employees motivated and is convinced to complete their training by rewarding them with financial gain. Motivation comprises of the need for employees and controls their action. Using motivation techniques can improve productivity and customer service. Also employee satisfaction leads to good service that leads to customer satisfaction. Maslows- Hierarchy of needs This theory is based on meeting staff needs with in the workplace and suggests that meeting their needs can lead to be fill are: - Self- fulfilment- researching your full potential Self-esteem needs- status and recognition, achievement and independence Social needs- love, friendship, a sense of belonging part of a team Safety needs- protection against danger, fair treatment, job security Physiological needs- food, rest and shelter Mc Gregor- Theory x and theory y They are two types of main types of managers. Theory x managers tend to have the point of view that the average dislikes and will try to avoid it. Therefore the managers must control direct and punish them to get them to work towards business objectives. Theory y suggests that the ordinary person does not dislike work; it all depends on the conditions in which the work takes place. If people are committed to objectives, they will be motivated towards achieving them the biggest motivation factor is the personal satisfaction of completing the job. Tailors- principles of scientific management Managers assumed that people were alike and that their motivations were relatively simple. It suggests that, their managers could program workers actions. Taylor believed that monetary rewards were an important motivating factor. Higher rates of pay could encourage increased output. Hertzberg?s- two-factory theory This theory identifies a range of dissatisfiers and satisfiers Dissatisfiers Ø Low pay Ø Poor working conditions Ø Poor relationships between employees Ø Unfair management Ø Lack of growth and development He suggests that these types of factors could lead to poor level of output and increase sickness levels. He identifies that the following factors would motivate employees. Satisfiers Ø Recognition of effort and performance Ø The nature of the job Ø Sense of achievement Ø Opportunity for promotion. E6 training Sainsbury has a comprehensive range of training and development programmes available to employees. These cover both technical competency and skills training and are linked to performance management and carer development structures. ssl offers ranges of programmes leading to a national vocational qualification (nvq) to its employees, including retail operations, administration, and customer service and craft bakery, all at level 2. Structured training programmes include the retail scheme (rts), an nvq programme and new deal. About 2 percent of the employees on training programmes are funded through government training scheme. Including rts trainees, nvq trainees aged between 18 and 24, and new deal clients. Sainsbury works with the national training partnership (ntp) to obtain government funding for trainees across the country. There are 25 training and enterprise councils (TECs) involved in funding trainees through this arrangement. They are 56 government-funded trainees working towards nvq level 2 in retailing at the time of inspection. A further four trainees were working towards an nvq in administration at level 2 and four trainees were working towards nvq in bakery. There are seven New Deal clients. Sainsbury has a contract5 with the employment service under the large organisation element of New Deal. The national training organisation predicts that there will be a huge growth in the number of employment opportunities available in the sector until the year 2006. The training programme will last two years and offers a number of placements. After 18 months you can self-select for a 6-month place in an area based on your experience over the past year and a half. If trainees want to complete their functional programme then all graduates benefit from a best in class 2-year training and development offer which enables them to build and develop their personal and management skills.
A Report on Sainsbury's Resource Management 8.5 of 10 on the basis of 1590 Review.
