Individual Project Proposal Consider the following scenario: You have been hired by a large company with branch offices around the country to assist with rollout of a new companywide compliance system. While initially the focus was on implementation of the technology, it was found that success will require at least 10 hours of training for all managers across the country on both the use of the new platform as well as a host of new compliance policies being introduced. Of the options discussed, it was generally agreed than the training should be hands-on and conducted in person at a central location. This will obviously require getting organizational buy in as not all managers are going to be willing to commit to taking time out from their normal responsibilities just for some training. In addition, such large scale centralized training has not been done before by this company; therefore, the CEO wants feedback from participants to evaluate the effectiveness of any training sessions. As a result, your manager has given you the responsibility to develop an outline for a proposed project that would meet this upcoming need. Submit a 2- to 3-page memo that does the following: · Names the project · Briefly describes the project · Identifies potential stakeholders directly or indirectly involved · Specifies the overall objective and any outcomes for this project · Details how success will be evaluated · Highlights what is needed to ascertain the measurable organizational value (MOV) of this project. You will need to make some assumptions (it is even encouraged) but the assumptions must be documented. See below for the grading template for this assignment.

Kaplan gb520 Unit 4 Kaplan gb520 Unit 4 Question Case Study Analysis Read the Case: Title: Working Together for Success: The Balanced Scorecard Solution at Peel Memorial Hospital Author: Bruce W. Harber, Former President, and C.E.O. of Peel Memorial Hospital Currently President and C.E.O. of North Shore Health Board, Vancouver, B.C. Harber, B. W. (1998). The balanced scorecard-solution at Peel Memorial Hospital. Healthcare Quarterly. Retrieved from http://www.longwoods.com/content/16744 Prepare a case analysis on the topic of Performance Management. The case analysis should be a minimum of 3-pages long, double-spaced. Check for correct spelling, grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and usage. Citations should use APA style. Case Analysis Question: How does Performance Management directly affect the success of an organization in meeting its goals and mission? Your analysis of this case and your written submission should reflect an understanding of the critical issues of the case; integrate the material covered in the text and present concise and well-reasoned justifications for the stance that you take. Case Analysis Criteria Your case analysis should consist of: ? A brief analysis of the situation and pending decision problem, as presented in the case, and as relevant to your answer. This should be exceptionally brief and you should assume the person reading the Assignment is familiar with the details of the case. ? Identification of the major issues surrounding the organization or individuals involved with the organization. ? Identification of alternate courses of action to address the issues identified. ? The decision or recommendation for action, with the appropriate supporting arguments. ? The Case Question is designed to guide the direction of your analysis in the case. Your analysis should address and ultimately answer the question. You may discuss your Case Analysis Assignment with the class and Team Members (and you are encouraged to on the Discussion Board or in the Team Area), but you must submit your own original work. 2 | Page Case Analysis Tips Avoid common errors in case analyses, such as: 1. Focusing too heavily on minor issues. 2. Lamenting because of insufficient data in the case and ignoring creative alternatives. 3. Rehashing of case data — you should assume the reader knows the case. 4. Not appropriately evaluating the quality of the case's data. 5. Obscuring the quantitative analysis, making it difficult to understand. Typical “minus (-)” grades result from submissions that… • are late. • are not well integrated and lack clarity. • do not address timing issues. • do not recognize the cost implications or are not practical. • get carried away with personal biases and are not pertinent to the key issues. • are not thoroughly proofread and corrected. Case Analysis Submission Before you submit your Case Analysis, you should save your work on your computer in a location that you will remember. Save the document using the naming convention: Username_Unit4_CaseAnalysis.doc. Make sure your document includes: • Your Name • Date • Course Name and Section Number • Unit Number • Case Name • Page Numbers When you are ready, submit your paper to the Unit 4 Case Analysis Dropbox

