Read/ answer questions below:
Why a Focus on Diversity and Inclusion Is Vital to Health Care Companies
Corporate America is learning that our responsibilities to our stakeholders are multifaceted and interconnected. When we strive for a diverse and inclusive workplace, it benefits everyone — workforce, clients, shareholders, vendors, and communities local and global.
This may be most important in the health care industry, where the workforce needs to be both clinically adept and socially empathetic to serve their increasingly diverse communities.
Focusing on diversity and inclusion is absolutely necessary to access and engage the very best talent available. As everybody should know by now, a company’s workforce is the most critical ingredient in its ability to succeed.
We can’t possibly have the very best team unless we are tapping into the widest and deepest pool of workers available. If any group is not engaged or left out, excellent job candidates with unique experiences and opinions are lost. That means we must be deliberately inclusive to find, hire and retain the top quality workers.
As the leading health care staffing and workforce solutions company, AMN provides a wide variety of health care professionals to clients in all 50 states, from major urban medical centers to home health care companies to rural clinics, while also delivering complex and advanced services ranging from predictive analytics to mid-revenue cycle management. To provide the greatest support to health care organizations, so that they in turn can provide the highest quality patient care, we must have the very best team.
The health care industry we serve is very diverse. Among the overall workforce, 76 percent of people who work at hospitals are women and about 35 percent are black, Asian or Latino, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The percentage of women in health care is higher than any other industry and our team should reflect the clients we serve.
External stakeholders, like vendors, partners and investors, are looking for value and performance, which are directly dependent on a company building the very best team possible. These stakeholders are also looking for companies that they can be proud of — companies that share their values. Many stakeholders today want to know a company’s diversity numbers up front, to ascertain both the company’s value and its values.
For our team members to do their very best work, they must be engaged. Many women, people of various races and ethnicities, and LGBTQ individuals have been excluded or undervalued in business for a long time.
Inclusion must be an action verb. Diversity and inclusion must be actively interwoven into the fabric of company culture so that all people feel like they belong in the workplace — and that they can succeed there. This effort has to start at the top. It can’t just be a few programs; it must be a fundamental part of the corporate framework.
To be able to track your progression it is important to establish the demographic metrics of your team and regularly check your numbers. Diversity and inclusion are not abstract concepts. They are quantifiable, and a company must keep track to know whether they are making progress.
AMN Healthcare has been striving for gender equality for decades, and more recently has been working harder on other areas of inclusion. In the spirit of transparency, here are the AMN numbers as of April 2018:
- 66 percent of our entire team companywide is women.
- 62 percent of our supervisors and senior managers are women.
- Our executive team includes women as CEO, general counsel, chief clinical officer, chief talent officer, and divisional or brand presidents.
- 34 percent of our entire team is nonwhite.
- Our team is 56 percent Millennials, 34 percent Generation X and 11 percent baby boomers.
We’re pretty proud of our gender diversity. But we know we can improve in other areas. And we need to enhance the culture and spirit of inclusion companywide. So here are some of the things we are doing:
- Talent acquisition strategy for diversity, including metrics on diverse candidate slates.
- Employee resource groups to support a variety of groups and to help the company become a better place for everybody to work.
- Diversity champions and committees.
- Companywide engagement survey that includes questions about diversity and inclusion.
- Unconscious bias training.
- Support for and membership in the Gender Equality Index and Human Rights Campaign Index.
- Increasing diversity among our suppliers.
- Promoting a commitment to diversity externally, particularly in the communities where our team members live.
Diversity and inclusion are the right thing for our team members, our communities and our country. And for our company value and performance. The growing commitment to diversity and inclusion in corporate America is making the workplace a better place.

CarpetPlus sells and installs floor covering for commercial
buildings. Brad Sweeney, a CarpetPlus account executive, was just
awarded the contract for five jobs. Brad must now assign a
CarpetPlus installation crew to each of the five jobs. Because the
commission Brad will earn depends on the profit CarpetPlus makes,
Brad would like to determine an assignment that will minimize total
installation costs. Currently, five installation crews are
available for assignment. Each crew is identified by a color code,
which aids in tracking of job progress on a large white board. The
following table shows the costs (in hundreds of dollars) for each
crew to complete each of the five jobs:
Job
Crew 1 2 3 4 5
Red 30 44 38 47 31
White 25 32 45 44 25
Blue 23 40 37 39 29

As a business manager, you may encounter situations that require a wide variety of communication responses. For this assessment, you will be creating a portfolio of communication documents. Please appropriately format each communication for the message type.
Scenario 3:
You are a manager of a research company. Your research team has developed a transition package that allows a gas-powered engine to transition to running on biofuels. The availability and low cost of biofuels make the transition package a potential game changer in the automobile market. You have named the product Sparkit.
In addition to tests completed by your staff, you have partnered with a large automobile producer to ensure the transition package works with many different types of vehicles. The large automobile producer remains a partner in the product as a result of their involvement, and you anticipate that future vehicles from the producer may use the technology when initially built. With the producer's assistance, you anticipate 50% of cars currently on the road can potentially be retrofitted with your product. The producer has created a guide for your sales force to ensure that Sparkit is not sold to customers whose cars are not compatible with the product.
This is the first big product developed by your company. Your sales and service teams do not have current relationships with potential buyers. One potential risk is that purchasers may choose to install the transition package on their own rather than choose a knowledgeable automotive professional to install it. You anticipate there may be issues with installation as a result.
The success of Sparkit relies upon an external business partner, Autojor, who manufactures a filter critical to the proper operation of the transition package. As the result of a natural disaster, Autojor recently lost a manufacturing plant that was responsible for producing 25% of your inventory. You will need to work closely with this partner to ensure their manufacturing operation is able to continue supporting the just-in-time environment to meet sales demands. Your contact’s name at Autojor is Mateo Kalani.
You have received a customer complaint via the company’s social media page. The customer is extremely dissatisfied, and the complaint has negatively impacted the company’s image. The customer’s complaint is as follows: “I bought and installed Sparkit. It doesn’t work! The instructions do not match my engine’s layout, and now my car doesn’t work at all. This was supposed to save me money, but now my car won’t run. I’ll have to put more money into getting it fixed. This is ridiculous. I have told all my friends, and now I am telling the world—do not buy this product! If you do, you will regret it.”
Requirements Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. An originality report is provided when you submit your task that can be used as a guide. You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course. Create a portfolio of communication documents based on one of the scenarios by doing the following:
Compose an informational email to external stakeholders (i.e., investors, shareholders) that discusses two distinct organizational and/or financial impacts the product will create.
Compose a persuasive letter to the business partner to discuss their challenges in meeting your production needs.
Evaluate the communication strategies and methods (i.e., email, letter, blog, and social media) used in items A–E by doing the following: Explain how the communication strategies support or do not support the desired outcomes and provide examples to support your conclusion. Explain how the four communication methods effectively or ineffectively serve the target audience and provide examples to support your conclusion.
Acknowledge sources, using APA-formatted in-text citations and references, for content that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized.
Demonstrate professional communication in the content and presentation of your submission.
