Overviewthis Notebook Will Show You How To Create And Query A Table O ✓ Solved

Overview This notebook will show you how to create and query a table or DataFrame that you uploaded to DBFS. DBFS is a Databricks File System that allows you to store data for querying inside of Databricks. This notebook assumes that you have a file already inside of DBFS that you would like to read from. This notebook is written in Python so the default cell type is Python. However, you can use different languages by using the %LANGUAGE syntax.

Python, Scala, SQL, and R are all supported. In [2]: # File location and type file_location = "/FileStore/tables/users.csv" file_type = "csv" # CSV options infer_schema = "false" first_row_is_header = "true" delimiter = "," # The applied options are for CSV files. For other file types, these will be ignored. df = spark.read.format(file_type) \ .option("inferSchema", infer_schema) \ .option("header", first_row_is_header) \ .option("sep", delimiter) \ .load(file_location) display(df) In [3]: # Create a view or table temp_table_name = "users_csv" df.createOrReplaceTempView(temp_table_name) In [4]: %sql /* Query the created temp table in a SQL cell */ select * from `users_csv` LIMIT 5 In [5]: # With this registered as a temp view, it will only be available to this particular noteboo k.

If you'd like other users to be able to query this table, you can also create a table fro m the DataFrame. # Once saved, this table will persist across cluster restarts as well as allow various users across different notebooks to query this data. # To do so, choose your table name and uncomment the bottom line. permanent_table_name = "users_csv" # df.write.format("parquet").saveAsTable(permanent_table_name) In [6]: %sql /* Users created and activated */ SELECT DATE_TRUNC('day',created_at) AS day, COUNT(*) AS all_users, COUNT(CASE WHEN activated_at IS NOT NULL THEN u.user_id ELSE NULL END) AS activated_ users FROM `users_csv` u WHERE created_at >= '' AND created_at < '' GROUP BY 1 ORDER BY 1 In [7]: %sql /* Users created and NOT activated */ SELECT DATE_TRUNC('day',created_at) AS day, COUNT(*) AS all_users, COUNT(CASE WHEN activated_at IS NULL THEN u.user_id ELSE NULL END) AS not_activated_ users FROM `users_csv` u WHERE created_at >= '' AND created_at < '' GROUP BY 1 ORDER BY 1 user_id created_at company_id language activated_at state 0.:59:.0 english :01:07 active 1.:07:46 28.0 english null pending 2.:59:05 51.0 english null pending 3.:40:.0 german :42:02 active 4.:37:.0 indian :39:05 active 5.:39:.0 spanish null pending 6.:37:.0 english :38:45 active 7.:19:.0 french :20:28 active 8.:38:.0 french :40:10 active 9.:04:17 1.0 french null pending :36: arabic null pending user_id created_at company_id language activated_at state 0.:59:.0 english :01:07 active 1.:07:46 28.0 english null pending 2.:59:05 51.0 english null pending 3.:40:.0 german :42:02 active 4.:37:.0 indian :39:05 active day all_users activated_users T00:00:00.000T00:00:00.000T00:00:00.000T00:00:00.000T00:00:00.000T00:00:00.000T00:00:00.000T00:00:00.000T00:00:00.000T00:00:00.000T00:00:00 000 day all_users not_activated_users T00:00:00.000T00:00:00.000T00:00:00.000T00:00:00.000T00:00:00.000T00:00:00.000T00:00:00.000T00:00:00.000T00:00:00.000 Hospitality Business Strategy Human Resources, COVID-19, and the Hospitality Industry Professional Recommendation Criteria: Paper/discussion - approximately 2 pages, Ariel 11, double spaced (25 pts.) Annotated bibliography – minimum of 6 resources/references, length as necessary (25 pts.) Preface Strategic human resources/human resources play an important role in establishing and implementing an organization’s policies, practices and resources necessary to ensure the health, safety, and well being of its employees and its customers/clients/guests.

Amid the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, the hospitality industry is particularly vulnerable to impact from responses (and reactions) to the virus worldwide. Therefore, the role of strategic human resources is critical to any hospitality organization’s ability to sustain during this period of uncertainty. You don’t have to look far to find news sources (real or fake), social media posts (reliable or unreliable), etc.; factual dialogue v. false narratives are all around us. How do we make sense of it all? Where do we look to find accurate, useful, practical information and advice?

Human resource professionals often turn to their professional society, the Society for Human Resource Management, for timely information and guidance. (We’ve referred to this in class). Below, I provide several links published in the Society for Human Resource Management’s newsletter. I also have provided .pdf versions of some articles provided by the Society. These sources (links and articles) address concerns, challenges, and best practices related to HR and COVID-19. The purpose of this assignment is to engage our thoughts in this historical moment within the context of Human Resources, COVID-19, and the Hospitality Industry.

Please read on for assignment details. I look forward to reading your papers. Instructions Please review the links below and articles provided In D2L: HB 489 – Content – Module: HR, COVID-19 and Hospitality. In addition to these articles, research additional resources/reference for inclusion in your paper. Your paper should include a minimum 6 resources/references.

