Psychology
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a recognized psychological disorder typically characterized by:
- Obsessions (intrusive thoughts, impulses, images)
- Examples: contamination, doubts, need for order, inappropriate impulses, etc.
- Compulsions (repetitive behaviors in response to obsessions)
- Examples: hand washing, checking, ordering things, counting, etc.
An example would be an individual who has an unrealistic fear of germs (the obsession) spending an inordinate amount of time repeatedly washing their hands (the compulsion).
This extra credit exercise (which consists of one question) asks you to match the statements regarding the cause of OCD with each of the modern perspectives in psychology that we discussed in our first class meeting. This exercise is worth 3 extra credit points. Partial credit will be applied.

a. Do you forecast a labour shortage or surplus?
b. Develop a clear plan to help address the forecast labour shortage or surplus.
Assuming an annual 15 percent turnover level of in-store workers and a 30 percent turnover level of online-focussed employees, determine overall HR supply estimates over the next three years.
c. Report the number of employees that will be surplus or shortages for each part of the business and for each year.
d. Report the numbers of any employees that will need to be terminated each year and the services that should be provided for them.
e. Additionally, provide some suggestions of activities you could engage in to determine supply details by internal vs. external candidates.
Previously, you proposed various options for a trip to YOUR COUNTRY. Your coworkers then reviewed these options and indicated their preferences.
1. Based on the preferences indicated by your coworkers, create a trip agenda for seven days in-country (i.e., arrival is Day Zero and departure is Day Eight). Plan your multi-city trip so it includes a national festival of some kind. Your trip should be filled with unique activities and experiences that make it a true representation of the people and culture of YOUR COUNTRY. Each of these unique activities and experiences should be accompanied by both an image and a description to introduce it to your peers. (Remember only a couple of coworkers have seen your earlier trip plan.) Presume Covid 19 is not a consideration.
Note: The images for your trip should be visible in Post A, NOT in a file. Your peers should be able to see the entire trip agenda and images without opening anything.
2. In a second Post A, include one video (Youtube or another source) of something interesting you have on your trip’s agenda.
