Change is inevitable and is common in every setting and organization. Therefore, in anticipation of potential changes or change organization and its leaders should put in place appropriate strategies that can help to successfully manage the change for better operations (Fronzo, 2018). In most cases, change is undertaken to address an identified gap or improve an existing operation within the facility. Therefore, the purpose of this assignment is to identify and describe a change that occurred in the workplace and formulate an annotated bibliography of research articles that are related to the identified change.
The Change
As earlier highlighted, change is a common phenomenon in organizations. One of the recent changes that occurred at the workplace was in the line of care for older individuals. A trend has been popping where there has been a high rate of staff turnover, which has been hurting the facility. Therefore, the organization decided to approach the issue from the staff’s point of view by using a new policy of introducing staff empowerment and motivation programs.

This article by Ayalew was done with the aim of exploring staff motivation and job satisfaction among nurses. The researchers used face-to-face interviews to collect data on job satisfaction. The majority of the nurses indicated satisfaction. The study showed that human resource management strategies such as motivation are key in retaining nurses. This article is significant as it shows that nurse retention is positively impacted by programs such as motivation. Therefore, this method has a high chance of succeeding in the facility to help the facility reverse the trend of high nurse staff over and improve care among the residents.