A minimum of three (3) resources/references must come from you own research. Your paper should synthesize information in the articles you review (those provided AND those you research) and address such questions as: What is the impact of COVID-19 (coronavirus) on the hospitality industry? What are some examples of specific hospitality companies or industry segments (hotels, restaurants, industry segments, etc.)? How have they responded? What do they anticipate and/or what are their plans moving forward?

What does the Society for Human Resource Management recommend? What would YOU recommend as an HR professional to your hospitality company (be clear about what type of company, i.e., hotel, restaurant; cruise line; casino; etc.)? For example, what workplace issues have presented related to COVID-19? What immediate steps should HR take to address these concerns? Give specific examples.

What would YOU recommend as an HR professional to your hospitality company moving forward (think critically; think strategically)? What long-term “best practices†or “solutions†would you recommend? Explain how your recommendations provide HR value to your company. Be specific. DO CITE YOUR SOURCES IN YOUR TEXT AND INCLUDE AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY per instructions above.

What is an annotated bibliography ? you ask. An annotated bibliography includes a summary… of each of the sources [listed in your bibliography.] Summarize the source : What are the main arguments? What is the point of this book or article? What topics are covered? If someone asked what this article/book is about, what would you say?

The length of your annotations will determine how detailed your summary is.

The purpose of mini projects in this class is to provide an opportunity for students to practice applying their technical knowledge to support organizational decisions. An important aspect of these projects is that simulated real-life scenarios and realistic (though fictitious) data are used in the projects. The Company : eLinks is an enterprise networking company that provides a platform for organizations to communicate and collaborate. Many companies in diverse areas of business including, for example, manufacturers, producers, suppliers, retailers, transportation, and others use eLinks . Basic membership of eLinks is free though the company provides many other value-added services at modest cost upfront or through annual subscription. eLinks has a Data Analytics (DA) department, whose primary responsibility is to support better product and business decisions using data.

The DA teams conduct studies, carry out projects to address specific business problems, and perform ad-hoc analyses to support business decisions. The Problem at Hand : The management of eLinks has noticed that user engagement with the company’s platform appears to have dropped in the most recent days. The management is unsure whether this is actually the case, and if so, what possible reasons for drop in user activity may be. The DA has been asked to look into this issue and advise the management team. The Data USERS Table user_id: A unique ID per user.

Can be joined to user_id in either of the other tables. created_at: The time the user was created (first signed up) state: The state of the user (active or pending) activated_at: The time the user was activated, if they are active company_id: The ID of the user's company language: The chosen language of the user EVENTS Table user_id: The ID of the user logging the event. Can be joined to user\_id in either of the other tables. occurred_at: The time the event occurred. event_type: The general event type. There are two values in this dataset: "signup_flow", which refers to anything occuring during the process of a user's authentication, and "engagement", which refers to general product usage after the user has signed up for the first time. event_name: The specific action the user took.

Possible values include: create_user: User is added to Yammer's database during signup process enter_email: User begins the signup process by entering her email address enter_info: User enters her name and personal information during signup process complete_signup: User completes the entire signup/authentication process home_page: User loads the home page like_message: User likes another user's message login: User logs into Yammer search_autocomplete: User selects a search result from the autocomplete list search_run: User runs a search query and is taken to the search results page search_click_result_X: User clicks search result X on the results page, where X is a number from 1 through 10. send_message: User posts a message view_inbox: User views messages in her inbox location: The country from which the event was logged (collected through IP address). device: The type of device used to log the event.

Emails Table user_id: The ID of the user to whom the event relates. Can be joined to user_id in either of the other tables. occurred_at: The time the event occurred. action: The name of the event that occurred. "sent_weekly_digest" means that the user was delivered a digest email showing relevant conversations from the previous day. "email_open" means that the user opened the email. "email_clickthrough" means that the user clicked a link in the email.

Understanding the Problem : eLinks defines user activity as an engagement with its online portal, i.e., the customers (users) having made some type of server call by interacting with the company’s website/web server. Such events are listed as “engagement†in the event_type column of the EVENTS table. Your Task: Please do necessary analyses using SQL to address the following: (1) Has actually user activity or engagement dropped recently and if so, how serious or significant is it? (2) Think about possible reasons (at least three) for drop in activity, i.e., develop some hypotheses that you can later test if/as necessary in a future analysis. Investigate each of these potential reasons by conducting analysis using the relevant data , writing SQL queries, and generating related visualizations .

Your Recommendations: What are your findings regarding whether drop in user activity is significant or no. What seems like the most likely cause of the drop in engagement? Additional (optional) questions some of which you might want to include in your report : If there are questions that you can't answer using data alone, how would you go about answering them (hypothetically, assuming you actually worked at this company)? What, if anything, should the company do in response? Do the answers to any of your original hypotheses lead you to further questions?

