Assignment

I.

1. The Vice President of HR asked you to develop a policy for recruiting and hiring employees for the hospital. Given that the employees will be working in close proximity of the patients and consumers, identify the three most important elements that you will include in this policy. State why these are important from your viewpoint.

2. What information do you find most important when recruiting staff?

3. Is it just the degrees they possess that is most important. What other things are good to know when hiring qualified staff?

II. You have been asked to develop a compensation package for the new CEO of the hospital, the new IT manager, and a new pediatric nurse. What components will you address in each of their packages? Will you offer the same type of compensation (variable, fixed, bonuses etc.) for each? Will performance play a part in your compensation package? Provide rationale to support your viewpoint.

What tools would you need to compose this package? Does the local area matter, or is it about the credentials?

When we consider what is needed we must consider the facility and the employee. Remember the additive, "you get what you pay for".

III. You are a training coordinator with a personal care facility in Denver. The HR specialist has asked you to plan for a 30-minute employee orientation program on diversity in the healthcare organization. What elements will you include?

Why do we orientate new staff?

Some companies wonder if the expense is necessary if we hire qualified employees, but it is more than that. This is where we can establish a culture and a behavior that is larger than what the resume states. What do you think about that?
