Envision memo

 Over the next eight weeks, you will be responding to the tasks your new boss Daniel Chinn has set out for you in his onboarding program so that he may get a good idea of how you can benefit the company with your management skills. Each week you will follow the directions for the assignment and discuss them with your fellow new hires so that you can develop your own best answers.  This week Daniel Chinn wants to see your “big vision” of the company’s workplace and how it will profit the company going forward. 

The New Virginia Meats, Inc. Workplace

At the end of the week, you as a new management hire will be asked to turn in a memo to the CEO of Virginia Meats (see corporate profile in week one content area) on the vision you have for the company’s workplace.

Brainstorming is a technique that seeks to collect a myriad of ideas about a problem in an effort to find a unique and often innovative way of handling the solution. It can also be a way of collecting information about a situation or produce feedback about a particular topic. Brainstorming works very simply with only three rules: No idea is too far fetched, all ideas are to be accepted by the group for consideration, and the ideas must focus on the topic presented for discussion not whether the idea will work or not. Obviously, many ideas will be discounted later on when constraints like budget or implementation impossibilities may block its consideration for successful implementation. However, for the purpose of this discussion focus only on suggesting ideas from the class material and research which will answer the topic under discussion. Use the following template for your memo format: Memo Format

Directions: 

1. By FRIDAY, complete the following:

  • Using the memo template prepare a memo to CEO Mr. Chinn that describes how you envision the future Virginia Meats workplace.
    • How the use of automation will affect the employees and their work experience.
    • The organizational structure of the company (the types of jobs and the flow of power).
    • The actual work environment (physical vs. virtual) and the type of culture. Hint: how would  “the learning organization model” influence your workplace?
    • The challenges anticipated to make these changes.
    • The memo must contain at least three ideas related to each of the topics up for discussion (i.e. three ideas about the way automation will affect employees, three about job types and company structures, and three about the work environment). You must use course material to support your responses and APA in-text citations with a reference list.

A project charter and RFP

Select a project to work on. Some options are listed below, select a project that you feel comfortable with, and understand (or feel you can easily learn about).

  • Implementing a new software system
  • Developing and launching an E-Commerce Website
  • Implementing a new process in an organization
  • Opening a branch office/new location
  • Starting a new business
  • Deploying a product/service to a customer

Now that you have selected a project, you will begin to develop standard documents used to guide and support your work. In this assignment, you will be creating two separate documents:

  1. A project charter
  2. A request for proposal (RFP) for a portion of your project (assume that you are outsourcing one portion of your project)

 

You may want to utilize templates for these documents; there are excellent free options available at the following sites:

Christine,

Great job with this post. You have included a lot of substantive content here. This is a problem that is seen in many organizations. Great benefits and time off is definitely something that attracts the employee and can definitely serve as a good retention tool. When offered, employees should surely take advantage as much as they can. However what can be done if expenses or budget does not permit the organization to provide “the best”? Organizations can promote unity and create stable work environments that make employees motivated to perform their jobs. Sometimes creating a less stressful environment or a positive environment without quarterly raises can promote retention within an organization. Just job security alone as well as recognition for a job well done can go a long way for an employee.

Write the policy for the Pleasantville School District's person-focused pay program that will be shared with the teacher.

 

You are the HR Manager for the Pleasantville School District. Although it hadn’t done so before, the district recently implemented a person-focused pay program. This program offers a pay increase to teachers who pursue additional education and training. You were on the team that developed this policy, which has been approved but has not yet been disseminated district-wide.

One of the high school teachers has scheduled an appointment with you to review how the program works. You plan to review the policy with the teacher and give him a paper copy as a leave-behind piece.

In this post:

  • Write the policy for the Pleasantville School District’s person-focused pay program that will be shared with the teacher. At a minimum, be sure to address the person-focused pay program’s:
    • Purpose and description, including effective policy dates.
    • Eligibility requirements. (Who is eligible to participate in the program?)
    • Acceptable types of education and training. (What is eligible for reimbursement?)
    • Awards for successful completion of training or education (promotional opportunities, compensation, non-monetary rewards, et cetera).

Note: Remember that well-written policies are understandable and to the point. Keep the policy to one page at most
