Fact Check Holidays Unfinishable Haunted House Claim Somewhere in the US is a haunted house attraction so scary that no visitor has ever completed a tour of it Rating Legend About this rating Origin Belief in the mythical too scary to complete house of horrors appears to date at least to the mid1980s predating even the 1990s burst of popularity that made haunted house attractions all the rage Examples Collected via email 1999 I have heard for YEARS about a supposed Haunted Hospital here in Ohio Not actually haunted but a haunted house attraction set in a hospital Supposedly its very scary and if you can make it through all the floors you get your money back And no one ever makes it all the way through Ive heard this story from MANY people but NOONE knows exactly where it is Ive heard Dayton OH Columbus OH even KY Collected via email 1998 The first time I heard this was in middle school in the suburbs of Detroit MI There was supposedly a huge haunted house set up in a 5 story abandoned building in downtown Detroit The admission was around 2500 but you could get it back in 500 increments with each level you completed The house was supposed to have the scarriest attractions so no one could complete it Some of these included live snakes spiders and insects Secret doors dropaway floor slides etc No exact location of the house was ever given Recently I heard the story again at college in Austin Texas On Halloween two of my friends were going to Dallas to try and find the 5 story haunted house but I told them it was an urban legend Variations Patrons of the haunted house either recover a specific dollar amount per floor completed or they get all of their entry fees back upon completion of the entire attraction The toohorrifyingtocomplete haunted house that refunds money tale has been heard as a local legend in Oklahoma Georgia Oregon Illinois Michigan Texas Ohio Wisconsin Iowa Tennessee and North Carolina Every October in communities from coast to coast such attractions seemingly pop up out of nowhere complete with gory settings of horrific scenes and populated by a staff of fearsome frightmasters whose only purpose is to elicit screams from those thrillseekers whove paid to walk through the house On a larger scale amusement parks in large cities are routinely turned into frightthemed afterdark attractions eg Knotts Berry Farm located near Anaheim California reinvents itself on October evenings as Knotts Scary Farm Young and old alike revel in the search for the ultimate scare constantly seeking thrills that will both shock them right down to their booties yet do so in a perfectly safe fashion Against such a backdrop whispers about a haunted house too terrifying for anyone to get all the way through fall upon highly receptive ears Such a house would prove an irresistible challenge to those determined to prove they cant be startled by anything as well as to those who just like a good heartstopping scare and dont mind paying for it This mythical house of terror has been rumored to exist all over the United States Wherever its been told teens who have heard the rumor have breathlessly gone scampering on what would later prove to be naught but a snipe hunt The attraction they searched for never existed Common elements of the rumor are statements that the house has a specified number of floors or levels and visitors are charged an exorbitant fee for entering but get back a specified dollar amount for each floor or level completed Ultimately according to scuttlebutt those who complete the full tour get back every cent they paid to get in In the same breath however one hears that no one has yet managed this feat this place has proved too darned scary for those whove so far tried it Some versions even posit that a few visitors never came out the exit and were later found dead on the top floor To fill the need created by the legend haunted attractions have cropped up that offer money back to those who complete the tour These houses arent so scary they cant be completed however they employ a gimmick of some sort that renders them practically unfinishable such as mazes that befuddle the intrepid Other spooktaculars of this ilk have been said to employ monsters who toss patrons out near the end of the attraction or to present visitors with an openly dangerous final path to glory that few are fool enough to risk life and limb on Wishful rumors aside the ultimate haunted house attraction of all time was the Halloweenified home of Richard Garriott better known as Lord British the creator of the Ultima series of computer games of Austin Texas Garriotts 4500squarefoot mansion and its three surrounding acres were reputedly something to see even at normal times what with their dungeon hidden library indoor tropical rain forest trap doors secret passageways rooftop observatory and private island Hes moved since then to larger scarier quarters But every second Halloween between 1988 and 1994 Garriott would go all out investing more than 100000 to turn his mansion into an interactive theme park where guests were led through a reallife swordandsorcery adventure complete with monsters and mayhem The renovations were so extensive that hed have to This frightfest was in operation for just four years between 1988 and 1994 Only 200 guests a night were led through the manse and its grounds People typically lined up two days in advance to get in on the adventure The tour was free the only cost was the wait to get in and it was reputedly well worth the campout Garriott himself claimed to have seen folks going up and down the line offering 1000 for anyone whod give up his ticket and finding no takers In 2014 Scare for a Cure born out of the ashes of legendary haunts Britannia Manor and Haunted Trail is once again staging a haunted house attraction to raise money for cancerrelated charities Not everyone is looking for the ultimate scare though In January 2000 a woman filed suit against Universal Studios in Florida alleging its annual Halloween Horror Nights was too scary and caused her emotional and physical damage The outcome of the suit is unknown Sources

