Competency

Appraise the workforce relations of an organization to ensure optimal performance.

Scenario

You are an HR Business Partner in a large electronics retailer. The VP of HR has recently implemented a new disciplinary process, which focuses more on performance improvement rather than automatic discipline and censure for behavior and performance issues. The VP of HR created a performance matrix to help guide managers to understand what types of disciplinary actions are appropriate for different infractions. The HR Business Partners have been instructed to use the matrix to coach line managers to better assess what type of disciplinary action should be taken for employee issues, with the use of a performance improvement plan whenever possible.

Your internal portfolio, as an HR Business Partner, includes the household machines division, which focuses on sales of washers and dryers, dishwashers, and other large home appliances. The sales manager of this division has requested assistance from HR in handling a performance problem. One of his employees is an innovative and energetic “star performer,” but becomes angry, defensive, and argumentative if the ideas, suggestions, and proposals he makes require changes or is not implemented. The sales manager has spoken to him once, but no changes have been observed. As the HR Business Partner prepare a coaching memo for the sales manager, which outlines which type of discipline the employee should receive as well as a performance improvement plan (PIP) for the employee.

Instructions

Prepare a coaching memo and a performance improvement plan (PIP), using the organization’s new discipline matrix, for the employee that:

• Provides primary issue/overall concern.
• Explains desired and actual performance.
• Demonstrates the impact (the sound business reasons why the problem must be solved).
• Demonstrates the consequences (the logical consequences the employee will face if he fails to correct the situation).
• Provides attribution for credible sources used as an appendix to the PIP.

How do you feel about becoming a social change agent, leader, and advocate? What areas of interest do you have that are related to bringing about a society committed to the mental health and welfare of its members? How might you inspire current and future students and colleagues so that they relate to and become engaged in doing something to bring about this vision? How do you plan to remain a competent human services professional?

Human services professionals are committed to understanding and addressing professional and societal issues. As you continue on your journey as a human services professional, it is your responsibility to constantly engage in professional development. This engagement might include continuing education courses, conferences, graduate degrees, certifications, and research, to name a few.

To prepare:

• Identify at least three personal and/or professional commitments that you are willing to make as a result of your understanding of the need for social change, leadership, and advocacy.
• Consider steps you might take in your professional development to become a more effective social change agent, leader, and advocate.
• Consider how your new understanding might impact your future work as a human and social services professional.

For the case study, we will focus on the importance of safety and all parties helping to make safety a priority. The effectiveness of the safety training will depend on how prepared the participants are for the training and their perception of the training.

Review “Case: Safety First” located in the textbook on pages 199-200, and respond to the prompts below. You are not required to answer the questions at the end of the case study in the textbook.

1. Examine the components of an effective training needs analysis for this scenario. What would the basic parts for a successful training program be?
2. Describe how the training should be delivered, and briefly describe one motivational theory from those listed on pages 163–173 in the textbook and how it supports this type of training to enhance an organization’s performance.

Your case study should be at least two pages in length. You are not required to use APA style for this assignment; however, your writing should be clear and concise.

Tupperware1!

Please review the following scenario and place yourself in the position of the new Human Resource Manager for Acme Manufacturing. Once you understand the circumstances of the problems in this organization, please respond to the questions that the General Manager has posed.

Scenario: You just started work as the new Human Resources Manager for Acme Manufacturing, a Fortune 1,000 company. The job was vacant for 6 months prior to your hiring. You have wondered about this, especially since reading about employee harassment incidents and fights recently in the news.

The General Manager (GM) calls you into his office the minute you arrive. He shuts the door after saying a quick word of welcome and begins to tell you about an incident that happened last week that needs your immediate attention. The company’s manufacturing operation runs three shifts of production workers so that the plant is operating 24/7. Over the past 6 months, hostilities have arisen between employees on the third and first shifts. What started out as jeering and criticisms by the first shift, claiming they have to clean up the mess and complete all of the work left undone by the third shift, has escalated to physical confrontations and altercations. Although the GM says that aggressive bantering back and forth is common for shift workers in manufacturing, he admits that he is worried about further violent escalation. The GM says he needs your help.

