Group Project
This is not more than a 20-page submission. In this assignment, students will go through the steps to set up a quantitative research study. The Instructor will divide the class into groups to complete the assignment in week 1. Each group should submit 1 topic selection in week 1, and 1 final report. This report should include qualitative and quantitative sections. Here are the main steps to perform this team project:
Step #1: Topic selection: COMPARING AVERAGE ANNUAL PERCENT OF DIABETIC MEDICARE ENROLLEES AGE 65-75 YEARS HAVING HEMOGLOBIN A1c BETWEEN MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA.
The instructor will provide a list of topics; the team also should submit the team agreement plan with the selected topic in week 1 for the faculty feedback and approval.
Step #2: Performing Qualitative analysis
2.1. This section of the assignment is aimed at giving students an opportunity to select and analyze at least 5 articles using the ‘Review Manager 5’ tools to analyze the risk of bias for 5 selected articles following these steps:
– The methodological quality and risk of bias evaluation of the selected studies should be conducted independently by two team members, following the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews (Higgins, 2011), a domain-based evaluation for each study should be done across five domains:
– Selection bias,
– Performance bias,
– Detection bias,
– Attrition bias, and
– Reporting bias.
The judgment of studies for potential bias should be indicated by assigning ‘low risk’, ‘high risk, or ‘unclear risk’, for each respective source of bias.

Competency Discussion
Discussion Topic
For your Competency Discussion, consider how finance decisions are made where you work or at an organization with which you are familiar. Reflect on the tools that are used to determine these finance decisions. Finally, think about how these tools contribute to the decision-making process in the organization where you work or at an organization with which you are familiar.
To begin this Competency and meet your required engagement, post in the Discussion area a brief description of the organization with which you are familiar. Then describe the finance tools used to make finance decisions. Finally, explain how these tools contribute to the decision-making process.
Module 2 Pre-Assessment Submission
Assessment Submission
Note: Although this formative pre-assessment is not graded, a submission is required before you can advance to your summative assessment.
The Module Pre-Assessment is your opportunity to practice applying module content before submitting the final Competency Assessment. In the Final Assessment, you will be asked to conduct a 5-year analysis of Jiranna Healthcares outpatient operational and financial data in order to determine whether or not it is an attractive project.
To prepare for your Final Assessment, complete the following 5-year calculations:
Net sales, operating expenses, operating income, and net income of Jiranna Healthcare.
Total profit margin, asset turnover, return on assets, and return on net worth.
Current ratio, days cash on hand, and working capital.
Debt ratio and times interest earned ratio.
Complete a DuPont analysis for each of the five most recent years.
Next, reflect on what each of the resulting data mean in terms of the:
Significance of the trend results.
Companys profitability.
Companys liquidity.
Companys long-term solvency.
Companys individual DuPont characteristics (e.g., total margin, total asset turnover & equity multiplier) and trends across the analysis period.
Finally, think about whether you would recommend purchasing Jiranna Healthcare and the rationale for your recommendation.
For this Module Pre-Assessment, create a rough draft of the 5-year analysis you conducted of Jiranna Healthcare outpaitent operational and financial data. Be sure to review the Final Assessment instructions for more information.
Note that you do not have to resubmit your Pre-Assessment to address feedback.
Module 3 Pre-Assessment Submission
Assessment Submission
Note: Although this formative pre-assessment is not graded, a submission is required before you can advance to your summative assessment.
The Module Pre-Assessment is your opportunity to practice applying module content before submitting the final Competency Assessment. In the Final Assessment, you will be asked to complete a capital project spreadsheet based on the case study provided. You also will be asked to conduct a budgeting evaluation.
To prepare for your Final Assessment, review Capital Project Case Study and compete the capital project worksheet. Next, consider whether the project is acceptable assuming Jiranna Healthcare has a corporate policy of not accepting projects that take more than 3.5 years to pay for themselves, and assuming an 11% cost of capital. Then, review the Variance Analysis Case Study and reflect on the calculations that you conduct to answer questions regarding Jirannas profit forecast and revised projections and budgeting challenges as well as recommendations you would make for fee-for-service healthcare organizations and capitated healthcare organizations.
For this Module Pre-Assessment, create a draft of your report explaining whether the Capital Project Case Study project is acceptable and why. Then create a draft of your budgeting evaluation. Be sure to review the Final Assessment instructions for more information.

18 Improving the Candidate Experience at Airbnb
Staffing Challenge Response
Improving the Candidate Experience at Airbnb
To improve its candidate experience, Airbnb set a goal to have job candidates walk away saying, Wow-those Airbnb people are so smart and coordinated-Im even more excited about the chance to work with them. 194 The recruiting team started by brainstorming how they wanted the hiring process to feel at each step and mapped out its ideal process from both the hiring teams and the candidates perspectives. They also benchmarked their auto-reply application messages and learned that theirs was the same boring message other companies were using. They wrote a new message that reinforced Airbnbs employer value proposition, outlined the next steps in the hiring process, and provided suggestions for what candidates could do while they waited to hear back (e.g., read the frequently asked questions on the website, watch company culture videos, etc.). 195 The recruiting team then created a variety of employer value-proposition-branded templates that could be quickly adapted by recruiters when communicating with candidates. The recruiting team was also given the responsibility to extend offer letters. This reduced the time it took for candidates to receive an offer to just a couple of days.196 They even held lunches to help employees improve and update their LinkedIn profiles because they knew candidates would be looking at them. Every week they started recognizing a recruiter who went the extra mile for a candidate, such as a hiring manager who went hiking on a Saturday to recruit a top prospect. 197 The on-site interview process was improved by giving each interviewer a distinct role ensuring that they dont ask the same questions. They also prep interviewers to help them tailor their approach to each candidate. For example, a manager might be sent a calendar interview invitation saying, Super passive candidate. Had coffee with Mike three months ago. Have been courting ever since. Need to sell. Candidates arriving for interviews are greeted with a personalized welcome note written on the white board in the interview room and are given a tour of the office to help reduce interview nerves and improve their ability to assess their fit. Rejected candidates are informed via e-mail but are invited to call for feedback if they would like. Airbnb feels that this gives the candidate time to digest the news, making the feedback conversation more productive and helping them feel more positively toward the company. After passing a certain stage of the hiring process, candidates are also given a coupon to thank them for the time they spent with Airbnb.198 The company also took steps to mitigate recruiting bias and hire more diverse employees by focusing on being objective and identifying the best candidates for the job, not just hiring the people they most wanted to hang out with. 199 The recruiting team worked with hiring managers to conduct a job analysis and identify the attributes for success in each role. After securing agreement on the right skill sets, the interview questions and scoring key were developed. Interviewers were also trained to objectively and accurately evaluate candidates. Interviewers were discouraged from looking for common passions and hobbies on a candidates resume because doing so promoted bias when they developed stronger connections based on similar interests that had nothing to do with job success. Unconscious bias training was also conducted. 200 The changes appear to be working as employee diversity has increased, 201 second-time candidates are increasing, and more friends of former candidates are applying. 202
