This research is important in order to assess the overall status of shared services within the standards community and to understand why some shared service solutions are more or less successful than others. In this way Standards bodies can build on each other’s experiences and work together better in line with the overall goal and objective of standards in the real world of business, public services and home communities. The processes and objectives of each NSB are very similar so it makes sense to work more closely together and share systems however this is not happening as a norm for most standards bodies so the question is why and what needs to be done to make shared services work. It is worthwhile understanding how different key organisational …show more content…
All of this research can therefore lead to a better understanding of the way in which standards bodies currently operate their ICT systems and how their supporting ICT operations might be improved. 1.5 Scope and Limitations The overall scope of this research paper is to review how shared services has been adapted and integrated into similar organisations and to analyse how successful the shared services model has been for them. It will also analyse how successful it could be for national standards bodies in the future. The survey and interviews will also provide a detailed insight into the current status of shared services systems in NSBs together with their supporting structures and future plans. The main limitations of this study are the time and number of bodies to be included for practical purposes. 1.6 Roadmap of Chapters Chapter 1 introduces the research topic and provides all the relevant background information on the research area. It describes the primary research question and associated

Support service must be provided through the developer or supplier of the technological product. Alternatively, monitoring and other support services for the new technology can be outsourced to a tech center that services the system. This might include support for technology infrastructure, hardware, software applications and communications. All staff should then be trained in operating the new system and customer must be made aware of the new service being offered to them before the implementation stage. Finally risk management assessments should be performed and contingency plans developed to respond to worst case scenarios as Dream Destination must be realistic about the disadvantages of implementation of new technologies and resistance to change by
A strength of PMHS service coordination units is that services are aimed to assist the “whole person.” We meet consumers at their levels, work on what is important to them and create an individualized approach to help each consumer. Additionally, strength of the unit is paperwork. From intake to closing, paperwork provides structure to the unit and stands something tangible for both consumers and SCs to see their progress, even if they still have more work before obtaining all of the consumer’s goals. On the other hand, limitations include a disproportion number of SCs compared to other unit.
Human Services Essential Function Skills Assignment. Below is my reflection regardless my three weaker skills according described in the assignment on December 16th, 2015. Goal 1: Communications and writing legible with proper grammar, spelling and punctuation.
In the ever changing landscape of health and social care and children and young person’s settings there are many pieces of government legislation and regulatory framework that service providers and organisations must now comply with. For example Care Quality Commission (CQC) introduced the essential standards of quality and safety which are central to the workplace. Every staff member has responsibility for providing good quality social care. Social care governance is the process by which organisations ensure good service delivery and promote good outcomes for people who use services.
DMS is known as a shared service provider that gives assistance to state agencies and state employees through the areas of Human Resource Support, Business Operations, and Specialized Services. (Florida Department of Management Services, n.d.) During the 1990s, the Florida Department of Management Service (DMS) had already built a big information systems network. This network was utilized to serve the state government agencies in at least ten regional sites, and linked these locations to the data center that is located in
For example: If I was to go in and do all the house hold tasks such as cleaning, changing beds, cooking etc., this could lead to the service users thinking that it’s the staff’s job to do the tasks when really it may be that the service users are actually supposed to help and participate in those type of tasks. So reading the daily logs, care plans and activity planners for the service users is a must because not only do I know what my responsibilities are I also find out what the service user’s roles and responsibilities are in and around the home to keep them independent. Using the service will have confidence in the organizations involved if information is clear; the service will be more efficient because each party will know what they need to do. Overall it will portray a more positive professional image as well as satisfaction for the person using the
My understanding of Human Services is to help people who need additional help and guidence to move forward with their life. Sometimes people need help with external problems such as the loss of a job, the need for food or housing or for help getting out of a dangerous situation or mental and physical health crisis. The Human Services practitioner is a professional who acts as an agent to assist and or empower individulas, groups, families and communities to help them function more effectivly in all areas of life and improve living condition. Human Service professional will always advocate for their clients and will never give up on them and make sure to strive for the clients well being as long as the client want to change.
Portfolio Part B: Reflection on the overall learning within the module Prior to starting this course the MA Social Work course and the PPSWP module I felt very confident in the aspects of communicating effectively and working with a diverse range of people, and after the reading the professional capabilities framework I believe that I hold the same personal values which is expected of a social worker. The PCF6 talks about the importance of critical reflection and reflective practice explaining that it helps improve accountability, professional development and helps to you understand your own tacit knowledge and gain new knowledge, which improves outcomes and experiences for social workers. (Capabilities within the PCF, 2016) For this reflection
Social Credit System Would you like to live in a world where you get judged on how kind you are to people and how much compassion you show to one another? Well, with the social credit system that's not how it works. With the social credit system you get judged on how honest you are in government affairs, on your commercial integrity, societal integrity, and judicial integrity. This means those that deal with or handle problems involving science and or the government get treated better than those who help the poor for a living or take care of special needs kids. Though there are people out there who think this is a system that is good for society and this fixes many solutions they are also the kind of people who know they can make it with this system, not worrying about those who can’t.
Interning at DFCS has most certainly impacted my personal, professional, and academic goals. Before my internship, I knew I wanted to pursue my Master of Social Work after graduation and had some ideas about potential careers within the social work realm. My internship with DFCS has truly solidified my desire to pursue an MSW. While I have enjoyed my placement at DFCS, the internship has shown me that I don’t think DFCS is necessarily the agency I would like to work with after graduating with my masters. My work with DFCS (and seeing how many of our clients struggle with substance abuse) has solidified my thoughts that I would like to one day work as a substance abuse and mental health counselor.
Childhood should be be filled with memories of happy times, love and warmth. Sadly not every child is blessed with a stable home life and parents who care about the overall well-being of them. Child welfare social work is a field of social work that makes sure the child’s needs are met. Being a social worker you work with children and families in need. It’s a hands-on job combined with a necessity of being able to handle a heavy workload.
Community service does not only have a profound impact on our community, but the impact it has on the individual people is even greater. The concept of community service has always been something that I grew up with, and now that I am older I better understand how important community service is for society. I have participated in community service activities. Starting in elementary school, I helped feed the homeless and rescue animals. Even with my wide range of volunteer experience, it was difficult to find an activity that would be meaningful and fulfill my thirty-hour obligation for my senior project.
Volunteering is a way of helping others. It is giving a person 's time and ability to help someone who may be in need of help. Not only does volunteering help others, but what they may not know is that it can be helpful to themselves. It is a great way for someone to interact with others in their community. It gives someone that time to themselves while also creating bonds when they are doing the greater good.
