Unit VII Case Analysis

Unit VII Case Analysis

Dave is a driver for Empire Courier Service. Around the company, Dave is known as sort of a hothead. During his previous employment at another company, Dave had been involved in a workplace fistfight with a fellow employee, resulting in criminal charges.

One day, between deliveries and in a company vehicle, Dave decides to get lunch. While leaving the parking lot at Big Burrito Bistro, the favorite lunch spot for most Empire Courier employees, Dave negligently causes a car accident with another vehicle, resulting in injuries to Victor, the driver of the other car. As Dave and Victor are waiting on the side of the road for the police to arrive, Victor comments to Dave, “Oh, you drive for Empire Courier Service. It doesn’t surprise me that Empire hires bad drivers because their service stinks, and their prices are too high!” Dave is so offended that Victor would insult his employer’s professional reputation that he punches Victor in the face, causing Victor to suffer even more injuries. Empire Courier Service does not, as a matter of policy, do criminal background checks on its employees.

Within your paper, define agency and how an agency relationship is created. Identify the various types of agency relationships, and explain tort liability and how it relates to the agency relationship.

Then, considering the legal principles discussed in Chapter 20, explain who is liable for Dave’s negligence for causing the car accident, and explain who is liable for Dave’s intentional tort for punching Victor.

Provide your answers in a case analysis of at least two pages in length.

One source is required. Include an introduction in your paper. Adhere to APA Style when creating citations and references for this assignment.

Two Sources are attached to use with this paper.

Thank you.

Health and Wellness Program Analysis

Well-organized health and wellness programs have the capacity to improve employees’ generalized well-being. Consequently, the development of such initiatives is very common in organizations today, with HR professionals playing a key role in organizing and championing employee health and wellness.

Your assignment this week is to first watch the On-the-Job video of Stew Leonard’s health and wellness program that is located in the online Mind Tap content associated with this course. Watching this video will give you an excellent example of a company that has an exceptional health and wellness program. One of the reasons people want to work at Stew Leonard’s is its great benefits, but the company also emphasizes health and wellness with a variety of programs. For example, a healthcare center in the store is staffed by a registered nurse who answers employee questions. To control healthcare expenses, Stew Leonard’s invests in health and wellness, helps employees solve healthcare problems, and educates employees about healthcare costs. Because of the company’s efforts, 85% of its employees and their families are up to date on their physicals, an unusually high percentage. A wellness committee creates programs that encourage healthy activities. Stew Leonard’s has a director of safety and wellness, and each store has a safety committee that meets monthly. As an incentive, employees are rewarded with a pizza party if their store doesn’t have a safety incident in 30 days. When employees don’t have to worry about health and safety issues, they can focus on the customers.

After watching the video, identify another company that has an excellent health and wellness program and write a short, 2-page report on the company’s practices. You should focus specifically on the policies and approaches the company utilizes to enhance employee health and wellness.

To identify key information, look through reputable news outlets and business publications (online and/or print) for stories about your selected company’s health and wellness efforts. To better understand these approaches, you should be somewhat familiar with the company in terms of background, industry, operations, and/or culture.

The report should be approximately 2 single-spaced pages (12-point Times New Roman font, 1-inch margins; page count does not include title page or bibliography). At least 5 credible sources (much more is preferable) should be cited that provide support for your assessment. The file submitted should be in Microsoft Word format
