Journey Health is an industry leader in medical testing, touching a large portion of Americans each year. To maintain this position, the company makes strategic investments in R&D, business development, and continuous operations improvement. The company faces dual challenges in resource allocation nationwide due to high rates of turnover among first-year employees, specifically in Specimen Processing, as well as electric utility bills that, across the company, cost tens of millions of dollars per year and continue to increase as business grows. Each turn of an employee costs an estimated $7,500, accounting for recruiting, training, and productivity losses. The aim of this research is twofold: 1) to examine the causes of employee turnover and leverage the Good Jobs Strategy to develop a solution and 2) to examine the viability of on-site solar generation as a means of cost improvements and other ancillary benefits including the safety and convenience of covered parking. Nationwide first-year turnover among Specimen Processing Technicians (SPTs) at Journey laboratories averages 50%. Primary reasons for employee attrition included lack of engagement and competing opportunities. The Good Jobs Strategy is a combination of investment in people with four operational choices that leverage that investment by increasing productivity, contribution and motivation of employees and by driving continuous improvement. These choices are: standardize and empower, cross-train, operate with slack, and focus and simplify. I conducted phone interviews and in-person observations with ten Journey locations. Within the framework of the Good Jobs Strategy, I developed a set of recommendations that includes clearly defining job descriptions, increasing opportunities for employees to build rewarding careers, empowering employees to feel engaged and motivated on the job, and aligning interests across both Specimen Management and Logistics in frontline operations. I also find that the current state of knowledge-sharing across Journey locations can be improved, and that changes to management perceptions of frontline employees is critical for the Good Jobs Strategy to succeed in the long-term. As an additional initiative, I evaluated the potential for on-site solar generation to be a value-added opportunity at Journey in Westborough, Massachusetts. I estimated that solar production can offset approximately 40-50% of utility consumption and find broad support among employees due to the benefits of having covered parking where the solar panels are installed in the form of carport solar, elevated panels above the parking lots I also estimate that the project has a net present value (NPV) up to $4.9M in Westborough with the internal rate of return (IRR) up to of 12%. I conducted a sensitivity analysis on the input parameters and found a significant influence of precipitation on system output, with less influence by variation in vegetation height and performance of the solar modules themselves. I find that NPV and IRR may vary significantly, from $3.5-$8.0M and 6% to 19%, depending on installation costs and system output. Critically, I find that a regulatory framework is necessary to require utilities to allow grid connections from distributed solar generation. Also, I find non-technical and nonfinancial factors that drive decision-making, including willingness to make capital investments, leased-versus-owned status of property, and familiarity with solar electricity and utility markets. I found that a clear reframing the discussion in terms more understandable to the client is particularly useful, such as considering the project separate from solar energy, but more as constructing covered parking for employees, yet being paid to do so. I conclude that on-site solar generation has significant financial benefits for Journey. Although the estimated payback period of four to ten years is longer than Journey's typical capital investment payback, solar offers a low-risk form of investment. Alternate installation models may be investigated, including a leased model, which would require no upfront capital investment by Journey.

This thesis claims to develop alternative energy-harvesting systems by looking at their implementation at the residential scale in order to facilitate the economical autonomy of a community and thus improve its living conditions. It can be said that the evolution of the farming tools brought an opportunity of emancipation to farmers -- greater production yields than what was necessary to subsist were sold on markets thus increasing the economical power of the farmer and conceptually stretching the domestic space to the field owned. Taking the hurricane-devastated, slow-recovering New Orleans as a site for intervention, the thesis will challenge existing building materials for their flood resistance and reaction to an inundated environment while developing tools to harvest energy from the multiple environmental conditions present at this location. Ultimately, the thesis will try to demonstrate how these tools will influence geography and the concept of property. Six years after the devastation of hurricane Katrina, New Orleans is still struggling to gain economical growth solely depending on tourism and oil-related businesses. Louisiana's offshore oil industry benefits from an exemption of state taxation, creating an unbalanced economical and ecological situation. Louisiana's oil is being drilled without Louisiana receiving any monetary compensation, and the bayou's biodiversity is being devastated from reoccurring oil spills along with the dredging of the sediments at the bottom of the Mississippi river to facilitate the movement of tankers and protect settlements along the river's edge. New Orleans' population currently relies on the Army Corps of Engineers' infrastructure and a colonized oil industry to survive, while it could insure its own protection against natural disasters by regaining stewardship over land and water, and by competing with the oil industry through the creation of an alternate energy market. Through the investigation of newly developed materials and energy systems created for industrial uses, and by understanding their potential in the domestic realm, this thesis will seek to create new techniques of harvesting energy which will respond to the different climatic and topographical conditions present in New Orleans; the strong winds, the variations in tides, the current velocity of the Mississippi River and the potential of the bayou's biodiversity. Moreover, it hopes to generate new methods of residential constructions and typology, adapted to different disaster threat level conditions particular to the area, and potentially reorganize the domestic realm according to its new added functions. Recognizing the possibility of another flood in New Orleans and understanding the effect of the Army Corps of Engineer's flood prevention devices on the bayou's ecosystem, the thesis's methodology will require a thorough analysis of existing hydrological methods of flood protection and water based harvest, hydro-morphological and geomorphological patterns, creating a catalog of tools from which one may start speculating in the design phase. An analysis of selected urban and architectural precedents will be useful to assess the potential of each tool and its particular repercussions on the landscape and the organization of the greater urban form. Further analysis will be devoted to energy producing and harvesting devices, procuring the thesis with insights of their impact on existing infrastructure and their potential at the residential scale for both energy performance and architectural adaptation. The content of this research will be continuously tested. Other important implementation strategies, land organization and transformation will be investigated through different scales of physical models, constantly informing the specificity of the design to its physical and ecological environment.

In Palestine they are not a choice but a necessity for sustainable development. But by their nature SMEs are vulnerable in a business environment characterized by uncertainty. To give the managers of SMEs in Palestine a realistic chance of success they need training to enable them to meet the challenge of running their enterprises effectively. Drawing on original research undertaken within Palestine this book explores how the challenge is being met (and considers how it might be even more successfully met) by enabling and empowering the owners and managers of these pioneering businesses.

Full textThis thesis is based on material gathered during a field study in rural Sri Lanka, a Minor Field Study, (MFS) during April-May 2007. The core of the thesis deals with conceptualisations of empowerment and how they can be interpreted contextually from the perspectives of motherhood. The interplay of gender discourses with structural dimensions are analysed to see how these work to uphold ideals whilst posing contrary demands on mothers. Part of the focus has thus been to look at how discourses are adhered, aligned and adjusted to in various ways as strategies for survival in the context of poverty and marginalisation. The way social constructions perpetuate asymmetrical power relations as natural and normative is also discussed since this is central to how gender discourses are produced, upheld and reproduced. This study initiates in the every day experiences of mothers living in absolute poverty. Through narratives and participatory observations of their daily experiences contextual discourses, structural dimensions and agency are analysed. Their experiences are viewed as interconnected with the wider perspectives of political, economic and social conditions locally and globally. Analysis of these experiences against contextual discourses and structural implications attempts to identify possibilities and potential for empowerment. By raising central issues to the mothers regarding segregation, marginalisation and vulnerability, a more contextual understanding of how empowerment is constrained and facilitated is hopefully achieved. Furthermore, how women in this study respond and relate to these issues and whether empowering experiences can be traced even where overt challenges are absent. Finally, the thesis addresses the complexity of carrying out a study of this kind, where the prerogative to define and conceptualise lies with the researcher, the beholder, representing through this very role inequity in the division of power and privilege.
