    I’m working on a Law exercise and need support.

    You are to respond to students who addressed a question other than the one you chose, and then point out either 2 weaknesses with their post or add 2 additional supporting points.

    1. Explain briefly how and if chronic health issues have an effect on the cost of operating a criminal justice organization. What is the best manner in which to reduce any said cost if you were asked to design the health benefit package?

    More and more people are living a sedentary lifestyle which brings an increased risk for chronic diseases. Four in ten of the costliest health conditions are related to heart disease and stroke (National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, 2020). According to CDC, $36.4 billon is lost each year due to employee absences related to chronic health conditions; high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, physical inactivity, and obesity (2020). If criminal justice organizations attempt to be proactive by creating good health promotion programs, it could decrease the cost of insurance premiums and workers compensation claims (National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, 2020).

    I think that organizations should provide insurance coverage for preventative screenings, such as: labs (A1C, triglyceride levels, etc), immunizations, physicals, mental health, and health education classes, etc. This could help identify health issues before the symptoms appear and begin to treat the condition through a lifestyle change (diet and exercise) (Sorensen et al., 2011). In 2006, it was reported that in the United States over $2 trillion was spent on healthcare and employers spent more than one third of that costs on their employees (Sorensen et al., 2011). Employers should create a healthier workplace environment that would motivate the employees to have a more active/healthier lifestyle and reduce the need for tobacco use by making the facility a tobacco free building. Several studies have shown that when employers create a health promotion program it improves the employees’ health, increases productivity, and reduces healthcare costs (Sorenson et al., 2011).

    2. Of the six listed causes of Organizational conflict, differences in power, and status seems to be the most familiar cause, from a military perspective. Leaving out culture can be a bit haste, based on the culture of different military branches being vastly different. The perspective of power and status can come simple from having more rank than others, and also having a higher billet if members are of equal rank (Vito, et al, 2019). The organizational culture in terms has more to do with section/ unit pride and can be seen as a cause in conflict may come more from the moral beliefs, and values from all levels. Take an officer with extreme faith-based morals, that may work with or for an individual with less of a moral compass. Vito et al said it best “One group emphasizes functioning within constitutional constraints. The other group is utilitarian and operates on the implicit assumption that the end justifies the means” (2019, p 182). The chain of command structure does alleviate the possibility of some conflicts from a simplicity standpoint.

    Although conflict resolution will fall to the supervisors, managers, and in some cases the Human Resources (HR) personnel, each individual involved must play an active role in the mitigation process as well. The Competitors from both the individual and managerial perspective will not benefit the organization, neither will the Avoiders. In terms of a manager and dealing with conflicts with those involved, the Collaboration approach proves to be the most ideal (Vito, et al, 2019). Granted most ideal will not always be what works or is needed on a case by case basis.

    Each individual conflict required a specific goal orientated resolution strategy. In terms of the power or status, the collaboration process seems to be the most feasible, and best solution. A conflict caused by culture, is difficult, from a moral standpoint the competition approach may be what is needed. At the end of the process an Alternate Dispute process may be the “ends to justify the means” (OPM.gov).

    Conflict resolution and conflict in general is and has been a part of my life, and as a Christian I have always been able to fall back on the scripture of John Chapter 8: 6-7 “6. This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. 7. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her.” A simple passage about how we are not to judge each other. Scripture also teaches us to love one another, in which I find the best way for conflict resolution.

    Integrating Teams at Hernandez & Associates

    Marco Hernandez is president of Hernandez & Associates Inc., a full-service advertising agency with clients across North America. The company provides a variety of marketing services to support its diverse group of clients. Whether called on to generate a strategic plan, create interactive Web sites, or put together a full-blown media campaign, the team at Hernandez & Associates prides itself on creative solutions to its clients’ marketing challenges. The firm was founded in 1990 with an emphasis in the real estate industry. It quickly expanded its client base to include health care, as well as food and consumer products. Like many small firms, the company grew quickly in the “highflying” 1990s, but its administrative costs to obtain and serve businesses also skyrocketed. And, as with many businesses, the agency’s business was greatly affected by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and the economic downturn that followed. Clients’ shrinking budgets forced them to scale back their business with Hernandez & Associates, and staff cutbacks meant that clients needed more marketing support services as opposed to full-scale campaigns. Hernandez & Associates now faced a challenge—to adapt its business to focus on what the clients were asking for. Specifically, clients, with their reduced staffs, were looking for help responding to their customers’ requests and looking for ways to make the most of their limited marketing budgets. Its small, cohesive staff of 20 employees needed to make some fast changes.

    As president of Hernandez & Associates, Marco Hernandez knew his team was up for the challenge. He had worked hard to create an environment to support a successful team—he recruited people who had solid agency experience, and he consistently communicated the firm’s mission to his team. He made sure the team had all the resources it needed to succeed and continually took stock of these resources. He had built his team as he built his business and knew the group would respond to his leadership. But where to start? Getting the team to understand that growth depended on a shift in how it served its clients was not difficult—each of the employees of the small firm had enough contact with the clients that they knew client needs were changing. But making significant changes to the status quo at Hernandez & Associates would be difficult. Group roles had to change—creative folks had to think about how to increase a client’s phone inquiries and Web site visits; account people needed a better understanding of the client’s desire for more agency leadership. And everyone needed a better sense of the costs involved. The company as a whole required a more integrated approach to serving clients if they hoped to survive. Marco needed a plan.

    1. Like many leaders, Marco has a team in place and does not have the luxury of building a new team to adapt to the changing business environment his firm now faces. Use the TLM to help Marco diagnose the problems faced by the firm and identify leverage points for change.

    a. Consider the major functions of the TLM—input, process, and output. Where do most of the firm’s challenges fall?

    b. What are the team’s goals for outputs?

    2. Identify potential resources for Marco and his team in implementing a strategy to change the way they do business at Hernandez & Associates.
