Topic 1: Chapter 9: “Case Study – Performance Review”

The performance review program at Valley Urgent Care was developed some years ago and has generally served the organization well. The supervisors took the responsibility to conduct timely, meaningful reviews very seriously. The review process consisted of ratings on the following skills and competencies:

• Customer service

• Clinical abilities

• Communications with patients and fellow employees

• Attendance

• Work attitude

However, the employees and supervisors have commented that the review process lacked relevance and was in need of updating. They indicated that there were not enough evaluation categories to adequately evaluate the complexity and variety of jobs at Valley Urgent Care. Additional categories that were suggested included computer skills, compliance with HIPAA, willingness to take on additional duties, and leadership.

In addition to answering the questions within the presentation, that are embedded within the slides, please respond to the following:

1. Can you identify with any of the reasons for resisting change, listed on the final slide? Have you ever resisted change in your own workplace, or in the university environment?

2. Generally, what can managers/leaders do to make difficult change easier?

and here are the lovely slides:

Earlier in the course, you explored how organizations plan for population needs and necessary services by implementing needs assessment surveys. Organizations and their funders want to know that program planning is done in an efficient and fiscally responsible way. Once programs are in place and services are being rendered, they also want to know that programs are progressing toward their goals and are making positive differences in the lives of their communities (and more specifically, the population receiving program services). To do this, organizations engage in program evaluation.

There are three main types of program evaluation: outcome-focused, empowerment, and outcome-focused empowerment. In outcome-focused evaluation, criteria for program success is set and evaluated by persons outside the direct program staff. Empowerment evaluation allows program staff to set and measure their own evaluation terms, and outcome-focused empowerment is a combination of the two. Each type of evaluation has its own benefits and limitations, and is more or less appropriate for various evaluation situations.

In this Discussion, you will conduct research on program evaluation and evaluate the evaluation approaches found in those articles. 

To Prepare

Using the Walden Library, locate and select a journal article published within the last 5 years that applies one of the three program evaluation approaches to a human or social services program. Consider why this type was selected and the benefits and challenges to implementing it in this particular situation.

By Day 3

Post a brief description of the program being evaluated in the article you selected. Explain which evaluation approach was used in the evaluation and why it was appropriate for the task. Finally, explain benefits and challenges to applying this type of evaluation to the program in question. Be specific and provide examples.

What does “white anti-racist” mean? How can guilt get in the way? And what’s all this talk about being “colorblind”? Teaching Tolerance asked community activists to share their thoughts on these questions, and others. Their answers shine light on the concepts of comfort, power, privilege and identity.

Read the following panel discussion on race and social justice, and then address the following discussion questions.

1.  Guilt and white privilege, these activists say, can sometimes get in the way of white people being effective allies in the struggle against racism. What qualities or actions can help white people be effective allies?

2.  The activists all reject the idea of “colorblindness.” Many people contribute the “goal” of colorblindness to a quote from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: “I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” Was Dr. King advocating that people ignore color? Ignore racism? Why?

This e-portfolio assessment is designed to be used as both a learning tool and as a professional portfolio that you can include in your resume or applications for jobs. You want to begin developing your portfolio ideas during Week 3, even though it is not due until Week 8. In this assignment you are asked to choose any three of the four HRMN 302 course outcomes and reflect on your learning in our class.

There are two distinct parts to this assignment. The first is your reflective ideas about your learning for three of the four course goals. The second is the actual creation of the E-portfolio on the Google Site. There is a partially completed portfolio provided for you at the very end of these instructions.

For directions on how to create an E-portfolio/Google Site go to url https://goo.gl/pIMkbu

The four course outcomes for HRMN 302 are:

1. Apply appropriate communication media and methods to various situational needs in organizational settings.
2. Apply communication theories to organizational communication challenges.
3. Recognize and respond constructively to cultural differences in communication.
4. Analyze and assess the communication dynamics of an organization through the completion of a communication audit.

Once your portfolio site is created, follow the specific instructions below. 

Begin with an Introduction page, develop at least one page for each of the three outcomes you’ve selected. Be sure to include a Reference page at the end. 

You will have a minimum of 5 pages. 

On each outcome page:

• Provide the specific course outcome you’ve selected.
• Explain in your own words and 1-2 paragraphs how each outcome relates to what you have learned in class.
• Post one artifact for each outcome (video, paper, chart, or any type of file you wish to use) and that demonstrates your mastery of each outcome. NOTE: the artifacts do not have to be newly created. You can use work you’ve developed previously.
• Explain, in detailed sentences and approx. 2-3 paragraphs how each artifact relates to the course outcome.

Here is an example of a partially completed portfolio:

 Now that you have considered how to recruit and retain the employees you want in your organization, create a compensation and benefits package 

The package must be consistent with the objectives of job satisfaction for the valuable employees in an organization of your design.

Include the following:

• Salaries and benefits packages of comparable organizations in the same industry.
• What employees working in the 21st century consider to be benefits (see this week’s recommended readings for a start).
• What helps to keep employees engaged in their work 

 Your business proposal must be formatted according to APA style  

 must include a separate reference page, and must include citations from the text and at least four scholarly sources,  

For the case study, we will focus on the importance of safety and all parties helping to make safety a priority. The effectiveness of the safety training will depend on how prepared the participants are for the training and their perception of the training.

Review “Case: Safety First” located in the textbook on pages 199-200, and respond to the prompts below. You are not required to answer the questions at the end of the case study in the textbook.

1. Examine the components of an effective training needs analysis for this scenario. What would the basic parts for a successful training program be?
2. Describe how the training should be delivered, and briefly describe one motivational theory from those listed on pages 163–173 in the textbook and how it supports this type of training to enhance an organization’s performance.

Your case study should be at least two pages in length. You are not required to use APA style for this assignment; however, your writing should be clear and concise.
