You are a sport scientist investigating how two sports organisations manage their health, safety and security. You must include an example of promotional material, which is related to a specific health and safety hazard, as well as discuss the types of guidelines relevant to customers and employees. The different methods of distribution and evaluation of information on guidelines relating to health, safety and security must also be discussed. INTRODUCTION Most and probably all leisure centers recognize the benefits of participation in sporting activities but have to balance this recognition with its "duty of care" to the participants, leisure centers do not wish to unduly restrict activities, but they must ensure they are carried out in as safe a manner as possible. Safe sport requires a partnership between the Leisure centers, Clubs and individuals, each recognizing and accepting their responsibilities. For my assignment I have decided to look at two leisure centers that provide facilities for public use. I am looking at the fitness center in Exeter College and Dyrons leisure center based in Newton Abbot. I thought it was important to compare to companies that the public use, as the health, safety and security will be different rather than a personnel center.

New banknotes and coins for Europe.
January 2002 - new banknotes and coins for Europet Our new currency has been years in the making. The Treaty of Rome (1957) declared a common European market as a European objective with the aim of increasing economic prosperity and contributing to "an ever closer union among the peoples of Europe". The Single European Act (1986) and the Treaty on European Union (1992) have built on this, introducing Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) and laying the foundations for our single currency. The third stage of EMU began on 1 January 1999, when the exchange rates of the participating currencies were irrevocably set. Euro area Member States began implementing a common monetary policy, the euro was introduced as a legal currency and the 11 currencies of the participating Member States became subdivisions of the euro. Greece joined on 1 January 2001 and so 12 Member States introduced the new euro banknotes and coins at the beginning of this year. The successful development of the euro is central to the realisation of a Europe in which people, services, capital and goods can move freely. This is history in the making. It is the largest monetary changeover the world has ever seen - join us in celebrating and finding out more about our new currency. Our new single currency originates in the Treaties. All the Treaties were prepared and signed by members of the European Council, which
Self-Efficacy Theory Explanation for the Managementof Remote Workers in Virtual Organizations
Self-Efficacy Theory Explanation for the Management of Remote Workers in Virtual Organizations Table of Contents * Abstract * Introduction * Self Efficacy Theory * The Research Model and Hypotheses * Method * Results * Discussion * Limitations and implications for Future Research * Implications for Management Practice * Conclusion * Acknowledgments * Footnotes * References * Appendix A: Questionnaire Items Abstract The current study is a first step in investigating how virtual organizations can manage remote employees effectively. The research used self-efficacy theory to build a model that predicts relationships between antecedents to employees' remote work self-efficacy assessments and their behavioral and attitudinal consequences. The model was tested using responses from 376 remotely-managed employees in 18 diverse organizations. Overall, the results indicated that remote employees' self-efficacy assessments play a critical role in influencing their remote work effectiveness, perceived productivity, job satisfaction and ability to cope. Furthermore, strong relationships were observed between employees' remote work self-efficacy judgments and several antecedents, including remote work experience and training, best practices modeling by management, computer anxiety, and IT capabilities. Because many of these antecedents can be controlled managerially,
Investigate how Human Resources is managed within Delta International Book Wholesalers Ltd.
Introduction I have been assigned to write a formal report on the way in which Human Resources is managed within a medium/large sized company. In order to complete this assignment I have chosen to investigate how Human Resources is managed within Delta International Book Wholesalers Ltd. Delta currently employs around 300 staff. I chose this company because I know a member of staff and have always received a positive response when making general enquiries into the organisation and how business is conducted. E1, Functions of the Human Resource Department There are four distinctive functions for which the Human Resource Department is ultimately responsible. They are: . Manpower Planning 2. Recruitment and selection 3. Training and development 4. Performance management: appraisals I will clearly explain each of these functions and their importance to the business. . Manpower Planning Manpower planning is the activity of management, which is aimed at coordinating the requirements for and the availability of different types of employee. It encourages the business to develop clear links between their business and HR plans so that the two can be integrated as effectively as possible. It also allows the company to control staff costs and numbers employed effectively. Manpower planning has allowed the company to develop a 'skill profile' for each of its employees.
An Empirical Investigation into the Causes and Effects of Liquidity in Emerging
An Empirical Investigation into the Causes and Effects of Liquidity in Emerging Market Sovereign Bonds and US High-Yield Corporate Bonds . Introduction Emerging market sovereign bonds and US high-yield corporate bonds have increasingly become competing asset classes over the past decade. Investors have turned to both markets in the search for high yield following global economic slowdown and low global interest rates. One main concern investors have about both bond markets is their liquidity risk. Owing to the nature of fixed income securities, higher return is often associated with higher risk. High-yield bonds have below investment grade ratings because of the high probability of default of the country issuing the security. This means that it can be difficult to sell such assets at the correct market price and so a liquidity premium exists. This can be measured by the difference between the bid and ask prices on the bond in question. If investors are increasingly willing to hold such bonds in the wake of global economic slowdown and because of the impressive returns such asset classes achieve, it is interesting to consider if changes in liquidity in one market will affect changes in liquidity of the opposing market. Then the macroeconomic fundamentals that cause such changes to take place need to be examined. This paper uses data on average monthly bid-ask spreads1 in
