I have to write a paper and the research has to be based on multiple studies and surveys on terminating people. Simple articles on termination won't do. So, does anyone know of any journals that would have detailed research or know of any studies that were completed on terminating employees. Any information would be greately appreciated.
Does anyone know of any research/studies/surveys done on terminating employees?
www.shrm.org
it's an HR website. they have message boards etc...i bet there's lots of info you can get from them.
also, there was a big study done about costs of turnover affecting a compnay...i think harvard did it...
if you're in college, buddy up to a librarian. they can help you search your school library database for professional journals in the HR field.
also, check out www.teamster.org they publish a magazine, that may have articles.
GOOD LUCK!

Online survey?
My boss wants me to make a website that collects simple information from employees about the research they are doing. I am considering using a free online survey service. Does this seem like a smart idea? And if so does anyone know any secure, trustworthy and attractive ones that they want to recommend?
Online survey?
www.surveymonkey.com - is VERY good. Some people do not like the name, but the service is great. Some big businesses (e.g. shutterfly.com) use that service - very reliable. You should try it!!!

What are ways to prove that a training program is working or not in a company?
I'm proposing that companies should implement age diversity training to their employees in an effort to bridge the generation gap.
How does a company monitor this effort to see if it is actually working to see if they should continue it or not?
I can only think of surveys for participants to fill out but what else?
What are ways to prove that a training program is working or not in a company?
I think that the company should just modify their training program so that everyone would understand the training. It would be cost effective than several different training programs. At the end of the training session and during the training session ask them if they understand and maybe do small tests and the end of each segment to make sure they understand. They will show you who needs extra training or where you may need to change the training to help them...

How seriously do stores like Target and Walmart take their customer surveys?
The ones that are on the bottom of your receipts with the websight link. If you complain about a particular store departmet or employee is it taken seriously?
How seriously do stores like Target and Walmart take their customer surveys?
I will tell you my Walmart horror story and how I "solved the problem". I went to Walmart and was putting my infant son in the car when a "cult like" church group approached me pinned me in at the door of my car. They had bright blue t-shirts on and flyers for there church. I really did not listen to what they had to say just asked them to leave. I locked my car doors picked up my cell phone and called inside the store using the store number on my receipt. I called inside the store where I spoke with an associate who said "We know they are there and besides you are the only one to complain." Then she hung up. I went home and called Walmart corporate got thought to someone 45 minutes later who took my complaint down and told me a supervisor would call. Fifteen minutes later the supervisor called and apologized and begged me not to sue. The next day the store manager called begged me not to sue and told me the employee who I complained about was no longer with the company. I also never saw a church group in the parking lot after that point and Walmart put signs up all over the parking lot stating "No soliciting in parking lot." So I would say calling the corporate office is pretty effective. I did call on a Tuesday afternoon, however. I think they take customer service very seriously if not they would not pay an outside company for input. If you are trying to complain about a serious problem I would call direct and not to the store manager.
Reply:I've noticed that they conduct surveys through mailings, usually to their credit card customers, and through telephone surveys. This is very beneficial for them and cost effective. Sometimes, they have the customers telephone a number on the bottom of their sales receipts. This works well also. If I were going to complain about a specific store department or employee, I would contact the main library in my city. Then they will give you the updated information as to whom the present CEO is. Once you "certify" a letter to that person or even the President, you will get results. Dealing with the Customer Service Department, most often, is a b.s. situation. Peace, Love and God Bless.

Filling out surveys for an online application?
Okay so I'm filling out applications online for certain places that I want to get a job at. They have these surveys that Im sure everyone knows and they ask these questions that seem to be double edged to me.
For instance one question asks whether or not I beleive that people take advantage of their co-workers to get ahead. And everyone knows that yes, that is true. However, at the same time if I answer yes then that may reflect badly on myself saying that I'm the kind of person who would do that. So then maybe I should answer no. But then that makes me look like Im stupid and naieve.
So in other words, what kind of answers should I give in these surveys? Honest or ones that make me look like I'd be the model employee?
Filling out surveys for an online application?
Just tell the truth - if you don't pass some sort of test, you probably are much better off without that particular job.
I've seen similar tests. In the same bank of questions, there are "redemptive' questions - such as "I think it is okay to belittle another employees accomplishments in order to look better." By answering that question "no", you have in effect shown that you realize that some people do that, but you personally don't.
Good luck in your job search - you probably will do just fine - I think it is great that you are thinking about what is put in front of you.
Reply:Do your answers have to be just yes or no?
And it's not true that everyone takes advantage of their co-workers to get ahead. That would be a very competitive work environment. They exist, for sure, but there are other more cooperative work environments - I've worked in one like that for 15 years - where colleagues help each other out rather than stab each other in the back. I would much rather work in a cooperative environment than a competitive one.

The employees of a company were surveyed on questions regarding their educational background...?
and marital status. Of the 600 employees, 400 had college degrees, 100 were single, and 60 were
single college graduates. The probability that an employee of the company is married and has a
college degree is:
A) 400/600 B) 340/600 C) 500/600 D) 40/600
The employees of a company were surveyed on questions regarding their educational background...?
Of the 400 that have degrees 60 of them are single, so that leaves 340 that are married. Of the 600, 100 are single which leaves 500 married. So out of the 500 married ones, 340 have degrees. So the answer is "B" 340 out of 600.

Dear Employee:?
As a result of the reduction of money budgeted for departmental areas, we are forced to cut down on our number of personnel.
Under this plan, older employees will be asked to take early retirement, thus permitting the retention of younger people who represent our future.
Therefore, a program to phase out older personnel by the end of the current fiscal year, via retirement, will be placed into effect immediately.
This program will be known as SLAP (Sever Late-Aged Personnel). Employees who are SLAPPED will be given the opportunity to look for jobs outside the company.
SLAPPED employees can request a review of their employment records before actual retirement takes place. This review phase of the program is called SCREW.
SCREW (Survey of Capabilities of Retired Early Workers). All employees who have been SLAPPED and SCREWED may file an appeal with upper management.
This appeal is called SHAFT (Study by Higher Authority Following Termination).
