Introduction:

You are the lead consultant for Human Ecology and Workforce Management Solutions, LLC. Its top HR person has asked you to review the following development and answer the following questions with top management:

Some employees in IBM’s Global Technology Services group received e-mails from the company informing them that a recent evaluation had identified them as the employees who had not kept pace with acquiring the necessary skills and expertise needed to meet changing client needs, technology, and markets. As a result, IBM requires them to dedicate one day a week or up to twenty-three days in total between October 2014 and March 2015 to focus on training. During this time, the employees will take a pay cut, receiving only 90% of their base salary. Once the training is completed, salaries will be restored to full. Employees can either take the training or look for job opportunities within IBM that better match their current skill set.

The employees have reacted negatively toward the program. Some feel the program with its pay cut is unfair because their work has received positive evaluations from their managers. Also, employees noted that all the employees in the workgroup were being assigned to the same training program regardless of their individual skill levels. A few of the employees believe that the training program is a cost-cutting exercise that is being presented as a training program. A spokesperson for IBM emphasized that the salary cut and retraining program was not a standard practice across IBM but affected only a few hundred employees in the US technology services outsourcing business. The purpose of the program is to help employees develop key skills in areas such as cloud and mobile computing and advanced data analytics. Because the program can help employees in the long term to increase their billable hours with clients, IBM believes the salary cut is a co-investment cost shared by both the employees and the company. IBM calculated that it will lose one day of billing each week that the employees are in the training program, which in turn matches 20% of the compensation of the employees involved. So, the 10% pay cut actually splits the cost of training.

Tasks:

• Analyze whether the IBM undertaking is “strategic.”
• Evaluate whether the employees’ salaries should be reduced for the time they attend training programs.
• Evaluate recommendations for additional ways through which the IBM management can convince the affected employees to update and gain new skills.
• Summarize IBMs choices and the effects it will have on the organization.

To support your work, use your course and textbook readings and also use the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

Complete in detail

One of the tasks you face as a manager, especially if your organization makes frequent business transactions, is that of preparing a budget. A budget is a tool used for planning and controlling your financial resources. It is a guideline for your future plan of action, expressed in financial terms within a set period of time. A budget does not have to be complex. However, it should support the strategic plan for the organization. We will need resources to achieve our goals and objectives.

For this assignment, you will focus on the operating budget. An operating budget shows the company’s projected revenue and associated expenses for an upcoming period—usually the next year. An operating budget starts with revenue, and then shows each expense type. This includes variable costs, or the costs that vary with sales, such as the cost of raw materials and production labor. The operating budget includes fixed costs, such as the monthly rent on office space or the monthly payment for a photocopier lease. The budget also includes operating expenses, such as interest on business loans, and the non-cash expense of depreciation. These items enable the company to compute its projected net income and net profit percentage.

Imagine you are the healthcare administrator for an actual non-profit clinic, home health agency, or outpatient surgery center. Your first task is to locate either the strategic plan for that organization or determine its strategic direction through the vision statement, mission/purpose statement, and strategic priorities/goals. You will also need to locate the audited financial statements for the organization.

Using the information from your research, develop a one-year operating budget for the chosen entity, which will include operating revenues and expenses. Include a 1–2 page document to justify the approach you use in constructing the operating budget with the strategic plan or strategic direction.

• Upload the strategic plan or strategic direction and audited financial statements as an attachment or include the web link.
• Complete your operating budget using Excel.
• Support your work with at least 3 quality references, one being your course textbook.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:

• Develop a budget for a department within a healthcare organization.

Introduction

The Job Analysis is a structured method in which knowledge regarding roles and duties needed for the performance of a specific job is gathered. The job analysis mainly involves the task and not the workers, but the information is obtained from the users about the work (Robinson-Morral et al., 2018).

Discussion

The primary step in the job analysis process is to identify the intent of the job analysis. The aim may be either to update the job description, to amend the compensation system, to modify the structure of the company, or to update the work of a particular department (Wyse & Babcock, 2018). After the target has been selected, the top management should be well informed, as changes can only be made to the organization with the support of the management. The category of workers to be evaluated would be chosen, be clerical roles, handle employees, different division duties, etc., after setting a goal (Robinson-Morral et al., 2018). The participants involved in the study are also listed, and the approaches to be used. The current job description is reviewed in its entirety in order for a fair understanding of the duties, responsibilities, organizational chart, working conditions, dangers, etc. in certain jobs to exist (Wyse & Babcock, 2018).

The next action in the job analysis process is to carry out the job analysis or to start it. In this case, enough time should be allocated for the employees to collect the job details. The employee’s knowledge may be gathered through a sample, questionnaire, or assessment methods (Robinson-Morral et al., 2018). If the information is gathered, it must be organized according to the purpose, section, and branch. After this phase, a draft job detail and specifications are prepared by the job analyst. The changes that will be made to the jobs will be defined and written into paper after processing of the material. When the draft is written, the executives, subordinates, and staff will be notified. Regulation of job requirements and expectations is the final phase in the job analysis process, in which job descriptions are reviewed and updated in due time in accordance with the changing needs of the client (Wyse & Babcock, 2018).

Conclusion

The job analysis leads to job specifications and job description. The job description involves duties, obligations, working hours, etc. and the job specification relates to the expertise, experience, history, credentials, and communication abilities required for a particular job.
