Overview
Professional associations often have student-organized chapters on college campuses. Let’s say you are a member of a campus business club, such as the Society for the Advancement of Management (SAM), the American Marketing Association (AMA), the American Management Association (AMA), the Accounting Society (AS), the International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP), or the Association of Information Technology Professionals (AITP). Your club or association has managed its finances well, and therefore, it is able to fund monthly activities. However, membership dues are insufficient to cover any extras. You see the need for a special one-time seminar with a panel of experts or a keynote speaker that would benefit many business students. For example, you see value in inviting a panel of recruiters to come and discuss current job requirements and hiring processes. You must now request funding for this event.
Your Task. Write an unsolicited letter or memo proposal to your program chair or business division dean to request one-time funding to cover the costs associated with this event. Identify your need or problem, provide the details of the event, mention the ways this event will benefit the attendees, support your claims with evidence, and provide a budget. Think ahead about costs associated with printing, appreciation gifts for the presenters, food and beverage needs, and other miscellaneous expenses. 2.Your Task. Select three health and wellness perks that can be offered to employees at little or no cost. Write a memo report investigating the feasibility of adding the three perks. Begin by stating the decision to add them. Then discuss the background leading up to the decision and the benefits of such programs. Estimate the approximate costs associated with each option, including administration costs, if any. Then suggest an appropriate time frame for implementation. Upload file.
Your company is considering adding some health and wellness perks that will interest current and future employees. Perks are benefits that are added above and beyond the normal medical coverage and sick pay. These wellness perks help in recruiting and retaining talented employees. You work for a smaller company that cannot compete with the great perks offered by giant companies such as Google and Amazon. However, small- and medium-sized companies are now adding health and wellness perks at little or no expense. You’ve been assigned to research and select three health and wellness perks that could be incorporated into your company’s culture immediately. The company has a training room on-site for classes and a large lunchroom for lunchtime activities. You might consider the following options: a company-sponsored softball league, lunchtime walking groups, weekend hikes and bike trips, lunchtime classes on health and nutrition, or weekly yoga and cross-training classes. Search online for other possibilities, and be ready to suggest three company perks to your supervisor. Estimate the approximate costs associated with these perks, including administration costs. Then suggest an appropriate time frame for implementation. 3. When hiring future workers, employers look for hard skills (those we learn, such as mastery of software applications or accountancy procedures) and soft skills. Soft skills are personal characteristics, strengths, and other assets.
Studies have divided soft skills into four categories:
Thinking and problem solving
Oral and written communication
Personal qualities and work ethic
Interpersonal and teamwork
