Mini Case Study - EAP Mary Jones was recently appointed to the new position of director of employee assistance programs at Mega Hotels. Over the objections of her boss, the director of human resources, Mary quickly instituted an alcohol and drug abuse awareness program in each of the hotel’s properties. Her boss opposed the program on the basis that Mega Hotels knew little about the kinds of problems its employees faced. Mary established in-house programs at each property in the chain and hired specialists to implement and supervise the programs. The annual salaries of the five specialists averaged $24,000. Three months later, the president of Mega Hotels asked for a status report on the employee assistance program. At that time, Mary could report only a five percent employee participation rate. The president was disappointed with this rate and threatened to cancel the program. The president asked Mary to evaluate the progress of the program and to make recommendations for its…

How Can You Get to a Backlog of over 100 Projects? There are never enough resources to get everything done." Backlogs build over time. Sacred cow projects get included in the selection system. Projects proposed from people who have left the airline stil reside in the project portfolio. Non-value-added projects somehow make their way into the project portfolio. Soon the queue gets longer. With everyone in IT working on too many projects concurrently, project completion and productivity are slow. Which Projects Remain? To cut the number of projects, the steering committee used a weighting scheme that reflected the airline's priorities, which were: fly safe, generate revenue, reduce costs, and customer service. The weighting scheme easily weeded out the fluff. Coady noted that "by the time you get to the 20s the margin of differentiation gets narrower and narrower." Of the remaining projects, project sponsors had to have solid justification why their project is important. Reduction of the…

Project Management FAO-Funded Aquaponics Project Launched In Barbados Barbados GIS – The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has collaborated with the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and the Blue Economy, and local business.  Adams Aquafarms, on a project to train persons in aquaponics. Aquaponics is a sustainable way of integrating land-based fish farming with plant production. Both are placed in a tank, and the set up allows for them to coexist, with the waste produced by the fish fertilizing the plants, while the plants purify the water for the fish. The training, funded by the FAO, will take place at a demonstration facility, located at Adams Aquafarms, Hopewell, St. Thomas. The FAO is currently targeting 30 entrepreneurs and 10 teachers. Minister of Maritime Affairs and the Blue Economy, Kirk Humphrey, believes the project will be “transformative”, as it has the potential to empower Barbadians. “In aquaponics, you have the opportunity to have, at the same time,…