• Where do you think that      this evaluation should begin? In your reply, explain your reasoning.
• Explain the different      levels of disciplinary actions that will be used for the Acme      Manufacturing Company. Your reply should include the levels of discipline      and 1 example of a disciplinary action for each level.
• How would you determine      the disciplinary action appropriate for the employees involved in this      scenario? Your response should include your reasoning.
• Why would you draft      policies and procedures associated with disciplinary actions for the      workplace? Provide a minimum of 2 reasons in your response.
• How would you ensure      that the entire workforce is trained on these new policies and procedures?      Provide 1 example in your response.

Write a 5–7-page memo to the GM that provides your responses to his questions above. Be sure to cite any references used in proper APA format.

LP06 Assignment: Employer RFP Paper

Directions

Employer RFP Paper: (Read Chapter 5 and 7.)

SCENARIO: You are responsible for the request for proposal (RFP) department in an MCO. Several employers have come to you looking for health insurance benefit offerings to its employees. You are to provide a package of health care insurance benefit coverage recommendations based on the size of each company: small group, medium group, and large group.

a.For each company size, recommend the services you would offer that sized company. Include how those services would be organized. You may assume anything you want about the employer. Incorporate your assumptions into your paper.

Be sure to include such things as what payment systems would be implemented (fee-for-service? capitation? deduction? and so forth).

How would you incorporate inpatient and outpatient services? How would you handle behavioral health services?

b.For each company size, your paper should be about 2 to 4 pages in length. Double space and use 1 inch margins all around in 12 point Times New Roman font.

c.Use headers freely to help outline your various recommendations for structure and content

d.There is no one correct answer to this. Your task is to demonstrate through this assignment that you understand the structure, internal operations of MCOs and health care options as presented in the text.

e.When writing, consider these questions:

What might a small/medium/large group employer look like?

What sort of financial structure would you recommend?

What would be the physician relations and so forth?

Use the text as a guide as to other factors that should be included in your paper. Details are good here.

f.Consider the reader in how you structure each of your employer recommendations. Do not write paragraphs that are 50 lines long. Break up your content into paragraphs that reflect changes in topic or thought. As stated above, use headers freely. Proper grammar is important. Proofread your assignment for spelling and grammar before you submit it.

James (2013) summarizes that “crisis is a perception or experiencing of an event or situation as an intolerable difficulty that exceeds the person’s current resources and coping mechanisms” (p. 8). There are many theories and models of crisis. Counselor educators categorize these theories as basic, expanded, applied, and eclectic. In particular, an ecosystemic theory of crisis, developed by Bronfenbrenner, is also beginning to emerge as a notable theory. Bronfenbrenner’s ecosystemic theory takes a distinctive look at the ways in which a crisis can affect communities, regions, and entire nations, as well as how crises can slowly spread across continents. An ecosystemic crisis not only affects those individuals who directly experience the catastrophe, but can also produce potential victims who may vicariously experience the crisis.

To prepare for this Discussion:

• Review Chapters 1 and 17 in your course text, Crisis Intervention Strategies, and think about the strengths and limitations of the various crisis theories offered.
• Then consider which theories you think are the most relevant to crisis management and response.
• Review the article, “Toward a Taxonomy of Disaster and Crisis Theories” to develop an understanding of administrative theory in crisis planning.
• Think about the ways in which basic, expanded, applied, and eclectic crisis theories fit into crisis management and response, and where and when Maslow’s hierarchical theory can be applied to understanding crises responses.
• Select two of the crisis theories you read about this week that you believe are the most relevant to crisis management and response and think about the strengths and limitations of each.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 4 a brief description of the two crisis theories you selected and explain why you believe these theories are the most relevant to crisis management and response. Then analyze the strengths and limitations of each of the two crisis theories you selected.

Note: Put the names of the two theories you selected in the first line of your post. You will be asked to respond to a colleague who chose at least one different theory than you did.
