Paragraph 4

Please write a Paragraph answering to this discussion below with your opinion. Please include citations and references in case of another source.

The theory that I find most helpful, appealing and effective out of all the theories is the systems theory. In this theory it is assumed that the family unit is greater than the sum of all its members. Individual client is viewed by the nurses who understand this system theory as a functioning and contributing member of a larger family system where each member of the family influences the other. It is the duty of the nurse to focus on the family as a whole. When there is any change in one family member, the whole family learns to adapt. When a member of the family undergo any crisis, according to the systems theory, the member is unable to adapt to his or her new environment, other family members must play an active role by adapting to the needs of that family member. The systems theory is based on the belief that all parts of the body are connected to each other, in understanding, no one part of the body can be isolated from the other if considered. System theory focuses on the interactions that occur among members of the system and the entire family is a unit of the analysis. (Karakurt. & Silver, 2014).

In the facility I work, family members are encouraged to stay with the patients if they are able to. Provisions are made for family members to stay with the patient at all times throughout their stay in the facility. Family members stick together and keep each other informed and updated about changes when any family member goes through any changes in their health. Staying informed and updated help the family members make adjustments with the changing health status of the family member and be more proactive when they needed the most. Approaches employing systems theory aim at understanding the interactions between the sub-system and between the systems and the environment as well as the dynamics resulting from these interactions. (Von Schlippe. & Frank, 2013)

Changes in the life of one family member affects the whole family and the family members must come together, accept it and find a way to face the challenges. All the family members must rely on one another for support in order to face the changes as a team, this theory supports that the family is unified as a whole and not one individual as they all work together to face the differences. This ensures that the whole family gets support not just the one person that is going through the change as they can grow together, work together as a family in spite of the challenges.

Team-Building Short Discussion

I am needing a short post (2 paragraphs) for the following topic: View this interactive discussion scenario and answer the question(s) posed at the end of the presentation.

The video link includes a notes tab which provides the transcript to the video.

Please use MLA citations if including reference.

I will also need 2 peer responses created. Please see the post created by my classmates below:

1) Sarah did a great job communicating her information, now she just needs to make sure it is implemented. A few strategies I would impose are making sure the vision of the company is in a visible location for the staff and the customers. The more the staff sees the vision, the more likely they will follow its path. It would also allow customers to see what the expectations are and would hold the staff accountable to deliver. I would also implement a staff to staff recognition board. This board will allow a peer to recognize another peer for delivering outstanding service. Some of the best awards I received throughout my life have come from peers. It is always a good feeling when your peers see you are valuable.

2) With the workshop completed and the wait staff trained on the new direction and policies, it is up to Sarah to observe behaviors and tendencies of the wait staff. Being in an observance state, I feel Sarah’s best interest should be to let a leader rise amongst the wait staff. Given that the scenario explained, ‘the wait staff is on-board,’ there should be a renewed sense of inspiration or desire from the staff to achieve their new goals. What has to be set are important tasks, that is number one. Once those tasks are generally assigned, I believe, letting the team appropriate those task would be the best case scenario. This way, members of the wait staff can deliberate and delegate tasks to who they see fit. This will give Sarah the ability to be in charge of the overall goals, while giving her the ability to interject situations when they arise. With a team lead delegating day-to-day tasks, Sarah now has more time for specialized one-on-one training to ensure team members that are falling behind, be picked up and not left behind. Staff meeting should now become a priority for Sarah.

Conducting open-discussion staff meetings are a great way to give staff members a voice. For Sarah’s situation, having weekly or bi-weekly staff meeting will ensure that any nuances or gremlins be caught early, before they become a bigger issue. This will also allow members to share ideas amongst each other to solve topics at hand. I believe this is imporant to guarantee Sarah’s success and the morale of the team. A team that communicates is more likely to succeed.

Research paper covering The Importance of Managing Diversity in the Workplace

I have decided to write my HR paper proposal on The Importance of Managing Diversity in the Workplace. Diversity in the workplace is significant to the success of an organization. In a business environment, employees from different backgrounds are asked to operate as teams to maximize productivity and creativity. With the ever-increasing efforts for diversity in the workplace, there’s an increase in difficulty of managing people from a wide array of ethnic backgrounds. Due to the diverse talents and perspectives that may arise from these individuals, organizations must learn to adapt to workplace diversity for the sake of business success. Detailed instructions are on the attached file.
