Question 140 PointsCase Study 1. Adobes Family-Friendly Benefits: An Unexpected Backlash
Adobe Consulting Services (ACS), a provider of HR software application systems, prides itself on the variety of benefits it offers employees. In addition to health care, pension, and vacation benefits, the company offers an attractive family-friendly benefits package including flexible schedules, child and elder care assistance, counseling services, adoption assistance, and extended parental leave. Unfortunately, sometimes the companys progressive worklife policy experiences a backlash from some employees, as the following case illustrates.
In March 2019, Teresa Wheatly was hired by Adobe as a software accounts manager. With excellent administrative and technical skills, plus 4 years of experience at Adaptable Software, Adobes main competitor, Teresa became a valued addition to the companys marketing team. As a single mother with two grade-school children, Teresa received permission to take Fridays off. She was also allowed to leave work early or come in late to meet the needs of her children. Teresa is one of 11 software account managers at Adobe.
The problem for Adobe, and particularly for Janis Blancero, director of marketing, began in the fall of 2019. On September 15, Dorothy McShee, citing personal reasonswhich she refused to discussrequested a 4-day workweek for which she was willing to take a 20 percent cut in pay. When Dorothy asked for the reduced work schedule, she sarcastically quipped, I hope I dont have to have kids to get this time off. On October 3, Juan Batista, a world-class marathon runner, requested a flexible work hours arrangement to accommodate his morning and afternoon training schedule. Juan was registered to run the London, England, marathon in May 2021. Just prior to Juans request, Susan Woolf asked for and was granted an extended maternity leave to begin after the birth of her first child in December.
If these unexpected requests are not enough, Blancero has heard comments from senior account managers about how some employees seem to get special privileges, while the managers work long hours that often require them to meet around-the-clock customer demands. She has adequate reason to believe that there is hidden tension over the companys flexible work hours program. Currently, Adobe has no formal policy on flexible schedules. Furthermore, with the companys growth in business combined with the increasing workload of software account managers and the constant service demands of some customers, Blancero realized that she simply cannot grant all the time-off requests of her employees.
Questions
1. Do managers like Janis Blancero face a more complicated decision when evaluating the personal requests of employees versus evaluating employees individual work performance? Explain.
2. a. Should Adobe establish a policy for granting flexible work schedules? Explain.
b. If you answered yes, what might that policy contain?
3. If you were Janis Blancero, how would you resolve this dilemma? Explain.
Question 210 PointsCase Study 2. Too Much Fatigue and Stress? You Decide
Job fatigue and stress are significant problems faced by employees and their managers. Unfortunately, when a case of depression arises as a result, trying to resolve the problem may be difficultsometimes leading to conflictas this case illustrates.
Donald Knolls was an air traffic control supervisor for International Gateway Airport (IGA), an airport serving a major metropolitan area. Donald began to experience depression-related problems largely due to severe stress and fatigue on the job. A few months later, he requested and was granted a disability leave for treatment of his illness. After eight months, his personal physician, an expert in depression treatment and a licensed consulting psychologist agreed that he was sufficiently improved to return to his former position.
IGA then sent Donald to the physician it had used when Donald first requested his disability leave. After an extensive evaluation, the doctor concluded that while Donald had made considerable strides in overcoming his depression, he should not be immediately returned to his former supervisory position because the conditions of the job had not changed and he was apt to find the stress too great. Instead, he recommended that Donald be returned to a nonsupervisory position on a six-month trial basis, with the case to be reviewed at the end of that time. IGA followed the advice of its doctor and did not return Donald to a supervisory position. Donald, angered by managements decision, filed a grievance through IGAs alternative dispute resolution procedure, a procedure that could end in binding arbitration.
During several meetings between Donald and management, the employer maintained that it had the right to rely on the medical opinion of a fair and impartial doctor who had determined that Donald should not be returned to the position that was the cause of his original stress-related emotional problems. Additionally, management pointed out to Donald that IGAs disability leave provision stated that it may require appropriate medical documentation if it believes an employee is not fit to return to his or her former position.
