The second goal the company came up with was to try and improve how employees perceive the company’s HR department. A couple of issues prompted employees to start having a negative perception of the HR department. Generally, the human resources department gets tasked with guaranteeing the welfare of employees within a company. In Global Plastics, Inc.’s case, the HR department failed in its duty to protect employees because the occupational safety and health of employees got threatened by the numerous violations taking place. Employees also felt undervalued because they were used merely as tools for coming up with the company’s budget. When employees feel undervalued at a company, they will feel inclined to seek other companies that will value them and their work.

Courtesy of this, the organization became a tertiary care hospital and developed academic affiliations with numerous higher education institutions (Mayo Clinic, n.d.). The best way to ensure health care professionals are equipped with the requisite skills and knowledge is to take charge of their education and training. The organization was able to capitalize on this through these academic affiliations to ensure that its workforce was provided with the highest quality of education, which integrates its strengths, values, and ethics. Doing this ensured that its staff was able to provide the best care possible to patients, an aspect that immensely contributes to the success associated with the health care organization (Swenson et al., 2019). Educating and training health care professionals is not enough for the organization.

Overview

Different audiences require different communication styles and media. In this assignment, you will communicate the same information to different audiences in different formats.

You have been coordinating with the benefits team to modify the current employee benefits package to support your long-term employee engagement and retention strategy.

After a lot of research and communication with different providers, the benefits team has sent you the following memo regarding the change. As part of the team spearheading the benefits change process, you are tasked with communicating details of the new package to the affected audiences.

Memo

From: Benefits Department

To: Director, Strategic Planning

RE: Change in Benefits

Overview: The company has had the same benefits provider for ten years and we have reached the end of the contract. As premiums and the cost to the company have increased every year, benefits have remained the same and even decreased in some areas. Additionally, employees have been sharing concerns regarding the cost, co-pays, coverage, and options of the current provider. Therefore, in order to conduct due diligence, the benefits team began reviewing other providers last year. Based on the feedback of employees and needs of the company, the following criteria were considered in the search:

Price of premiums

Lower deductibles

Improved dental plan option

Improved eye care plan option

Inclusion of health care savings or spending accounts

Enhanced long-and short-term disability coverage

Wellness programs

Reduced premiums for nonsmokers

After reviewing the different plans offered and extensive consultation with other stakeholders, the benefits team has selected a new program. Compared to the current program, employees will experience the following enhancements in the new program:

Plans with multiple deductible options

Health care savings account

A wellness program that offers access to a weight loss application, incentives for wellness visits and activity logs, and reimbursement for gym memberships and smoking cessation programs

Improved dental plan

Although these were part of the search criteria, the new program does not include:

Lower premiums

Improved eye care plan options

Reduced premiums for nonsmokers

Enhanced long-and short-term disability coverage

Benefits to the company include:

Reduced premiums for the employees engaging in wellness programs

Additional reduction in rates for in-network usage

The option of a “gold plan” for executives that is significantly more cost-effective than the previous plan

The new benefits plan will go into effect on January 1 of the new fiscal year and will be rolled out during the open-enrollment period of the current year.

Please contact the benefits department if you have any questions.

Requirements: 1-2 Pages, 3-4 slides, audio Script

Strategic thinking denotes envisioning an organization’s future and developing creative and innovative strategies to attain this future (Ginter et al., 2018). It entails taking account of various possibilities, anticipating potential challenges, as well as exploring new opportunities to improve an organization’s operations. Strategic thinking promotes open-mindedness and exploration (Ginter et al., 2018). Unlike strategic thinking, which is more abstract, strategic planning is more formal and, thus, structured.
