The Cost of Worksite Wellness

/in /by

Consider the following scenario:

You are the worksite wellness manager of a health care organization in tight economic times. You realize the organization must make budget cuts. The worksite wellness program seems to be a money pit, and the CFO is encouraging the organizational leader to have it dropped.

Write a one page professional letter to the CFO justifying the value of your program. Use a bit of creativity. Address the following in your letter:

  • What positive behavior changes due to your worksite wellness program can you show?
  • What cost savings can you show?
  • How might you change the program to produce better financial outcomes?

Remember, the CFO is finance-oriented, so he or she will want to hear facts that support your justification. Search for articles on this subject to support your statements, and gather statistics that show real dollar-cost savings. Provide complete APA references for your resources.

/in /by

Set the Stage for Change

Have you ever found yourself in a situation at work or in your personal life that you wished were somehow different than it was? Did you know what steps to take to change the situation yourself? Did you know how to get the people around you all moving in the same direction, with urgency, to create the change you desired? Change is often crucial to long term success both in business and in life. Accomplishing change, however, is not always easy. Throughout the assignments in this course you will work through one specific example of the change process to help you master the steps of change.

Specific questions or items to address:

Select an organization in which you feel change is needed. The organization may be a current or previous employer, a school organization, military organization, or other group you may be a part of. Be sure you have adequate knowledge of the organization to complete the project.

Throughout the course you will be studying Kotter’s 8 Steps for change from Kotter and Cohen’s The Heart of Change. Each week you will build and expand on your final project for the course; a plan to implement change successfully. Your first goal is to identify the organization and change that is needed. Summarize the context of the organization, the change that is needed, why the change is needed, and why you feel the organization/situation is a good candidate for your final project.

Be sure to include at least three scholarly references to support your assertions written in your own words. Do not copy word for word from the course text or any other sources. Your submission this week is Part 1 of the final project.

The requirements below must be met for your paper to be accepted and graded:

  • Write between 1,000 – 1,250 words (approximately 4 – 6 pages) using Microsoft Word in APA style.
  • Use font size 12 and 1” margins.

  • No more than 20% of your content/information may come from references.
  • Use an appropriate number of references to support your position, and defend your arguments. The following are examples of primary and secondary sources that may be used, and non-credible and opinion based sources that may not be used.
    1. Primary sources such as, government websites (United States Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics, United States Census Bureau, The World Bank, etc.), peer reviewed and scholarly journals in EBSCOhost (Grantham University Online Library) and Google Scholar.
    2. Secondary and credible sources such as, CNN Money, The Wall Street Journal, trade journals, and publications in EBSCOhost (Grantham University Online Library).
    3. Non-credible and opinion based sources such as, Wikis, Yahoo Answers, eHow, blogs, etc. should not be used.

An Interview of Your Choice

An Interview of Your Choice

By Wednesday, October 15, 2014 complete the assignment presented below.

In order to really learn about interviewing, you must
practice doing interviews. There is no substitute for direct experience
in learning about interviewing. This assignment will be the first of
several interviews you conduct during this course.

Find a volunteer to role-play a client. The purpose of
this assignment is to introduce you to the experience of formulating
questions and gathering information during a clinical interview. You
are not expected to have mastered these skills in week 1 nor even by
the end of this course. Clinical interviewing is a skill that requires a
lot of practice and years of training.

Here, you will simply interview the volunteer who is
role-playing a client that is having trouble at work. Be sure to
develop a plan for the interview ahead of time. What is the purpose of
your interview?  How will you achieve that purpose?

Be sure to follow the ethical guidelines you have read
about, including competence, confidentiality, and informed consent. The
interview should be at least 10 minutes in length but no more than 20
minutes.

After you complete your interview, provide a thoughtful discussion of the following:

  • How did you prepare for the interview? Be sure
    to list the questions used in your interview and provide a brief
    summary of the content of your interview.
  • How long was the interview?  How much effort
    was required to keep the interview to the required 10-20 minute
    timeframe?
  • What things made the interview difficult or
    uncomfortable? Be as specific as possible.  For example, were there
    things you or your client said or did during the interview that
    were uncomfortable? 
  • What factors made the interview welcoming and comfortable?  Again be as specific as possible.
  • Did you think you were effective in probing and obtaining information?
  • As appropriate, cite the online content, the
    textbook, and other credible, scholarly sources to substantiate
    the points you are making.
  • Apply APA standards for writing and citations to your work.

The Concepts of Equality and Social Equity

/in /by

H. George Frederickson, expert in the field of public administration, coined the term “social equity,” which urges public administrators not to view individuals within one environment as the same but instead to view them against a backdrop of social and economic factors before assuming equality.

Ideals of equality and social justice form the basis of political philosophy. However, enforcing principles of equality across society often infringes on the liberal concept of social justice. Tensions within social and political relations have led to the creation of international government and nongovernment organizations that seek to maintain ethical standards of equality throughout the world. These ethical standards allow reasonable individuals to maintain their philosophical differences without jeopardizing the greater good of global society.

In this Discussion, you will compare the concepts of equality and social equity, and the role of public administrators in promoting social equity.

Write an IRA (Insights, Resource, and Application) which must include:

  1. Insights: As you read the resources, create bullet points that capture what you have learned about the relationship between equality and social equity, and critical insights you gained from each article. Summarize these key points and insights by using APA format.
  2. Resource: In addition to the assigned readings, share one other resource that amplifies the themes for this week, such as the relationship between equality and social equity. Note a book, article, news items, website, or film with similar ideas, thoughts, and themes. Cite your resource by using APA format, and explain, in no more than three sentences, how this resource is relevant to the assigned readings.
  3. Application: Provide an example from current or past experience (about one paragraph) on a threat to equality or equity. (Multicultural and/or international examples are welcome but not required.) Then, explain a strategy you believe that a public administrator might use to promote equality and equity in this example and explain why you chose this strategy.

Support your postings and responses with specific references to the resources.
