envied by local competitors. As the Director of Human Resources, you are responsible for hiring,
orientation, training and development, compensation and benefits, and employee relations. Given the
long existence of the organization, there have been many instances where management has been
tasked with creating or modifying the company personnel policies and procedures.

concern that the facility is experiencing some complaints regarding management, especially in the area
of employee-related adverse actions. Some employees complain that they are being unfairly singled out
for corrective actions and progressive discipline. They claim that current policies are being unfairly ad-
ministered and some of the policies are out of date. Additionally, there have been too many medication
errors and harmful patient treatments by the nursing staff that have resulted in nursing management
creating new policies and procedures in an effort to fix immediate issues.

The CEO has directed you to resolve these issues. Given the above scenario, respond to each question
with and include references to support your proposed solution.

procedure, or related to some other issue? (Current policies are unfair and out of date and medication
errors)

Question 2
What are the differences between the Personnel Policy Manual and the Employee Guide?

Question 3

How do you plan to create procedures from policies? What kind of tools would you use to create
procedures? How do you determine if each manager is up to date with the policies and procedures?

Question 4
How often should policies and procedures be updated? Who performs the updates to policies and
procedures?
