Assignment 2: Case study—Paid Time Off (PTO) Policies

PTO policies have become good tools for HR staff to use in terms of organizational incentives. Use the Argosy University online library and your textbooks to read about PTO policies. Now, let us go back to Company A and Company B from Module 1.

While reviewing the information from the two merged companies, the HR Director has found out that each company has two different PTO policies.

Company A has a PTO system in which employees are given 30 days of paid time off each year, which accumulates at the rate of 2.5 days a month. Under this policy, vacation and sick leave are all rolled into one paid leave and any absence whether scheduled, such as vacation, or unscheduled, such as sick leave, are taken from the accumulated leave the employee has earned.

Company B has a more traditional leave system in which employees are given 12 days of vacation, 10 days of sick leave and 10 holidays. The company is closed on those holidays. Vacation is accumulated at a day per month. Sick leave has an unlimited accumulation, but unlike vacation would not be paid out upon termination of employment.

Since the employees of the merged company will be working side by side, the HR Director has asked you to review the situation and make recommendations for a solution.

Instructions:

As the HR Director, respond to the following issues:

• Identify any additional information you would need to recommend a solution, and explain where you would likely find that information.
• Discuss any issues you would likely encounter if you were to merge the PTO system to a traditional leave system. Explain which issues would be difficult to solve and why.
• Explain any problems you see with leaving the two systems in place, and identify which system would be assigned for new employees.
• Make a recommendation for one common PTO system. Explain your system and why you think this system is the best system for the company.

Include two to three scholarly references in your response.

Write a five-to-seven-page memo to the company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Project Overview

Health statistics is important as it provides indicators that help us learn about the conditions of life and health in a country. Health statistics is used to understand both individual health and also the health of an entire nation. Additionally, health statistics helps us to understand the effect of health on individuals and their environment. As we monitor the health of population(s), we enhance our understanding of strategies to promote its health. The development and analysis of health statistics provides needed information about health care services at the local, state, national and even international level.

Course Project – Hospital Overview

You are the HIM director for a Research Hospital, Be Well Healthcare. The hospital has just acquired a local hospital to expand their healthcare service options in your area and have asked you to sit on the committee that will be collecting statistical information to present to management team, so they can learn about the new facility.

For this project, you will select a local hospital in your area, which will be the hospital that was just acquired as part of the case study. You will research and present a formal report to the committee. You will develop sections of the report throughout the course and submit a final compilation of all the sections for the last project deliverable.

Identify a hospital in your area to research that interests you. Collect and analyze information about the hospital from its website, annual report, and other sources that you find. Write a 1-2 page paper that provides an overview of the facility. Include important information about its size, service deliveries, location, patient demographics, specialties, financial information and other information you find that is important or distinguishes the hospital.

Make sure that you properly cite references in an APA format. It is also important that you save any sources that you use for your paper as you will be creating an annotated bibliography as a future deliverable.

Due Week 3 and worth 100 points

Emotional Intelligence (EI) focuses on understanding the emotions and attitudes of others. To manage relationships effectively, we need to not only understand ourselves, but also increase what we know about others. EI emphasizes four key competencies for leadership success:

• Self-awareness–the ability to understand our own emotions and how they impact others
• Social awareness–the ability to understand the emotions of others
• Self-management–the ability to think before acting
• Relationship management–the ability to build rapport with others

Grasping the realities of organizational behavior begins with an understanding of personality and behavioral tendencies. Case Study 1 is designed to address issues pertaining to the emotions, attitudes, and job satisfaction of others. Read the “Trader Joe’s” case study on page W-99 in the back of your textbook to examine how emotions, attitudes, and job satisfaction influence decision-making.

Write a three to five (3-5) page paper in which you:

1. Examine the approach Trader Joe’s uses to promote a positive work environment for its employees. Determine at least three (3) ways in which Trader Joe’s is able to increase job satisfaction and performance.
2. Determine how Trader Joe’s uses the management process (planning, organizing, leading, and controlling) to develop its employees.
3. Suggest two (2) ways that leaders can effectively manage relationships in general by using the four (4) EI competencies.
4. Recommend at least three (3) leadership practices that Trader Joe’s could implement in order to increase the competitive edge of the organization. Provide a rationale for your response.
5. Use at least five (5) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Analyze the relationship between the basic organizational behavior models of individual, group, and organizational processes and the productivity of an organization.
• Explore how individual differences, personality traits, and perspectives impact the productivity of an organization.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in organizational behavior.
• Write clearly and concisely about organizational behavior using proper writing mechanics.

Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality, logic / organization of the paper, and language and writing skills, using the following rubric found here.

 

Exercise 6:2 My Extrinsic Motivations

 

The purpose of this exercise and the one that follows is to guide you in identifying the motivations you have experienced in your life that give you energy and persistence, and in classifying them by whether there are intrinsic and extrinsic motivations.
