UK Police Funding 2017 Major Government Update!

UK Police Funding 2017 Major Government Update! Fantastic news coming from the UK government this week, as it has been announced that the Home Office are allocating an extra £450 million in UK police funding. In this blog, we’ll elaborate on these plans, and explain how the new police funding measures will be implemented.Where is the police funding coming from?Obviously, £450 million is quite a significant amount. As we know, money doesn’t grow on trees, so where exactly is it coming from?Well, firstly, the government are planning to give police and crime commissioners the power to raise council taxes. At the moment there is a particular portion of council tax which goes towards policing. Under the new initiative, police and crime commissioners will be able to raise this by £12 per household, annually. In doing so, they would raise a whopping £270 million. Meanwhile, the government themselves will provide £130 million for key priorities such as firearms, plus an extra £50 million for counter terrorism â€" an extremely im portant area these days.Why has the money been allocated?Amongst constant news of police budget cuts, deteriorating standards and the difficulty of being an officer these days, this is an extremely welcome move by a government who have come under major criticism for their previous approach to the police budget. This year, the government seem to have taken a different outlook, and the move comes in the wake of Policing Minister Nick Hurd taking the time to speak to every force about the difficulties they face, and the best way to overcome them. Based on this feedback, the new budget was produced. The government acknowledged this in a statement, claiming that ‘with more victims of serious hidden crimes coming forward, there is a greater demand on policing than ever before.’ With this in mind, the government have put together a police funding budget ‘that makes sure police have the resources they need.’Not everyone is happyWhile the news has gone down well with some people, the re are many people who feel that the budget is still not enough, with concerns being raised especially about the funding. The mayor of Manchester has claimed that raising council tax means that the most deprived people in the country will bear the burden of the government’s failure to fund policing. Likewise, Sadiq Khan and various others have chimed in, claiming that the budget is simply not enough and falls ‘a long way short’ of the money needed to guarantee an effective police force.In response, the home secretary has defended the government, claiming that although taxpayers will need to invest more money, they will be doing so for a great cause, and that the work police officers do is vital. She also encouraged the police force to step up their efforts, claiming that the government is committed to meeting the challenges of modernity in policing, and that the police now needs to be prepared to do the same. Many people have questioned this statement, especially given the lac k of police funding from the government in recent years… This entry was posted in Police, News. Bookmark the permalink.

Tough (Question) Tuesday What have you learned by taking the scenic route

Tough (Question) Tuesday What have you learned by taking the scenic route Scenic Route by Alli Coate In a session the other night, my client explained, Yknow, Im always the kind of person that wants everything to change and start happening in, like, a week! We both laughed, because we knew that life rarely ever works that way, especially when you have a Big Change to make (becoming an entrepreneur, switching careers, following your passion, yada yada yada). But it got me thinking about how beneficial it is sometimes to take the long way around, and have that change take months or even years. So think back on that goal that took you so long to accomplish, or the one that you were forced to take the roundabout way on, and answer this: What have you learned by taking the scenic route? Meet ya in the comments! *******************************************************************************************************

