It is problematic that healthcare professions work rotating shifts because this impedes on the ability of the human body to function properly. Rotating shifts means that everyday their shifts are at different times and different lengths of time. The human body needs to be in line with the environment and when the sun is up the body naturally is awake and alert and during night time the body goes dormant to sleep, this is called circadian rhythm. The body has a circadian clock and when this is disrupted this can lead to depression and anxiety. This can lead to exhaustion and irritation that can cause someone to make mistakes. This can also lead to sleep debt and cause insomnia that can affect the mental alertness. Sleep allows the body to fight

The main goal of Sharp Healthcare is to increase employees, physicians, and patient satisfaction as well as providing quality care. They believe that in order for the facility to be successful, it has to have motivated staff who provide quality care. At Sharp Health Care, they believe in open communication among the staff, which can be argued to be a weak approach. It can also be argued that Sharp Healthcare can be rewarding their staff so that they can improve their performance further. Overall, Sharp approach to motivate its staff is a great innovation and it will be great if it is replicated in

Continual training is needed not only to educate personnel but also to remind personnel that although coming to work may be a daily routine for them, a trip to the hospital for many patients is far from ordinary. The security guard who was more concerned with the position of the car and talking to his buddy, than why the people in the car had drove up to the emergency entrance in the first place was mind boggling. With the exception of our initial phone call to the hospital, the security guard experience was our first impression as we entered the hospital. The actions of the security guard, the orderly's remarks, and the inexperienced resident set the tone for that first day's experience.

Findings of this study suggest four common themes occurring in correctional facilities: (1) issues of risk and safety; (2) tensions between “care” and “control”; (3) team working, individual and professional responsibilities and (4) communication issues (Foster, Bell, & Jayasinghe, 2013). Data from this research project points out that the predominant philosophy in correctional facilities is security rather than healthcare and that nurses usually do not become aware of this until after employment. This creates conflict and power struggles between the healthcare officer (HO) and nurse. One interviewee, a female HO, suggested that nurses are naïve to the risky situations that can occur due to their

This research work is based on finding out the factors of motivation that can be employed for the NHS foundation staff. The NHS Foundation trust is a semi-autonomous organization within the National Health Service in the United Kingdom. These trusts have a certain degree of independence and work in an autonomous form as related to the Department of Health in the country. As computed in March 2014, there are 147 foundation trusts for NHS operating in the country. The factor of motivation of the employees in the workplace is extremely important for deciding the performance levels of an organization that functions in the healthcare segment. As such, this research is conducted to evaluate the existing motivation levels, strategies and performance within the organization. In addition, the motivation strategies that can be used by the business managers in the organization are considered and their practical application is analysed. The research would be mainly based on secondary research methodology in which data would be gathered from the employee groups working in the NHS foundation Trust. The research report is structured in a methodical and step by step manner. Suitable research aims and objectives are designed followed by a thorough review of the available literatures on the topic of motivation. The literature review would help to provide a base for the development of the research work and for analysing the collected data from a theoretical

Motivation plays a vast part in the NHS as the people are the NHS's most important asset therefore staff need to make sure they are well motivated to ensure that jobs are done efficiently. Motivation is the desire to work that little bit harder. The NHS will try to improve motivating staff in order to achieve a desired goal and sustains certain goal directed behaviours.

Organizational culture in a HCO is predetermined by state and government laws, executed by company rules and influenced by social norms to provide and manage patient care and safety. The organizational culture of our group project was predetermined by the instructions given to us by our professor, executed by our team and guided by the social norms such as internet etiquette as per UCF guidelines. In this document we will discuss how we worked as a team and how we assigned individual roles for completing this

It’s clear that, both the employee and the employer benefit from job rotation. Spending a few weeks or months working at a job enables employees to learn more about the workplace, their colleagues, as well as a better appreciation of what their fellow employees actually do. They can also get different experiences and wider variety of skills. Employers learn about individual employee skill sets, and strengths and weaknesses. Employers also can use what they learn through job rotations to find the best placement for each employee. Despite benefits that a job rotation brings to both employees and the employer, if it does not implemented carefully, the result is wasting time and stakeholders

The first recommendation would be to improve the company’s motivation when it comes to the positive reinforcements, punishments, and psychological contract. When these three factors are present, the employees’ motivation levels will increase, which will create an expansion in productivity and revenue at Engstrom. Therefore, increasing the company’s motivation is important because when the employees are happy the company’s productivity stays afloat. When the employees are unhappy, they will begin to slack off and both the company’s productivity and revenue will decline. According to the study done by Kropivsek, Jelacic, & Groseli (2011), “motivating the employees is of key importance for providing their efficiency and quality of work. This applies

Professionals that work rotating shifts may lead themselves into problems regarding their health and social life due to the amount of time it takes for our bodies to function according to their schedules. Our circadian rhythm can be affected by frequent shift changes if the individual is not used to working opposite of what our bodies are used to for instance an individual that usually works days and goes to sleep during the night. If a person that works the traditional 8 am – 5 pm shift switches to a night shift, it may be difficult for that individual to catch up on sleep because of the light. Our bodies familiarize with their biological rhythms which help function our heart rate, eating schedules and body temperatures during certain hours

Working at any job that is a rotating shift can be problematic. First off, having a rotating shift can cause you be exhausted. One will lose a great amount of sleep, and not receive the normal amount of sleep it takes for a person to feel relaxed. Another issue, could involve one's health. One may not be getting the nutrition or physical workout they need throughout their shifts. Not only is one's health and issue but also, their safety. "The Institute for Work and Health (IWH) reports that there is strong evidence that night, evening, rotating and irregular shifts are associated with in increased risk of occupational injury" (Canadian Centre for Occupational Health & Safety, 2010). Meaning there is most likely less supervision that is occurring

Human Resources is dependent on the success, happiness, and contentment of employees that keep the business on course. Motivation is one of the best ways to push employees forward while making sure everyone is in a comfortable position in their job. Motivational theories just attempt to explain what motivates or makes people act the way that they do. The goal of understanding these theories and their outcomes is to ensure a better performance from each employee, and to give each of those employees the best situation they can have in the workplace. Visionaries such as Abraham Maslow, Frederick Herzberg, and Henry A. Landsberger also brought forward new ways of management and ways to handle internal situations that changed the landscape of human resources as a whole. Motivational theories instituted in the workplace have a commonly positive effect on both employees and management, showing that it is important to strive for proven motivational practices.
