Our textbook begins by highlighting the Reflective Learning Method, one technique behind the psychology of studying.  This technique can help you read and learn the material in textbooks more effectively.  It also helps you when taking tests!  We all learn differently, though.  It is very important to know how you learn best.  If you use strategies that work best with your learning style, you will decrease the time you spend and increase the results!

A strategic component and responsibility of the human resources department is the management of the people of the organization, which is frequently called human capital management. As the new HR manager, you have conducted an analysis of your organization and found that performance management processes are highly inconsistent among departments. There are no ties to organizational goals, and departments are free to determine the review criteria for their employees. Some departments have a process of a formal annual appraisal while other departments do not provide employees with any documented feedback on their performance. In performance improvement, some departments have a process of documenting employee performance issues; others seem to follow a process of no documented warnings before recommending termination. With your experience, you recognize the benefits of establishing a comprehensive performance management process that ties individual, group, and department performance, and rewards to organizational goals and success.
Using the Internet and the library, research information on performance management and then develop a detailed plan to present to your chief executive officer (CEO). In this process, you will focus on three key areas of performance management: performance appraisals, tying performance goals with strategic organizational goals, and the disciplinary action/performance coaching process. At minimum, your plan should address the following: 
The value a performance management program brings to the organization 
A discussion of the various performance management programs you considered in developing your final suggestions 
A rationale for your selection of different aspects of your plan 
How your organization will address the three key areas of performance management: appraisals; improving employee performance; and aligning individual performance to group, department, and organizational goals 
A communication plan for informing all employees about the new process 
Training that will be provided to employees and managers 
The additional issues/challenges that need to be considered with the implementation of these programs 
In your research, other areas of performance management the organization might consider for implementation after this initial phase
Note: You are required to use a minimum of 2 scholarly references in your research. Ensure that citations and references are formatted in compliance with APA style.

The company you work for has experienced a significant reduction in revenue lead

The company you work for has experienced a significant reduction in revenue lead

The company you work for has experienced a significant reduction in revenue leading the company to employee layoffs. You are one of several managers who manage a small team (5 people) that works directly with a small group of clients and have been notified that two people from your team are being laid off.
Obviously, this will impact how your team functions. The remaining team members will need to take on the work of the two employees who are no longer there. The clients your team works with will be assigned to new employees. And those employees will now be managing more clients than they did previously.
Your job is to create a communication to the remaining employees on your team to make them aware of the changes, and a communication to the clients to make them aware that they will be working with a new employee.
Submit a Word document in which you complete each of the items below:
Develop a communication document that is clear to the employees and provides them with the information they need to know in order to continue to do their work at the highest level. The communication should also consider the impact of this news on employees and make every effort to be thoughtful and as transparent as possible within the communication.
Identify what form of communication medium is most appropriate (phone call, email, face-to-face, or other medium) at the beginning of the communication with the employees.
Address the communication in a way that indicates whether or not this will be to each individual employee on your team or your entire group of remaining team members.
Develop a communication document for the clients to provide them with the information they need going forward in working with the business. The communication should consider how this news will be perceived by the client and attempt to be thoughtful and transparent as possible within the communication.
Identify what form of communication medium is most appropriate (phone call, email, face-to-face, or other medium) at the beginning of the communication with the clients.
Address the communication in a way that indicates whether or not this will be to each individual client or all of the clients your team works with.
Note: If you choose a phone call or face-to-face meeting, your submission will be the written transcript of that communication.
The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:
Construct communications for relevant stakeholders following a challenging business situation.

  Evaluate legal and regulatory issues and risk management in the human services

 
Evaluate legal and regulatory issues and risk management in the human services

 
Evaluate legal and regulatory issues and risk management in the human services profession.
In the human services field, it is important to recognize situations that carry risks for both the client and the professional. Once identified, risk management techniques can be utilized to protect the client and the professional.
In this assignment, you will apply and evaluate the risk management techniques you have learned in a real-life scenario while evaluating legal and regulatory issues.
Assignment Scenario
Mr. Ashford is a caseworker at the county Human Services Department. One of his clients, Mr. Lainez, is a young man who presents with many issues. He has been in foster care and is about to age out of the program to live on his own. Mr. Ashford will be assisting him with this transition.
To connect with his young client, Mr. Ashford accepts Mr. Lainez’s invitation of friendship on social media. In addition, he provides his agency email address to Mr. Lainez when he asks if there is not another way to make an appointment rather than making a telephone call and going through a receptionist.
Shortly after that, Mr. Lainez experiences several disappointing events. He loses his job, and the young woman he is dating tells him she is no longer interested in seeing him. Additionally, he is struggling to make ends meet and becomes unable to pay the rent on his first apartment.
At his wits’ end, he makes a vague suicidal threat on Facebook and sends a desperate request to Mr. Ashford to set up an appointment as soon as possible. Out on calls, Mr. Ashford does not check his email or his Facebook account for several days, missing Mr. Lainez’s cues. His young client is found dead of an overdose of medication he has been prescribed by the department psychiatrist.
Assignment Directions
Use the readings, the internet, and the Purdue Global Library to research the implications of this case study under current law and practice expectations.
Please be sure to address all of the following in your assignment:
Introduce the case study and list each of the problematic decisions Mr. Ashford made in this scenario, analyzing each in terms of its effect on the outcome.
Identify and explain other choices he could or should have made.
Evaluate the legal and regulatory implications of this case study you learned from your research.
Apply and evaluate the risk management techniques you have learned to this case over the past two units.
Would they likely have led to a different outcome for Mr. Lainez? For Mr. Ashford? Why or why not?
