Community Case Study: Health Promotion - Workplace Wellness

Case Introduction

Sharice Huff, the occupational health nurse at Hoglund-Ward Enterprises, is meeting with Joanne Lambert, the local human resources representative, to discuss the results of the recent needs assessment they’ve conducted to assess employees’ wellness needs.

Hoglund-Ward Enterprises is undertaking a new initiative related to employee health and wellness in the upcoming year. Sharice Huff, the occupational health nurse at Hoglund-Ward, is leading this new initiative. Although the cost of implementing the program is a major consideration, the chief executive officer and board of directors support limited spending for new health and wellness initiatives because they believe it will keep future health care costs down. Several employees have been asked to participate on the health and wellness committee, and together they have decided to conduct a needs assessment to get the employees’ feedback on their wellness needs.

Sharice Huff, the occupational health nurse at Hoglund-Ward Enterprises, is meeting with Joanne Lambert, the local human resources representative, to discuss the results of the recent needs assessment they’ve conducted to assess employees’ wellness needs at both a systems level and an individual level. Chief among the employees’ concerns are the following: encouraging active lifestyles, promoting smoking cessation strategies, and supporting nutritional health.

Questions for students:

   1. What sorts of initiatives can companies pursue to improve employee health and wellness?

   2. Based on what you understand about a needs assessment, what issues and topics should be included in the needs

   assessment survey?

   3. Discuss the role of a wellness committee in a workplace setting. Who should be on the committee?

   4. How is the public health intervention “coalition building” accomplished through the activities of a workplace wellness

   committee?

   5. How is motivational interviewing used by an occupational health nurse?

   6. Why is workplace health so important?

Leadership in Accreditation. As a new university Dean, you learn that two of the three programs in your school did not pass an accrediting review. The school has already implemented three different programs to assist in addressing the issues, but the consultant hired to assist with the remediation process, has told you that these options are still insufficient. What next steps would you recommend be implemented to ensure the programs meet accrediting requirements? Funding is limited, faculty are resistant to more changes, and graduate assistants are no longer available.

In your response to these questions, list models, theories, and authors that you believe to be relevant to the questions. Also, list all standards that may be applicable to the questions and how they apply to your answer-see standards of Education listed below to assist with the answer:

Margin, Turnover, Return on Investment, Average Operating Assets

Elway Company provided the following income statement for the last year:

At the beginning of last year, Elway had $38,624,000 in operating assets. At the end of the year, Elway had $41,390,000 in operating assets.

Required:

1. Compute average operating assets.
$

2. Compute the margin (as a percent) and turnover ratios for last year. If required, round your answers to two decimal places.

3. Compute ROI as a percent. Use the part 2 final answers in these calculations and round the final answer to two decimal places.
%

4. ROI measures a company’s ability to generate income  relative to its investment in assets. The greater the ROI, the more  efficiently the company is generating from its assets.

5. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Comment on why the ROI for Elway Company is relatively high (as compared to the lower ROI of a typical manufacturing company).

1. Elway Company might be a service organization with relatively few physical assets required to generate its sales revenue and income. ROI will be higher when the factors that create a company’s sales or income are not formally recognized as assets (e.g. human talent).
2. Elway Company might be a service organization with relatively few physical assets required and generates an income much higher than any manufacturing organization. ROI will be higher when the factors that create a company’s sales or income are not formally recognized as assets (e.g. human talent).
3. Elway Company might be a service organization with relatively few physical assets required and generates an income much higher than any manufacturing organization. ROI will be higher when the factors that create a company’s sales or income are not formally recognized as assets (e.g. goodwill).

The following is just a suggestion of what your presentation outline should at least have: I. Introduction. Description of the Country – map of location; brief history of the country; flag and currency of the country; principal languages spoken. II. Selected Demographic, Health and income-inequality indicators; Human Development Index – These topics are covered in Section 2 of the course. You should read up what these indicators mean. This is where you learn something new. Be sure to visit www.cia.gov; www.who.int; www.unicef.org; www.undp.org; www.fao.org. If you choose a country in the Caribbean, you should also check out the website of www.paho.org. III. Non-Profit Organization and Micro-credit Financing. Look up or describe a nonprofit organization (NPO) doing microcredit financing work in that country – get info on History of the organization and micro-credit activities, how their system works, how it benefit the borrowers, how many borrowers benefit from the program, what kind of enterprises (give examples) were developed as a result of the micro-credit financing. IV. Major National Issues, epidemics, public health concerns or Humanitarian Crisis the Country is facing - Describe briefly. This section can be presented in the beginning, before micro-credit financing and right after the Health, income inequality, and Human Development section of your report. It does not have to come at the end. But sometimes, it may fit better at the end. Again, this thinking process is your group’s decision. V. Challenges and Prospects – What are some of the problems encountered in this type of loan program and how would you improve the situation. This is where you show your ability to analyze, and creativity in making changes or improvements to other people’s lives.  

I only need the answer for partV about challenges and prospects and showing some of health indicator about 250 words thank you

SUMMARY

This discussion is prompted by two articles. The first article entitled “Genetic variation in chromosome Y regulates susceptibility to influenza A virus infection” by Krementsov et al. introduces the genetic components of human susceptibility to Influenza A virus. The second paper by Lindor et al discusses questions surrounding the increasing genome sequencing information available to healthy individuals.

