Generational differences of Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials regarding their acceptance of feedback and observations were studied in order to determine if different approaches to each were needed in order to effectively implement a Behavior Based Safety program within a specific company.

The results suggest that additional research should be undertaken in order to extrapolate the findings to a larger population.

Even with national standard recommendation of wellness programs, one does not exist in a fire department located in Northern Ohio.
The focus of this research is to explore reasons why these highly recommended wellness programs are not established. Successful establishment of a wellness program requires understanding why this fire department is hesitant or unsuccessful in implementing and maintaining a wellness program.

This study assessed whether education level is a valid predictor of a recruit officers academic performance and will answer if higher education levels give a recruit officer an advantage academically while they are in basic training.
The sample chosen was from recruit classes that attended basic training …
