discussion question

discussion question

In your initial discussion post this week present an argument that proposes one change to our electoral system. (Please note, it will not be acceptable to say you do not think any change should be made.)

Several possible changes to could be:

  • Eliminating the Electoral College
  • Instituting required Voter ID
  • Allowing felons to vote.
  • Mandatory voting.
  • Instituting an Election Day Holiday in which all Americans do not have to vote.
  • You may also get creative and come up with your own original change!

Just be sure to go beyond just stating what change you want to make, but present an argument for why we should make that change and how that change would improve our electoral system.

In your argument, do not use words like “fair” or “good” or “better” or “equal” – how do you measure what is or is not “fair”? What if you and I have different definitions of what is or is not fair (these are not universal terms)?

Livingston County Michigan

 

Defining the Community

Your community can be any geographically defined county, city, or town. Clearly delineate the following dimensions before starting the process of community assessment:

  • Describe the population that is being assessed?
  • What is/are the race(s) of this population within the community?
  • Are there boundaries of this group? If so, what are they?
  • Does this community exist within a certain city or county?
  • Are there general characteristics that separate this group from others?
  • Education levels, birth/death rates, age of deaths, insured/uninsured?
  • Where is this group located geographically…? Urban/rural?
  • Why is a community assessment being performed? What purpose will it serve?
  • How will information for the community assessment be collected?

Assessment

After the community has been defined, the next phase is assessment. The following items describe several resources and methods that can be used to gather and generate data. These items serve as a starting point for data collection. This is not an all-inclusive list of resources and methods that may be used when a community assessment is conducted.

The time frame for completion of the assessment may influence which methods are used. Nonetheless, these items should be reviewed to determine what information will be useful to collect about the community that is being assessed. It is not necessary to use all of these resources and methods; however, use of a variety of methods is helpful when one is exploring the needs of a community.

Data Gathering (collecting information that already exists)

Demographics of the Community

  • When demographic data are collected, it is useful to collect data from a variety of levels so comparisons can be made.
  • If the population that is being assessed is located within a specific setting, it may be best to contact that agency to retrieve specific information about that population.
  • The following resources provide a broad overview of the demographics of a city, county, or state:
  • State and County Quick Facts—Easy access to facts about population, housing, economics, geographic data, business, based on U.S. Census data
  • Obtain information about a specific city or county on these useful websites www.epodunk.com and www.city-data.com

Information from Government Agencies

  • Healthy People 2020—this resource is published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It identifies health improvement goals and objectives for the country to be reached by the year 2020
  • National Center for Health Statistics—this agency is part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; this website provides statistical information about the health of Americans
  • Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)—The CDC website contains a large amount of information related to the health of the American population. The search engine within this website can be used to find relevant information
  • Federal agencies with statistical programs
  • Every state in the United States has its own specific health improvement plan and goals that are based on the Healthy People 2020 document. This information may be available on the state health department website.
  • State and local health departments provide information related to vital statistics for the community.

Other Data Sources

  • America’s Health Rankings—this website provides information about various health indicators for each state: https://www.americashealthrankings.org/
  • Other relevant data sources may be found by conducting an Internet search related to the topic that is being examined through the community assessment.

After data are collected from various sources, it is important to review the information and to identify assets and areas for improvement in the community by comparing local data (if available) versus state and national data. This will facilitate organization of the information that has already been obtained and will provide direction for the next step of the process.

Data Generation (data are developed that do not already exist):

Windshield Surveys

With the use of public transportation or by driving a vehicle around the community, one can observe common characteristics of the community.

Examples of key observations to make when one is assessing the community through a windshield survey include the following:

Participant Observation

Spend time observing the population that is being assessed. Through observation of interactions among group members, much can be learned about the community, including the following:

  • Developmental level of the population
  • Effectiveness of peer-to-peer interactions
  • Respect for peers and others
  • Safety in the environment
  • Economic status

Informant Interviews

Informants could be people who are familiar with and interact with the population on a regular basis.

Examples of questions that may be asked of key informants include the following:

Focus Groups

Focus groups (usually small groups of 6-12 people) can be helpful when one is gathering information about specific areas of concern within the population. Use of a focus group involves open dialogue about the population, whereas an interview or survey yields only individual responses.

  • Focus groups may be effective for assessing the following:
  • Satisfaction with services provided
  • Community resources used
  • Transportation issues within the community
  • Safety within the community
  • General concerns of members of the population

Surveys

Surveys may be used to collect data from the community. Selecting a sample of the target population may prove helpful in the collection of data that are easier to analyze. It is important to ensure that the sample is representative of the target population.

A survey should be developed that takes into consideration the developmental level of the group that is being assessed. Questions should be written at the appropriate developmental level, so they are answered in a way that makes the data useful. Surveys might include closed-ended (yes/no), multiple choice (several responses to choose from), Likert scale (Strongly Agree/Agree/Neutral/Disagree/Strongly Disagree), or open-ended (“why”/“how”) questions.