Several issues arise from the availability of detailed health information including concerns about discrimination and stigmas, as well as the impact on the psychological well-being of those found to be at increased risk for infections, diseases, or conditions. Such sensitive health information also poses ethical, legal, and social challenges for the management of such information (who has access, who is allowed to view such information). The applications of personalized genome information require care and expertise in interpreting genetic data and implementing, for example, changes in lifestyle and behavior.

The background reading includes first, an article titled “Ethical Consequences of Full Human Genome Testing” which discusses privacy concerns over the handling of such genomic information (which may include the quality of individual responses to disease treatment, their health susceptibilities, predictions of their future disease likelihood, their carrier status for certain genetic disease alleles, etc.). Second, an issue brief regarding workplace wellness health screening programs and the rights of workers regarding this information titled “Changing Rules for Workplace Wellness Programs: Implications for Sensitive Health Conditions”.

DISCUSSION PROMPTS

1. After receiving personalized genomic information, how might you use such knowledge with respect to your own health?
2. Would a genetically tested family member providing children or other family members with information regarding genetic information (such as carrier status) be desirable?
3. Might such testing be used as a prerequisite for employment, spousal selection, marriage, adoption, or IVF embryo implantation

At the core of financialization is the idea that organizations should be managed as though maximizing the shareholders’ financial wealth is the only possible or legitimate goal (Cardao-Pito, 2017) At least, that has been the mantra for most businesses for a long time. It is the duty of company management to maximize shareholder wealth. In 1954, Peter Drucker had argued that “There is only one valid purpose of a corporation, to create a customer.” If the customer’s needs are met, then the shareholder’s needs will in due course also be met. When customers are delighted, the firm makes more money and can afford to pay workers more and meet the needs of other stakeholders. Moreover, customer capitalism is intrinsically moral: human beings are creating value for other human beings. (Denning, 2019)

There are advantages of wealth maximization include increased return, a consistent strategic focus, and making decisions that are based on data. Disadvantages can include the potential for unethical business practices, stock price manipulation, and refraining from investing in employees to save in labor costs. “Companies that deliver value to shareholders while destroying value for other stakeholders have a fundamentally flawed business model. Those that create value for stakeholders are cultivating sources of extra value that can fuel competitive advantage for years to come. Sustainable value occurs only when a company creates value that is positive for its shareholders and its stakeholders.” (Laszlo et al, 2005) Companies that have a positive impact on the stakeholders put themselves in position to create future value which in turn helps maximize wealth for shareholders as well as employees in the company.

Required :

compare and contrast the above view on shareholder maximization with your own. Support your position by offering a counterpoint or resources from which your peers can derive additional knowledge.

Comment on this passage, the response must be at least 125 words.

2.1 The Allegory of the Cave is the reflection of an idea by Plato. He describes the human world as a group of persons living in a sunken cave with only a glimpse of sunlight as they watch normal life reside above them. Not knowing everything thing that is apparent to those outside of the cave it would be impossible for a human of the cave to venture to the above world and instantly be familiar with everything around him and everything he saw. It would take time and getting familiar with those things. And in retrospect could that person return to the cave and say he was as good at living in the cave in which they stayed as those that never went outside.

This allegory was Plato’s explanation to the need for a sense of understanding of a Form of good that can be found in the world of knowledge. To find this good one must one must first identify themselves as willing to search for it. “But whether true or false, my opinion is that in the world of knowledge the Form of the Good appears last of all, and is seen only with an effort.” (Plato, 2018). After finding the form of good a person can envision themselves as a part of a good reality that knows the form of good to acquire a more fulfilling wisdom. And until then they could not become wise.

I returned to cave that I had not been back to for a long time when I was visiting my high school. There was a lot that had changed since I had been there before. Except for the location it was completely different with new buildings and more classrooms. The students also tend to seem a lot younger than they did when I was a student there. The behavior of the students was a lot different also. As time passes the way a school evolves says a lot about how much more students are capable of in later generations compared to prior ones.

Do a study of the two-point threshold. Have a friend take a pair of scissors and, with the blades closed, touch you lightly on the forearm with the points while your eyes are closed. Have your friend open the blades slightly and touch you with both points at the same time. Have your friend continue to spread the blades and touch you just to the point at which you can feel both blades. Now measure the distance between the points of the scissor blades. This is the two-point threshold. Repeat this procedure for different parts of your body (e.g., finger, palm, neck, back, foot, thigh). Record your measurements of the two-point thresholds for each body part. Thinking carefully about what you have learned about the brain in this experiment, write up your results and try to explain them. (Note: You do not need to know anything about touch sensation to write this essay.) Be sure to address the following questions: Does the two-point threshold differ across your body? Report your actual measurements of the two-point threshold and use those measurements as the basis of your discussion. Given what you know about the brain, why might the differences that you found exist? Imagine that you had suffered damage to some specific part of your cerebral cortex. Would your ability to detect touches on your skin be impaired? Might this depend on which part(s) of your cortex had been damaged? Explain. Why do you think certain body parts might be "overrepresented" in the human cortex? (Hint: One way to think about this question is to consider why having certain parts of the body be overrepresented in the brain might be adaptive? What in human experience could have lead those parts to be overrepresented?)
