Jewish Family Services Resumes Writing - What Is The Real Story Behind These Stereotypes?

Jewish Family Services Resumes Writing - What Is The Real Story Behind These Stereotypes?Have you ever noticed that a lot of Jewish family services resume writing is done by non-Jews? It seems as if Jews are constantly turning their backs on other minorities, and the same thing goes for other people with whom they have contact. If you are interested in a career in the field of Jewish family services, it might be time to look elsewhere.We are all aware of the Christian Church's difficulties in America. The Catholic Church has become a target for vandalism and lies. So much so that, when I read an article stating that the Catholic Church was not really a religion, but a cult, I began to think of that example as well.I don't know about you, but I am one of those who is very bothered by these claims about the Catholic Church. On top of that, I hate to see such things perpetuated to control and hurt the innocent and defenseless. There are many groups who take advantage of this prejudice, and this is just one of them.As much as Hollywood is known for its movies, what it isn't known for is the recent movie 'Frozen' which claims that the Lutheran Church in America is a cult. It does not take an expert to see the obvious discrepancies between the story and reality. It's about time Hollywood sets the record straight once and for all.After all, shouldn't the Jewish faith to be respected and recognized for the great things it has done for society? The Jewish people have never attacked another minority and never will.The Jewish faith is for everyone, including Christians, and for centuries it has been responsible for great progress. So why are these stereotypes perpetuated?No matter which side of the issue you are on, it is important to remember that Jewish people have helped mankind so much, especially in the past few centuries. This fact is not questioned, and it is not supposed to be.

Sexual Harassment, Discrimination Survey Men, Women Polled

Sexual Harassment, Discrimination Survey Men, Women Polled A new poll from the Wall Street Journal and NBC found 48% of female workers said they had personally experienced sexual harassment at work. Meanwhile, 41% of employed men said they’d witnessed sexual harassment occur at work. And the vast majority of survey respondents agreed that sexual harassment in the workplace is quite common: 67% said they believe that sexual harassment takes place in most or almost all work environments, including 62% of men and 71% of women. In 1991, by contrast, when a similar poll was taken, 63% of Americans said they thought sexual harassment happened in most or almost all workplaces. The new poll surveyed 900 adults, including 265 working women and 286 employed men. The New York Times reporting into allegations of sexual harassment against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein has prompted hundreds of women, and some men, to come forward with their stories of harassment. On Monday, actor Anthony Rapp accused actor Kevin Spacey of making sexual advances on him when he was a minor. When asked in the WSJ/NBC poll if they had “received an unwelcome sexual advance or other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature at work,” nearly half of women said yes. The poll also found 38% of employed women said they believed they’d been paid less than a man for the same work, and that 37% felt their viewpoint was dismissed because of their gender.

The Impact of Trucker Driver Wellness Programs

The Impact of Trucker Driver Wellness Programs The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health recently interviewed nearly 1,700 truckers about their health and workâ€"and the results were shocking. 69% were obese. 54% smoked. And 88% reported at least one risk factor for chronic disease. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1472832551951-0'); }); Improving trucker wellness is a no-brainer for any long-haul fleet; it can help prevent high turnover rates, but also helps retain the most talented employees without having to lose them to disease or poor health.Its never been easy to stay fit or healthy on the long-haul, but it’s no longer possible to ignore the impact on truckers’ health. Melton Truck Lines in Tulsa, OK, first rolled out an intervention program aimed at helping drivers who might be close to failing their physicals to lower their blood pressure and glucose levels. They hired a wellness manager, implemented a weight loss and voluntary lipid-panel testing program to guard against c reeping cholesterol levels, and converted an employee smoking lounge into a gym. Melton’s Tulsa headquarters also added a landscaped walking and jogging trail, a fresh and healthy café, and a clinic providing no-cost primary medical care to employees.Getting drivers to participate in their own health is the cornerstone of the program. Melton even offers a “Health Concierge” service that helps employees sort through their health care costs and needs. There are various incentives and motivational programs, an online community, and even an app to keep employees motivated.While it’s hard to measure the success of these new initiatives on turnover rates, more drivers are passing their DOT physicals. And the number of employees who identified as having three medical risk factors dropped from 51% to 38% within one year. The number of employees reporting zero risk factors went up from 13% to 17% in that same year.Other companies have followed suit. Celadon Trucking launched their â €œHighway to Health” program in 2006, with similar screenings and incentives, as well as nutritional and exercise programs, and a full-service primary care medical clinic in their Indianapolis headquarters (as of 2011). And Schneider also has a Health and Wellness Manager to oversee their programs and focus on keeping individual truckers as healthy and productive as possible, which makes them safer on the road.We can only hope these trends begin to spread throughout the industry and become standard practiceâ€"for the benefit of everyone involved.The Impact of Truck Driver Wellness Programs
