DQ 1.2

  

Describe at least six (6) recommendations that you would make to improve the effectiveness of today’s boards of directors. Explain your rationale for the recommendations by discussing how your recommendations would improve the performance of the boards and the companies they oversee. Then give your opinion as to which of these would be the most important recommendation and justify your opinion. (APA Format/Reference) (A 2-page response is required.)

Discussion – Week 9- 8130

Anticipating Barriers to Implementation

Marcus is a health care administrator who recently approved a new youth anti-smoking program at community centers located throughout an urban residential area. When Marcus approved the health program for his health care agency, he was awarded a substantial budget to implement this program for a period of three years. However, Marcus was just informed that his budget has been reduced by 25% and initial brochures and flyers that have already been distributed will need to be revised before the first initial community meeting that will introduce the youth anti-smoking program. How might Marcus address these challenges and how might these barriers impact the implementation of the youth anti-smoking program?

For this Discussion, review and reflect on the types of barriers covered in this week’s resources. Consider how these types of barriers might affect the implementation of a marketing plan. Then, consider strategies that a health care administrator might implement to address these barriers.

By Day 3

Post a brief explanation of what types of barriers that health care administrators might face during the implementation process of a marketing plan. Then, propose two strategies that health care administrators might use to best address the barriers identified, and explain why. Be specific and provide examples.

Powerpoint

The problem-solving model was first laid out by Helen Perlman. Her seminal 1957 book, Social Casework: A Problem-Solving Process, described the problem-solving model and the 4Ps. Since then, other scholars and practitioners have expanded the problem-solving model and problem-solving therapy. At the heart of problem-solving model and problem-solving therapy is helping clients identify the problem and the goal, generating options, evaluating the options, and then implementing the plan.

Because models are blueprints and are not necessarily theories, it is common to use a model and then identify a theory to drive the conceptualization of the client’s problem, assessment, and interventions. Take, for example, the article by Westefeld and Heckman-Stone (2003). Note how the authors use a problem-solving model as the blueprint in identifying the steps when working with clients who have experienced sexual assault. On top of the problem-solving model, the authors employed crisis theory, as this theory applies to the trauma of going through sexual assault. Observe how, starting on page 229, the authors incorporated crisis theory to their problem-solving model.

In this Final Case Assignment, using the same case study that you chose in Week 2, you will use the problem-solving model AND a theory from the host of different theoretical orientations you have used for the case study.

You will prepare a PowerPoint presentation consisting of 11 to 12 slides, and you will use the Personal Capture function of Kaltura to record both audio and video of yourself presenting your PowerPoint presentation.

To prepare:

  • Review and focus on the case study that you chose in Week 2.
  • Review the problem-solving model, focusing on the five steps of the problem-solving model formulated by D’Zurilla on page 388 in the textbook.
  • In addition, review this article listed in the Learning Resources: Westefeld, J. S., & Heckman-Stone, C. (2003). The integrated problem-solving model of crisis intervention: Overview and application. The Counseling Psychologist, 31(2), 221–239. https://doi-org.ezp.waldenulibrary.org/10.1177/0011000002250638

 Instructions

Supporting Lectures:

Review the following lectures:

Introduction:

You have just been hired as the director of HR and Operations for a stadium. At present, you are responsible for nine hundred employees. So far, the employees have been content with the employer-employee relationship. However, you have just been notified by one of the managers that a well-established union has been targeting all stadiums in the state. In addition, the manager has also informed you that an emerging union is also targeting the organizations. Of course, the management team would prefer to have a union-free work environment, but this is not an option. To assess this scenario, you will need to research some of the most powerful and emerging (weakest) unions.

Tasks:

  • Identify an industry or organization where there is a strong union presence.
  • Analyze the reason the union is so powerful.
  • Evaluate the potential outcome for the organization if a powerful union is elected by the employees (for example, productivity, wages, compensation, layoffs, and growth).
  • Evaluate the potential outcome for the organization if an emerging (weak) union is elected by the employees (for example, productivity, wages, compensation, layoffs, and growth).

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.

Submission Details:

  • Create a 2-page word document.
  • Name your file as SU_HRM5070_W1_Project_LastName_FirstName.

Option #1: Workforce Management and Rewards

  

For this Capstone assignment, you will research what motivates employees to perform. Then, you will assess how management type and rewards can improve employee motivation. A motivated workforce is integral to organizational success and profitability.

For this CTA, you will create a workforce management and rewards model using a specific motivation philosophy/theory. A rewards plan that does not stem from a strong motivation core will not be sustainable. When constructing the plan, examine how organizational structure and culture impact the types of compensation, benefits, and other opportunities offered.

Develop a well-written report that addresses the following:

  • Explain the main reasons that employees are motivated to perform in the workplace. In other words, what are the strategies or actions that motivate a typical organizational employee?
  • Describe the role of compensation in the workplace, including its effect/impact on employee performance.
  • Create a workforce management and rewards plan that takes into consideration the culture of the organization, can help attract and retain talented employees, and is not cost prohibitive to adapt. Your plan should reflect aspects of your selected motivation philosophy/ theory.

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

  • Be 5-7 pages in length.
  • Incorporate a table or figure that visualizes the strategies.
  • Include at least two different scholarly sources not utilized previously.
