Training can be very beneficial for organizations and their employees. In the article, “Do organizations spend wisely on employees? Effects of training and development investment on learning and innovation in organizations” by Sun Young Sung and Jin Nam Choi, development of innovation directly related to the amount of investments on training made by an organization. The study suggested that learning practices may also be a mediating mechanism affecting innovative performance. The climate of an organization may also be linked to an increase in innovation for an organization. 

A conceptual framework was used in this study. Organizational training and investment is the focus of this study. By investing in training, organizations develop a strong, motivated, and capable pool of resources. Organizational learning practices can increase innovative performance for an organization. Organizations have an opportunity to promote and foster this  innovation by offering corporate training to employees. 

The article also examines how organizations offering tuition assistance to employees seeking higher education could potentially have a negative effect overall because it can be seen as favoritisms by other employees. Policies should be put in place to help protect an organization from this potential issue.

Module 03: Training Assignment

The background to this article references a hospital that was observe for 3 years. By the end of the third year, HR department and management were able to track turn over rate and retention rates monthly. The discovered turn over for Registered Nurses (RN), was greater than 19% within the 3 years and 30% within their first year, with a turnover rate of 40% on the medical surgical floor (Maryniak, 2017). Information was collected by means of employee satisfaction surveys and exit interview data to discover the reasons for the turnover which included: poor communication, workload, recognition, and onboarding. The average cost for turn over ranges from $37,700 to $58,400 (Maryniak, 2017).

Once this information was collected, the nurse leaders and HR department came together to create a standardized orientation process that was meant to improve efficiencies of onboarding and orientation in hopes to increase retention of new nurses. The program had new graduate nurses spend 5 weeks in a specialized unit created to stimulate real life. The new nurses completed simulations and online learning. Classes included diabetic management training, critical thinking, practicing assessments, pain management and working on communication. There were also education stations for IV starts and wound care. The individual nurse had to complete the course prior to moving on their new home unit they were hired for. At the end of the first year of the program, it was estimated that the overall cost savings from nurse retention was almost $3 million dollars and the retention rate exceeded 88.8%. Maryniak (2017), illustrates on the med-surg unit nursing retention was 100% in the first year for this department.

I have worked on the med-surg floor at my previous job for several years and I believe the turnover ratio at our hospital was close to this 40%. Med-surg is a hard floor that gets a variety of patient types and loads. However, it is the starting point for most in patient jobs to kind of get your feet wet type unit. I think this new training course could be helpful for certain education tips and tricks but wound care and IV should have been a skill learned in school.

review the slides and respond to the 3 following questions

Direction and Assignment

1. Please review the following video. Brian Johnson discusses an old book that is still popular today. This is a very person-centered book on where wisdom comes from…it’s about developing yourself. It profoundly influenced me as a young girl, and through time, changed the circumstances of my life. Remember what I have said: You can manage your life, or you can lead it. Looking back on my life, I believe I lead it, even when I didn’t realize it. It felt like “barely managing it” at times when I was young. But now I realize that some of the yardsticks I was using to measure myself were invalid. I was just too young and inexperienced to realize that. 

The Search for One’s Personal Best and Its Corporate – and Global Impacts  watch the video – bonus – a fill copy of the book is appended below.

2. Carefully review the following slide deck.

LCBleadership.pptx (1032780)

RESPOND about the strategies selected to implement for smoother termination.

According to Frick (2019) there are some steps that an employer can take to keep terminations both manageable and legally defensible. Describe 2–3 of these steps and suggest strategies the HRM professional might implement within the workplace to make smoother terminations. Provide workplace examples where possible

Plan the meeting – the reason for this is to make sure you are not embarrassing them Infront of everyone at the workplace. Planning the meeting helps to get the information needed and making sure the reason they are being terminated is not biased but based on factual evidence. During this time is finding a place to hold the meeting and having a neutral person such as an HR representative to complete the termination is better because there is no bias. You also want to make sure you treat them with respect and dignity and trying not to make them feel uncomfortable about he whole situation. Some strategies the HRM professional might implement is confidentiality about the termination where no one should be talking about the termination. Having a designated office space  to complete the termination is a great help because you would know ahead of time where to have the meeting and you would not have to be looking for a place every time you have to let someone go.  At my old job you can see in the managers office and you can see who walks in there and leaves and never return without evening asking a question. 

Having the proper paperwork – The reason for this is because you want to make sure that when you are giving the termination papers, they are correct, and you want to make sure that they are getting their last paycheck. This would include vacation, sick time, any hours they accrued when they were working. They also want to make sure that you are including retirement, insurance and any other form of benefits they were receiving. Another thing is to always spell check because and proofread before handing them any form of paperwork. The HR representative can make sure they have spoken to the employee’s manager before time, speak with the company lawyer before giving any type of paperwork to an employee that is being terminated. When they do have to call the employee in make sure someone is there with them and if you need security there with you as well, I would have that available to protect everyone in the room. Not broadcasting what is going on and keeping things confidential is very important.
