Employee Rewards and Recognition

As an HR manager in a large healthcare organization, you have developed a new reward and recognition program designed to help increase employee motivation and job satisfaction in a specific hospital department of your choice. You may choose a clinical or nonclinical department.

Based on the course readings and a minimum of four appropriate sources of research, create a 4–6 page executive summary suitable for presentation to senior leadership on employee motivation that includes the following:

1. Determine which department is best suited for the reward and recognition program. 
2. Identify a specific goal the employees must work on to be eligible for recognition or to receive the award. 
   • Examples include reducing errors, increasing customer/patient satisfaction, or reducing costs.
3. Research a specific motivation theory and determine why this method would be the most practical and effective for this program.
   • Examples are the expectancy theory, equity theory, goal-setting theory, Management by Objectives (MBO), or the four-prong model of intrinsic motivation.
4. Explain why the selected theory would be the most practical and effective for the rewards and recognition program.
5. Recommend 2–3 types of rewards and/or recognition that would the most effective in motivating the employees to achieve the goals.
6. Create a communication tool for eligible employees announcing the program, rules, and awards.
   • Examples: Email, newsletter, internal Facebook post.
7. Go to the Strayer Online Library and locate at least four quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not quality as academic resources.

This assignment picks up where the last one left off.  Going back to your research paper,  tell us about where you work and how you would propose applying what you learned about your chosen topic to your organization. How, exactly, would you apply the best practices you identified and how would doing so benefit your organization?  Prepare this paper as a proposal (see guidelines for proposal writing attached).  Include five or more solid references in your paper.  Use APA style guidelines; double-space the paper; and aim for the paper to be approximately five pages long, excluding cover page and references.

PLEASE UTILIZE THE UMGC LIBRARY FOR SOURCES – DO NOT USE READINGS FROM THIS COURSE TO COMPLETE THIS ASSIGNMENT.

From your previous the research paper.

Choose one of the topics below that interests you and, using the UMGC library, research best practices in this area.  Summarize your findings.  Please limit resources to those that are less than ten years old, and follow these guidelines for crafting your paper – Research Papers

Topics:  Choose one topic from the list below.  You can choose to explore a narrow issue relative to that topic – for example – if you choose diversity and inclusion, you may be interested in best practices in recruiting women into roles in technology.  Before starting your research, it may help to have a question in mind that you would like to answer – like – “I know companies are moving away from traditional performance reviews. Why is that and what are they replacing them with?”  I’d love to know the question you are trying to answer at the start of your paper.  It would be helpful to choose a topic that would apply to the organization you work for (or one that you most recently worked for) because assignment 2 will ask you to apply the best practices you learned about to your own organization!

• Diversity & Inclusion

respond to this discussion

A project mission is the main purpose of the project. What have you set out to accomplish every day?

A vision statement is something you hope to achieve. What can you hope to accomplish one day?

Goals are non-specific ideas about what you want your company to succeed at. (Like bringing fun and happiness to your town)

Objectives are concrete milestones that help you meet those goals. (Live music, Good food, and exciting events could help you bring fun)

 Explain how balancing the interests of global and local, occupational and functional perspectives may play out in a compensation decision scenario? 

For this project, imagine you have been asked to develop a training  program for several project groups within your organization. The project  groups have been experiencing difficulties in meeting objectives.  Specifically, the problems observed include accurate decision-making and  cohesiveness, power struggles, and even some potential bias against  members. 

You must develop a training program you will facilitate with each of the groups. Your program must

1. Draw attention and help create awareness for these issues observed
2. Suggest solutions and facilitate the groups to help resolve these issues

You must use the material you have learned in Weeks 4-7. You will be  submitting a Powerpoint file. While there is no maximum number of  slides, it should be comprehensive enough to cover the material, while  also not being extremely boring (imagine a 90 minute workshop). It  should also be dynamic, looking to engage employees in the discussion.  Create all workshop materials as well. If you decide to ask for  pre-workshop work to be completed, develop the Powerpoint as if they  have already completed the work, but put in notes that the slide is  referencing work already completed. 

Submit both the Powerpoint and the additional materials as Word documents below

Select a product that you like or use. Using this product as a basis, design and write out the steps you would use to create a sales presentation on this product that includes the following components.

1-Write a minimum of two pages based upon steps presented on pages 188–209 in your textbook with specifics related to the product you have selected. Include the elements below in your description.

a-Describe the four common delivery methods of communicating ideas.

b-Recommend tips for speakers addressing the media.

c-Recommend visual and auditory aids.

d-Describe the strategies used to enhance the effectiveness of the message.

2-Write a one-page (minimum) business letter (sample on page 219 in your textbook) to your supervisor explaining your campaign.

3-Write a half-page memo (sample page 221 in your textbook) to your coworkers outlining the campaign.

4-Add a one-page summary of what you learned from this writing activity and how it will help you in your future career activities. Include in this section the challenges you faced.

Include all of the aforementioned writing pieces in one document, and write a concluding paragraph summing up what you have learned from this writing process. Include any challenges you faced. You may only use your textbook as a resource for this final project. This paper should be a minimum of four pages (not counting the title and reference pages). Use APA style.