Fact Check Fauxtography Were These Mexican Police Officers Brutalized by Members of a Migrant Caravan Claim Photographs show police officers who were brutalized by members of a migrant caravan in October 2018 Rating Miscaptioned About this rating Origin On 20 October 2018 Twitter user Mike Allen posted a photograph of an injured police officer and stated that the pictured individual had been brutalized by a member of the migrant caravan that was making its way toward the United States in the fall of 2018 Facebook user Jacque Guinan posted a nearly verbatim message which included two additional images of police officers who were also allegedly brutalized by this caravan of refugees We also found a network of smaller Twitter accounts parroting the same verbatim claim Mexican police are being brutalized by members of this caravan as they attempt to FORCE their way into Mexico A caravan of migrants fleeing political and social unrest in their home country of Honduras was slowly making its way north in the fall of 2018 with the hopes that its participants could seek asylum in the United States Some conservative pundits and politicians used this group of migrants to stoke fears about immigration Florida Representative Matt Gaetz even floated an unfounded conspiracy theory positing without evidence that these refugees were being paid by altright boogeyman George Soros President Trump too declared without evidence that this group consisted of criminals and unknown Middle Easteners The abovedisplayed photographs appear to be yet another attempt to smear this group of refugees and stoke fears over immigration These pictures do not capture police officers who were brutalized by members of the immigrant caravan making its way toward the United States in October 2018 theyre all several years old and depict the aftermath of altercations between police officers and protesters in Mexico The main photograph attached to this rumor showing an officer with a bloodied face came from a 2012 incident involving students not migrants and police officers near Mexico City Revista Emeequis reported that the students had been staging a protest at the school for more than a week when police officers came in and attempted to evict them from the building More than 170 students were detained and at least 9 officers were injured during the altercation Mexico City October 16 2012 In a series of operations carried out early Monday morning state and federal authorities detained 176 students from the teacher training schools of Cheran Arteaga and Tripetio in Michoacan The arrests occurred as the police officers cleared the school buildings which for 10 days had been occupied by students protesting against changes in the school curriculum A spokesman for the state government Julio Cesar Hernandez told a news conference that nine federal police officers and one member of the Special Operations Group GOE were injured during the operations The two other photographs attached to this rumor were also yearsold and unrelated to migrant caravans The image showing an injured officer on his knees on the street was taken in 2014 in Chilpancingo and was included in a gallery of photographs on the Mexican newspaper El Universal s web site and depicted another violent incident between police and students According to BBC News tensions between the police and protesters had been rising since a group of 43 students went missing a few months earlier in September 2014 Mexican police have clashed with protesters organising a concert in the city of Chilpancingo in support of a group of 43 students who went missing more than two months ago Police said several officers had been injured including some who were knocked down by a vehicle The two groups accused each other of starting Sundays violence The case of the missing students one of whom has been found dead has triggered protests across Mexico The other image associated with this rumor was also snapped several years earlier and was in no way related to a Honduran migrant caravan The photograph displaying an officer with a bloodied lip has been online since at least 2011 when it was shared in articles concerning another altercation between police and teachers State Governor Gabino Cué Monteagudo offered a public apology to the people of Oaxaca for the grievances caused by police and teachers during their clash in the citys Zócalo and reiterated their willingness to engage in a new dialogue with Section 22 of the SNTE Through a statement the state government refused to grant the resignations of the Secretary General of Government Irma Piñeyro Arias the head of the Secretariat of Public Security Marco Tulio López Escamilla and the director of the State Institute of Public Education of Oaxaca IEEPO Bernardo Vásquez Colmenares as demanded by the teachers after the drift and during the megamarch made yesterday in the city From Oaxaca The Government of the State disclaims any attempt of aggression or action that seeks to undermine the right to free expression free transit and association reserving its power to intervene when public order is affected as well as physical and patrimonial integrity of third parties Sources BBC News Mexico Missing Students Protesters Clash with Police 15 December 2014 El Universal Denuncia PF Ante la PGR a Responsables de Agresiones 15

