Over the next 3-5 years, Schlegel Village will aim to have hospitality graduates in upper-level management in various villages. Their established leadership development program will ensure that hospitality graduates are familiar with and interested in employment and management opportunities within their organization.
Strategy #1
Focus on attracting current hospitality students to Schlegel Villages through short-term/part-time employment.
The focus of this strategy is highlighting the position attributes as the main competitive advantage of Schlegel Villages. This includes flexible hours, vacations/sabbaticals, weekend availability, level of pay, quality of compensation and benefits packages. It will evaluate students based on their skills and can incorporate Robert Katz’s three skill approach to assess them: technical skills, human skills and conceptual skills (Virkus, 2009). It will focus on matching students to their preferred entry-level jobs, especially in the summer or part-time during the school year.

Hello Dr. Ullom, majority of the long term care facilities are under staffed. There is usually one registered nurse in charge to manage a 240 bed facility, with LPN's and nursing assistance. I feel that these patients would benefit from having one RN to every six -eight patients with a nursing assistance. Not only would this benefit the patient but the nurse as well. Patient are placed in long term care facility with a certain problem, but ends up with additional condition such as UTI, MRSA, pressure ulcers, and etc. These issues are related to poor care they receive because of unstaffing. I'm not placing blame on the LPN or nursing assistance, but with a RN and low nurse to patient ratio, they will receive better care.

As a MSW student at a long term care home, I get an opportunity to take on many duties and activities. For starters, I get to do a lot of administration work including filing, faxing, photocopying, writing thank you letters for those who came for the tour of the home, mailing care conference letters to families to let them know when it is and making phone calls to family members as well as different agencies such as Community Care Access Centre (CCAC). One of the main duties and most important I find is visiting residents and addressing any concerns they may have. This can include issues that they may be experiencing with another resident and connecting them with different services such as Amy’s Helping Hands and transportation services. To

With the hopes and dreams of eventually having my own Long-term care community, I hope that we make our LGBT nurses/CNA’s comfortable as well as the residents in the community. There are a few different ideas that I would like to implement into the community in order to make them feel more comfortable. First, I would like to make an awareness group to better educate others in what LGBT is and how to properly treat others. I will not only make it specific to the LGBT community in how to properly treat them but other ethnicities, diversity, and races as well. Something that needs to be worked on in our time is how to better treat each other and realize that people can have their own opinions, that of which, should not make such a large impact

Seaside Convalescent Care Center (SCCC) has many issues that need to be addressed in order to be compliant with state and avoid fines. Due to SCCC high turnover rate tenured staff is not always readily available to train and mentor new staff. For months management tried offering incentives to make staff, particularly the nursing assistance feel like a valued member of the team. Nothing management did seem to stop the high turnover rate and motivate the staff not to be untrustworthy, undependable, and condescending (to residents). Management gave all responsibilities to the Director of Nursing(DON) in hopes that her tenure and experience would turn SCCC around. The DON used a coercive leadership style because she did not value her nursing assistance and assumed they would eventually quit anyway. The coercive leadership style should only be used when for very problematic subordinates
