Ababio Center Addresses Employee-Related Issues

Ababio Center, a social services agency in Adum, Kumasi, provides help to youth and low-income families. The center is funded by Local government, state and local agencies, together with insurers and private donors. The center’s rate of employee turnover recently grew from 41 percent to 72 percent over three years. This compares to national turnover rates between 50 and 60 percent for community health facilities. Ababio also found that employee motivation and engagement declined during the period, as did the quality of service provided. Nana Oye Odame, the HR director for the center, was charged with examining turnover, so she put together a team to examine its causes. The team looked at earlier job satisfaction surveys and exit interviews and identified the following themes:

• People quit because of “demanding work, work/life balance issues relating to night and weekend work, low salaries, on-call responsibilities without additional compensation for certain programs,”

• poor career development opportunities, and lack of support for managers.

Odame did not know how to eliminate these potential causes of turnover. She decided to ask the task force to interview managers from other social service agencies in Kumasi to discover how they were handling similar organizational issues.

Apply the 3-Step Problem-Solving Approach Step 1: Define the problem in this case.

Step 2: Identify the causes. What concepts or theories of OB help to explain the reasons people are quitting?

Step 3: Make your recommendations to resolve the problem.

Home Health of America is about to implement the new EHR. This EHR will be used by all of the nurses, nursing aides, therapists, and other staff members who work with patients in the patient's home. It will also be accessed in the home office for billing and other administrative purposes. The chief executive officer mandated the big bang go-live strategy. He also mandated that the go-live begin on Monday, which is their busiest day. His thoughts were that if the EHR could handle Monday, then it could handle anything. The users ran into several problems on the first day. Some of the functionality did not work, the cellular connections used to connect to the IS did not work at some of the homes, and the documentation was slow, which prevented them from seeing the patients in a timely manner. They had planned for some overtime as they knew that documenting in the new EHR would be slower. The overtime ended up being twice what was expected and they still did not see three of the patients. The decision was made to go back to the paper system while the problems were worked out.

Identify the implementation issues in the case.
