1. According to the case provided below, answer the following questions:

a. Choose a solution and describe how we will implement this solution into the organization. Explain

b. Describe how you would communicate with managers, execs, low-level staff, etc. to implement the solution as seamlessly as possible.

Case: Healthcare provider, NY Hospital Group, is in the process of acquiring three other hospitals in the greater New-York area and integrating them into their greater network. NY Hospital group plans to retain at least 3,000 of the 5,000 existing employees at these hospitals. For these acquisitions to work, NY Hospital group needs to do the following:

• Determine which employees are needed and which ones are redundant and retain as many valuable employees as possible. NY Hospital wants to retain as many nurses as possible.

• Train the new managers to use NY Hospitals proprietary scheduling systems and payroll software.

• Train the retained employees on NY hospitals policies, including those related to operations, compensation, and

While the NY Hospital group thought they were prepared to integrate these employees onto their system, they are now experiencing a lot of problems. Now, NY hospital executives Tony and Barbara are contacting you, an organizational development consultant, because they want you to address the following problems:

• Employee morale, especially among the nursing staff, is at an all-time low.

  • Tony thinks that this is a lingering effect of the Covid-19 pandemic, and that it will eventually blow over

  • Barbara thinks that the lack of clear communication is making everyone anxious about their job security

• Managers have not taken to the new scheduling software and continue to make costly errors

  • The errors are resulting in employees being paid for hours they didnt work or receiving benefits theyre not entitled to.

  • You have a team of payroll specialists who are becoming increasingly swamped addressing these issues.

• Benefits and compensation changes have not been communicated properly, leading to employees incorrectly using benefits theyre not entitled to.

  • (Ex: Nurse going on vacation for a month, despite not having as much PTO in this new organization)

Barbara really wants to hire some temporary workers to help train the new employees and ease the transition process. Tony believes that proper communication is the best way to solve all of their problems. Use your skills as an OD consultant to devise the best course of action.
