Abstract
This paper describes the organizational structure and the different levels of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and then goes on to point out the weaknesses and strengths of this type of structure. Next, the paper presents recommendations for improving the agency's structure based on the analysis provided of its structural weaknesses and strengths.
From the Paper
"Another potential weakness with the structure relates to the range of departments within the structure. As noted, the National Institutes of Health has over 17,000 employees and a budget of over $27 billion. In contrast, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality has 294 employees and a budget of $309 million (U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, HHS: What We Do, 2003). The question this raises is whether the departments receive equal attention from the Office of the Secretary, or whether attention is related to size. If attention is related to size, it is possible to assume that the smaller divisions may be neglected. This could include not providing adequate control, supervision, or assistance."

Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses the history of humans providing health and social services to other humans. According to the paper, it was the Catholic Church that first provided these services, followed shortly by the English Crown. The paper also mentions that it was Hippocrates that first recognized mental illness as issues that called for a rational scientific approach.
From the Paper
"When the American colonies were established, principles of the Elizabethan Poor Law were instituted; the public assumed responsibility for the poor, legal residency issues were addressed, and families were obliged to look after their own when possible. In 1662, the very first American institution ("almshouse") for mentally handicapped people, orphans, the very poor and criminals was built (in Massachusetts), according to Woodside on page 47. The treatment of criminals and the mentally disturbed though was harsh in many cases, and it took the bright mind of Benjamin Franklin to acknowledge that special services were needed for mental patients. Still, when immigrants began pouring into America - and industry grew rapidly - in the 1800s, the need to help the less fortunate became obvious; still, on page 48 the authors explain that helping the poor only encouraged more poor to line up with their hands out."

Multicultural Human Services, 2006.
This paper examines the need to increase human services for the growing multicultural sub-population.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, despite the phenomenal growth of diverse groups, especially from the Asia-Pacific region, there is a particular need for proper care for mental health services to meet appropriately the needs of minorities in the U.S., which is a multicultural country. The author stresses that the Surgeon General's report indicates clearly the ticking time bomb associated with this issue. The paper relates that continuing to not meet this need effectively means that (1) these people can not become a part of mainstream society and contribute to the growth of the economy and that (2) people with mental problems are a breeding ground for drug trafficking and crime.
From the Paper
"...The Samaritan's report published by mind.org mentions that because of the lack of provision of mental health services, 67% of suicidal young men have experienced bullying and violence. The condition of the old people is still worse. Having been transplanted into an alien land, they suffer from alienation and loneliness, depression and feeling of guilt. They also suffer from specific hormonal and physiological changes with the result that this major group of population is compromised by illness primarily resulting from mental health. Emotionally they suffer from depression as a result of viropause and menopause."

From the Paper
"The results of sending welfare to the states are mixed. Marks (2003) argues that "welfare reform is an unqualified success. Caseloads that were bulging at more than 5 million back in 1996 have been cut in half. The child poverty rate, which peaked at more than 22 percent, has plummeted to 16 percent, allowing more than 2.9 million children to move out of poverty" (p. 1). Marks (2003 also argues that the number of single mothers who were able to work jumped from 44 percent in 1992 to 64 percent in 1999. Marks (2003) also recognizes that the vast majority of those who left the welfare rolls are working at minimum wage jobs and only about half of those who would qualify to receive welfare weren't receiving it."

Humanity is faced with a great chain of problems in the years ahead: increased population, scarce resources, global warming, just to name a few. As a result, population faces negative reactions and emotions. Counselors are in a great position to serve people in helping them face the new challenges. (Howard, 1992)."

Abstract
This well-researched paper explores human service organizations as primary fundraisers for non-profit groups such as hospitals and community centers. This paper details the various aspects of human service organizations which are an essential component in any community. This paper discusses how the monies are raised and then distributed within the actual organization. This paper discusses the numerous tax benefits available to non-profit groups which in turn are used to pay for services as well as staffing. The writer of this paper also touches on the bureaucratic and financial corruption that can and often does exist in these establishments due to the large amounts of monies that are raised. This paper delves into the available strategies to protect certain non-profit groups from misusing the finances raised. The writer discusses how implementing both scientific and business management theories can curtail corruption and mishandling of finances.
From the Paper
"Protecting the company against being financially misused is also something that is seen as being very significant, since there are some nonprofit workers that will try to use and abuse the organization that they work with for their own personal gain (Goehner, 1999). There are individuals like this all over the world, and nonprofit organisations must safeguard themselves against it as much as possible. Many think that it cannot happen to them, but it can, and does (Goehner, 1999). There are several steps that can be taken, however, to protect a nonprofit organization, and the below steps come from Goehner."

