Discussion: Low employee morale and engagement

You have just been hired as a new leader within your department. The department currently has low employee morale and engagement. There is currently a lack of trust due to several business changes within your department, including letting go of several nurses and replacing their positions with LPN’s. Additionally, the volume within your department is below budget, impacting employee’s work schedules, which has also led to decreased engagement.

There have been several leadership changes over the past couple of years within your department and the employees feel as though these changes have led to reduced communication.

Your task as the new leader within your department is to come up with an action plan to address the aforementioned concerns, rebuild trust, and increase employee engagement and morale.

Please be specific with your action items and include pertinent details & timelines that you would use to address the above.

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.
