McDonalds has taught me how to solve problems and work at a fast pace while delivering good standard food to satisfy customers’ needs. I have gained a good understanding how the business is run by talking to my business manager. At work I am in a viewpoint team, which is a problem solving team. The viewpoint team is for employees that have problems at work. The employees will come and talk to the viewpoint team to discuss their issues, then we have regular meetings with the business manager to resolve these problems and stop them from happening in the future. Being in the viewpoint team at McDonalds allows me to gain teamwork and leadership skills. I am also currently going through the process of getting promoted to crew trainer. The crew trainer role will help me develop my skills further, as a crew trainer I will be providing mentoring and support to the crew members in the restaurant on a daily basis.

The influence and most of McDonald’s success is the investment of significant in their employee’s growth and job satisfaction.

One possible outcome measurement strategy that will be utilized will be patient satisfaction surveys. These surveys are sent out after patients have been discharged from the rehabilitation hospital. The surveys consist of questions that cover the quality of care received by nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, dietary services, speech therapy, physician care, etc. The survey also covers the hospital itself, to include cleanliness, noise level and so on. These surveys will allow the quality management director to collect data on areas that need improvement and areas that are doing well. The areas that need improvement will show where training can be developed or new policies developed to assist with implementing new changes or making adjustments to the current changes.

While behavior change isn't easy, it can be made more manageable through the use of effective time management and scheduling. I have a bad habit in the form of procrastination, and I tended to procrastinate and postpone a lot of things in my life, including the activities I undertook for my behavior change project. By taking part in this project, I have learned that in order to accomplish my goals and fulfill my obligations, I need to set times aside for doing my different activities. By applying this attitude to both the project and other aspects in my life, I have managed to mitigate my procrastination and accomplish my objectives in a timelier

This past summer, I realized that I was getting a lot more exercise compared to the school year. Aside from the occasional basketball, volleyball, or run, I do not have a set schedule or exercise regularly. As a result, I found the Behavioral Change Project the perfect opportunity to set the goal for myself of being more physically fit by exercising daily. To do so, I aimed to either play sports (basketball or volleyball) for at least 1 hour or run at least 1 mile (which includes 5 minutes of stretching beforehand) as my daily exercise. Having the objectives established beforehand made it clear to me what I needed to do to reach my goal. I also wrote down goal-facilitating behaviors (planning to run with others, to work and study effectively

During the start of the McDonald’s company, the McDonald’s Brothers had revolutionized the restaurant business through the idea of self-service. “Imagine — No Carhops — No Waitresses — No Dishwashers — No Bus Boys…,” they’d say (Schlosser 20). As a result of the new Speedee Service System, McDonald’s had never been in better shape. Ray Kroc, amazed by this, expanded the model all across the United States, increasing McDonald’s popularity. Apart from that, the creation of institutions like Hamburger University also solidify the service standards each restaurant should maintain. Hamburger University trained thousands of workers yearly, passing along “a common McDonald’s language” and “a common McDonald’s culture (Schlosser 31).” Through this, Ray Kroc created a single standard in which their service should be executed. This could make up for the lack of employee involvement in the new self-service model. McDonald’s was slowly becoming a beloved family name.
