3-2 Final Project Milestone Two: Draft of Workforce Structure

Instructions
In Milestone One, you selected a strategic plan that you will use throughout the course as you work toward final submission. You also described the agency in terms of its current workforce structure. You reviewed how it impacted the culture of the agency. Additionally, you justified implementation of your plan using the description of your workforce structure. In Milestone Two, you will further develop the workforce structure created in Milestone One with additional information regarding personnel. For this milestone, you will submit a draft of Section II (Workforce Structure) using the sample strategic plan that you have selected and the information provided in Milestone One. This draft should be as detailed as possible to allow the instructor to provide significant feedback. The draft should also incorporate the research you have performed up to this point as set forward in Milestone One. Integrate the following elements into the draft of this section:

Explain how the agency’s workforce structure and culture were considered when creating the plan.
Recommend changes to personnel that address retention and program delivery.
Recommend changes to personnel that address recruitment and program delivery.
Evaluate how the plan aligns with current trends in human services.

Signature – Work Papers “Sustainability Concern”

For this paper, you need to select a sustainability concern that is important to you and prepare a 5 – 10 page (single-spaced, 11 font, standard margins) paper related to this. (You can Google “sustainability issues” and find sites/reports that list hundreds of issues!) The paper must include section headers (take these from 1 to 7 below; e.g., “Atlantic King Crab: A Sustainability Concern…” for Section 1; “The Importance of This Concern” for Section 2; “Bob’s Tuna Vessel: Tacking the Challenge” for Section 3, etc.). The paper must include references to material from this course and non-course material (i.e., material that you find on your own). A reference list is not required; however, in-text citations (author
name(s), date) are required (see earlier in the syllabus for a discussion on in-text citations). In all, you can think of this paper as just a series of short responses to 1 – 7 below.

Here is the structure for the paper:

1: Select and describe a sustainability concern (that is, what is?) For example: emissions causes by commercial vehicles

2: Reflect on your experience here at QU (e.g., in your prior classes) and elsewhere and describe why the concern you selected is (or should be) important to (a) you, (b) society, and (c) corporations from a moral (e.g., you can reference a moral theory), social, and/or economic perspective (select at least two of these). For example: emissions/pollution is a concern for A, B, and/or C…for reasons X, Y, and/or Z

3: Select and briefly describe a corporation that you believe can (and should address) this concern; this can be, but need not be, a corporation that you work for. For example: if you work for a company that transports products, perhaps there is an opportunity to improve the efficiency of this transportation process – different routes, different travel times, different vehicles, etc. But again, it doesn’t have to be a corporation you work for…

4: Discuss how the corporation that you selected can benefit from responding to this concern – or, if it can’t benefit, why this is acceptable (given that corporations need profits to compete and survive in the long-term). For example: direct energy savings that result from increased fuel efficiency in the transportation process…

5: Discuss how (a) society and/or (b) the environment can benefit from the corporation responding to this concern. For example: reduced emissions/pollution can benefit…

6: Identify and describe the stakeholders that the corporation that you selected will need to consider and engage in developing a strategy to respond to this concern. Why are these important? For example: drivers, customers, etc…these people are important for reasons X and Y

7: Propose a concise strategic plan (you can use tables, lists, bullets, etc.) to address this concern in the corporation that you selected; in this plan, take the role of a sustainability consultant and offer a recommendation for how executives in the corporation should, e.g., “champion” sustainable development in the corporation, lead the transformation, and connect the sustainability strategy to the broader strategy of the corporation.

See the figure on p. 3 of the Kotter paper (that discusses “leading change” file is attached) in Module 7 for clear insights into the steps that you could consider in this process. In fact, the easiest way to complete this part of the paper is to just list the eight steps and then describe what you recommend for each of these
