Poor staff training is where a member of staff has received low amount of training they are required to have in their job, for example the staff member may not have been told how to use a hoist which could be dangerous to the patient because if the staff didn’t use the equipment properly it could put the patient in a dangerous position by falling out of the hoist another example could be communication. It is important to have effective communication in a health and social care role as the patients are needed care which will require communication between the staff and patient to meet the service user’s needs.

There are also personnel like orderlies, therapists, physicians, and lab attendants who work alongside the facility but may not have direct contact with the patients daily, but instead are only scheduled to visit once or twice weekly. A substantial issue within the staffing of these organizations is that they’re usually constantly understaffed, offering jobs to those who have no work experience in taking care of others. This can lead to the abuse of patients by them not receiving adequate care.

Each staff member should display a high echelon of outstanding care due to their impressionable experience levels and infinite amount of training. The majority of them will have advanced credentials in specialty areas. The nurses and other staff members emphasize family and patient education to increase the possibility of independence.

The major issues identified in this case study are the skills lacked by Gallagher to handle the staffs and members, the high rated self assessment by Gallagher that speaks about his disagreement to change. Gallagher is a diligent manager who lacks soft skills and is very critical about his staff and can’t delegate, entrust and coach team members. This is why the employees reporting him get dissatisfied to work in the

And once a new person supported was taken on-board, the support service supervisor selects a team which would support the individual, and the support workers working in the team can report to any of the case managers. A support worker would report to one particular case manager for performance appraisal purpose, but can work on any of the teams under any of the case managers. Thus initially, this structure was successful, as it reduced the work load and burnout, by making the support workers spend less time on each case, thus accommodating vacations and sick coverage. But as the organization grew and more cases were taken on-board, it became more challenging as each support worker was working for many case managers and ended up working more hours, and support workers’ performance appraisal, scheduling was impacted. Thus this cross-reporting structure impacted the employees and organization. Multiple managers, conflicting policies and procedures, and contradictory loyalties can often lead to ineffective management. Conflicts may occur between team managers, who are forced to compete for the time of the individual team members and leads to operational inefficiency and increased costs.

You may work with different individuals each with their own preferences, wishes and needs. You will find out about these by reading individuals care and support plans as well as communicating with them when you are together. [ It is important that you follow care and support plans and understand and respect what the individuals you work with say they need. The General Social Care Council wrote a Code of Conduct setting out your responsibilities. These are some of the responsibilities you will have to individuals you support: Protect their rights and promote their interests Establish and maintain their trust and confidence Promote their independence and

1) Lack of open communication - Companies hierarchical structure is quite wide and there is a big gap between senior management and base-line workers. There seems to be enough communication between senior and middle management (Marc Fontaine to meet manufacturing director and Redgrove plant director), but there seems to be not so open communication between Middle management and floor level managers (Page was hesitant to talk to Marc). The assumption-observation error is one of the critical errors in communication, and Marc being a newbie might have to establish that trust and open communication channels to better understand the needs to floor workers.

Women’s history in the United States has always been represented as a struggle for rights. Wealth and status were tied to either their fathers or husbands. In the early 1900s, women were afforded the traditional roles of society. The majority of women worked in the home. If they were of the 18% young or poor women, they also worked in factories as laborers, manufacturing items for the booming industrial revolution (U.S. Department of Labor, 1980). During this time period the workplace was not in compliance with current safety standards. There was no minimum wage yet, work conditions were horrible and they worked long hours, “In 1900, the average workweek in manufacturing was 53 hours,” (Fisk, 2003). Women took “pink

staff, the skill level of the nursing staff, and the education/certification of nursing staff” (ANA, 2015). These

The service managers meet with commissioners regularly, and provide detailed quarter reports containing data which links service delivery with the service objectives. The service manager supervises a team of senior caseworkers and ensures that they undertake their responsibilities. The GOALS manager is also my direct line manager.

Within the department of Social Services all the roles are in a hierarchy system. At the bottom of the system is where a service user would make first contact with the department. This is where the service user would be assessed to deem whether the potential user is eligible to receive help and to which department would offer the service user the most appropriate help, for instance whether they would benefit from being referred to the mental health team or another relevant department. It is important that the first assessment is carried out thoroughly in order for the service user to get the help they need if they are vulnerable and if there are any safeguarding issues. The structure of a social services department is organised in such a way that there are specialist teams available to deal with various issues that affect service users. If someone has a mental health problem they will be able to receive specialist help from the mental health team, who will liaise with other professionals within the mental health sector such as psychiatrists and community mental health nurses, so that the service user can access all the available resources available and receive a positive outcome to their experience. The children and family’s department will be able to offer specialist help in supporting parents and children to stay together or if needs be intervention and safeguarding. These social workers will have specialist knowledge of how to interact with children and their families to

One important result that is occurring because of the lack of staff is the neglecting of tasks and more responsibility. Nurses are reporting that a lot of nursing tasks that are applicable to patient safety and good nursing are being left out. Nurses discussed how patient and family preparation for

Since the structure of the association didn't change for a long stretch of 8 years it has created numerous issues which were hard to oversee. As we studied last week only about the paradigm shift how it causes a organization to go back to zero if you follow the same strategies for long period of time .like the example of Swiss watch market was taken over by the Japanese companies.
