Among the many challenges managers face is providing accurate, timely, and effective feedback to employees. As a manager, how will you ensure you are giving employees the feedback they need to be successful on the job, while still carrying out the strategic plans of the organization? You are a district manager who manages 25 employees in South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. You try to see your managers once a month, but when there are issues you constantly have to change your plans. Please respond to the following questions:

  • How will you connect with your managers when you don’t see them on a daily basis?
  • How do you monitor performance and give feedback both positive and negative?

How can we use technology and legislation to prevent workplace discrimination?

To help prevent workplace discrimination from the start, at the application stage, we can use technology and legislation to mandate the use of anonymous C.V. or resume submission. “A procedural rule mandating an anonymous application process offers a good balance between an employee’s right to private life before hiring and the prerogative of the employer to freely select employees” (Katsabian, 2019).  We can also use technology and legislation to prevent workplace discrimination by making sure that our electronic application is only asking for job relevant data and is complainant with legislation such as the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act. 

How should the HR professional approach privacy issues in the workplace?

An HR professional should work with leadership to develop clear expectations and policies for privacy issues.  For example, an e-mail policy for e-mails sent from employer work devices.  It is important that these are clear for both the employees and leadership and to provide regular training to maintain awareness.  An HR should also help leadership think “about the implications of having and storing electronic data about your workers” (Schifter, 2019), such as a data breach. 

Why are clear expectations important?

Clear expectation allows for individuals to “adjust their behavior in the workplace and outside of it, online and offline” (Katsabian, 2019) before as issue arises.  It also gives leadership direction on how to consistently handle violations and to know what employee information is protected. “Organizations have legitimate reasons for wanting to keep tabs on employee data, but employees also want some measure of protection from prying eyes. Evolving expectations on both sides are changing where employees, and their employers, draw the line” (Sheth, Wasti, & Smith, 2016).  By having clear expectations applicants can decide if they are willing to work with in a company’s privacy expectations or if they would prefer to work for a different organization that aligns better with their personal expectations. 

What added considerations might HR have in the health care field?

HR will also need to make sure that HIPPA is considered in their privacy policies.

I believe the initiative the Healthy People 2020 have consistently benefited the general public from several points of view. The first is the way that they permit to bring issues to light for many people. It tries to connect individuals with different social orders and social spaces together as a single element and get together. It shows us the different philosophies that we could follow to remain fit and healthy. It also raises worry about the possible risk that will bypass us in a long run on the off chance that we do not repair our approaches as well as could be expecting and understanding. It has been promoting these projects to be carried out more regularly, and its goal is to make the public aware of possible danger and preventive measures.
