Changing economic conditions are commonplace in the current global marketplace. With these changing economic conditions come changes in the services needed. This leads, in turn, to a need for staff development to adequately provide these new services. This staff development must be fiscally sound in order for the organization to remain viable while preparing staff members to provide these services. In this assignment, you will interview a health care executive to determine how to navigate this uncertain terrain of economics and staff development.

Directions:

Interview a health care executive at any type of health care organization. This should be done in person, by phone, or by video conferencing and not via email exchange. During the interview, ask the executive the following questions:

What was the greatest economic challenge you faced in your position over the last 5 years?
What changes were necessary as a result of that challenge?
What staff development strategies were used to equip staff to adapt to the required changes?
How was the staff development funded?
How did staff react to the change? What were the positives and negatives seen by the staff?
Write a paper of (1,000-1,250 words) that synthesizes the findings of your interview. Do the following in your paper:

Identify the individual who was interviewed. Provide the individual’s name, company, title, and e-mail address.
Summarize the challenge discussed in the interview.
Summarize the changes that resulted from the challenge.
Summarize the reaction of the staff to the changes.
Provide a research-based evaluation of the changes that were made. Were they necessary and appropriate? Why or why not? Did the changes meaningfully contribute to the organization’s sustainability? Why or why not?
Provide a research-based evaluation of the staff development that was conducted as a result of the changes. What staff development strategies were used? Were these appropriate? Why or why not? Was the staff development appropriately funded? Why or why not? (Benchmarks 12.3: Analyze strategies of fiscally sound staff development.)

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