Donald responded, through an attorney he hired to represent his position, that the disability leave provisions were clear but, nevertheless, biased against an employee because they completely disregarded the opinion of his physician and psychologist. According to Donald, Why bother to get expert medical opinions if they are dismissed? He further noted, I have never felt better. Im really ready to get back to my job. Finally, Donalds lawyer contended that Donald was the victim of discrimination based on his former state of depression: What happened to Donald would not have happened if his illness had been a more conventional physical injury.

Case study: Jeremy and Sandy, two nursing students holding patient files Many of their fellow students and a few faculty members follow their blogs. There is a growing audience of students in other programs in the United States and even internationally. One post they cowrite is critical of the BCMA system being used in the emergency department of one of their clinical sites. They are careful not to mention the facility by name but refer to examples of workarounds used there. In one instance, they mention a nurse who carried several patients barcodes on her belt and caused some confusion in treating three family members who were brought in following a motor vehicle crash. One of the blogs readers is married to one of the nurses who work in the facility, and he shows it to his wife. A faculty member emails Jeremy and Sandy, telling them to delete the blog post. Sandy obliges immediately. In what way could Jeremy and Sandy have used their blog in a better manner to provide constructive feedback about the BCMA system and the workarounds they observed? How do you think a family member or friend of the motor vehicle crash victims might have felt if they read the article? What about other members of the community where the hospital is located? Can you think of any other possible ramifications?

Write a 4-6 page executive report that analyzes ethical dilemmas presented in a case study, identifies the ethical principles that guide decision making and describes the external and internal factors that must be considered in ethical dilemmas. Explain evidence-based strategies to resolve ethical dilemmas and how personal moral integrity influences decision-making.
Introduction
The health care system in the United States is in the process of being transformed from a patriarchal health care system to the currently emerging patient-centered care model. The patient cultural revolution, boosted by technological advances and increased access to health-related information, presents tremendous change and managerial challenges throughout the entire health care system. These changes affect direct patient care facilities as well as the organizations and administrative departments related to, and supporting, their efforts. The patient-centered care model has increased the need for a solid leadership understanding of the patient experience and an enhanced ability to measure, interpret, and report it accurately. Ethical challenges related to patient-centered care present additional considerations to the existing managerial task of balancing quality care and fiscal responsibility.
Preparation
Suppose you are the new health care administrator at Brookside Hospital. Brookside Hospital is in the process of strategically aligning with patient-centered care principles, which are founded on ethics and represent a major transformation away from the patriarchal health care system of the past. End-of-life care and death with dignity are two important aspects of patient-centered care.
Read the patient-centered care Case Study Scenario [PDF]. Within the case study provided are three distinct ethical dilemmas:
An internal or organizational dilemma.
A formal process dilemma.
A discharge and end-of-life planning dilemma.
You must now prepare an executive report for the hospital’s board of directors to explain the situation and how you handled it.
Review the resources provided to see how they may help you in completing this assessment. Conduct your own search in the Capella library and on the Internet to locate authoritative resources on patient-centered care. You will need at least four resources to support your work in this assessment.
Format this assessment as an executive report. It should be well organized and logical, include a title page and references page, and follow APA guidelines for citations and references.
Instructions
In your executive report and for each of the ethical dilemmas, be sure you include the following:
Analyze the ethical dilemmas presented in the case study.
Describe each of the ethical dilemmas.
Explain the factors that contributed to each dilemma.
Identify the ethical principle that you used for each ethical dilemma to help guide your decision making.
Describe the external forces and internal organizational factors you considered for each dilemma.
Describe any legal or regulatory forces.
Describe any organizational policies and/or processes.
Explain the evidence-based strategy you used to resolve each ethical dilemma. (Hint: another way to think of this is to imagine that you did take action on each of the dilemmas. With that in mind, what strategy would you use and what supporting evidence do you have that the strategy is sound and effective?)
Explain how an awareness of your own personal integrity helped you decide on a strategy.
Additional Requirements
