He spoke with her privately and expressed concern about her time management practices. He pointed out that Janice had arrived late for work three times in the last two weeks, had left early one day due to child-care problems, and had several times failed to complete assigned work tasks in the designated time. Dr. Grady explained that in a small practice with only a few employees, Janice was having a significant impact on work flow in the office. He warned her that she must improve if she was to continue working there. Discuss the possible impact of Janice’s actions on patients, coworkers, and Dr. Grady. Suggest ways that Janice can improve her personal organization and time management.arrow_forward
