a. Create professional pathways that require advanced education for any advancement of staff.
b. Seek staff input when planning a remodeling project of patient rooms.
c. Form committees that consist of upper management to plan organizational goals.
d. Consistently schedule required staff meetings at the same time each month.
ANS: B
Including staff at all levels of an organization in planning and projects demonstrates respect for the intelligence and creativity of the individual. Requiring advanced education for any advancement limits those with barriers to attending additional schooling; advancement should be available in a variety of ways to show the value of the individual. Committees that only consist of upper management cause a feeling of disconnect between staff and administration. Scheduling meetings at the same time does not consider those who work shifts and either have to come in on their day off or must disrupt sleep to attend.
