Prompt:

Consider the case example “Hidden Informal Policies” on p. 210 of your textbook, Generalist Practice with Organizations and Communities (8th edition). If you were the worker at the VA hospital, how would you feel? How could you prevent such an “Oops” experience?

Assume that you (the new staff member at VA) and the physical therapist do some research and determine that staff turnover, particularly within the first six months on the job, is high. The two of you decide that you want to focus on organizational culture and ways to better socialize new staff when they are new to the job, with an anticipated outcome of increasing staff retention. Drawing from steps outlined in the text and the Martin chapter on organizational culture, briefly describe one strategy you might recommend and how you would implement it.

As part of this assignment, craft an email that you and the physical therapist would send to promote your idea. (Think about organizational culture, to whom you would first contact/send this email, and the sensitivity required in suggesting organizational change within the hospital.)

Your Tasks:

Please submit one original post (400-500 words). Cite the text and the Martin chapter when appropriate. Although you must cite the text and the Martin chapter at a minimum to receive full credit for this assignment, you may also cite one or two additional relevant peer-reviewed journal articles if you wish.

Prior to submitting your posts, check them for appropriate grammar, usage and spelling. In the field of social work it is important to be able to communicate effectively when writing as well as when speaking. Errors in these areas will result in a lower grade for your discussion posts.
