Stark Engineering Solutions Melbourneknew it had a problem with recruitment when it began to lose track of its job applicants’ Curriculum Vitae’s (CV’s or resume). It frequently called the same candidates for an interview twice and from time to time, sought to interview people it had already employed. HR staff would spend up to two hours looking for an individual CV’s for a given job.

The company had existed for around 4 years and had grown very rapidly. It had around 2000 employees but planned to expand this to 6000 over the next three years. The business, with 4 offices in major Australian cities, intended to take on approximately some extra 200 employees each quarter.

The Human Resources recruitment team had started with 2 members and had grown to 12 people across the four offices. The bigger it grew, the greater the chaos and confusion. The recruitment database was maintained in an MS Excel spreadsheet and was not coordinated between the 4 offices. They were receiving an average of1000 CV’s per month – via email or in the form of the hard copy sent by candidates or by recruitment firms – for an average of around 60 vacancies across all 4 offices at any given time.

An internal review demonstrated that the company had to standardise its recruitment processes and reduce duplication. The cost per hire needed to be cut and the overall quality of the talent hired by the business needed to rise.

The company felt that these improvements would help speed response times and promote a positive image. They could also help to improve the efficiency of the recruitment staff. Stark Engineering believed that the adoption of an online recruitment platform would improve the shortlisting process and boost candidate confidentiality. It could, in time, ensure a greater diversity of job applicants.

What are 3 potential legal issues and 3 solutions that must be discussed and analyzed in this passage?
A 40-year-old female patient requested examination by a family physician after she discovered her husband had hidden from her that he had multiple STDs, including venereal warts, caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). On the patient’s first visit, a pap smear and STD tests were performed. The STD tests came back positive for both HPV and chlamydia. In addition, the pap smear showed cervical abnormalities.
The patient was referred to a specialist for follow-up care, and a biopsy confirmed the presence of cervical cancer. Both the specialist and the family physician reached out to the patient to discuss the results. Additionally, the family physician reported the chlamydia result to the local health department.
After ignoring multiple calls and messages, the patient returned the calls of both physicians and informed them she would treat the chlamydia but was not interested in pursuing any treatment for the cancer. Both physicians were highly uncomfortable with this decision, as the patient was only 40 and the cancer was treatable. They contacted a local judge to discuss options for making the patient pursue treatment because they felt the she was making the wrong decision.
Simultaneously, a medical assistant in the family physician’s office noticed the patient’s biopsy results come through on the fax machine. The medical assistant revealed information about the patient’s condition to some of her friends, all of whom knew the patient from church. The patient found out that her medical information had been disclosed when her name ended up on her church’s prayer list in the weekly bulletin, listing her as battling cervical cancer.
The patient was eventually able to identify the source of the leak, and she subsequently filed a HIPAA privacy complaint with the Office of Civil Rights of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services naming the medical assistant and the family physician’s office.
The family physician’s office learned of the privacy complaint and promptly sent the patient a letter terminating her from any future services.

Care provided in this capacity is done through clinics such as 24-hour urgent care centers and minute clinics provided through local pharmacies or community locations. These facilities increase access to care at affordable rates and in convenient locations. Scenario You are the Director of Human Resources for a small rural care center. Your Care Center Administrator (CNA) visited your office today with some issues regarding the high turnover of CNAs in all seven nursing wings. She has been experiencing this phenomenon with her CNAs the past 3 months, thus decreasing overall patient quality care, along with adversely affecting the labor budget due to numerous call-offs from the CNAs. When added to the high cost of using registered nurses, this is a serious issue. None of her nursing supervisors can explain the reasons for the turnover, but only provide feedback that your organization is hiring the “bad ones.” She is asking for your ideas on how the care center can recruit and retain more talented and devoted CNAs. You perform an immediate cursory assessment of the turnover and determine that, at the current rate, there will be 100% loss/turnover of CNAs this year. This initiates an emergency meeting with the Ad- ministrator, Director of Nursing, the Assistant Directors of Nursing, the Staffing Coordinator/Scheduler, and three charge nurses. The purpose of the meeting is to determine why your facility is losing so many CNAs, especially when compared to similar care centers in the area. Question 1 In your capacity as Director of Human Resources, what steps would you take to determine why the employees are leaving? How will you be able to identify if this is a management issue, labor market issue, compensation issue, or a combination of issues? What questions would you ask team members? Are these questions different for each role? What strategies from the assigned course reading would you implement? Question 2 What questions would you ask team members? Are the questions different for each role? What strate- gies from the assigned course reading would you implement?

Please write down your response after reading the paragraphs. (at least 5 sentences long, 150-200 words)

By Murphy’s Law, anything that can go wrong will go wrong. Throughout history, there have been multiple technological disasters due to errors in overlooking safety precautions, errors in manufacturing, or when a piece of the machinery simply gives out. The most advanced model of some sort of technology could be highly praised for its innovation, yet at some point, something is bound to go wrong. In the TED Talk, by Sam Harris, Harris addresses the issues concerning AI and how they are something to be feared. I agree with the all too science fiction dilemmas AIs bring into society, and he brings up many interesting points. Artificial Intelligence encompasses such wonder and hope for a smarter future. Yet so ironically, it should be something people fear. There are too many people who praise the great unknown capacity artificial intelligence has. People have been growingly dependent on technology and do not realize how easily it can control us. AI most definitely has the possibility to “annihilate… without a qualm” the way Harris explains humans destroy ants once the ants get in their way (Harris). Many people, however, feel that we are still doing the research and our world is far from that. However, Harris also discusses how assessing the amount of time it would take us to actually create such advanced AI is futile for “when we continue to improve our machines, we will produce superintelligence” (Harris). More concerning, once we have this superintelligence, how can society be reassured that it is safe and that us as a human race will not be controlled by it. Furthermore, there are many issues we need to address in our society that cannot be fixed by an AI. I feel that by human nature, humans can become too obsessed with trying to reach such heights they believe AI represent, and instead, we need to look introspectively on how we can improve society independent of superintelligence.
