Need help with hhs 460 week 3 assignment and week 5 final paper. Here is the question beow.

In Week Five you will complete a Final Paper that will focus on evaluating research studies and reports to analyze a specific topic within a Health and Human Services research area.  Review the instructions for your Final Paper in Week Five of the course or in the “Components of Course Evaluation” section of this guide.  This week you will submit a description of your topic area and an outline for your Final Paper.  To begin, select a topic area from the Health and Human Services field.  Your topic should correspond to actual research studies that have been performed.  You may find it easier to locate peer-reviewed sources as you select your topic area, to ensure that there is research available in the area you choose.  Examples of possible topic areas include:

  • Program effectiveness of community-based mental health treatment facilities.
  • Perceptions of ethical competence among human service professionals working in long- term care.
  • Treatment intervention outcomes for veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder.
  • Characteristics of successful job placement programs for special needs adults.
  • Trends in health care legislation and impacts on health and human service delivery.

In the first part of your assignment this week, describe your selected topic area, including the problem or background issues that you would like to address in your Final Paper.  To do this, you will need to visit the Ashford University Library and locate at least eight peer-reviewed sources that pertain to your selected topic area.  Your sources must present actual research studies that correspond to the problem or background of your selected topic area.  Summarize the components, attributes, and/or various segments of the topic area you have selected.  For example:

  • What is the research problem or issue?
  • Who or what is affected by this problem or issue?
  • What are some specific examples of research studies, evaluations, reports, literature reviews, etc. that address it?
  • What are the findings of these sources, and what are their implications on the health and human services field?

Then, create a detailed outline of your Final Paper.  Your outline should include at least headings and sub-headings, with at least a one- to two-sentence description for each.  Indicate within each section which of your sources will apply to that section.  The Final Paper Outline should be two to three pages total (excluding title and reference pages) in APA format.  One page will be the topic area description and summary and one to two pages will be the outline.  Utilize a minimum of eight peer-reviewed sources that were published within the last 10 years and that are cited according to APA format as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.  For assistance with formatting outlines, visit the Ashford Writing Center and the Ashford University Library.

After the meeting with the owner of the manufacturing business, the mandate is clear that the owner is seeking the agency’s assistance in creating and writing job descriptions for all of the positions within the company. Some of these positions include administrative assistants, sales, engineering, and skilled trades, along with many others. There are more than 100 descriptions to write. The owner would like to see a sample job description within one week before he signs the contract to complete the remainder of the job descriptions.

Anthony LePage has just hired you as the hun1an

resources consultant in charge of producing this job

description sample for his new client and has asked

you to answer the following questions.

QUESTIONS

1 Outline what the crucial differences are between

a job description and a job specification.

Instructions

Part 1

  1. Conduct research in order to get information to address the following questions (# 1 and 2) from page 142 of the course textbook. Ensure you use some of the qualitative and quantitative techniques described in the course textbook to help formulate your answers. Include at least two scholarly sources.
    1. Using your HR planning expertise, forecast the demand of labour in the stores and the online environment over the next three years.
    2. Assuming an annual 15 percent turnover level of in-store workers and a 30 percent turnover level of online-focussed employees, determine overall HR supply estimates over the next three years.
    3. Additionally, provide some suggestions of activities you could engage in to determine supply details by internal vs. external candidates.
  2. You are to gather the information and write an executive summary (i.e., formal business report) which documents the results of your research above and presents it in a logical manner for senior management of the franchise.
    1. Your report must be concise (Maximum of 2 pages double spaced, 12-point font excluding cover page and references page).
    2. It must well-written, but in lay terms so anyone can fully understand your reasoning. Follow APA format and include a proper introduction that clearly outlines the purpose and flow of the essay, and a strong conclusion are important elements.
    3. You must also provide a properly cited reference page at the end of the report to support any of your conclusions.
    4. Remember, your objective is to provide an analysis on the labour forecast and turnover for the franchise owner, not simply to answer a series of questions. The questions are to help you focus your research. Your overall grade will reflect the strength of your analysis.

Part 2

  1. Use the research sources that you found in Part 1 in order to get information to address the following questions (# 3) from page 142 of the course textbook:
    1. Do you forecast a labour shortage or surplus?
    2. Develop a clear plan to help address the forecast labour shortage or surplus.

NOTE: your plan will need to include three strategies that focus on at least two of the following areas of HR: Training, Career Development, Total Rewards, and Turnover Management.

  1. You are to complete a 10-minute presentation which documents the results of your research above and presents it in a logical manner for the franchise owner. Your presentation will provide the owner with a high-level summary of the management report, rationale for action, and the recommended HR plan.
    1. Your presentation must be concise (8-10  PowerPoint slides, 12-point font excluding cover page and references page).
    2. It must well-written, but in lay terms. Follow APA format and include a proper introduction that clearly outlines the purpose and flow of the presentation, as well as a strong conclusion are important elements.
    3. You must also provide appropriate academic references (minimum 5) to support your conclusions or recommendations to the owner.

Avoid using Wikipedia or other online resources that do not have a strict editorial process. (NOTE: It is said that at any given time, over 80% of information on Wikipedia is true, but we do not know which 20% is not.
