Provide An explanation of what addiction is from a professional perspective to a client in order to establish an understanding in laymen’s terms

  Discussion: Definitions and Theoretical Models of AddictionThe term addiction is used throughout this course to include both substance-use disorders (e.g., alcoholism, cocaine dependence) and behavioral disorders with addictive components (e.g., pathological gambling, sex addiction).Addiction, whether to chemicals or behaviors, is part of a broad continuum (Doweiko, 2019). At one end of the continuum is total abstinence or the non-problematic use of chemicals or patterns of behavior. The moderately problematic use of chemicals or patterns of behavior, known as abuse, is found in the middle of the continuum. At the far end is the destructive use of chemicals or patterns of behavior that characterize addiction. A person can move from the abuse stage on the continuum back to the non-problematic stage with reasonable effort. However, as individuals progress into the addictive end stage, a great amount of motivation, effort, and professional guidance are required to change.Provide a 400-word Discussion Post detailing the following topics, headings, and content: An explanation of what addiction is from a professional perspective to a client in order to establish an understanding in laymen’s terms.o  Include a psychological or medical model of addiction that supports your explanation. o Then, clarify how your explanation relates to Marge from this week’s media piece Counseling Session 1.Support your response using only the following resources and current literature.

Create a food web that involves your chosen character

 Think of a cartoon show or a character. Create a food web that involves your chosen character (can use characters from the show or from other shows – it just has to make sense). The food web should have at least 4 cartoon characters (species). The only exception is producers (plants/algae/phytoplankton) since you may not find a cartoon character for it, so you can just use a graphic. Make sure your food web starts with a producer.You may use , , PowerPoint or any other tool that you are familiar with to create your infographic. Your infographic should encompass the concepts in a visually pleasing way (including photos of the characters chosen). An infographic is a collection of imagery, charts, and minimal text that gives an easy-to-understand overview of a topic, typically on one page not multiple slides (learn how to to make it all one page).

What other incentives would assist the company in motivating the sales staff?

Read the case study.Submit in essay form, following APA format, the answers to the questions related to the case study Sodexo Incentives.Be sure to follow APA guidelines and write your paper in the proper format, not as a question and answer.420 SECTION 1 Environment of Human Resource Management HR EXPERIENTIAL PROBLEM SOLVING Your insurance company needs to update the sales incentive program for its sales/marketing representatives. Due to growth in the volume and diversity of the products being sold, the existing system of having one incentive program for all sales marketers no longer meets the needs of the company. To maximize sales in each of the product lines, the system needs to provide an incentive and reward system to encourage employees to focus on their specific product lines while also cross-marketing the company’s portfolio of other products. To identify the key facets of a sales commission program, visit websites including www.8020salesperformance .com/sales_compensation.html. 1. Would a compensation program that offered only commission work for your company? Why or why not? 2. What other incentives would assist the company in motivating the sales staff? Many employers offer incentives to employees working in different jobs. Often, the incentives are to reward employee performance, both in the short and the long term. But some company incentive plans are viewed negatively by employees, while others are seen as highly positive by employees at all levels. One firm that has a well-regarded, broad-based incentive plan is Sodexo, a large food and facilities service firm with more than 350,000 employees in 80 countries. Being such a large firm, Sodexo has a variety of clients, including many corporate and governmental entities, hospitals, manufacturing firms, and universities. Thus, the firm’s client services are varied, with many of them being basic ones such as cleaning offices, maintenance of all types of facilities, doing landscaping, and managing other basic and professional activities. In North America, including the United States, Sodexo has almost 125,000 staff members. More than 40,000 of the North American staff members work in health care, including clinics, offices, and hospital sites. Being such a large firm with employees doing many different types of jobs, a key part of Sodexo’s organizational and HR cultures involves engaging its employees in many ways. One aspect is having a widely based employee rewards program containing recognition and incentives. The company’s “Spirit of Sodexo” program focuses on three general-award facets: service, teamwork, and progress. To operate this program, the company has required executives, including the top HR officer, to develop processes for the nomination of employees who make significant contributions, locally and regionally, as well as in business and corporate divisions of the firm. Some of the recognitions and awards provided to employees are interesting. Because the biggest division of workers is in health care locations, a special incentive program called Sodexo CARES has been used for several years for employees who accomplish especially unique results. At one hospital, a small group of dieticians developed a new system for ordering medication and devices online, something that is not done in most hospitals. These dieticians received recognition and incentive awards for their job-related accomplishments. Another incentive reward for exceptional efforts went to a female employee who worked as a food caterer and prepared special meals for a young foreign hospital patient who had difficulty eating typical U.S. foods. The employee homecooked various items for that patient when the patient had surgery. Her efforts were increasingly recognized throughout Sodexo, and she received a national incentive award. Both she and her husband attended a national meeting in a different city where she was recognized and became the subject of a short video. She also received a $500 gift card and a lot of publicity. Numerous other examples exist showing how Sodexo uses employee incentives as part of its culture in many different industry jobs.
