Overview

With the justification of an HRIS solidified, you need to show  your client how you will implement the HRIS using one of the change  models discussed in our text. You will also need to explain and justify  cost associated with implementation via a cost benefit analysis. You  want to ensure the system is properly maintained and evaluated for  continuous improvement. Therefore, you will include a maintenance and  evaluation plan in your proposal. 

Instructions 

Write a 3–4 page proposal, in which you do the following: 

Change Management

1. Discuss the various reasons system implementation fails.  Compare and contrast various change models. Then select a change model  to use during system implementation. Provide details of how you will use  the change model, and justify why you selected one model over the other  models. Explain the various steps that should be included to ensure the  change model is effective. 

HRIS Implementation

1. Discuss the activities that are necessary prior to the system  going live, and provide a timeline for these activities. Specify which  change management team member will be responsible for each activity, and  explain their role.    

Cost Benefit Analysis

1. Create a cost benefit analysis matrix for the HRIS vendor you  chose during Phase III: Design. Analyze the cost justification  strategies that you will use to justify the cost of the HRIS, including  data that identify each benefit and cost component examined, estimates  of the dollar amount for each, estimates on when the organization will  incur each cost and receive each benefit, and documentation justifying  each decision you made in listing these benefits. 

Maintenance

1. Discuss how you will ensure the system is properly maintained and evaluated for continuous improvement.

There will be times when a social worker is presented with a case where they are not familiar with the surrounding psychosocial issues. Because social workers are on a continual journey in learning, it is important to read pertinent literature. This Discussion provides an opportunity to visit Walden Library and strengthen your skills in identifying and locating an empirical research article.

To prepare:

• Select one of these three groups: (1) an immigrant individual from a racial or ethnic minority group, (2) a gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) individual, OR (3) an individual who is physically disabled.
• Review the Walden Library resources listed in the Learning Resources.
• Then conduct a library search for an empirical study focused on one of the groups above and the unique psychosocial factors or issues a social worker should be aware of when working with that group.

Post:

• Post the APA-style reference for the article you found in the library.
• Describe four specific psychosocial factors that should be taken into account in order to understand the psychosocial context when working with the group you selected. (Two of these factors should be psychologically related and two of these factors should be socially related).
• Identify and explain a psychosocial intervention that addresses one of the four specific psychosocial factors you described above.
• Identify 1 to 2 outcomes you might measure if you were to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention.
• Evaluate one advantage of using a psychosocial framework in social work practice with the group you chose.

Week Four Essay Assignment

Please use APA formatting, double-spaced, 6-8 pages, include references.

-You are in upper management for a mid-sized manufacturing company. Recent economic changes forced upper management to move much of the manufacturing to a foreign country. As a result, many of the state-side employees will be forced to work directly with foreign counterparts. There is great concern that the existing employees may not embrace the change, and you’ve been tasked with creating a plan to minimize the fallout.

-Develop a plan that will facilitate as smooth of a transition as possible, optimizing employee buy-in, satisfaction, and productivity. Write a report that explains the details of your plan, and be sure to integrate concrete examples and supportive reasoning for how to implement this plan following each step of Lewin’s 3-Stage Model of Change.