visualize patterns and psychological factors that affect relationships A genogram is a picture of a persons family relationships and history It goes beyond a traditional family tree allowing the creators to visualize patterns and psychological factors that affect relationships Genograms were first developed in clinical psychology and family therapy settings by Monica McGoldrick and Randy Gerson and popularized through the publication of a book titled Genograms Assessment and Intervention in 1985 This new system visualized the client in the context of other relatives including parents grandparents spouses siblings children nephews and nieces Genograms are now used by various groups of people in a variety of fields such as medicine psychology social work genetic research education and youth work to name but a few Most social work practitioners in personal and family therapy use genograms alongside sociograms for personal records andor to explain family dynamics to their client Why would I use a genograms A genograms is a really useful tool to for helping us to understand the key people and relationships in a clients life It can also help us to see patterns within those relationships and generational patterns which are affecting our client Because of the pictorial nature of a genograms it easily shows issues and concerns that might not be spoken about usually in a nonthreatening manner Genograms also help our clients to put a framework together that explains their circumstances Many young people who are being abused struggle to speak about it however showing them how to draw a genograms can lead them to drawing the abusive relationship which opens the dialogue It can also help them see the concerns that we have as professionals for themselves What a strengths based way of working through the issues Most of all genograms can change They are a picture of what is happening now When I work with families it is often when they are at the brink of all out war Their genograms often look like a child got hold of the textas Colour everywhere and squiggly lines as far as the eye can see After a few months we revisit and there are a few less squiggly lines and a few less colours It is then that I show them their old genograms and ask what has happened to make these changes happen It is a great So what is in a genograms A genograms uses shapes to convey meaning Squares are males circles are females triangles are pregnancy related A cross through the shape means a death Pets even get a jersey The shapes begin to tell us how many people and what sex they are At this point we can add ages names Dates of birth and death As much personal information as is needed The next step is for us to add how the relationships are brought together Otherwise we just have a bunch of shapes on a page Marriage is a solid line divorce has two strokes through it Dating is a dotted line etc Finally we need to look at the emotional nature of the relationships Are the relationships harmonious Are there friendships or even best friends Are they in love Perhaps there is even hostility in the relationship Is there violence mistrust or even a family feud Perhaps there is abuse neglect or sexual abuse All of these little bits of information come together to paint a picture of how a persons family and relationships affect them It shows the patterns and the history that make a person who they are It can show situations intergenerational concerns and family dynamics which create the environment for our clients to struggle It can also be used as a

MacDonald Social Work is not a highpaid profession we all know this and we didnt get into this field because we want to become rich But if we cant be comfortable taking care of our own financial commitments we wont be in the position to give ourselves fully to our clients when they need us whether were providing case management intensive counsellingtherapy or community advocacy The answer is for Social Workers to diversify their income streams This is something lawyers doctors and other professionals learned years ago but that Social Workers are still struggling with It sometimes seems antithetical to our mission to make money for ourselves but there are ways to generate revenue while also providing value to our clients With the new year almost upon us here are 10 ways you can diversify your income in 2019 1 Open a Private Practice The classic private practice is still an option Licensed Clinical Social Workers LCSW can bill Medicare in all 50 states For those who decide not to take insurance or to take selfpay clients you can often charge north of 100 an hour for counselling or therapy especially if you have a welldeveloped niche like working with bereavement with men or with those who have HIVAIDS To save money when starting out you may choose to use a home office or even to see clients virtually via Skype This can make therapy more accessible to your clients but make sure you check with your licensing board first to avoid any issues with confidentiality 2 Start Writing Its been said we all have a book inside of us and you may too But you dont have to write a full book to make money with your writing Launching a blog and monetizing it using Google Adsense or the Amazon Affiliate program can help you build your professional brand and demonstrate your expertise while generating you money for every click on your ads To get started you can create a blog using the free WordPresscom platform and then consider seeking out technical assistance to move your blog to its own domain and hosting to help you expand your audience 3 Join a Speakers Bureau A Speakers Bureau is an organization keeping a roster of speakers on contract so you can deliver keynote speeches or other talks for a fee The Speakers Bureau helps connect the client and the speaker yourself together and negotiates a speaking fee you get paid The Speakers Bureau takes a cut in exchange for the representation and you get the promotion If you dont have the popularity name recognition or specific niche skills to join a Speakers Bureau yet do some networking and reach out to conferences and other organizations proactively to get yourself some initial speaking engagements If youre lucky some new business will come via wordofmouth 4 Create Mobile Phone Apps This is the most technical of the answers here but surprisingly not as