In-N-Out Burgers Lynsi Snyder Tops List of Best CEOs

In-N-Out Burger's Lynsi Snyder Tops List of Best CEOs As the sole heir to a beloved multi-billion dollar burger franchise, In-N-Out President and CEO Lynsi Snyder was born into a blueprint for success â€" but that doesn’t mean she’s taking her inheritance lightly. At 37 years old, Snyder is the highest-rated female CEO in the U.S., according to Glassdoor’s Employees’ Choice Awards for the Top CEOs in 2019. Her 99% approval rating (up 2% from 2018), earned her the top spot among female CEOs in the U.S., as well as restaurant CEOs in the U.S. Overall, she’s ranked #3, following software company VMware’s Patrick Gelsinger and supermarket chain H E B’s Charles C. Butt. The accolade is courtesy of her own employees, who voluntarily shared their input on things like leadership, work environment, and CEO job performance via Glassdoor’s company review survey. To be considered, CEOs had to have received a minimum of 100 approval ratings and 100 senior management ratings on Glassdoor’s website between May 2018 and May 2019. Over a million CEO ratings were submitted to the site during that period of time, and In-N-Out’s proved to be among the best. Unlike most fast food chains, the company offers strong on-the-job training with growth opportunities, provides excellent benefits for both part-time and full-time workers, and pays its employees an average $13/hour ($4 more than most), with managers making an easy six-figure salary. It’s this top-to-bottom care and attention that gets In-N-Out so much positive feedback, from cooks, cashiers, and higher-level employees alike. “Phenomenal First Job OR Management Position,” one former employee wrote. “People are genuine, intelligent, diverse, hard working, honest, and overall good human beings,” wrote a manager in Baldwin Park, CA â€" the location of the first In-N-Out Burger. “The leaders are amazing mentors who focus on serving others, and simply love all people.” There are the occasional naysayers of course, but the general consensus is that Snyder has maintained a great work atmosphere over the years. This is the fourth year in a row she’s been on the list since she became President and CEO in 2010, and the second year in a row that she’s cracked the top 10. “Whatever his or her career goals might be, my hope is that anyone who spends time as an In-N-Out Associate finds the experience valuable,” she said in an interview with Glassdoor last year. ages. Digital First Media via Getty Im Snyder’s Recipe for Success Snyder is notoriously private, but over the years a few details about her life have emerged, painting a portrait of a woman who is resilient in the face of overwhelming stress and adversity â€" characteristics any young CEO should have at their disposal. For starters, the young billionaire says she’s almost been abducted twice: Once when she was 17 and in high school, and once when she was 24 â€" the year her grandmother passed away, leaving her to be the sole heir to the franchise. At the time of the second attempt, she was working management at an In-N-Out and reportedly ran across the highway in order to escape, fearing she was a target for abduction. She’s also a thrill seeker on her own, dabbling in adrenaline pumping sports like amateur boxing and drag racing. Her late father got her into the latter, taking her to the racetrack when she was just a toddler. Her father died when she was 17, and in a rare interview with a Christian media group, she said that she attributes her born again Christianity to this loss, and to the time she spent dealing with the repercussions of her subsequent relationships: Four marriages, the first of which happened when she was 18. Today, she’s married to her fourth husband, and has four children in total. Surprisingly, her first job wasn’t at In-N-Out, but at a dentist’s office, where she worked as a receptionist for her father’s friend …and her current job is the result of a series of family tragedies. When her grandfather died of lung cancer in 1976, her uncle took over the family business. He ran the company for almost two decades, before he died in a plane crash in 1993, leaving her father to take the reins. Just six years later, her father overdosed on prescription drugs. He was divorced at the time and Lynsi was only 17, so his mother and In-N-Out co-founder Esther Snyder stepped in. When she passed away in 2006, she left Mark Taylor (Lynsi’s brother-in-law and VP of Operations at the time) in charge. And four years later, Lynsi took over the role of President and CEO as the only remaining heir. Decades later, In-N-Out still has a cult following, but she won’t take all the credit for that. “There’s a lot of loyal fans, but I think we’re a loyal company,” she said in an interview with Good Day L.A. in December. “I don’t do this alone. I do this with an amazing team. So that Glassdoor rating doesn’t point to me, it points to a team of people.”

They Hired Someone Else Instead of Making Me Full-Time! - Work It Daily

They Hired Someone Else Instead of Making Me Full-Time! - Work It Daily Dear J.T. Dale: My wife was hired as a caregiver at an assisted-living home almost a year ago and was told that it would be full-time after three months. She is still part-time. She has asked several times, when other employees resigned, if she could have a regular shift. The supervisor said yes, then hired someone else to fill the shift. My wife's performance review was very good. Is there any action she can take? - Len J.T.: Unfortunately, I don't see anything your wife can do to force a change. While the right thing for management to do would be to honor the original agreement, I would say that your wife is not being considered for full-time. DALE: There's something odd about that. Lots of employers like to start people out part-time, testing them before moving them to full-time or letting them go. Why would your wife get stuck in job limbo? Maybe she doesn't really want to go full-time. (It wouldn't be the first time a wife misled a husband about her real intentions.) Or maybe she has failed to completely fit in. I'd urge her to ask her manager for advice on how to be a great employee, and to ask her co-workers how she could do better. She could get everyone involved in her career success and learn a lot along the way. J.T.: That's possible, but I'd suggest that she also look for another job. She had a great performance review and is currently working, which puts her in a strong position for job searching. Then she can enjoy the best revenge - walking in with her two-weeks' notice and telling them of her great new full-time assignment. Feel free to send questions to J.T. and Dale via e-mail at advice@jtanddale.com or write to them in care of King Features Syndicate, 300 W. 57th Street, 15th Floor, New York, NY 10019. © 2012 by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

