Explain how performance should be measured on the basis of the stated or suggested definition of performance for the job

/in /by

week 2

Clearly defined performance expectations are essential to promoting productive employee behavior. The right performance expectations communicate what is expected of individuals at work and lead directly to contributions toward organizational success. For this assignment, research a company of your choice and one of its current job descriptions. You may find the information online or from a credible source you have access to. Present the following information in your initial post:

  • Brief explanation of the company, including the organizational mission and goals.
  • Summarize the job description, including primary duties.
  • Analyze any performance expectations presented in the job description. If performance expectations are presented, explain whether they are defined appropriately. If they are not presented, explain how performance for that position should be defined.
  • Explain how performance should be measured on the basis of the stated or suggested definition of performance for the job. Identify the evidence that justifies your recommendation for the measurement approach.

Attach a copy of the job description in question to your discussion post. Your post should directly address each question, providing references and examples to support your points. You should use at least two scholarly sources cited in APA format. Must be at least 4 paragraphs

Due Aug. 6 2017
African-American Women
Talk to your parents, grandparents, and/or other older relatives or family friends to find out what they can tell you about your family’s heritage or genealogy (a history of the ancestry or descent of a person or family). Using whatever resources you can find, tell your family’s cultural history in a PowerPoint presentation consisting of 7-10 slides. Feel free to include pictures to illustrate your story, though take into consideration file size when you add pictures. The format and content for your presentation is outlined below:
Introduction (1 slide)Give your presentation a title and include your name. This is a good opportunity to include a family photo or other picture that demonstrates your cultural heritage.
Family Structure (1 slide)Describe your family make-up: number of people/ages, family heredity, relatives in other countries, etc.
Ethnicity (2-3 slides)Discuss your family’s ethnic background. Some questions to consider: What are the different ethnicities in your family that you and your family members know of? How important are the issues of ethnicity and ethnic heritage in your family? Do you observe particular customs because of your ethnic heritage? Are there family stories involving immigration to the U.S. or movement from one part of the U.S. to another? Did your family and/or ethnic group encounter prejudice or discrimination? If so, describe those encounters. If not, why not?
Gender Issues (1 slide)Discuss how gender roles have been distributed in your family. Has this changed over time or through generations? Is there an ethnic component to the way gender roles have been defined in your family?
Economic and Social Class (1-3 slides)Describe what social class you consider your family to belong to and why. Has your family been upwardly or downwardly mobile during your lifetime or across generations? What kinds of occupations have your family members held? Address the way class status has affected your family and whether this status is also affected by ethnicity. You can also explore how your family’s educational achievements have changed over time.
Conclusion (1 slide) Discuss what you have learned from researching your family’s heritage. In what way are the different elements you’ve explored (social class, gender, and ethnicity) connected?

I need help with the following Assignment.  Needs to be APA Format, 3-5 Pages not including the Title and Reference Page.  Assignment does need a Title and Reference as well.
Use the internet and the Kaplan library to research one social policy currently in effect today. Using the process outlined on the CDC website, perform a comprehensive evaluation of the policy you have chosen. Be sure to include the following elements in your evaluation:
·         Clearly identify one social policy currently in effect today.
·         Describe the population and the particular needs this policy is designed to meet.
·         NOTE: The following required elements are outlined on the CDC website and Briefs 1–7
·         Identify and attempt to engage stakeholders (discuss who they are and how this might be done in an actual policy evaluation)
·         Provide a complete description of the program or policy.
·         Focus the evaluation design–determine whether your evaluation should focus on content, implementation or impact. Discuss your reasoning and the process of your evaluation, including the questions you will be asking.
·         Gather credible evidence—using the internet and the Kaplan Library, research evidence of the effectiveness of the policy you are evaluating.
·         Make and justify your conclusions–Discuss whether the policy is effective at meeting the needs of the population it is designed to serve. Be sure to provide sound and complete reasoning for your opinion and remember to support your conclusions on the effectiveness of the policy with your research.
·         Discuss how the results of evaluation might be used (this is the “Ensure Use and Lessons Learned” step from the CDC website).
·         Make specific recommendations for updating your policy and/or improving its effectiveness. Again be sure to support these recommendations with your research.
·         Finally, in your discussion, analyze the impact of historical events, legislation, past and present political ideologies, economic and social class systems and public and private attitudes on service delivery under this policy.
