In an organization, specifically a health care one, the need for highly skilled and motivated employees is pivotal. Due to the state of the job market and the pool of people looking for jobs, it is important for a health care manager not to settle on average applicants in order to fill up space in the office, rather they need to hire multifaceted people, with the following qualities: sharp attention to detail, excellent communication skills, commitment to the mission and vision of the organization, interpersonal skills, excellent organizational skills, and a good team spirit. If a healthcare organization suffers from an unenthusiastic staff that means that the manager did not hire the most qualified people. Making sure that applicants fit into the organizational structure is key, and in order to determine this, a manager should go through multiple rounds of interviews in order to ensure an optimal fit. Hiring highly motivated and skilled staff is a wise use of resources, because at the end of the…

They do, however face this challenge in a positive manner as it may be ways for them to think creatively and to be innovative.…
Mr. Carl Robins, who is a new campus recruiter for ABC, Inc., fell short on planning and execution of the new employee orientation. His lack of planning and execution could imply that either Carl is not fully qualified, or ABC, Inc. does not have a very solid mentoring program. Being a new employee of only six months, Carl's supervisor/manager should have been monitoring Carl's planning of the new employee's orientation and offer assistance if needed.…
It is the responsibility of the organization to develop employees in a way that maintains and increases motivation, job satisfaction, and performance. The best way to begin this is through the selection process by offering candidates personality test or expanding the interview panel to include additional peers or leaders to provide feedback to ensure the company and candidate are the right fit for one another. The organization has a responsibility to provide new employees with a clear view of what he or she needs to perform in his or her role, provide an avenue for employees to communicate…
It is the first day of your new job. After arriving, suddenly you flashback to the last time you were in this situation. A dreadful feeling comes over as you recall how boring and useless that first week was. Five days of your life you will never get back. It was so awful; the thought of turning around and leaving crosses your mind. Is this job really worth it? Little do you know that this time it will be different because you are working for Peabody Energy.

New research has proven that there are better ways to introduce new employees to a company than have been practiced in the past (Hemsley, 2012).…
My workplace environment at one time was a pleasant place to be. All the employees got along and worked together very well. We were a team and like to help each other out when one was in need. It was like clock work. We would go to work wanting to be there to do our jobs because we all knew we would have fun throughout the day while we were working. Then a new manager or I will call him my supervisor joined the team. It was not planned, we knew our store needed some help but the employees did not know for definite when we would be getting a new supervisor. The first day was like any usual first day. Meeting the employees, learning the names and a little bit about each person. After observing my new supervisor for a couple of hours I felt as if he was in a hurry to get the first day work out of the way and leave. He did not seem the least bit interested in the people he was going to be working with for over eight hours a day. I blew off my thoughts and felt it was too early to judge the situation. Well I was wrong to blow off my feelings, because I was right to think something was not quite right about this man. During his training he did not want any one below his position to help him out. If he was having troubles with the computer he had to go to the General Manager or another supervisor even though the employees probably know the computers just as well as managers because we use them all day long. He would look for thirty minutes for something in dry storage before he ever asked an employee. I personally thought that was unusual, not asking for help unless it was management. It seems like to me that it would have made him feel less superior if he had to ask one of his employees for help. At that point I knew working with this particular supervisor would not be pleasant. As time went on the situations got…
It is my first day of work. I am nervous. This is the new job with the better hours that I wanted. This job will challenge me as well as to be able to work with people, to make a difference in the world. There is a lot of staff in this department. I know I will be working with a partner but I do not know who. I am to meet the manager in her office and my day will begin from there. For a brief moment as I open the door to this big building I question what am I doing here? I take a deep breath, find my smile, take a step forward and this new chapter in my life begins. The first hour of the day is what any first day is a quick tour of the area, where my locker will be, the names of too many people that I will not remember tomorrow…

The beginning is a place where we all have to start at some point in our lives. It could be the beginning of a marriage, a relationship, a business, a pregnancy, or a job. The one thing all these relationships would have in common is that you don’t know what it’s going to be like. We all have our expectations; in courtship, before marriage, research and planning, before starting a business, and the interview before starting the job. Not even the interview and the expectations of my job role, would have prepared me for the strange task I was faced with on my first day on a new job.…
