Description
CASE DESCRIPTION The context of this case is a retail pharmacy in a large national drug store chain and requires students to forecast a staffing plan and calculate a labor budget to fit an operating schedule. It is specifically written for students learning about the management of Human Resources (HR) in any field of study. This case offers a step-by-step exercise (embedded within the case) to guide the student through the basic calculations required for planning the staffing of any operation. It addresses two of the three challenges (staffing and budgeting) presented by the tight labor market in one healthcare profession. Suggestions for the instructor related to variations on the case address the third challenge (scheduling) defined as the actual assignment of staff to certain days of the week or hours of the day. This case has a difficulty level of three on a scale of one to five and is appropriate for upper division, undergraduate students or graduate students. It is designed to be delivered in portions of two classroom periods with completion of the embedded exercise as homework between the two sessions or online in one learning module. When combined with a reading assignment, the exercise is expected to require one to two hours of student preparation.