Abstract
This paper reports that even though bureaucracy gives an impression of governmental departments like taxation, and welfare, it is actually found in almost every public spheres. Corporations, churches, the military, labor and trade unions, community centers, schools, hospitals all are essentially facilitated by certain bureaucratic components. Most people take them as important part of their lives, though not readily. However the best part of bureaucracy is that it provides a set of rules and procedures to set everything running in a proper order, transparently, and also ensures consistency and fairness acceptable to all. This paper focuses on evaluating the organizational and power structures while emphasizing the need for refurbishing Human Service Organization in Australia on the lines of bureaucratic organizations.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"One of the major administrative foundations for the creation of bureaucracy is the exception principle. Therein only important and complex problems reach the higher ups while trivial routine issues are solved by the people in the lower levels. Programmed decisions are implemented automatically in accordance with the predefined operating procedures and the unusual problems requiring major decisions are routed to the top. This should make the hierarchy more effective. However there are problems related to the delegation and motivation in bureaucracy; delegating authority and power is not an easy task. It requires immense confidence in sub-ordinates and an immaculate efficacy of the system."

It describes the role of Jane Addams as founder of social work and describes the ethical principles by which social workers are supposed to abide.
From the Paper
"Jane Addams (1860-1935) founded the social work profession to help children and adults who live in poverty. She grew up in Cedarville, a small village in northwestern Illinois. Her father was a prosperous businessman, and Ms. Addams received her degree from Rockford College in 1882. From the time she was very young, she was concerned for the poor in her neighborhood. During a visit to London, England, Jane was shocked at the poverty she saw, and though she had no idea at what she could do, she vowed to one day do something to help other people. When she observed the social experimentation being done at Toynbee Hall in England, she decided to begin a similar center in Chicago, one where she could put her social principles into action and work for a better way of life for people there."

"The daycare industry is growing. The childcare services industry is one of the most rapidly growing markets, expanding in part due to accommodate the increasingly high demand for quality services. In 1999 the market for childcare services topped out at more than $3.5 billion. The market is expected to surpass $60 billion in revenues in the upcoming years, in part due to the fact that both parents typically are now working in the labor force. ?Child care expenses by households rose 15.7% between 1986 and 1999 alone?. ?Formal daycare service providers in 1999 earned revenues of approximately $1.8 billion, with expenses toping out at approximately $1.7 billion, leaving more than $96 million in profits for daycare providers?. The profit margin is approximately 5.3%."

Examines whether American Human Service Agencies effectively protect children in need.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
While in the 1960s and 1970s, child sexual abuse and child abuse in general was almost invisible, in recent year the issue is constantly in the pages of newspapers and magazines, and in portrayals on television and in movies. It sometimes appears that there has been a radical increase in the abuse of children, although experts believe most of this is the result of better reporting and changes in the perception of abuse. Still, there is a need for response; often that response leads to an intervention by human service agencies, including the possibility of removing the child from the home. The paper questions the effectiveness of these agencies in protecting children and improving their situation. The paper looks at the evolution of child welfare concepts, explores the current state of human service agency activity regarding children and comes to a conclusion about the effectiveness of human service agencies in protecting children.
From the Paper
"This seems to echo the assertion by Wells and Tracy (1996) that there needs to be a new emphasis on out-placement of children in order to provide true child welfare services. They noted that recent practice has emphasized family preservation programs, rather than splitting-up families. However, they indicated that evidence has accumulated which shows that the intensive family preservation model has failed to protect children. Actually, that was not really its primary goal, since the initiative for the model developed in response to criticisms of Child Protective Services and their removal of children from the homes. The focus of the model, then, was to keep families together, while helping with family crises and protecting the children."

Human Resources Outsourcing, 2007.
This paper is an in-depth literature review to investigate the promises and pitfalls of human resources outsourcing (HRO).
4,790 words (approx. 19.2 pages), 27 sources, APA, $ 122.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that human resources outsourcing (HRO) is a new kind of delivery system for human resource services where companies give up practical ownership of much of the programs once administered in-house in exchange for access to greater expertise in highly specialized fields and lower per employee costs. The author points out that another perceived benefit, which has potentially negative consequences, is that today's firm must be shaped exclusively around the core competencies that add value to its products and services; everything else can be and should be outsourced. The paper warns that, if an outsourcer's only real concern is growing its own business, which by rights should be its overriding consideration, then most of what binds a company and its employees together is not, in the final analysis, always in the client's best interest.

From the Paper
"SLAs not only safeguard the client's interest but also establish protocols for reporting on and resolving disputes and, most importantly of all, encourage continuous quality improvement. Towards this end, careful attention must also be paid to the type of metrics to be measured. The more specific these are, the better for vendor and client. So, for example, SLAs may call for 99% Website uptime, no more than 4 minutes of wait time to speak to call center staff, 100% accuracy in a random sampling of monthly account statements, a mean score of no less than 8 out of 10 on employee satisfaction surveys."