difficult as you might think Social Workers have a wealth of knowledge on mental health which they can apply towards creating apps that dont exist yet to help people These can be targeted at professionals in the field for example An app allowing you to complete risk assessments on a tablet and allows the information to be exported A Social Workers Legal Reference with information on the laws relevant to child protection suicide intervention and other laws relevant to Social Work in your state A digital study guide helping social workers in training prepare for their licensure exam Or targeted at clients A guided meditation app which helps clients calm down when they feel stressed A digital crisis plan clients can complete and then refer to when theyre having trouble coping A guide to local resources in your community like crisis lines mental health agencies and hospitals These are highly complex topics You can read up on the Swift programming language used for Apple devices or the Java programming language for Android devices or join up with a skilled programmer who lacks your specialized mental health knowledge 5 Develop a Subscription Service A subscription service is one way to help current or future clients to receive support By paying you a small monthly fee they can get checkins with you on a regular basis between appointments If theyre struggling you can help connect them to crisis lines or other supports For people who havent yet become clients this may offer them an opportunity to build a relationship with you as they consider whether to book an appointment 6 Launch an Online Course Social Workers have skills in many areas which they can turn into online courses to teach others For example successful online courses have been launched teaching people how to have better relationships with their spouses or children how to avoid getting angry or upset and how to stay cool under pressure in a challenging workplace Providers like Udemy can help you build your course in exchange for a small fee taken out of each purchase 7 Teach at Night Universities and colleges frequently hire Masters or Doctorallevel Social Workers to teach classes as an Adjunct Professor This can help you generate revenue but also to give back to the next generation and share what youve learned during the course of your practice 8 Train Other Professionals In addition to teaching in a school environment you can make money by becoming an instructor for training programs For 500 you can get certified to teach the Question Persuade Refer QPR Gatekeeper Course in suicide while for 2500 you can get Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training ASIST TrainingforTrainers T4T certified As a trainer you can make between several hundred and several thousand dollars in a weekend leading a training course on a subject which youre passionate about 9 Become a Consultant If you have an area of specialized knowledge such as program evaluation fundraising or experience building a nonprofit from the ground up then you may choose to become a nonprofit consultant By helping clients avoid the same pitfalls you may have experienced yourself you give them a great return on their investment Consultants also facilitate Strategic Planning sessions or Board of Directors Training and this may be an option for yourself as well 10 Build a Video Library If you dont like to write but you do want to get your message out there consider building a video library on YouTube These videos when you have a highenough following can be monetized and youll get ad revenue before each video plays Conclusion There are a lot of ways Social Workers and other helping professions can use their experience and training to help others while also diversifying your own revenue and helping to build your personal brand Its important that you focus on the elements that make the most sense for your passions and level of technical expertise but also which makes sense with your desired clientbase Good luck 10 Ways to Diversify Your Social Work Income in 2019 was last modified December 3rd 2018 by Dustin MacDonald Share this Continue Reading Employment Why Efforts to Hire and Maintain the Best Staff Can Be Critical for Nonprofits Published 5 months ago on 20180815 By Elliot Caleria While a wellseasoned and dedicated staff can be a terrific resource for any business hiring the right professional to fill a position can be an even more important concern for nonprofits Lacking the funds and additional resources of their commercial counterparts and competitors can place many nonprofits at a distinct disadvantage By addressing the issues and specific problems that those employed by a nonprofit are most likely to encounter employers may be able to minimize turnover and transform their existing staff into their greatest asset Drive Dedication and Vision Professionals whose ambition only extends to themselves can a major liability for nonprofits Without the need to build value for their shareholders nonprofit organizations must rely on their staff to provide them with the vision and drive they need to be effective Pairing workers who are dedicated to an idea that is greater than themselves with an organization able to provide them with the agency needed to make a difference can be of paramount importance especially for nonprofits who have suffered from lackluster performance or that may have begun to stagnate Generating Momentum and Inertia Internally Employees workers and professional associates who are able to generate the momentum needed to enact real and lasting change are often the heart of any successful nonprofit The conventional business models that are so often utilized by commercial businesses place often place the bulk of their focus on the mid and upperlevel managers and supervisors who are tasked with creating and implementing new policies Nonprofits stand to benefit by shifting their focus to the workers who do the