If so, what are they and how will you test them? Deliverables: It is recommended that you should please use the Databricks platform where you should create a Python notebook. In the notebook, you should use code cells for the SQL queries, and markdown cells to describe your findings, interpretations, and recommendations. You can also necessary charts within the notebook as well. Here’s a link to a cheat sheet for markdown: Another link: Please publish your notebook in Databricks and submit the link to the notebook. (To make sure that the link is correct and it works, use that link after closing logging off your Databricks account and closing the browser.)

Human Resource Management in the Hospitality Industry During COVID-19

Introduction

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected multiple sectors across the globe, with the hospitality industry being one of the hardest hit. Strategic human resource (HR) management has become crucial in navigating this challenging landscape. The pandemic has necessitated creative and innovative HR policies that prioritize employee health and safety, while also addressing broader business continuity concerns.
This paper highlights the impact of the pandemic on the hospitality industry, explores how organizations within this sector have adapted to the changing environment, and discusses how human resource management provides organizational value during such tumultuous times. The recommendations presented will focus on both immediate and long-term strategies that HR professionals can implement to better support their organizations.

Impact on the Hospitality Industry

The hospitality sector, which includes hotels, restaurants, cafes, and travel services, has experienced a dramatic decline in business as global travel restrictions and social distancing mandates were enacted (Sharma et al., 2021). According to the World Travel & Tourism Council, the industry saw a loss of approximately .5 trillion in 2020 (WTTC, 2021). Hotels faced unprecedented occupancy drops, and many restaurants and establishments struggled to maintain profitability as they adapted to restrictions on in-person dining (Sigala, 2020).
In particular, companies like Marriott International and Hilton Worldwide implemented temporary furloughs and layoffs to manage financial pressure (Baker et al., 2021). The sudden shift to remote work, coupled with a focus on health and safety, precipitated the need for hospitality businesses to reevaluate their HR practices and adapt quickly.

Organizational Response

Hospitality organizations have responded in several ways to cope with the pandemic's impact. For instance, many organizations transitioned to embracing flexible work arrangements, where remote work became commonplace (Baker et al., 2021). Safety protocols, including enhanced cleaning measures, temperature checks, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), were introduced to ensure employee and guest safety.
Training programs have also been instituted to better equip managers and staff in adapting to new operational requirements and customer expectations (Sigala, 2020). For example, online training modules about health protocols became prevalent as staff needed to be knowledgeable about safety procedures.
Moreover, organizations began leveraging technology to maintain service delivery despite the challenges. Digital menus, contactless payments, and online booking platforms gained prominence in the hospitality space (Kasavana, 2020). Companies that invested in technology found ways to keep their operations afloat amid diminished physical contact and social interaction.

Recommendations from the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM)

The Society for Human Resource Management recommends several practices for organizations to navigate the complexities brought on by COVID-19:
1. Health & Safety Compliance: Organizations should closely monitor guidelines from health authorities and ensure compliance with safety measures (SHRM, 2021).
2. Clear Communication: Consistent and transparent communication is necessary to keep employees informed about organizational changes. HR should provide resources that communicate safety protocols as well as staff welfare measures in clear terms (SHRM, 2021).
3. Employee Well-being Programs: Offering mental health support services and employee assistance programs can help staff cope with the stresses of the pandemic (SHRM, 2021).

Recommendations for HR Professionals in Hospitality

As an HR professional within the hospitality industry, I would recommend the following practices:

Immediate Steps

1. Develop a Comprehensive Health and Safety Policy: Create guidelines that include sanitation measures, social distancing protocols, and procedures for dealing with suspected cases of COVID-19. Regular staff training sessions should be held to ensure everyone is knowledgeable regarding the protocols in place.
2. Focus on Employee Engagement: Initiatives that promote employee well-being, such as wellness programs and regular check-ins, will maintain morale (Zhang et al., 2020). This could include virtual team-building activities that help employees feel connected despite the physical distancing.
3. Implement Flexible Scheduling: Given the unpredictability of customer demand, creating flexible work schedules can help to manage staffing levels efficiently. This would allow staff to work in rotations and ensure that operations can continue without overburdening any single individual.

Long-term "Best Practices"

1. Invest in Technology and Digital Infrastructure: As remote platforms have showcased their effectiveness, I would recommend continuing to invest in technology to facilitate online bookings, virtual check-ins, and digital customer service channels.
2. Create a Crisis Management Plan: Having a well-defined crisis response plan will strengthen the resilience of hospitality organizations. By identifying potential scenarios and preparing adaptive strategies, organizations can better cope with unforeseen challenges in the future.
3. Continuous Training: Regular training and development programs for employees to enhance both hard skills and soft skills will cultivate a skilled, adaptable workforce that can respond to evolving challenges (Baker et al., 2021).

Conclusion

In conclusion, the COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted the hospitality industry, prompting the need for strategic human resource interventions. Organizations that proactively adapted to changes in operations and maintained employee engagement have demonstrated resilience despite unprecedented challenges. Moving forward, implementing the recommended practices can provide long-term value, enhancing organizational stability and cultivating a responsive workforce capable of weathering future storms.
