Due Diligence in Corrective Action
Due diligence as defined by Merriam-Webster dictionary is “the care that a reasonable person exercises to avoid harm to other persons or their property” ("Definition," 2013, p. 1). Human Resources is responsible to the employees and to future hires to explain job descriptions, conditions of employment, and corrective action so that it is understood. Patton-Fuller Community Hospital has handled the following employee’s corrective actions, and this student reviewed them.
Bennie Bellamy
Bennie Bellamy applied for the job position of Certified Nursing Aide (CNA). He was hired at Patton-Fuller Community Hospital. On January 14, 18 and February third, sixth Bennie was found to have not completed or documented vital signs on the patients he was assigned for his shift. Bennie was coached and received corrective action about why he had skipped doing vitals on these shifts. The job description for the CNA position clearly states that the CNA is to take and record vitals as directed. On Bennie’s first yearly evaluation in May 2003, he received a ‘1’ for not following directions when he skipped doing patient vitals on four separate shifts. Although deficient on one area of his review, he still earned a 2% merit increase for his first yearly evaluation. Over the next two yearly evaluations for May 2004 and May 2005 Bennie showed improvement and received 3% merit increases for both years. The corrective action Bennie received helped improve Bennie’s responsibilities in his job description and Bennie has not had any additional problems.
Alva Branham Alva Branham applied for the position of Security Officer and was offered the position five days later with a letter of hire from Patton-Fuller Community Hospital. Alva’s start date was April 3, 1995, and Alva completed new hire