actual heavy lifting and who take on the more mundane day to day tasks Dedicated workers can provide their employers and organizations Going the Extra Mile Finding employees who are willing to go the extra mile can be a difficult proposition for any organization that lacks the funds and financial resources needed to provide a more competitive salary Individuals who are committed to reaching loftier goals or unlocking their full professional for reasons that extend beyond mere financial reward are not a resource that nonprofits can afford to take lightly A little extra effort is often the missing component when it comes to finding solutions to a stubborn problem or overcoming an obstacle that might otherwise end up limiting other opportunities and future success Workers who Optimizing Existing Resources Having to make due with shortages of finances and other key resources is often a concern that is all too familiar to many nonprofit organizations While boosting efficiency and finding ways to curb waste can help commercial organizations to enjoy greater profitability such efforts are often essential for ensuring the very survival of a nonprofit Whether its finding the best accounting software for nonprofits in order to ensure more accurate bookkeeping or identifying the ways in which financial resources may be best utilized making the most of their existing resources is a concern that organizations would do well to prioritize Longterm Success Begins During the Hiring Process A nonprofit is only as good as its employees and being able to identify the right fit or a good match often means a great deal For employers educating prospective employees and applicants regarding the nature of nonprofit work is often a smart move Applicants candidates and even unpaid volunteers who wish to see their organization succeed need to recognize that their passion aspiration and drive can often be just as important as any skills or expertise they may bring to the table Cultivating the right staff and making the most out of their existing employees can allow organizations to more easily overcome the obstacles created due to limited funds and resource scarcity Why Efforts to Hire and Maintain the Best Staff Can Be Critical for Nonprofits was last modified August 15th 2018 by Elliot Caleria

learning Be it about the latest craze on social media or the newest news platform that I could try and get my organisation into I have been fairly diligent about keeping my skills set uptodate Regularly attending industry training courses as well as embarking on a postgrad a few years back while juggling the demands of a busy role Whats struck me however is that the most profound learning comes from something far less slick than formal qualifications and training sessions and thats networking with our peers Ive been fortunate enough to have worked across a number of sectors having moved from the arts to education to health back to education and then back to health you get the theme and now into the childrens sector now into the childrens sector where I work as Communications Manager at CELCIS the Centre for Excellence for Looked After Children in Scotland With each move Ive managed to make connections with my counterparts at other organisations By regularly keeping in touch with them occasionally meeting up for a coffee you can gain so much knowledge from each other by comparing notes woes and inspirations all in a oner It really is cathartic I would urge anyone to get to know their equivalent elsewhere you never know when you might need them In the earlier stages of my career I established a useful working relationship with a colleague at another institution Given the supposed rivalry between the institutions we worked for Im not naming names we had to use judgment and discretion when it came to information sharing There was a real value to us being able to use each other as a sounding board for managing difficult media requests On one funny occasion we both spoke to each other mobile to mobile from our respective toilets Peertopeer learning comes in many forms and guises An occasional and irregular meeting to talk shop can lead to bigger plans for shared learning From Networking to Communities of Practice I moved into a job promoting a brand new museum and gallery in central London some years back Having attended a meeting on Southbank of arts PRs I was vocal about the need to develop something a little more formal for us to keep abreast of what was happening in our tiny sector of comms professionals What emerged from this was a working group of budding volunteers and the establishment of a national conference where likeminded colleagues from throughout the country got together to learn from each other and hear insights from those at the top of our industry What we didnt realise at the time of its formation was that we really were a Community of Practice in the making NB Community of Practice is the slightly more academicformal term for networking with peers New Years Resolution One of my new years resolutions for 2018 is to help keep a network of comms professionals going in the childrens sector in Scotland We are a varied bunch from third sector organisations and campaign groups to academic centres NGOs and colleagues working in government but we have much in common our values as organisations keeping our comms relevant to our intended audiences and the need to embrace new and emerging technology Anyone wanting to know more do be in touch Networking The Best Way to Keep Learning on the Job was last modified January 23rd 2018 by Mike Findlay Share this Continue Reading Employment Transformational Leadership in the Context of Social Work Published 1 year ago on 20171009 By Sherley Alaba Social work leadership has transformed into actual practice from research While the primary definition of transformational leadership remains the same researchers and experts believe its practical