Engaged, but Not Always Satisfied

SAN DIEGO-Knowing the difference between employee satisfaction and employee engagement-and acting on those differences-can make a profound impact on customer satisfaction scores, quality ratings and financial results for employers, said Benjamin Schneider, senior research fellow at Valtera Corp. in La Jolla, Calif.

Schneider, recipient of the Society for Human Resource Management's (SHRM's) 2009 Michael R. Losey Human Resource Research Award, defines engagement in terms of employees' feelings and behavior. Engaged employees might report feeling focused and intensely involved in the work they do. They are enthusiastic and have a sense of urgency. Schneider defines engaged behavior as persistent, proactive and adaptive in ways that expand the job roles as necessary. Engaged employees go beyond job descriptions in, for example, service delivery or innovation.

Schneider, speaking before members of SHRM's Special Expertise Panels on June 27, 2010 in conjunction with SHRM's Annual Conference, defined what engagement is not: "It's not getting more work out of people for less pay. We're not talking about more work; it's the approach to work.

81 percent of pharmacists agree that CPhTs play a role in reducing medication errors.

WASHINGTON, DC-Results from a recent Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) sponsored survey find that lead pharmacists perceive pharmacy technician certification as an essential component in reducing medication errors, ensuring patient safety, and increasing positive health outcomes.  The results, unveiled at the American Pharmacists Association (APhA) Annual Meeting in March 2010 by researcher Shane Desselle, R.Ph, PhD, FAPhA, Associate Dean for Tulsa Programs, Chair, and Professor of the Department of Pharmacy: Clinical and Administrative Sciences at University of Oklahoma College of Pharmacy, were gathered from a random sample of over 3,250 pharmacists serving in a variety of practice settings across the United States.

 "The data show that the majority of pharmacists-in fact, over 80 percent of those surveyed-agree that pharmacy technician certification is associated with a reduction in medication errors," said Melissa Murer Corrigan, R.Ph., Executive Director and CEO of PTCB.  "This survey provides the data to support something we have known for years but are now able to quantify: Well-trained and PTCB certified pharmacy technicians make a positive impact on patient care."
