Case Study

You have been hired into the position of healthcare manager/leader within your organization. Recently, you have received reports that one of the employees has an unwillingness to work and complete her tasks. Violent verbal exchanges have occurred between the employee and her supervisor based on her underperformance in the unit and the organization as an entity. As you are investigating the issue, you find that one of the major issues involved in this situation involves the fact that the employee has not had proper training in the new electronic health records system that the organization has recently started using. As a result, she is not able to complete her work as quickly as her colleagues, which has caused a great deal of frustration on her part. In a paper consisting of at least two pages, answer the following questions: What are the risks involved in confronting the employee regarding her behavior? What methods can be used to correct the employee’s behavior? What risks might be involved when confronting the employee about her behavior? Why is it important to ensure that all employees have the opportunity to keep their job skills up to date? You should utilize at least two sources. Be sure that all outside sources used, including your textbook, are cited and referenced properly using APA formatting.

Assignment 2: Employee Development and Performance 
Due Week 6 and worth 170 points 

Continuing from Assignment 1, you were selected as the new HR director for the retail company and now have been in the position for approximately 6 months. Your approach to strategy, planning, and selection have been quite successful thus far, and now it is time to address the organization’s expectation for performance and development of employees since these components of HR strategy are critical in achieving business outcomes and success. 

Write a five to six (5-6) page paper in which you: 

  • Critically analyze and discuss any researched (web or textbook) training process model you may consider for use in developing employees (here’s an idea:https://educationaltechnology.net/the-addie-model-instructional-design/or exhibit 7-1, page 230 in the text book). Then, identify and discuss some possible challenges that might be faced in implementing a new training process in the company. 
  • List and briefly discuss at least three (3) types or methods of training that can be used for employee training. Of the 3, which would you select to train the retail employees, and why? Be specific. 
  • Differentiate the concept of performance management and performance appraisal with three (3) to four (4) key points. Then, make your case to leadership for or against using annual performance appraisals in the organization. Be specific with your perspective. 
  • Use a minimum of 3 academic quality references at least 1 being the assigned course textbook (required).

Format your assignment according to these formatting requirements: 

  1. Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions. 
  2. Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required page length. 
  3. Include a reference page. Citations and references must follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length. Use the Strayer University Library at https://research.strayer.edu to locate additional sources to support your work. 

Type out what I need to say on the video

·  Create an informative 12-minute video or audio news segment on a contemporary social issue.

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies:

·  Competency 1: Explain the nature of ethical issues. 

o  Explain the selected contemporary issue, with reference to practical instances.

·  Competency 3: Engage in ethical debate. 

o  Describe the relevant contributions to the issue from at least two different academic disciplines.

·  Competency 4: Develop a position on a contemporary ethical issue. 

o  Explain at least two distinct positions on the issue.

o  Defend one’s personal ethical position on the issue.

·  Competency 5: Communicate effectively in the context of personal and professional moral discourse. 

o  Create a video or audio presentation that reports on a contemporary social issue from multiple perspectives

·  Making responsible decisions about major public issues is more complex than a direct application of theory. One source of this complexity is the value of looking at the issue through a variety of disciplinary modes of inquiry:

·  Psychology and sociology inform our views of individual and collective behavior.

·  Mathematics and the sciences remind us that human life is part of a larger world.

·  Literature and mythology encourage us to remember the power of good and evil.

·  Medicine points out that what we do affects the health of our bodies.

·  Communication and information technology help us learn to talk to each other.

Once again, your instructor has selected a few big issues that need to be considered from more than one of these disciplinary lenses. Learning how to integrate knowledge from multiple fields is a vital transferable skill for practical life.

Another source of complexity in dealing with a major issue is that there are many alternative solutions to think about. Intellectual honesty demands that we think critically about all of them.

·  Be sure to describe and examine each alternative position fairly: 

o  Do not set up a simplistic version that will be easy to demolish rhetorically.

o  Taking each opponent’s view seriously clarifies our own convictions.

·  Apply critical thinking skills to the position you are defending, too: 

o  Think about what objections someone else might make to your view.

o  Try to show clearly and honestly why you take this position.

Think of your thought on this issue as a chance to practice your skills for engaging in productive moral discourse from multiple points of view.

You have seen how difficult it is to work through a complex public issue by integrating disciplinary insights, debating alternatives, and defending your own position. Now, what are you going to do about it? Perhaps, there is another grand issue about which you care deeply, and the skills you’ve practiced here will work well in dealing with the complexity of that issue as well. The question remains, what will you actually do?

Take a moment to reflect upon what you have learned here. What matters is not some set of facts you have memorized—you can always look up that stuff whenever you want. What does matter is what you can do—identify reliable sources, think critically about issues, engage in productive discourse, defend your positions well, and communicate effectively and creatively.

Like many of the elements of a liberal arts education, these skills are transferable to other aspects of personal, social, and professional life. Learning and growth don’t stop at the end of a course or the completion of a program: they become life-long habits for achievement and success.

·  Questions to Consider 

As you think about the theme “dealing with complexity,” consider addressing the following questions:

·  Which disciplinary lenses will you apply to your issue, and what resources have you found?

·  Which of the alternative positions do you find more compelling, and why?

·  What concrete actions will you now take to implement your own solution for the problem?

·  How has our work together in this course changed the way you deal with ethical issues every day?

·  Assessment Overview

As the producer and correspondent of a television or radio news magazine (like 60 Minutes, VICE News, or All Things Considered), you have been assigned to deliver an informative 12-minute segment on one of the contemporary issues being covered in this course. Corporate policy requires that you consider insights from two or more academic disciplines for example: nursing and social work, or philosophical ethics, psychology, and biology. (Note: These are only examples; you are free to choose your own disciplines!) It also requires that you interview credible representatives of at least two distinct positions on the issue. You need not remain neutral on the issue; in fact, you are expected to state and defend your own position with clear reasoning in your own words.

You will choose which of the complex social issues to present here. The intended audience for your segment is an intelligent but perhaps uninformed public, so this is your opportunity to engage them in an issue that matters to you.

Assessment Instructions

The final script for your production should, of course, include APA-style citations and references. 

You may submit the assessment itself in either of two formats:

1.  Option One: Produce the video segment. You should appear as the correspondent, but you may enlist family and friends to play other parts. You might even take on distinct roles yourself, in a video “selfie” where you consider the alternatives accurately. Kaltura is recommended, but you may use any device or software of your choice, so long as you are able to submit the work to your instructor for assessment.

2.  Option Two: Produce the audio segment as you would for broadcast as a radio program or as a podcast. Once again, you will be the correspondent, but you are welcome to invite others to participate or record yourself in different roles. As with the video option, you may record the audio in any way that suits you, making sure to submit the audio file or a link to it as the submission for assessment.

Include the following concepts in this assessment:

3.  Explain the selected issue you selected, with reference to practical instances.

4.  Describe relevant contributions to the issue from at least two different academic disciplines.

5.  Explain at least two distinct positions on the issue, considering each fairly.

6.  Defend your own position on the issue clearly.

Submit this assessment to your ePortfolio. 

Your instructor may provide video feedback on your work, as well as completing the official scoring guide for the assessment.
