Professor and class,
To address Miss Laird’s concerns during the planning committee meeting, Ms. Morehouse should propose implementing a comprehensive plan that includes:
Noise Mitigation: Schedule construction activities during non-peak hours or when residents are least affected, use noise-reducing equipment, and erect sound barriers around the construction area.
Dust Control: Implement dust control, measures such as using dust screens, sealing off construction area, and regularly cleaning the site to minimize dust accumulation.
Security Measures: Enhance security by limiting access to the construction site, installing surveillance cameras, and ensuring proper supervision of workers to prevent any unauthorized entry or incidents.
Communication Plan: Develop a communication strategy to keep residents, staff, and families informed about the construction schedule, potential disruptions, and safety precautions.
Emergency Preparedness: Have protocols in place to handle emergencies such as evacuation procedures in case of unforeseen events during construction.
This comprehensive plan addresses Miss Laird’s concerns by providing practical solutions to mitigate noise, dust, and security issues during the construction phase. By implementing these measures, the impact on residents, staff, and operations can be minimized, ensuring a smooth renovation process. Additionally, clear communication and emergency preparedness contribute to maintaining safety and transparency throughout the project.

A key to tackling the talent war in the health sector is strategic planning for succession. At any given time, a senior member of your team could resign or suffer an unexpected health emergency. The only way to move forward without major organizational disruption is through planning for such occurrences. In this assessment, you will gain experience benchmarking succession planning strategies based on current trends.
Assume your highest performing tenured manager of a 20-person department unexpectedly submitted her 2 weeks’ notice. Your next most tenured employee in the department has only 2 years of experience and is not ready to assume the position at this time. Additionally, there is a major health care organization in your area that seems to have the first pick when recruiting the talent you really need. The executive team for your organization has asked you to address this situation.
Read “The 9-Box Grid & the Performance-Values Matrix” from WorkDove.
Develop a 1,050- to 1,400-word strategic succession plan that addresses the following:
Priorities and steps to mitigate the impact of your employee’s rapid departure
A proposed recruitment plan to fill the managerial position
A preboarding checklist and onboarding plan covering an employee’s first 30, 90, and 180 days with performance metrics
Succession plan policies and practices that could be put in place to proactively avoid this situation
How the proposed plan aligns to current trends in the health care industry
