Analysis and Resolution of Situation
Situational challenge and Questions
In a health and social care, various situations occur that become responsible for various
common issues and one of the most common issue that is undergoing in the health care industry
is the employee turnover (Cunningham and Braithwaite, 2012). This can be resolved by making
use of an appropriate leadership style by the health care so that these issues can be prevented,
thus the people in the health care can get appropriate and efficient set of services and operations.
At this point of situation, it is strange that “Do health care centres does not feel any need of
maintaining an efficient employee strength”?, “Isn't it effects the operations and services of the
health care”?
Efficient leadership style for resolving the issue
Out of the all, transformational leadership style is considered as that style of leadership
where along with the leader, there are some assistants that helps them in investigating different
changes and also focusing on various ways for achieving the targets (Buykx and et.al., 2010).
The idea of involving transformation leadership can actually help in bringing the change in
employee turnover because it considers the most essential factors such as influence, motivation,
stimulation and consideration. The hotel can include various means of motivation as by
providing the employees increments etc. It further helps in maintaining the focus and attention
towards achieving the targets, thus employees will also less likely to think about leaving the
organisation (Laschinger, 2012). Along with this, if requirement and ideas of all the employees
will be considered, that can also act as an efficient option for keeping every employee of the
health care happy. Thus, it can further help in making the environment of the health care happier
and healthier, thus reducing the overall rate of employee turnover as well.
