ntroduction

Note: Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.

Your application of the PICOT approach to developing your problem statement and the research that you conducted and synthesized in your literature review are the foundation and framework that you will need to successfully build your intervention plan. This plan will lay out specific components of the intervention you are planning to address the need you have identified for the target population and setting. You will justify your approach to the intervention plan by integrating appropriate theoretical foundations. You will also analyze and address the needs of stakeholders, requirements of regulatory bodies, and ethical and legal considerations. It is important to have a sound intervention plan design in place before trying to work on the details of implementation and evaluation.

Preparations

  • Read Guiding Questions: Intervention Plan Design [DOC]. This document is designed to give you questions to consider and additional guidance to help you successfully complete this assessment.
  • As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.
    • What theoretical nursing models, strategies from other disciplines, and health care technologies could help support or justify your approach to the intervention plan?
    • What evidence from the literature or best practice supports the intervention plan components you identified?
    • What, if any, potential is there for technology to help in the development or implementation of the intervention plan components?
    • What is the impact of stakeholders, health care policy, or regulations?
    • Are there any ethical or legal considerations related to the development or implementation of the intervention plan components that need to be kept in mind? If so, what are they?

Instructions

The results show that the organization encourages collaborative decision-making, where multiple stakeholders, including employees, have a say in important matters. This can lead to a more inclusive and democratic decision-making process. Members are actively involved in creating and shaping workplace policies. This involvement ensures that policies reflect the needs and preferences of those who work within the organization. The organization recognizes the importance of periodically reviewing its policies to remain relevant and practical. This proactive approach helps in identifying areas that may need improvement or adjustment. The organization is also open to revising policies as necessary. This flexibility allows for adaptation to changing circumstances or feedback from members.

Members of the organization share a vision and mission based on trust, respect, and collegiality. Communication at all levels of the organization is transparent, direct, and respectful. The organizational culture is assessed on an ongoing basis, and measures are taken to improve it based on the results of that assessment.

surprisingly “Most employees did not recommend the organization as a good or great place to work to their family and friends.” This suggests that despite some positive aspects mentioned in the assessment, many employees are dissatisfied to the point where they would not recommend the organization to others. This could indicate a significant issue with the workplace culture or conditions that may need urgent attention.

Another surprising thing is that “Individual and collective achievements are not celebrated and publicized equitably.” This lack of recognition and celebration of achievements can harm employee morale and motivation. It is surprising because recognizing and celebrating accomplishments is common in many organizations to boost employee engagement and satisfaction.

Before the assessment, I had an idea that “Communication at all levels of the organization is transparent, direct, and respectful.” the assessment confirms this aspect as it indicates that the organization values open and respectful communication and is seen as a positive sign, as effective communication is crucial for building trust and a healthy workplace culture (Dempsey & Assi, 2018).

It is evident from the findings that my workplace is civil because it values employees, fosters a positive and inclusive culture, invests in employee development, and prioritizes their well-being. Such an environment will likely attract and retain talented individuals and contribute to the organization’s long-term success.

The assessment also shows that my workplace is characterized by trust, respect, engagement, and a positive culture providing a healthy working environment. However, it is essential to continue monitoring and addressing any potential areas for improvement to sustain this healthy and civil work environment.

The concepts presented in the articles appear to be related to organizational culture and employee satisfaction. A healthy organizational culture that aligns with employees’ values and supports their well-being is more likely to result in higher employee satisfaction. When employees feel that they fit into the culture, are respected, and have opportunities for growth and development, their satisfaction increases. The assessment evaluates various aspects of an organization’s work environment, including trust, communication, employee engagement, leadership, and more (Cummings et al., 2018). These factors collectively contribute to the organizational culture and can significantly impact employee satisfaction and overall well-being.

In summary, the theory of organizational culture and employee satisfaction closely aligns with the assessment criteria in my workplace. A positive organizational culture, characterized by trust, communication, recognition, and employee well-being, will likely result in higher employee satisfaction, engagement, and morale (Cummings et al., 2018). Conversely, a negative culture can lead to dissatisfaction and a lack of employee recommendations. 

To apply the theory of organizational culture and employee satisfaction to improve organizational health and create stronger work teams, an organization can take several specific actions and initiatives:

Define and Communicate Clear Values and Mission by holding regular meetings or workshops to reinforce the organization’s mission and values. Ensure that all employees understand and can articulate these core principles.

Foster Trust and Open Communication by Implementing regular “town hall” meetings where leadership provides updates and encourages questions from all employees. Create anonymous feedback channels for employees to express concerns or suggestions.

Recognize and Celebrate Achievements through establishing an employee recognition program that acknowledges outstanding contributions and achievements. Celebrate milestones and successes as a team.

Employee engagement and morale through Conducting regular employee engagement surveys to gather feedback on job satisfaction and areas for improvement. Act on the survey results by implementing changes based on employee input.

The organization seems to prioritize a positive and inclusive culture where trust, respect, and collegiality are fundamental principles. This is a commendable approach that can contribute to a healthy work environment. Committing to transparent and respectful communication at all levels is crucial for maintaining trust and ensuring all employees feel heard and valued. Open and honest communication is key to a thriving organization. Recognizing employees as valuable partners rather than liabilities is essential as it fosters a sense of belonging and motivates employees to contribute to the organization (Atrizka et al., 2020). Encouraging shared governance, teamwork, and collaboration reflects a commitment to involving employees in decision-making processes, which can lead to better solutions and more significant employee investment in the organization’s success. Notably, most employees did not recommend the organization as a good or excellent place to work to their family and friends. This indicates a potential area for improvement and suggests that the organization should actively address any concerns or issues that employees may have.

In summary, the organization seems to have many positive elements for creating a healthy and supportive work environment. However, it should pay attention to the feedback provided by its employees to address any areas that need improvement and enhance overall employee satisfaction and advocacy.
