Final Paper Directions
This paper serves as a culmination of your work this semester. Drawing on the readings and the discussions from the semester, develop a proposal for making the employer of your choosing into a family-friendly workplace. To write your paper, draw heavily on the course readings and any additional research as needed. Your audience for this paper is the head of the human resource department. The paper should be written as a formal presentation with enough information for this person to determine whether they should consider your proposal and proceed with implementation.
In the first section of your proposal, identify the problem. You’ll want to consider it from the point of view of the employees. Remember to consider the numerous groups of employees we discussed this semester. You also need to consider the company’s point of view.
In the second section, provide an analysis of current policies that could be improved or implemented to address the problem(s) you identified.
Next, describe your proposed policies to help improve worklife conflicts. Because this is a proposal and you want your recommendations to be adopted, make sure you highlight which kinds of benefits would help each group of employees in the organization. Be sure to include a cost-benefit analysis to the best of your ability. The analysis should include benefits to employees as well as to the employer. Discuss the financial costs to the organization and employees. If you have access to real numbers and would like to use them so that you can use the proposal in your job, please do so. If you don’t have access to real numbers, you can still provide a general cost-benefit analysis. For example, one policy might require you to hire temporary workers. The cost would be the pay for the temporary workers and any other benefits you’re going to provide the person taking leave. Don’t forget to provide the possible benefits as well.
Implementation and Summary
Discuss how you’ll implement the policy or policies you’ve recommended. Be sure to include any necessary training and keys to success. Remember, you’re trying to have your policy ideas adopted by this workplace, and providing details on how it will be implemented is necessary for the employer to make an informed decision. You’re presenting your proposal to top executives who are more likely to read and respond to succinct points supported by strong research.
