Staffing Case Study David Ashby

On Wednesday 16th November 2016 at 09:30am, I was interviewed in Lorraine Bolton’s office (Head BMS), for a Band 2 MLA position in Microbiology department at Royal Preston Hospital. The panel members included Dawn Dixon (Senior Band 8 Team Leader), and Caroline Stubbs (Senior Band 7 BMS). This was my 4th interview for a Band 2 MLA position within the Microbiology department at Royal Preston Hospital. I was initially invited to attend the interview on Friday 11th November, but I was on annual leave on holiday abroad from Thursday 3rd November and was due to return on Sunday 13th November. Before I went on holiday, on Wednesday 2nd November I enquired about the interview date with Joan Bibby (Vacancy Administrator) who mentioned that she is

Staffing and educational training is another issue that influences early childhood programs. During the past two years in my Pre-K special needs classroom we have faced staffing issues. I work in a classroom that requires three staff members one teacher, assistant teacher and teacher’s aide. Last year we worked until the middle part of January with only myself (teacher) and the teacher’s aide with one autistic child and one child whose disability causes him to have seizures and left him deaf and blind. Each of these students required at times one on one care due to their disabilities. The lack of proper staffing often left my students working independently during classroom activities. This year we have faced

“[Design] is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works” (Walker, 2003, para. 4). When Steve Jobs said this comment he was speaking about the first iPod, but in actuality it rings true for any design, whether it is a product or a methodology. Tanglewood is a retail store chain with an “outdoors” theme (Kammeyer-Mueller, 2012). The organizational structure in conjunction with recent growth is causing a disconnect between Tanglewood’s mission and quality of staff. Tanner Emerson and Thurston Wood (the owners) are the founders of Tanglewood and are seeking the professional guidance of an external human resources (HR) consultant to unify the organization’s practices between regions (Kammeyer-Mueller, 2012). The HR consultant will use the staffing organizations model (Figure 1) to design a plan for the organization. The staffing organizations model is an effective design when the content works for the organization.

“Buy in” or can also say commitment, which is personal and professional or active engagement can be challenging. It includes acquiring something new and concurrently letting go of the past and creating changes. In today’s healthcare system there are new ways of delivering care, which involves risks. During this process, staff may feel as though they have to get rid of old things that have helped them well and had huge significance to them as part of their routine. We should carefully encourage them to get use of the new activities and make them realize that the previous activities are not bringing the desired outcome. It has to be done in such a way to increase the likelihood of staff buy-in. The important factors of buy-in, is Initial engagement,

Also, the interviewer did not ask any questions to determine the interviewee’s behavior, her critical thinking, or how well, if at all, she worked in a team. Overall both, the interviewee and interviewer, would do well to brush-up on their interviewing skills.

The basic structure of the interviewing was used throughout, except in the initiations phase. Rather than being informative, initiation was very prompt and short. Nurse hadn’t asked for the applicant’s comfort, a confidentiality statement was not delivered in this phase, though nurse talked about it after the personal information section was already passed. Also, nurse hadn’t said anything regarding the information like whom she will be submitting the information and what will be the outcome? The

More than once I have written about working for temporary agencies. I have a lot of experience with them, and I think temporary assignments are a great way to test different types of companies and jobs.
