Download or read book The Experience Mindset written by Tiffani Bova and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2023-06-06 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Wall Street Journal Bestseller! From the bestselling author of Growth IQ comes a guide to enhancing customer and employee experience simultaneously for unprecedented revenue growth In the war for customer acquisition, businesses invest millions of dollars to improve customer experience. They deliver packages faster, churn out new products, and endlessly revamp their UI, often putting greater strain on employees for diminishing returns. According to Tiffani Bova, this siloed focus on customer experience – without considering the impact on your staff – actually hinders growth in the long run. The most successful companies adopt an Experience Mindset that strengthens both employee experience (EX) and customer experience (CX) at the same time. Based on exclusive research from two Salesforce-sponsored studies of thousands of employees and c-suite executives, The Experience Mindset details exactly how your company can adopt an Experience Mindset, at scale. It’s not enough to know that happy employees equals happy customers. You must have an intentional, balanced approach to company strategy that involves all stakeholders – IT, Marketing, Sales, Operations, and HR – with KPIs and ownership over outcomes. In this ground-breaking book, filled with case studies of leading companies and never-before-seen research, you’ll learn: How people, processes, technology, and culture contribute to the “virtuous cycle” of EX and CX. Why the best companies have programs that minimize the customer’s effort as well as the employee’s effort (and how companies like Southwest and Best Buy get this right) How to effectively roll out technology solutions that boost both EX and CX (hard truth: only 20% of customer-facing employees believe technology makes their job easier. Employees want a seamless technology experience, just like your customers.) What metrics you can use to measure EX, CX, and ultimately, the effect of the two together. You can’t improve what you can’t measure. Employees are the heart of your business. If you want to remain competitive in today’s marketplace, investing in people is no longer a nice-to-have, but rather a must have.

Download or read book Noncoding RNA in Disease Diagnosis Etiology Progression Prognosis and Treatment written by Sujit Nair and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-01-10 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exciting class of regulatory small noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) has emerged in recent years that play key role(s) in the etiology/pathogenesis and diagnosis/prognosis of various human diseases including various hematologic and solid cancers, cardiovascular diseases including stroke/atherosclerosis, diabetes, obesity, and metabolic disorders, neuropathies, neurodegeneration including Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease or Multiple Sclerosis, neurological disorders including epilepsy and muscular dystrophies, liver diseases, pulmonary fibrosis, immune-mediated inflammatory disorders and inflammatory bowel disease, gastritis, autoimmune disorders including arthritis, acromegaly, chronic kidney disease, allergic rhinitis, vitiligo, osteoporosis, obstructive sleep apnea, ocular disease, periodontitis, skeletal muscle atrophy, and parasitic diseases including leishmaniasis, amongst others. These ncRNAs include primarily microRNAs (miRNAs), long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), circular RNAs (circRNAs), piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) or exosomal RNAs (exRNAs), etc. that modulate the expression of target genes thus potentially regulating protein expression in normal versus diseased individuals. This Research Topic recognizes the importance of and seeks to explore, ncRNAs in the diagnosis, etiology, progression, prognosis, and treatment of human disease as well as novel biomarker discovery by multi-omics technologies and other methodologies. Indeed, high-throughput technologies employing deep sequencing, proteogenomic, microarrays, and quantitative real-time PCR have begun to shed new light on the architecture of ncRNA landscapes in various diseases and key signal transduction cascades modulated by these ncRNAs in disease pathology. Epigenetic control of gene expression mediated via miRNAs, for instance, has expanded our understanding of transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression by critical ncRNAs in the cellular milieu. Network biology approaches including the construction of relevant ncRNA networks, ncRNA-mRNA networks, and bioinformatics for mining of ncRNAs, are gaining greater relevance in the search for ‘target hubs’ or novel biomarker(s) of disease. Delineation of ncRNA signatures by transcriptomic profiling or RNA-seq, for example, is an important milestone in furthering our knowledge of the repertoire of specific ncRNAs implicated in various diseases. Further, elucidation of the specific steps of the signaling cascades where ncRNAs exert their regulatory actions will augment our understanding of diseases. This will lead to the development of (i) a novel biomarker, or biomarker signature panel, for disease; (ii) ncRNA-based companion diagnostics for diagnosis of disease; (iii) point-of-care testing devices based on ncRNAs; (iv) newer therapeutic agents that target novel biomarkers with specificity, thereby reducing toxicity; (v) ncRNA-based prophylactic approaches of the future; and, (vi) ncRNA-based prognosis of disease.

Download or read book The Good Samaritan Nurse in a Secular Age written by Teresa Lynch and published by Grosvenor House Publishing. This book was released on 2023-08-24 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian and other nurses in the hostile modern and increasingly secular age may feel helpless in an environment that created the Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP) and continues to foster end of life 'care' through sedation and dehydration. The book aims to enlighten both health professionals and the public alike to their rights of conscience and knowledge of the needs of vulnerable patients whether related to ethical care or guidance and the law which can affect them. Indifference to patients' needs and suffering may be injurious to nurses' health all of whom have a conscience. This must be respected, protected and used as a guide to truly care for the patient's benefit, regardless of laws and professional pathways which may prove harmful to many vulnerable patients. The questioning nurse on ethical issues and dilemmas needs consideration, respect and support when attempting to act as the patient advocate. Managers at all levels need to be aware of the concerns of front line nurses and to be mindful that recruitment and retention are both equally important factors for the quality of patient care and nurse morale and work satisfaction. The NHS was a wonderful creation which is only as good as its staff at all levels. Its managers and government ministers must remember that the more authority invested in them, the more the accountability and transparency expected by both health professionals, their patients and the public.