implications show more promising and better results especially in the context of social work Leaders who work in close collaboration with their subordinates to achieve a common goal is what transformational leadership is all about However when it comes to its implications a real transformational leader possesses specific behaviors and traits beyond that definition He or she is someone who does not only work with the team but also motivates and inspires an organization to work towards a shared vision For a leader to do that he or she must have the inspirational motivation intellectual stimulation body language and individual consideration for the society as a whole When it comes to social work the vision does not only limit to the group members but people beyond that For all these reasons transformation leadership remains an imperative factor for the success at individual organizational and societal levels Traits of Transformation Leadership That Are Important in Context of Social Work Social work in itself is a transformed organization The way social campaigns are led has changed substantially with regards to how leaders should act The effort and contribution of transformational leaders help in creating a work environment where the team members are committed to what they are assigned Leaders support interactions to ensure providing stability to the employees and other team members working in favor of the organization Here are the top transformational leadership traits that give social work its best form Development and Growth on an Individual Level The best leadership traits are those that help an individual with selfactualization Referring to the hierarchy of needs by Abraham Maslow selfactualization stands at the top of the pyramid because it enables an individual to see beyond their selfinterest and work in favor of the people around This helps transformational leaders to work selflessly with the values and vision of the team as a whole including the society Its the growth factor that facilitates himher for this moral development and principles Improved Performance Transformational leaders have subordinates and team members who perform beyond expectations Research reveals that organizations where transformational leaders are utilized have better outcomes than planned The sense of trust and sustainability from the authority is a useful motivational factor that influences team members to outperform themselves every time As a result the overall performance of the organization and its contribution towards the shared vision also improves Organizational Change and Development While transformational leadership has a clearly defined structure it has an impact on every level of the organization When it comes to team motivation it helps the member become more inspiring stimulating and caring especially concerning their learning and working environment In short it wont be an exaggeration to state that transformational leadership has a falling dominos effect on each department and the entire organization While at authority level it helps with setting the vision and direction of the organization at employee levels it sets out the outlines for operations The phenomenon helps the company meet new challenges and perform better than expectations The Application is wider than Social Work Society is and will always remain one of the most crucial areas where transformational leadership plays its role However the overall implication of the idea is much broader than that A variety of settings can benefit from the positive traits and behaviors of transformational leadership Whether it is health care nursing education or finance the idea has proved more effective than any other form of leaderships In addition to social work it can also be applied to industrial and militaristic settings Conclusion Since transformational leadership encourages the values of the people around it plays a vital role in areas like social justice equity personal empowerment selfknowledge service citizenship and collaboration This phenomenon can completely reshape the goals and how teams and organizations work and can also be used in conjunction with other leadership styles for better outcomes

Published 1 year ago on 20170930 By SWHelper Being a jerk to your employees may actually improve your wellbeing but only for a short while suggests new research on abusive bosses coauthored by a Michigan State University business scholar Bullying and belittling employees starts to take its toll on a supervisors mental state after about a week according to the study which is published in the Academy of Management Journal The moral of the story is that although abuse may be helpful and even mentally restorative for supervisors in the shortterm over the long haul it will come back to haunt them said Russell Johnson MSU associate professor of management and an expert on workplace psychology While numerous studies have documented the negative effects of abusive supervision some bosses nevertheless still act like jerks meaning there must be some sort of benefit or reinforcement for them Johnson said Indeed the researchers found that supervisors who were abusive felt a sense of recovery because their boorish behavior helped replenish their mental energy and resources Johnson said it requires mental effort to suppress abusive behavior which can lead to mental fatigue but supervisors who act on that impulse save the mental energy that would otherwise have been depleted by refraining from abuse Johnson and colleagues conducted multiple field and experiments on abusive bosses in the United States and China verifying the results were not culturespecific They collected daily survey data over a fourweek period and studied workers and supervisors in a variety of industries including manufacturing service and education The benefits of abusive supervision appeared to be shortlived lasting a week or less After that abusive supervisors started to experience decreased trust support and productivity from employees and these are critical resources for the bosses recovery and engagement According to the study although workers may not immediately confront their bosses following abusive behavior over time they react in negative ways such as engaging in counterproductive and aggressive behaviors and even quitting To prevent abusive behavior the researchers suggest supervisors take welltimed breaks reduce their workloads and communicate more with their employees Communicating with workers may help supervisors by releasing negative emotions through sharing receiving social support and gaining relational energy from their coworkers Coauthors are Xin Qin from Sun Yatsen University Mingpeng Huang from the University of International