When to Leave a Job Off Your Resume - Jobscan Blog

When to Leave a Job Off Your Resume - Jobscan BlogPosted on October 16, 2017August 20, 2018 by Matt Krumrie Remember this A resume is a marketing document that quickly shows a potential employer how you are a fit for their job.It is bedrngnis a career biography.Can I leave a job off my resume?To determinewhich jobs in your past to leave off your resume, consider the following questions from Lori Williams, Resume Writer and Career Coach at Unstoppable CommunicationsWill this job be relevant to the job in which I am currently applying or to the career I want to pursue?If I remove this job off my resume will it create a noticeable gap in my work history that I cant explain?Did I leave this job on bad terms, which can result in a bad recommendation should a recruiter or hiring manger check out my background?These three questions can help you decide which jobs you can leave off your resume, Williams tells Jobscan. Always consider putting relevant work history that reflects your skills and showcases quantifiable stats in roles that will help promote you to the next step in your career. Likewise, if you were only in that role for three months or less, I strongly suggest leaving it off a resume unless it was an internship or volunteer experience.Laura Mazzullo, owner of East Side Staffing, a New York City-based boutique recruitment firm focused on the permanent placement of menschengerecht Resources professionals, also suggests asking yourself some questions and thinking like a recruiter who is reading your resume. Is this previous job relevant to what Im applying for? Do I want to be asked about it on the interview? Will talking about this experience on an interview impress the interviewer? Will it help or hurt my candidacy?If you dont want to be asked about it on an interview, leave it off, says Mazzullo. If you dont feel it adds anything meaningful to where you are heading in your career, leave it off.What else should you leave off a resume? Laura Handrick, a staff writer at Fit Small Business who holds SHRM certification as a Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR), and who has served as the HR director in Fortune 100 companies, helped us come up with the following tipsJobs older than 10 yearsHandrick suggests that job applicants should leave off anything thats older than ten years, as it gives away your age and can cause unintended bias on the part of the recruiter or hiring manager. That said, some recruiters say go back as far as 15 years, so if you still have relevant and important experience from 15 years ago, youd be safer to include it.Anything unrelated to your current jobLeave off anything completely unrelated, like the time you worked for your uncles construction company in the summer during college.Jobs that may cause conflicts of interest or go against values of a companyLeave off anything that doesnt reflect well on the position youre trying to get.For example, say youre looking work in IT for the Democratic National Commi ttee (Democratic Party). Stating that you worked as a political activist for the RNC (Republican National Committee) probably isnt going to help you get the job, says Handrick.The same is true for anything overly controversial. For example, lets say you want a job as a writer for a Christian educational company, and one of your writing internships was done at Planned Parenthood. Employers are not supposed to discriminate, but human beings often do, even if its unintentional, says Handrick. So why risk it?Exception to the rule College students should include any part-time work or job they held in college, whether its related to their career path, or not. That part-time job in retail, or working as a server, while in college, provides valuable skills that employers crave from entry-level job seekers. So, when you lack experience, be sure to include those part-time jobs to show you have some professional experience. Employers covet job seekers who have developed soft skills and/or work ed part-time jobs while in college especially in retail and the restaurant industry, where communication, interpersonal, and problem-solving skills are developed. The same can be said for many other part-time jobs college students hold, so include them.Jobs that make you look like a job hopperLeave off any job that you worked for less than 90 days because it makes you look like a job hopper. For example, if you took a position and then changed your mind and took a better position a few weeks later, dont list the short-term position you took first.Exceptions to the rule If the job was with a temporary staffing firm where you were working, adding skills, and staying employed while seeking permanent, full-time employment, include it. If you were performing contact work on a short-term gig, include it and label it (Contract).Leave off jobs that dont add any unique or additional skillsLets say youre an electrician. Leave off the job 12 years ago when you worked parking cars as a valet.O ther exceptions to considerWhile many hiring managers and recruiters recommend only listing jobs from the last 10-15 years, there are some recruiters who want to see a complete work history see why there is confusion among job seekers? If you do list experience past 15 years, simply only list title, company, city/state, years, like thisabsatzwirtschaft assistant, Smith Companies, St. Paul, Minnesota (2002-2003)Marketing intern, Acme Enterprise, White Bear Lake, Minnesota (2000-2001)I do believe that every job experience adds to your personal story, so I understand why some people are tempted to leave it all on the resume, said Mazzullo.Applicant tracking systems use keywords and skills to rank and filter your resume based on the job requirements, see if your previous experience is helping or hurting your current match rate by using Jobscan.Focus on most recent and relevantRemember, employers want to learn about your most recent and relevant experience, so focus on that.Example Lets say you have 10 total years of work experience and are seeking a new job in HR. The first two years of your career were in retail (sales/management). The next two were as an executive assistant. And the most recent six were as an HR generalist.Youll want the HR Generalist experience to own the most valuable space near the top of your resume, since youll want to be asked most about this on an interview (and it aligns with your goals), says Mazzullo.Think of the resume as a canvas, says Mazzullo. You want the biggest piece of the canvas to be filled with the most relevant, appealing, and attractive parts of your experience.And youll want to leave off the jobs that are irrelevant, or dont fit into the puzzle.Matt Krumrie is a professional resume writer, and owner of Resumesbymatt.com.
