Recruitment and Succession Plan

A key to tackling the talent war in the health sector is strategic planning for succession. At any given time, a senior member of your team could resign or suffer an unexpected health emergency. The only way to move forward without major organizational disruption is through planning for such occurrences. In this assessment, you will gain experience benchmarking succession planning strategies based on current trends.

Assume your highest performing tenured manager of a 20-person department unexpectedly submitted her 2 weeks notice. Your next most tenured employee in the department has only 2 years of experience and is not ready to assume the position at this time. Additionally, there is a major health care organization in your area that seems to have the first pick when recruiting the talent you really need. The executive team for your organization has asked you to address this situation.

Read from Performance Culture, Inc.

• Priorities and steps to mitigate the impact of your employees rapid departure
• A proposed recruitment plan to fill the managerial position

Need assistance with a few questions on this topic?  

• If Columbus was not the first explorer to sail to the New World, why is he given credit for its discovery?
• We now know that there were several million people established on the North American continent before Columbus supposedly discovered the New World.  We also know that those people who lived on the continent had built civilizations far surpassing the Europe of the time; i.e., Cahokia as an example.  Since Columbus is given the credit for discovering the New World, how can someone discover a land that is already inhabited and further advanced?
• Was Columbus involved in the genocide of the native inhabitants of the island that he landed on?  If he was involved in genocide, do the inhabitants of these islands now consider him to be a hero or a  villain and why?

• Formulate your opinion on the issues given above, ensuring that you cite your Internet sources in your post.

A) Many people believe that there is a Friday effect in the stock market but dont necessarily spell out exactly what they mean by this. There is a sense that stock prices tend to be lower on Fridays than on other days. Because stock prices are readily available on the web, it should be fairly easy to test empirically this (alternative) hypothesis. Before collecting data and running a test, however, you must decide exactly which hypotheses you want to test because there are several possibilities. 

Formulate at least two sets of null/alternative hypotheses. Then, gather some stock price data and test your hypotheses. Can you conclude that there is a statistically significant Friday effect in the stock market?

B) Suppose that monthly data on a time series variable exhibits a clear upward trend but no seasonality. You decide to use moving averages, with any appropriate span. 

• Explain what systematic bias is, in your own words.
• Provide your reasoning for using moving averages in a situation like this.
• Will there tend to be a systematic bias in your forecasts?
• Justify your answer: why or why not?
