IBM wrote its first equal opportunity policy in 1953 and called for equal opportunities in hiring regardless of race, color, or ethnicity. Opportunities are shared equally in the company so long as the individual has the potential. On the other hand, HP was built on diversity, inclusion, and equality values. The company believes that for it to succeed, it must embrace unity. HP is committed to embracing a culture that is against racism and using its technology to bring change to the company and society. IBM has a history of inclusion as it has different programs that help embrace all employees and like members of the organization. For instance, the company has a program that attracts women into the IT industry, such as the Girls Schools’ Outreach Programme. It was by the UK Women’s Leadership Council (WLC)

Collectivist culture prioritizes group cohesion rather than personal pursuits, while individualist culture encourages personal freedom and independence. Another attribute studied by Muratbekova-Touron (2011) was the femininity dimension. This attribute looks at whether a particular culture embraces feminine attributes within the working environment, especially when it comes to leadership approaches. Muratbekova-Touron (2011) also looked at high and low-context communication. Low context communication cultures are characterized by a transparent communication process, while in high context communication cultures, access to information is restricted, communication is personal, subtle, and situational. Furthermore, ambiguity and non-directness are encouraged within the workplace. The final attribute studied by Muratbekova-Touron (2011) was the language dimension. This attribute looks at how people speak to one another within a particular culture.

Personality traits

/in /by

 

Personality assessments are widely used in the workplace for purposes of personal growth, career guidance, and personnel selection. Analyze the use of personality assessments in the workplace and discuss the types of concerns practitioners have about their use. In what types of circumstances would you recommend that an organization administer a personality assessment such as the MBTI assessment? In what types of circumstances would you not recommend the use of a personality assessment? Explain your answer, referencing course readings and other academic sources.

Requirements: 300 words

Answer preview

Although personality assessments have proven to be effective in determining the personalities of an individual and whether they meet and fit into the requirements of an organization, they are however not applicable in all situations. Personality traits overemphasize given characters while undermining and omitting other factors, hence providing a distorted version of an individual (U.S. Department of Labor, n.d.). Hence, personality assessments should not be used solely for hiring practices. During hiring, different aspects of an individual are essential. This includes the skills, abilities, and knowledge of an individual.

Organizational change

/in /by

Reflect on an organizational change effort in the past that you are familiar with (this can be at an organization you researched or worked with) that experienced significant resistance from employees, and answer the following questions:

  1. Why did employees resist the change?
  2. What were the problematic issues that were not being effectively addressed, from the employees’ point of view?
  3. Were the underlying concerns legitimate?
  4. What could the leader have done to address the situation or prevent the concern from arising?
  5. How would this have changed the outcomes of the change effort?

Respond to at least two of your peers with any questions you have about their experience of witnessing resistance to change in organizational change efforts, and compare their answers to your own understanding of problems of resistance in organizational change efforts.

PLEASE SEE ATTACHED FOR PEER RESPONSES

Requirements: 1 paragraph each question – for peers just 1 paragraph

Answer preview

Yes, the underlying concerns were legitimate. As much as the change is hard, employees always want the best for the organization. However, whenever they feel like their leader is not up for the task, they feel like the organization will fail, resulting in losing their jobs. The employees were not experienced enough for the software company’s changes, so they needed some training for the new roles (Tanner, 2019). Not receiving the training puts a strain on their job security which is realistic for every employee. Employees are part of the organization, and they always want to feel appreciated. Not including them in change management plans will demoralize them. Their concerns of not feeling appreciated were legitimate. They lost their faith in the company and any change was not welcomed.

Answer preview

Collective bargaining also plays an effective communication channel between the nurses and those in leadership, and those who make policies and decisions that directly or indirectly impact the nursing practice. Additionally, through collective bargaining, nurses are able to take part in the decision-making process and also advocate for measures and programs that advance their professional development and growth. The quality of patient care has also been improved through collective bargaining, where nurses advocate for more funds or resources that enable them to safely and effectively provide the best care services to their patients. Every year, millions of workers from different sectors in the United States negotiate and renegotiate their terms of employment or working conditions.

Strategies for managing human and financial resources

/in /by

For this assessment you will create an 8-12 slide PowerPoint presentation for one or more stakeholder or leadership groups to generate interest and buy-in for the plan proposal you developed for the third assessment ( Attached: the lack of teamwork and cooperation issue solution proposal)

As a current or future nurse leader, you may be called upon to present to stakeholders and leadership about projects that you have been involved in or wish to implement. The ability to communicate a plan—and potential implications of not pursuing such a plan—to stakeholders effectively can be critically important in creating awareness and buy-in, as well as building your personal and professional brand in your organization. It is equally important that you know how to create compelling presentations for others’ delivery and ensure that they convey the same content you would deliver if you were the presenter.