Topics that may be addressed in a survey include the following:

  • Demographic information
  • Status of employment
  • Safety within community
  • Safety in environment
  • Personal safety (seatbelts, helmets, etc.)
  • Stressors/stress management patterns
  • Risky behaviors
  • Support systems
  • Volunteer/community activities
  • Rest patterns
  • Nutrition
  • Dental hygiene
  • Health promotion activities
  •

    • Describe the population that is being assessed?
    • What is/are the race(s) of this population within the community?

The Employee Experience – Pathways to Employee success and retention

The Employee Experience – Pathways to Employee success and retention

Assignment Instructions

HR CHALLENGE: THE EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE – PATHWAYS TO EMPLOYEE SUCCESS AND RETENTION

Assignment Introduction

Scenario

You are an HR professional at a large teaching hospital with responsibility for the areas of employee talent development and employee experience (sometimes called employee perspective). The hospital’s mission is to integrate a broad spectrum of clinical care, teaching, and research, with special emphasis on the health of children and their families, for two states on the east coast of the United States.

Recently, you have observed high rates of turnover across a number of occupations. Licensed practical nurses, radiologist technicians, surgical technicians, pharmacy technicians, medical assistants, laboratory technicians, and dietitian assistants are at the top of the list of people your hospital cannot keep. You have been conducting exit interviews and talking to current employees about what the areas of concern are that could be influencing the high rate of turnover.

There is another hospital in the area that has been aggressively recruiting new employees. The hospital is associated with a medical school and an external physician assistance program. They are using a completely new employee experience approach that includes:

Advancement opportunities through joint university and technical certification programs.

Cross-field rotations.

Tuition assistance.

Scholarship programs for entry into the physician assistant program.

Work time for physical fitness.

Co-located complimentary daycare for second and third shift staff.

A gourmet cafeteria.

These benefits are part of what the private hospital calls a comprehensive work-life career-investment program for employees. Your institution has a legacy cafeteria and nothing that mirrors the other hospital’s employee experience program. Additionally, recent engagement surveys indicate that employees are not getting the career guidance from team leaders and supervisors that they think they should. Several surveys of employees found that they felt they are not valued or considered part of the organization and that “only doctors and RNs really mattered”.

Your Challenge

This assignment examines how to assess the effectiveness of employee talent development and employee experience (employee perspective). Consider the challenging conditions that you would face in the situation presented.

What would your next step be in confronting the HR challenge faced by the hospital from a competitive standpoint? Should you present the differences between your hospital and its competitor’s programs to your supervisors or even the hospital director? If yes, why, and how would you go about that? If not, what would your rationale be for your decision?

What research would you do? Making the type of changes that the other hospital made is a major effort in cost and from an organizational culture and employee valuing perspective.

What challenges might you face from your own HR director? From medical staff leaders and others? The cost of current turnover is coming close to 15% of yearly salary for some positions, and the loss of institutional knowledge is affecting treatment quality, according to a panel of physicians and nursing staff.

What new and different programs might be introduced into the organization to improve the employee experience considering the scope of challenges that were discussed in the introduction?

Your job in this assignment is to use the guidance from above to prepare a report for your supervisors on how you plan to approach the employee talent development, employee success, retention, and the employee experience issues with viable recommendations for solutions. Please provide at least six academic, scholarly, or professional resources from the Capella University Library.

Assignment Instructions

Prepare a 3–4-page report that states your recommended course of action. Along with your recommendation, include the following:

Analyze, from a competitive standpoint, how proposed recommendations address the HR challenge faced by the hospital.

What is the scope of the differences between your hospital and its competitor?

What would it take to emulate the competitor’s programs?

Describe key factors considered to support the major effort and cost it would take to enact changes in organizational culture, which could be embraced by employees.

What challenges would be faced by trying to emulate the competitor’s programs?

What would the risks be by not addressing the differences between your hospital and its competitor?

Explain how to mitigate cost of current turnover and the loss of institutional knowledge that is affecting treatment quality.

What is causing the turnover?

What actions can you take to address the issue?

Describe programs you would introduce to improve the employee experience.

What are the different parts of your programs?

What are they intended to do?

Project 1: Understanding Children and Adolescents

Project 1: Understanding Children and Adolescents

In 3-4 pages please write your personal theory of child and adolescent development. If you haven’t had any formal training in developmental theories—Great! You are exactly where you need to be right now. This assignment is a reflective piece, and should be based on your own thinking and life experiences. You are expected to include at least two references in the body of your paper.At least one reference must be from our textbook, and the other reference may also be from our textbook, or from a peer-refereed professional journal (not a book, web page, magazine, newspaper, etc.). Reference your work using the American Psychological Association (APA) Publication Manual. Return to the APA folder in the Orientation/Activities 1 module if you are unsure about how to do correct citations. Reference attached rubric for assignment expectations.

  1. What are the most important factors in determining how a child turns out as an adult?
  2. How do children’s minds grow and change over time?
  3. What roles do “nature” and “nurture” play in human development?
  4. If children have challenges in their early lives (for example, alcoholism in the family, poverty, abuse or neglect, and the like) does this mean that they are going to have difficulties later? If so, what kind of difficulties and why? If not, why not?

