, Questionnaire Scenario
You are a manager at a company called PrimeCare, which specializes in disease management
for HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). The company is based in the private sector and
your clients are medical aid schemes, whom have HIV patients as members. You oversee the
operational procedures and the employment of counselling psychologists.
At the end of every year you have a business meeting with your staff about the take-on of
new clients, clients that will remain under your company’s disease management, and clients
that will be leaving. This meeting prepares the entire staff for the upcoming expectations for
the New Year.
You make a big announcement that you have landed a big client AfroMed. AfroMed is a
government employee medical aid made up of nurses, teachers, accountants, social workers,
bankers, and many more individuals that have been employed by the government. AfroMed
brings a large patient base, with an on-take of about 5000 patients whose HIV medications,
blood tests, and adherence counselling needs to be monitored by your company.
Disease management in the private sector is a high pressured, stress enduring, and mentally
challenging job. Any kind of service level demands that are made by the client and your
company has to upheld to avoid losing this client. An on-take of about 5000 patients means
that your company needs to employ more counselling psychologist to meet this workload.
About 15 new counselling psychologist will have to be employed, trained, and assessed
whether or not they are able suitable to adapt to the working culture of your business unit.
A major concern to you is how these new employees will adapt to working unit as there is a
high turn-over rate of HIV counselling psychologists due to the demands of the job. Skills
within the business unit affecting day-to-day operations are; cooperation, being able to handle
deadlines and meeting targets, being able to synergize, handling hostility, being creative in
problem solving, and being a team-player. These skills outline the cooperate culture of the
business unit and the ability to adapt to this culture is key in the hiring of new HIV
Adherence Counsellors. You need assure that the new counsellors will be able to fit in with
the synergy of PrimeCare.
Due to the fast-pace environment, frequent social interaction, and others spheres of the
cooperate culture within PrimeCare, a thorough screening and selection process will need to
be implemented for the employment of 15 new HIV Adherence Counsellors.
