Engineering Contracts and Procurement PART A: Review of contract strategy from the Owners perspective. Benefits and risks associated with using the contracting form nominated. One of the risks of using the nominated contracting form is that a condition precedent is not met, or a sunset clause passes without action. For such a threat, the best-case scenario would be that this would be a relatively minor clause with nothing else reliant on it, and both parties would amicably agree to rectify it and carry on as if nothing happened. However, the worst-case scenario that works may not commence until the agreed on measures are in place, and this may be too much for your organization to bear. For example, a lapsed insurance policy discovered after an injury has occurred would be the gravest mistake your organization ever makes. The second risk would be a missed deadline, milestone, or deliverable. This is the most common failure of ad hoc systems. For this risk, the best-case scenario would be that the deadline is one that has no lasting effects, and the delay caused…

Managing Employee Wellnesses Employee wellness incorporates different essential processes that build a stronger commitment and intrinsic motivation to perform organizational tasks. Most organizations have focused on the monetary aspect when explaining the need to improve employee needs’ organizational performance and management. However, employee wellness involves the daily management of employee needs, which include their diet. Management of diet help creates an understanding of employee output. Thus controlling these factors creates a more interactive environment where an employee can perform to their potential. Articles description and examples Baucis (2013) provided an emphasis on how the employee diet defines their input at work.

In most cases, one needs to be physically there for the kid to make sure that their bond grows significantly. For most parents, being there for their children is an essential aspect that makes them more suitable to raise their young. Most parents also prefer to attend to their children and develop a family bond with them for the first few years of their life. In some cases, however, the parents may have to attend more significant chores such as jobs. For example, in the military, one may be asked to go back to work after they have had a baby or since their leave is over. In such a case, there are severe effects that the parents may show. One of them is nostalgia. Most parents are close to their children, and they develop a powerful bond of love and trust among themselves. As a result, the distance or separation…
Eliminating Words Eliminate words that explain the obvious or provide excessive detail Always consider readers while drafting and revising writing. If passages explain or describe details that would already be obvious to readers, delete or reword them. Readers are also very adept at filling in the non-essential aspects of a narrative, as in the fourth example. Wordy: I received your inquiry that you wrote about tennis rackets yesterday, and read it thoroughly. Yes, we do have (19 words) Concise: I received your inquiry about tennis rackets yesterday. Yes, we do have…(12 words) Wordy: It goes without saying that we are acquainted with your policy on filing tax returns, and we have every intention of complying with the regulations that you have mentioned. (29 words) Concise: We intend to comply with the tax-return regulations that you have mentioned.

Electronic Health Record (HER) Mandate An electronic health record is an important tool in the healthcare facility. However, hospitals are recommended to possess a certified system of the EHR. In cases where the health care facility fails to use a valid electronic health record system; they face a penalty which normally increases each year. The role of information technology is to creating a safe care environment and improves patient outcomes which create a safe care environment. The purpose of electronic health record implementation strategies for health organizations is to smoothly implement the software to utilize it in the most effective manner (US Department of Health and Human Services, 2018). There are two theories when it comes to the implementation of electronic medical record systems namely incremental approach and the full transition approach. Wherever approach is taken, the sole purpose is to increase patient safety. President Obama started a mandate of electronic health records by 2015. If providers or hospitals did not acquire the electronic health record system by then, they would lose a small portion of their Medicare…
Reflection on Electrical and computer engineering The current video illustrates the possibilities and opportunities in the field of Electrical and Computer Engineering. It starts with enticing examples of real-life applications of the knowledge of an electrical and computer engineer. I have always been interested in technology, along with that. I enjoy doing maths and studying physics. The introduction of the video itself got my attention and interest in seeing the whole video. I have been looking for this type of career option. They described the difference between electrical engineering and computer engineering. Spencer Haney, an electrical engineer, said that he had the chance to work on the “Project Jacquard while working at Google Advanced Technology.” This project enables the user to touch any fabric, and the information on the fabric will be sent to their mobile phone. I have always wanted to work on projects like this one. If electrical engineering is the route that leads to working on projects like this, I am more than happy to choose Electrical Engineering as my career option. The information that the students…
Effects of Poor Ethics on the Community Poor ethics have negative implications on both social and corporate environments. Poor ethics has been a problem globally for several years now, with many people misusing their power to harass others. Many ethical considerations have been established to guide people on what is considered right or wrong. Regardless of many efforts to help the world be a better place for everyone, many cases have been recorded showing social injustices. A good example of poor ethics is seen in the 1991 Rodney King incident, where a harmless man was recorded being ruthlessly beaten by 14 LAPD officers (Reyes & Houston, 2019, p.315). Poor ethics can lead to loss of jobs, loss of organization credibility, and young people living in constant fear. The first effect of poor ethics is the loss of jobs. Law enforcement lays off anyone found on the wrong side of the law. In the Rodney King scenario of 1991, King was engaged in a drunk chase with the LAPD. He was later captured and beaten in broad daylight after being handcuffed.…
Causes and the Effects of Divorce on Children Introduction Marriage is a legal companionship involving two people of the opposite gender, a male and a female. It is regarded as one of the precious and beautiful things almost everyone expects to have in life. However, due to frequent differences and misunderstandings between couples, this relationship may be so rough and unbearable for the two of them. Therefore, a resolution of divorce may be inevitable. Divorce is the final termination of a marriage, dropping the legal roles and responsibilities in that marriage and dissolving the union of the matrimony between the husband and the wife (OKOLIE, Okwu, and Ugo, Pg 2, 2020). It is normally regarded as the solution to hard marital relationships regardless of the consequences on the couple, children, teens, and the community . Causes of Divorce The age of marriage of the partners affects how the union lasts. Regarding Eyo, Pg 3 2018, those who engage in marriage at their adolescent ages are most likely to divorce. Ideally, such people have not grown emotionally and experientially at adolescence;…
