Examine agency and employment relationships.

The Cardigan family has made a name for themselves in the sweater industry whereby they have designed sweaters for a variety of uses and for a wide target audience ranging from toddlers to business professionals. Cassandra, whom everyone calls Cassie, is the CEO of CARDWARE Inc., Camoni is the spokesperson for the sweater line, and Candie models the lines in the professional sphere. They often use their mother, Camille, as a business consultant for input about various new ideas and marketing because she was the manager and agent of her son’s glove company. Cora and Caley, Camille’s two youngest daughters from her second failed marriage to Bo Jenkins, are co-office managers of their headquarters located in Silkadonia. CARDWARE is growing by leaps and bounds. It has now opened 10 new stores nationwide under the name “The Sporty One.” It has been agreed by the Board of Directors at CARDWARE Inc. that each store shall have a general manager and assistant manager who both were to act as sales persons and one additional sales person. The slogan the store advertises its sports ware with is “You don’t have to be an athlete to look and feel like one.” The current sports ware that “The Sporty One” carries shows a clothing distribution of 60% for females and 40% of its line is for males. However, it would eventually like for it to be a 50/50 distribution. The Cardigans research has demonstrated that the trend has been more female than male shoppers. Further, following the marketing theory of many high end clothing stores, CARDWARE prefers slender, young employees to work for it, so that the clothing line can keep with the image of being sporty. Petunia Rotunda, a middle aged, slightly plump woman saw an ad online for a salesperson for The Sporty One and applied for the position. The ad read as follows: WANTED: Salesperson experienced in retail sales or marketing preferred, energetic, youthful, athletic, and able to “sport” the clothing lines of The Sporty One with style. The Sporty One is a division of CARDWARE Inc. and proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. Petunia has had 5 years of retail experience working in a garden shop that did have some flannel shirts and aprons as well as gardening gloves for sale. Noah Dahl, a college graduate in marketing also saw the ad and applied for the salesperson position at The Sporty One. Noah, a slender racquetball player has not had any retail experience but has had customer service experience for an online gaming company. After interviewing both applicants, CARDWARE’s General Manager, Chloe, one of the cousins of the Cardigan clan has decided to hire Noah. Petunia was outraged claiming that she should have been hired and that she has been discriminated against based on her age. CARDWARE contends that Noah was more qualified as per the advertisement as well as company image and future plans for the company; age had nothing to do with it. Noah began work the following week. Still angry, Petunia visited The Sporty One. She began to harass Noah to the point where other customers started to leave the store. Having had enough insults, Noah grabbed Petunia by the arm and shoved her towards the door. She stumbled and ran into one of the clothing racks and thereafter knocked over 92-year-old Hetty Whitestone who was passing by the mall store. Hetty suffered a concussion and died. Using the above facts given, please label with headings and discuss the following in this order: PART I: Did CARDWARE have genuine BFOQs (Bona Fide Occupational Job Qualifications) in its ad? Do not forget to review the company’s slogan as given in the above facts. Be sure to discuss Petunia’s point of view as well as CARDWARE’s position and defenses. Use legal authority to support your position as well. PART II: If Petunia brings a lawsuit based on negligence against CARDWARE and The Sporty One, will CARDWARE be responsible for Noah’s behavior? If so, under what theory? What defenses might CARDWARE assert? If Hetty Whitestone’s estate claims that CARDWARE should be responsible for Hetty’s death, will it? What defenses might CARDWARE utilize?

In other words, your narrative should explain why the article describes an event or action that creates or affects an emerging trend in an industry or business that would be of interest to you.

An important part of the course is developing your inclination to monitor the news, especially in the area of employee benefits. To encourage the habit of conducting current research (i.e., keeping one’s eyes open), it is a good idea to read about the world, national and business sections of a high-quality daily newspaper (e.g., The Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, New York Times) or accessing a news website or watching/listening to a news broadcast (Comedy channel is not considered one). One or two randomly selected students will have the opportunity to briefly share with the class something they found interesting relating to Employee Benefits. You should be prepared to make informal presentation for about 3-5 minutes during each class meeting. A short typewritten analysis (double spaced, 200 words, with a cover page) with a reference should be submitted in the Blackboard. At the top of your analysis, the following statement must appear: “My manager should care about this article because. . .” In other words, your narrative should explain why the article describes an event or action that creates or affects an emerging trend in an industry or business that would be of interest to you. Articles that do not have your typewritten analysis attached will not receive credit.

Review the Policy Statements and Advocacy web page and How to Write a Health Policy Brief.