United States have mandatory paid sick leave laws yet fifteen states have passed preemptive legislation prohibiting localities from passing sick leave Despite this resistance paid sick leave is starting to gain momentum as a social justice issue with important implications for health and wellness But what are the implications for the mental wellbeing of Americans without paid sick leave Little was known about their relationship until now Researchers from Florida Atlantic University and Cleveland State University are the first to explore the link between psychological distress and paid sick leave among US workers ages 1864 Results of their study published in the American Journal of Orthopsychiatry illuminate the effects of exacerbated stress on Americans without paid sick leave who are unable to care for themselves or their loved ones without fear of losing wages or their jobs The researchers found that workers without paid sick leave benefits reported a statistically significant higher level of psychological distress They also are 145 times more likely to report that their distress symptoms interfere a lot with their daily life and activities compared to workers with paid sick leave Those most vulnerable young Hispanic lowincome and poorly educated populations Given the disproportionate access to paid sick leave based on race ethnicity and income status coupled with its relationship to health and mental health paid sick leave must be viewed as a health disparity as well as a social justice issue said LeaAnne DeRigne PhD coauthor of the study and an associate professor in the Phyllis and Harvey Sandler School of Social Work within FAUs College for Design and Social Inquiry Even modest increases in psychological distress are noteworthy for both researchers and policy makers since we know that even small increases in stress can impact health The study included 17897 respondents from the National Health Interview Survey NHIS administered by the US government since 1957 to examine a nationally representative sample of US households about health and sociodemographic variables For many Americans daily life itself can be a source of stress as they struggle to manage numerous responsibilities including health related issues said Patricia StoddardDare PhD lead author of the study and associate professor of social work at Cleveland State University Making matters worse for those who lack paid sick leave a day away from work can mean lost wages or even fear of losing ones job These stressors combined with other sources of stress have the potential to interfere with workplace performance and impact overall mental health The researchers used the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale K6 considered the gold standard for assessing psychological distress in populationbased samples in the US and internationally With a theoretical range of 0 to 24 higher scores on the K6 represent increased psychological distress and scores above 13 are correlated with having a mental disorder of some type Results from the study showed that those with paid sick leave had a lower mean distress score compared to those without paid sick leave who had significantly higher K6 scores indicating a higher level of psychological distress Only 14 percent of those with paid sick leave had a K6 score above 12 compared to 31 percent of the respondents without paid sick leave The most significant control variables indicated an increase in the expected psychological distress score among those who were younger female in fair or poor personal health had at least one chronic health condition were current smokers or did not average the recommended range of seven to nine hours of sleep per day Approximately 40 percent of respondents in the NHIS sample did not have paid sick leave approximately half of the respondents were female more than half were married or cohabitating threequarters indicated that their highest level of education included at least some college and 62 percent were nonHispanic white The mean age was 412 years Most of the respondents 791 percent worked fulltime and 827 percent had health insurance coverage Respondents were in families with a mean size of 26 persons and 393 percent reported having children in the family Approximately 32 percent had an annual family income of 35000 to DeRigne and StoddardDare caution that even though there is concern about the potential burden on employers if paid sick leave laws are passed it is important to be mindful of the overall situation regarding productivity loss and workplace costs associated with mental health symptoms and psychological concerns among US workers Furthermore the personal health care consequences of delaying or forgoing needed medical care can lead to more complicated and expensive health conditions US workers with paid sick leave are more likely to take time off work and selfquarantine when necessary without the worries of losing their job or income while Results from our research will help employers as they think about strategies to reduce psychological stress in their employees such as implementing or expanding access to paid sick days said StoddardDare Clinicians also can use these findings to help their patients and clients as can legislators who are actively evaluating the value of mandating paid sick leave Continue