Demonstration of Proficiency

    • Competency 1: Explain strategies for managing human and financial resources to promote organizational health.
      • Explain how the interdisciplinary plan could be implemented and how the human and financial resources would be managed.
      • Explain an organizational or patient issue for which a collaborative interdisciplinary team approach would help achieve a specific improvement goal.

<li”>Competency 2: Explain how interdisciplinary collaboration can be used to achieve desired patient and systems outcomes.

  • Competency 3: Describe ways to incorporate evidence-based practice within an interdisciplinary team.
    • Summarize an evidence-based interdisciplinary plan to address an organizational or patient issue.
    • Propose evidence-based criteria that could be used to evaluate the degree to which the project was successful in achieving the improvement goal.
  • Competency 5: Apply professional, scholarly, evidence-based communication strategies to impact patient, interdisciplinary team, and systems outcomes.
    • Slides are easy to read and error free. Detailed speaker notes are provided.
    • Organize content with clear purpose/goals and with relevant and evidence-based sources (published within 5 years) with an APA formatted reference list with few errors.

Scenario

In addition to summarizing the key points of Attached Assessment, you will provide stakeholders and/or leadership with an overview of project specifics as well as how success would be evaluated—you will essentially be presenting a discussion of the Plan, Do, and Study parts of the PDSA cycle. Again, you will not be expected to execute the project, so you will not have any results to study. However, by carefully examining the ways in which your plan could be carried out and evaluated, you will get some of the experience of the thinking required for PDSA.

When creating your PowerPoint for this assessment, it is important to keep in mind the target audience: your interviewee’s organizational leadership. The overall goal of this assessment is to create a presentation that your interviewee could potentially give in his or her organization.

Instructions

Please follow the Guidelines for Effective PowerPoint Presentations [PPTX] ( attached)

Be sure that your plan addresses the following, which corresponds to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so you understand what is needed for a distinguished score.

  • Explain an organizational or patient issue for which a collaborative interdisciplinary team approach would help achieve a specific improvement goal.
  • Summarize an evidence-based interdisciplinary plan to address an organizational or patient issue.
  • Explain how the interdisciplinary plan could be implemented and how the human and financial resources would be managed.
  • Propose evidence-based criteria that could be used to evaluate the degree to which the project was successful in achieving the improvement goal.
  • Communicate the PowerPoint presentation of the interdisciplinary improvement plan to stakeholders in a professional manner, with writing that is clear, logically organized, and respectful with correct grammar and spelling using current APA style.

There are various ways to structure your presentation; following is one example:

  • Part 1: Organizational or Patient Issue.
    • What is the issue that you are trying to solve or improve?
    • Why should the audience care about solving it?
  • Part 2: Relevance of an Interdisciplinary Team Approach.
    • Why is using an interdisciplinary team relevant, or the best approach, to addressing the issue?
    • How will it help to achieve improved outcomes or reach a goal?
  • Part 3: Interdisciplinary Plan Summary.
    • What is the objective?
    • How likely is it to work?
    • What will the interdisciplinary team do?
  • Part 4: Implementation and Resource Management.
    • How could the plan be implemented to ensure effective use of resources?
    • How could the plan be managed to ensure that resources were not wasted?
    • How does the plan justify the resource expenditure?
  • Part 5: Evaluation.
    • What would a successful outcome of the project look like?
    • What are the criteria that could be used to measure that success?
      • How could this be used to show the degree of success?

Again, keep in mind that your audience for this presentation is a specific group (or groups) at your interviewee’s organization and tailor your language and messaging accordingly. Remember, also, that another person will ultimately be giving the presentation. Include thorough speaker’s notes that flesh out the bullet points on each slide.

Additional Requirements

  • Number of slides: Plan on using one or two slides for each part of your presentation as needed, so the content of your presentation will be 8–12 slides in length. Remember that slides should contain concise talking points, and you will use presenter’s notes to go into detail. Be sure to include a reference slide as the last slide of your presentation.
  • Number of references: Cite a minimum of 3 sources of scholarly or professional evidence that support your central ideas. Resources should be no more than five years old.
  • APA formatting: Make sure that in-text citations on your slides and in your notes pages and reference slide reflect current APA Style and Format.

Requirements: 8-12 slides

Answer preview

  • The plan will be implemented through team leaders that will ensure resources are not poorly utilized
  • Accessing the team-building recreation room will require authorization from the HR manager, who will deliver the training materials needed to ensure resources and facilities are not wasted.
  • The resource expenditure will be based on the change needed and the plans implemented.
  • The outcomes of the plans would justify if the resources used were worthy. ;;;;