Please make sure that what you write are your own ideas and your own thinking, and to acknowledge how you ended up believing these things (experience, reading, a mentor, etc.).

Identify a real-world company (business or otherwise)

Pangaia

  1. write down its official mission and vision statements (i.e., those on the official websites)

Mission & Vision

PANGAIA is a direct-to-consumer materials science company bringing breakthrough textile innovations and patents into the world through everyday lifestyle products. Every technology we work with aims to solve an environmental problem of the fashion/apparel & nature industry.

We hope to drive these solutions further by making technologies and materials available to companies across different industries. By introducing these innovations, we design materials, products and experiences for everyday and everyone.

  1. evaluate the effectiveness (of the mission and vision statements) based on what you learned in class about mission and vision statements

I think their mission statement is very clear in what they want to achieve. They want to incorporate science to better our environment while providing everyday lifestyle products. It is clear they want to give customers cutting edge technology materials that they have patented and are able to help the environment at the same time thus making their mission statement product orientated. This is because they are focusing on making the best and environmentally friendly products consumers can wear.

Their vision is very clear as well on how they want to affect other industries on how they operate as a business. It clearly shows what type of culture is within this company and what sort of values they uphold. While I think parts of both statements are quite repeated I still like them since that the mission is more the short run towards customers and how the vision is how these new breakthroughs in sciences can help the whole world.

(c) describe its business model (using the business-model triangle we discussed in class)

What How Why Who

Pangaia business model is pretty clear, they want to be able to provide everyday lifestyle products to consumers that are backed by science to help the environment at the same time. Their value is these patents and breakthroughs using new technologies that benefits both consumer and environment. They target anyone who wants to wear simple everyday lifestyle gear so it is to the mass market. They have a very large community helping a large range of environmental issues as well as having philanthropy. They use great marketing to allow customers to be aware of their products but more importantly what types of breakthroughs they have made with science to be able to further develop their products. This allows them to sell their products at a medium price range and able to justify for it. They are able to use their R&D and sell their products to many consumers.

this is one.

Chegg’s mission statement from their website is: “Our mission is to help every student achieve their best, in school and beyond. We strive to improve the overall return on investment in education by helping students learn more in less time and at a lower cost. No one cares more about students and their future than Chegg.” While their vision being: “We strive to improve the overall return on investment in education by helping students learn more in less time and at a lower cost.” As you can tell their mission and their vision statements are very similar and both really get at the purpose of their company- to improve overall return on educational investment. When evaluating the effectiveness of the mission statement with the 3 key critieria purpose, scope, and stakeholders- Chegg’s mission statement addresses their purpose of why they exist (to improve overall return on educational investment and help students), but they lack the scope and addressing what exactly they do to accomplish this purpose. Their scope could be to help students learn in less time and at a lower cost, but they are lacking specific examples. They address their stakeholder of students are who they are trying to help. Their website goes into more details about their employees, the company’s values and more but their actual mission statement could be a little longer to address what exactly do they do to achieve their mission and vision.

Chegg’s business model:

1) Who- they target students for their customers. Their website says from high school to college and into their career.

2) What – the company offers services primarily online which is very convenient and also at a great price. They save the students money on required material and resources online.

3) How- they offer textbook rentals and purchases at competitive prices. They also offer course materials online through their monthly subscription such as textbook solutions, practice problems and study help.

4) Why- Chegg is offering these services to try to help students do the best they can in school at a cheaper price. Their main “why” is to improve the overall return on investment in education by helping students learn in less time and at a lower cost. They are generating value but being a resource for students at an affordable price and conveniently online.

Your post must have 3 references for full credit. Also, please ensure to have read the assigned chapters for the current week.

Case Study, Chapter 10, Mandatory Minimum Staffing Ratios

A nurse manager is attending a national convention and is attending a concurrent session on staffing ratios. Minimum staffing ratios are being discussed in the nurse manager’s own state. The nurse manager has a number of questions about staffing ratios that the session is covering. The nurse manager knows that evidence exists that increasing the number of RNs in the staffing mix leads to safer workplaces for nurses and higher quality of care for patients.

1. What are the three general approaches recommended by the American Nurses Association (2017) to maintain sufficient staffing?

2. Should LPNs be counted to meet minimum mandatory staffing ratios?

3. Analyze what proponents and critics say about whether mandatory minimum staffing ratios are needed.

T1 or T2 error

discussion

 

This discussion will force you to think ‘comprehensively’ about 2 issues. Thoroughly explain your responses as if this was a written exam.

1. Individuals make decisions every day. They make decisions based on their assumptions about the world, only to find out later that the assumptions were incorrect. Can you think of times when you have made a type I error? What about a situation when a type II error was made? Describe both situations and how you know or would describe why they were a T1 or T2 error.

2. Why do studies with good internal validity often have poor external validity? Give an example of a situation where enhancing internal validity might impair external validity. Specifically, how does sampling fit into this?
