...Managing Staff HCA/270 Managing Staff Introduction Health care managers play an important role in health care “by assuming leadership and management responsibilities for multiple units and departments. Managers in health care organizations spend significant amounts of time and place high value on communication, problem solving and decision making, collaboration with other disciplines, people development, staffing and cost containment.” ("Health Care Managers' and Administrators' Roles, Functions, and Responsibilities.” 1999). With these responsibilities managers also need to watch over productive and nonproductive time. According to Baker & Baker “productive time actually equates to the employee’s net hours on duty when performing the functions in his or her job description. Nonproductive time is paid-for time when the employee is not on duty: that is, not producing and therefore “nonproductive.” Paid-for vacation days, holidays, personal leave days, and/or sick days are all nonproductive time” (p 96.). Cost Tied to Staffing Health care facilities have a constant fluctuation of patient flow, and it is the manager’s job to make sure that these facilities are properly staffed so that patients can be cared for. These fluctuations can be caused by the spread of viruses like the flu and other illnesses. Wide spread illness can cause health care facilities to become extremely busy very quickly. A way for health care managers to help prepare for these fluctuations can...

...the consideration has ‘something of value in the eye of the law’ to support the bargain, the courts will not concern themselves with its adequacy and the relative values exchanged. Therefore, it can be argued that if a party does, or promises to do something, which he is already bound to do, he then provides no consideration for the promise. In Stilk v Myrick, two sailors deserted during a voyage, the master promising to apportion the deserters’ wages amongst the remaining sailors if they would sail the ship home safely. The courts held that the claim for additional wages must fail since no consideration had been provided in performing the existing contractual obligation which was to get the ship home. On this basis, it can be argued that John has performed no more than his contractual duty and Consequently;, he has no sufficient consideration for the bonus money. However, a more recent “refinement and limitation” to the rule in Stilk made In Williams v Roffey Bro & Nicholls(Contractors) Ltd , has fundamentally altered our perception of the doctrine of consideration. In this case, the defendant was a firm of builders contracted to refurbish blocks of flats, the carpentry being subcontracted to the plaintiff that encountered financial difficulties and fell behind schedule. As a result, the defendant was supposed to pay damages under the contract and, accordingly, it offered the plaintiff additional amounts to finish the work on time. However, on the completion of the work...

...to issues relating to client retention and acquisition strategies. At present, Convergys classifies its customer accounts into 3 tiers: A, B & C. “A” customers are considered to be of highest value, followed by “B” and “C” customers. Although the idea of internally segmenting customers to most effectively allocate company resources (to maximize profit) is sound, the segmentation strategy ought to be well designed and it must incorporate metrics that reflect specific attributes of the industries being served, while at the same time aligning with Convergys’ overall philosophy and business objectives (such as growth, for example). As evidenced by the continuous decline in Convergys’ operating margins over the past 5 years, contrasted with the high quality service it provides and the growth of the specific companies and industries it services, it is apparent that Convergys’ approach to growth is not particularly effective. In this case analysis, we will provide recommendations on strategies Convergys could implement to better segment and service key customers, which should hopefully result in a reversal in its operating margin decrease trend and by helping to increase sales through new customer retention and acquisition. 2. The measures of Economic Value (EV) and Relationship Value (RV) as proposed by Carlson offer both pros and cons worth considering. A high level analysis of...

...considering Sullivan University. First, Sullivan is unique among institutions of higher education with its innovative, career-first curriculum. You can earn a career diploma or certificate in a year or less and then accept employment while still being able to complete your associate, bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degree by attending during the day, evenings, weekends, or online. Business and industry do not expand or hire new employees only in May or June each year. Yet most institutions of higher education operate on a nine-month school year with almost everyone graduating in May. We remained focused on your success and education, and continue to offer our students the opportunity to begin classes or to graduate four times a year with our flexible, year-round full-time schedule of classes. If you really want to attend a school where your needs (your real needs) come first, consider Sullivan University. I believe we can help you exceed your expectations. Since words cannot fully describe the atmosphere at Sullivan University, please accept my personal invitation to visit and experience our campus for yourself. Sincerely, Glenn D.
