Organizational ethics is what creates the rule book or guidelines used in medical offices. I was the safety officer at one of our facilities and we had 13 county binders of these rules. Whenever protocol was breached the binder came out. These regulations were put in place to keep the client and all abiding staff safe. Even when these ethics are in place you cannot make an individual follow them. As the safety officer it was my job to hold meetings and go over what was morally and ethically acceptable in the eyes of the county. We would do an open floor discussion and I would take the minutes. We would then follow up the with the head safety officer to go over feedback and situations. Even though Organizational ethics tend to be effective in health care if you are not on the line you really do not know. We conducted these meetings because the standards were coming from the main office. They were not at our live-in site with 105 residents of level 2 and 3 clients. Communication is especially important in organizational ethics especially if it is going to be a standard county regulation. 

Step 1 – Read the Information Below

We have all worked in a group or team at some point in our careers. A team is brought together to achieve a common goal. The team needs to have members who have complementary skills and who are committed to a common purpose to achieve performance goals. However, teams don’t move immediately toward performing, but instead evolve over time. There are five stages of group and team development:

1. Forming: Getting oriented and getting acquainted. High degree of uncertainty as members as they try to figure out who is in charge.
2. Storming: Personalities start to emerge, along with roles and conflicts within the group.
3. Norming: In the third stage conflicts are resolved, relationships developed, harmony and unity surfaces.
4. Performing: The members concentrate on solving problems and completing the assigned task.
5. Adjourning: Members prepare to disband. Some members may be reassigned, terminated from the group or the group is resolved.

Think about a time when you joined a new group—it could be at work, in a family setting or with a social group.

Step 2 – Post a Response

Respond to the following:

• Which of the five stages was the most challenging for the group to work through, and why?
• How might you have helped the group work through that stage differently based upon what you know now about the five stages of group and team development?

Total Rewards Knowledge 8: Culture and Total Rewards

Visit the following website: http://www.wolfmotivation.com/programs/creating-a-culture-of-recognition-total-rewards-recognition-initiative and review the information. After understanding the information, make your case (be specific and relevant) why organizational culture must be considered when developing a winning total rewards system aimed at talent success.

The four key functions of human resource management consist of planning, acquisition, development, and sanction (PADS). Every function plays a crucial role in recruitment, retention, and separation. Planning involves “budget preparation” and “workforce planning” such as “performance management, job analysis, and pay and benefits” (Klinger, Nalbandian, and Llorens 2018, 3). Planning function is “necessary to timely and properly manage the human resource to achieve the organizational needs” (Maharjan 2018). Acquisition denotes recruitment and selection of employees. This function “makes availability of right person in right number at right time at right job” (Maharjan 2018). Development deals with training, performance evaluation, and motivating employees. Development function enables “individuals in organizations to perform current and future jobs through planned learning activities” (HR Software Solutions 2017). Sanction maintains expectations and obligations of employer and employees through rules, regulations, rights, and laws. Sanction function regards “discipline, grievances, health and safety, and employee rights” (Klingner and Sabet n.d., 4). In addition to its roles in recruitment, retention, and separation, all four functions are necessary in pursuit of human capital management, which is the key to maximize productivity in the contemporary human resource management. Another important element which human resource managers must consider is traditional values: political responsiveness and representation, efficiency, employee rights, and social equity. Human resource managers need to ensure that PADS would meet these values. Human resource management “in the United States may be described as a dynamic equilibrium among these competing values, each championed by a particular personnel system, for allocating scarce public jobs in a complex and changing environment” (Klingner and Sabet n.d., 3). The more category of employment diversifies, the more complex human resources management’s consideration of values becomes. Nonetheless, “’public administration’ requires balancing the values in legislative work, implementation, and even in the judicial arena” (Klinger, Nalbandian, and Llorens 2018, 348). PADS are “the core of administrative processes and values” (Klinger, Nalbandian, and Llorens 2018, 350). Further, PADS are imperative in order to create, maintain, and improve a reliable and effective workforce and to achieve human capital management. Therefore, all four functions are equally important.

This is an exercise in evaluating visual/statistical tools.  Statistical analysis and the development of charts and graphs are closely linked in history and practice.  In this exercise, you will develop an understanding of their application and utility.

We’ll start with Florence Nightingale, a pioneer in this field who developed one of the first mathematical models ever used as a graphic presentation.  At that time, this was not an academic exercise for her but an attempt to win influence over funding in an effort to stem the spread of disease for a standing army in the field.  The standard of her day for presenting findings was the written report.  Even ledgers, the early form of spreadsheets were not unknown and given that she was fighting over funding, she could have opted to present her case for budget authority this way as well.   By all accounts, her presentation was very effective and changed the way the military, hospitals and many other organizations developed metrics and other standards of measure when presenting complex data analysis.  Often referenced as Nightingale’s Rose, open up a web page at http://www.economist.com/node/10278643 to review the presentation (the chart is displayed thumbnail size on the right side of the article, right click on it and a drop-down menu appears and then click “view image”.)  You’ll also need to review Minard’s analysis of Napolean’s Russian campaign of 1812 and Playfair’s analysis of the cost of wheat versus wage rates to compare the effectiveness of their methodologies. 

Task 1:  Evaluate the three charts displayed on the web page.  The first is Nightingale’s original, the second is Minard’s chart and the third is Playfair’s chart.  Each contains complex information displayed differently.  Analyze the displays and compare and contrast them as effective displays for conveying the information they contain and on a scale of one to ten tell me how would you rate each and why.  Further, today we have many types of graphics available to us in many of the programs we use routinely, like Excel and Word.  If you had to develop a chart of your own to convey the same information contained in these charts, what type of chart would you develop for each and why (i.e. pie chart, histogram, radar chart, etc.)?

Review the following four problem statements. Select one of the problem statements, and in your initial post, rewrite the problem statement in a clear, concise format as described in Chapter 3 of your textbook.

• Our process for making widgets cannot fulfill the customer order requirements.
• The process for admitting patients takes too long.
• The applications for loans have too many errors.
• Inventory is too high and needs to be minimized.

In your response post, offer critique of your peers’ problem statement rewrites. Offer suggestions for improvement or commentary as to why it is now a well-stated problem statement.

Some projects are best served by engaging in partnerships. There can be many reasons for partnering, but primarily it is because the need or problem requires the involvement of multiple stakeholders. In some cases, a funder may look at organizational capacity and question whether staff has the experience and skills to carry out the project successfully. Other grants, depending on the nature of the RFP description, will specify partnerships. And some projects are simply too complex and wide ranging to even consider within a single organization.

It is important to understand that the time to reach out to potential partners about opportunities to apply for grant funding is when a need is first identified at an organization. Those who reach out to brand new “partners” because they must in order to submit a proposal may find it doesn’t work once the project is implemented. The barriers to successful partnerships can vary from lack of communication to hidden agendas.

Please review the Partnerships: Framework for Working Together Guidebook PDF and consider the potential barriers that can impact the success of a partnership.

For this Discussion, based on your own project idea, consider the potential barriers that could impact the success of your prospective grant partner.

By Day 3 of Week 8

Post a powerpoint reflecting on the following about barriers to successful partnerships:

• What barrier(s) could impact the success of your funding partnership?
• How will you work to overcome the barrier(s)?
• Provide an explanation of the importance of building a relationship between funder and grantee. Describe key elements of this relationship, providing a rationale for your thinking.
• Describe why the grant funder/RFP’s criteria are important and how they can influence the outcomes of the funding process.
• Address both a Memorandum of Understanding and Letters of Agreement that would be necessary.
