 Please READ and Follow Directions when writing this paper. There should be two parts to this paper a hypothetical case scenario and a intake and assessment form. Through research you should be able to find a free assessment form online with all the information on it. Points will be deducted for not following directions. Remember to combine your papers together as a whole and submit.

One of the major tasks in case management is to obtain information and effectively document that information.

For this part of your portfolio, you will develop a hypothetical case scenario based upon your project topic and create an intake and assessment form. The hypothetical case scenario will be used throughout the entire course project.

Part 1: Develop

Develop a two (2) page hypothetical case scenario on an individual client or a family. The scenario should be in depth and include all the pertinent information that is necessary to complete an intake and assessment form.

Part 2: Research

Conduct some online research on intake and assessment forms that are used in human services. Intake and assessment forms should include all pertinent information about the client and may vary greatly based on the agency.

Part 3: Create

Using information gained from your online research, create a one (1) page intake and assessment form.

Combine your hypothetical case scenario and intake and assessment form into a single Word document.

Use professional language including complete sentences and proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation throughout your paper. Be sure to cite any research sources in APA format. If you need assistance with APA format, refer to this Library and Learning Services APA Guide.

Obtain the Instructor’s approval on the selected organization before writing the Strategic HRM Proposal.

Write a 750-1,000 word strategic human resource management plan. The purpose of this assignment is to simulate the thought process managers use to connect unit goals with organizational strategy. The students are not expected to produce a detailed strategic plan (which in actual organizations can exceed 100 pages). Rather, the expectation is that students demonstrate consideration of the multiple complexities involved in strategic planning.

The assignment is centered on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) model of analysis, and the specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) model of goal setting.

Access the GCU Library, relevant course materials, and Internet resources to research SWOT analysis and SMART goals.

Select an organization to research that has a description of the organization and necessary information available to conduct a SWOT analysis and develop SMART goals.

The Strategic HRM Plan should be in the form of a professional report. There is no single, correct manner of presentation. Critical and creative thinking is expected. The formatting is secondary to the content and application of knowledge. However, the proposal should be organized in a readily comprehensible manner that conveys a thorough understanding of course objectives. Graphics, bulleted lists, and charts are acceptable. Include the following:

1. Introduction that outlines how the human resource goals support the organizational goals.
2. Summary of the organizational description.
3. A SWOT analysis.
4. Three human resource goals that fulfill the SMART criteria.
5. Alignment of human resources goals and strategic plans.
6. Proposal for a job design initiative or an organizational hiring goal to meets the needs of the human resource goals and organizational goals.
7. A conclusion that summarizes the highlights of the plan is presented.

Incorporate three to five resources (including your textbook) to support your Strategic HRM Plan.