Advocating for Public Health Policy [WLO: 3] [CLOs: 1, 5] Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapter 8 in your textbook, and review Chapter 5 sections on policy. Read the Stop the Global Epidemic of Chronic Disease: A Practical Guide to Successful Advocacy. Review the Policy Statements and Advocacy web page and How to Write a Health Policy Brief. Finally, review the grading rubric for grading criteria. Imagine that you have been chosen to represent a public health advocacy group as they begin a campaign to get legislation related to a health issue passed in your state legislature. You have been tasked with the role of presenting a proposed policy to the legislature and advocating that the legislature vote for the policy. You have been told that you will have 10 minutes to present to the legislature. For this assignment, you will create an 8 to 10-minute presentation. Your presentation should be informative, but also persuasive, and be absolutely no longer than 10 minutes but no less than 8 minutes. Your presentation can be created using Screencast-O-Matic, the camera and microphone on your computer or handheld device within Canvas, or you can create slides using the voice recording functions within a presentation program (like PowerPoint). Instructions on how to use these tools are below. Professional dress, attitude, and clear communication matters for this assignment. The legislature will need to make a decision about whether or not to vote for the policy based on your presentation. Your presentation should be structured exactly as if you were “live” in front of the legislature advocating for them to adopt the policy you are proposing. For your presentation, you will need to select a public health topic of interest to you (you are encouraged to choose one related to your academic major or intended field of work) and a public health policy related to addressing the topic. You may select an actual proposed policy or create one that you think would effectively address the topic. Your presentation should provide enough information about the topic and the proposed policy that a reasonably educated legislator should be able to make an informed decision. Be sure to consider the various questions that a legislator might have about the issue and proposed policy, such as long-term costs and benefits, potential effects on business and industry (especially those that support politicians’ campaigns), and how the policy will support the health and productivity of state residents. Your presentation should address each of the following points: Discuss the public health issue that your proposed policy is intended to address. Questions to consider: Who does this health issue affect? What is the impact of this health issue on the community? Why does this health issue need to be addressed? Explain the proposed public health policy. Questions to consider: Who will be affected by this policy? How will this policy address the health issue? What will change by enacting this policy? Evaluate the impacts of the proposed policy. Questions to consider: What are the costs and benefits of the policy? What are the risks of enacting or not enacting the policy? How will the lives of people who are affected by the health issue change if this policy is enacted? Create an influential presentation that affects voting behaviors of legislators. Questions to consider: What information about this policy would potentially affect the voting behavior of legislators from across the political spectrum (e.g. conservative, moderate, liberal, progressive; particularly those who might not support the policy based on political orientation)? What are the most important messages that legislators need to hear about this policy? How would the constituents of the legislators voting for this policy feel about this policy and a legislator who votes for it? What information would a legislator need to “sell” the policy to constituents who were perhaps not in favor of adopting the policy? The Advocating for Public Health Policy assignment Must be 8 to 10-minute formal presentation recorded as a video, screencast, or using the voice recording functions in a presentation program. Must include at least 100 words in the presenter’s notes for each slide if choosing a presentation program. You may want to look at How to Make a PowerPoint Presentation to get started. Pay attention to APA style and formatting in this “how to” guide. APA guidelines are required in presentations and any scholarly work you create. Must include a separate title slide with the following: Title of presentation Students name Course name and number Instructor’s name Date submitted Must utilize academic voice. See the Academic Voiceresource for additional guidance. Must include an introduction and conclusion statement. Your introduction needs to end with a clear statement that indicates the purpose of your presentation. For assistance on writing Introductions & Conclusionsrefer to the Ashford Writing Center resources. Must use at least three scholarly, peer-reviewed, or credible sources (one of those may be the course text). The Scholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources table offers additional guidance on appropriate source types. The Ashford University Library is a great place to find resources. Watch the Ashford University Library Quick ‘n’ Dirty tutorial for research tips. If you have questions about whether a specific source is appropriate for this assignment, please contact your instructor. Your instructor has the final say about the appropriateness of a specific source for a particular assignment. Must document any information used from sources in APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center’s Citing Within Your Paper. Must include a separate reference slide or reference page that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. See the Formatting Your References List resource in the Ashford Writing Center for specifications. Must use speakers notes as follows: Review the PowerPoint Speaker Notes video tutorial. (YouTube Accessibility Statement. and Privacy Policy) Speaker notes are the typed notes that appear below the slide that complement the presentation slides. Whereas the slides will have short bulleted items, the speaker notes will be more detailed. They are essentially what the presenter would say during the presentation to explain each of the bulleted points on the slide. Therefore, it is important that the speaker notes are concise and detailed when explaining the bullet points. It is recommended that PowerPoint Slides contain no more than five bullet points and should not contain more than seven to 10 words each. Do not type paragraphs or long sentences on the slide. The information that explains each bullet point is conveyed via speaker notes or by recording your voice to each slide.
