Project Description: This licence is issued for the scientific research application #891. The objective of this research is to develop a strategy that may improve the prospect of transference of knowledge from senior employees to junior employees for the sponsor agency. The research question will be: How can the BDHSSA improve its potential to effectively and consistently share specialized knowledge with its employees that are new to the organization? The following sub questions will help guide the findings: 1. What do new employees need when they begin work at the BDHSSA? 2. How does the BDHSSA communicate its corporate knowledge to new employees? 3. How do new employees orient themselves to the mission and culture of the organization? 4. What level of information does the seasoned employee share with newly hired employees of the Authority? The researcher will conduct four individual interviews and one focus group during working hours. Both sets of participants will receive letters of consent explaining the project as required for the university’s Ethical Research on Human Subjects. This project is limited to the employees of the Beaufort-Delta Health and Social Services Authority. The fieldwork for this study will be conducted from November 17 to December 31, 2008 at the Inuvik Regional Hospital.