Chapter 6 Managing Employee Separations, Downsizing, and Outplacement Chapter 6 Managing Employee Separations, Downsizing, and Outplacement Question Case 6.4 MedEquip Inc., a medical services company with 500 employees, has experienced an extensive business downturn. They are planning to implement a layoff of about 20% of the hourly and managerial workforces. Because of time demands and financial pressure, they will implement the layoff in 30 days. As an HR consultant brought in to help with the layoff, they turn to you for answers. This experience will be traumatic, since MedEquip has “verbally” committed to lifetime employment. They are planning to use work performance as the layoff criterion. Only about 3 areas of the business will be affected — MIS, facilities, and accounting. Management is concerned about security in these areas, and there are minimal backup files available. While it is a large company, MedEquip has built a family atmosphere and everyone feels very close to everyone else. Corporate headquarters is in a fairly small community of about 10,000 people. They have hired a PR specialist to handle the press releases and public communications about the layoff. When the layoffs begin, Olivia and Quincy, two middle managers who will not be laid off, will hold group meetings with the sections involved. They then plan to have professional associates inform others about the layoff. They want you to conduct large group briefings orally. They do not want to give employees anything in print so they won’t be drawn into litigation. 97. Refer to Case 6.4. Given the time frame and number of employees MedEquip will layoff, which of the following is true? a) They are not in violation of WARN because they are laying off less than 50% of the workforce. b) They can offer laid-off employees 60 days of income instead of 60 days warning. c) They are not subject to WARN because they are too small of an employer. d) They are not subject to WARN because they aren’t closing the business. e) They are in violation of WARN and must extend the layoff deadline by 30 days. 98. Refer to Case 6.4. What is your evaluation of their layoff criterion? a) It is not legal. b) It will disproportionately impact women and minorities. c) It is the most common criterion used. They will have no trouble. d) It is more subject to legal challenge than other criteria, but it will help them retain their top performers. e) It will result in the “last in” being the “first out.” 99. Refer to Case 6.4. Given the primary areas affected by the layoff, you should recommend: a) escorting affected employees off-site as soon as they are notified. b) not worrying about security. c) holding the large group termination session at the end of the week so employees can blow off steam over the weekend. d) providing employees an opportunity to “let off steam” in the termination meeting. e) having HR conduct the termination sessions one-on-one with the employees. 100. Refer to Case 6.4. The CEO asks your opinion on Olivia and Quincy’s plan for the termination process. You should tell her that: a) it is a solid and humane way to share the bad news. b) not providing written documents is good, an oral briefing is sufficient. c) having an outsider brief them in a large group is the best way to control any hostile feelings. d) they should also coordinate media relations. e) it is a very poor strategy and violates almost every rule a manager should follow in communicating a layoff. Case 6.5 Organizers Company has been making the most of new business technologies and many of the jobs that previously required many people are taking much less effort. Paul, who is president of the company, sees the need to eliminate some middle managers and institute work teams to eliminate ineffective or unnecessary work processes. He believes that the changes he wishes to make won’t cost the business financially. Most of the middle managers have been with the company anywhere from 10-15 years, but are a long way from retirement. One problem that Paul recognizes is that Zena, an upper-level manager, has been coming to work late, missing deadlines on assignments, and refusing to complete one important assignment, passing it to a line manager. Paul has warned her personally about the consequences for further actions and has even meted out several proscribed disciplinary actions against Zena. Her work habits have not improved and Paul feels he may have to take further action. 101. Refer to Case 6.5. By Paul’s estimation, Organizers Company needs to do which of the following to improve efficiency? a) Downsize. b) Perform a large-scale layoff. c) Offer early retirement incentives. d) Rightsize. e) None of the above 102. Refer to Case 6.5. Paul believes strongly in trying to provide lifetime employment and will use a layoff only as a last resort. What would be the best strategy to reduce middle management? a) Offer early retirement to the employees in middle management. b) Discharge employees in middle management. c) Institute a pay freeze only for employees in middle management. d) Encourage employees in middle management to take voluntary time off. e) Use pay incentives to encourage the middle management employees to quit voluntarily. 103. Refer to Case 6.5. In his plans for reducing the work force, Paul is primarily addressing cost issues relating to: a) creating rings of defense. b) recruiting. c) separation. d) designing job changes. e) c and d 104. Refer to Case 6.5. Paul’s actions towards Zena’s performance is an example of: a) discrimination. b) forcing her to retire. c) arbitrary discipline. d) progressive discipline procedure. e) a ring of defense. 105. Refer to Case 6.5. If Anthony terminates Martha’s employment, this will be an example of a: a) layoff. b) discharge. c) retirement. d) buyout. e) quit. TRUE/FALSE QUESTIONS 106.