December 2018 Great software that you can use in different ways Pros I love that you can use the software in different ways I have interviewed candidates and have had training sessions on it as well Its great that it has an app as well The software saves me a lot of time by not having to schedule so many in house interviews Cons I have had a few connectivity issues I think it can be hard for candidates to get used to the video interview idea But overall pretty good software Twila from EDUCAUSE Company Size 51200 employees Review Source Easeofuse 5 of 5 Value for money 5 of 5 Customer support 5 of 5 Functionality 5 of 5 December 2018 HireVue a great option for video interviewing For video interviewing this is a great product and they are working on more analytics However I think there could be more training for the candidates to make it a better experience for themAlthough video interviewing can seem impersonal HireVue makes the process simple and efficient Pros The HireVue platform is easy to access not only for recruiters but also hiring managers and candidates Cons The note taking on the platform is confusing for reviewers I would like to see the notes not only being more accessible to reviewers but also editable to HR Steve from ExecVision Company Size 1150 employees Review Source Capterra Easeofuse 5 of 5 Value for money 5 of 5 Customer support 5 of 5 Functionality 5 of 5 November 2018 The best video interview platform out there Pros Its really easy to use and saves you a ton of time when you are hiring people You will force people to make short videos in reply to your interview questions Then you can quickly review the answers to determine if the person is worthy of an inperson interview Cons We lost some qualified candidates who were unwilling to do the videos It adds friction to the candidate application experience Anonymous Verified Reviewer Company Size 1 employee Review Source Capterra Easeofuse 5 of 5 Value for money 5 of 5 Customer support 5 of 5 Functionality 5 of 5 November 2018 Great for reaching applicants around the world Overall it has been a pleasant experience working with HireVue Pros I liked that the application walks you through the process of set up and makes you feel comfortable with the format It allows you to test your software prior to make sure that you will not have any problems or if you do to address them in a timely matter Cons Having only used the software a handful of times I have not come across any qualities or aspects that I do not like about it Anonymous Verified Reviewer

Customer support 4 of 5 Functionality 5 of 5 September 2018 Convenient Interviews This software was used to assist me with completing an employment application it was convenient and easy to use Pros This software allows for employers to conduct interviews without having to be in person which can be convenient for both parties Cons It may be interesting to know for some employers how many times the interview has been viewed Anonymous Verified Reviewer Company Size 10000 employees Review Source Capterra Easeofuse 5 of 5 Functionality 4 of 5 September 2018 HireVue allows for an interactive interview experience that lets you showcase your hiring potential Pros What I like most about this software is that for the interview portion it allows you to do a practice question where you can see your video interview response before you do an actual interview question You can also do this for the assessment portion they allow for a practice question before going into the actual assessment Cons What I like least is that sometimes there is a lag with the audio and the video playback and it seems that one is slower than the other This of course can vary by computer but I have noticed this on multiple platforms Anonymous Verified Reviewer Company Size 5011000 employees Review Source Capterra Easeofuse 5 of 5 Functionality 5 of 5 May 2018 Excellent video interviewing platform Pros We mainly use HireVue for recorded video interviews which makes scheduled extremely easy since candidates can log in anytime to submit their recording It has saved us a lot of time Cons Sometimes candidates feel a little shy about recording themselves so we often offer an option to interview on the phone if they arent comfortable Artem from Board of European Students of Technology Company Size 10015000

ability to send video sales coaching sessions to my team that they can complete ondemand on their time I can finally measure and track behavioral change of my sellers and their ability to articulate

If you are looking for a video interviewing provider HireVue is the cream of the crop for providers What I like most about HireVue is the branding of the platform is very professional looking and the overall system is extremely customizable Additionally the reporting capabilities of the platform is very in depth allowing you to really pull the key analytics you need for all of your departments and the positions they recruit for during the year Cons If there is one downside to HireVue it would be the cost of the system as it is on the higher end of what you will pay for a video interviewing provider However with HireVue you are also paying for a system capable of providing a lot of great features Ashley from HCA Company Size 10000 employees Review Source Easeofuse 4 of 5 Value for money

Pros I like HireVues ability to create OnDemand Interviews that lets candidates interview on their time and in the comfort of their own home or on the go apps Cons Technical issues during live

gives your candidates different options to complete their interviews All the interviews are recorded as well so you can go back and share with other members of the hiring team to get more input Cons
