The format of the paper has to be in business bullet formatting. Attached below is an example of the formatting
Also attached is the short case you will need to read for the assignment.
While the case involves a Nursing Home, this could also apply to a Residential Treatment Center where patients stay for a long time e.g., Mental Health, Chronic Drug Use, etc. The text solutions and questions are aimed at using a Team approach as the solution to 3 stated problems. That is NOT my focus in this assignment, but I have no problem if it is a part of your solution(s) to the stated problems, which are:
(1) “Instances of communication breakdown among staff”;
(2) “several instances of medication errors”; and
(3) “Problems concern contract staff not included in the performance management process”
Assess the Case Study with respect to the 3 Problems specified above:
The HR director took 3 actions – Discuss the adequacy or inadequacy of the HR response in resolving the 3 problems.
Does the rating system used or any modifications to it directly address the 3 problems? If “Yes,” state how and if “No” why not?
How would you address the 3 problems directly? [Solutions to problems #1 & #2 should be specific to Ful, Part-Time and Contract staff.
Writing with Bullets
Much of Business writing can be reduced to Bullet Point Narratives
q These are not the same as correspondence in which bullets are used to
hjighlight sub-points, though much of what is below can be used in
these.
q They are targeted business statements on narrowly focused topics.
•
•
They are not sentences or paragraphs with dots in front of them!
They have a clearly stated purpose (in sentence or paragraph format).
•
They are a brief statement or sub-titles E.g. Problems, Issues,
Solutions
They can be bold, italics or underlined
q Separate ideas regarding the purpose are called “Stems”
•
q Actual Bullets are indented statements or fragments with a symbol in
front.
•
They convey key information in support of the stem statement; E.g.
Definitions, Problems and/or Solutions.
• Sub-Bullets are 2nd/3rd indented fragments with different icons
that support the bullet/sub-bullet directly above it.
•
E.g. Statistical, Financial Data or other facts directly linked to the item
above them
q Bullets Use a Consistent Style
•
•
•
Use Sentences, fragments or questions;
Capitalize each bullet point the same way; E.g. The first letter of the
first word;
Punctuate with period if a sentence, question mark, Semi-colon or
nothing if a fragment.
Here is a simple example:
ABUNDANCE The Future is Better Than You Think by Peter H. Diamandis, Steven Kotler
