Implement a flework policy

Paragraph construction:
Thesis/Claim
Supporting Evidence
Your Analysis of the work presented Make sure to provide a lot of evidence
Your new position as an HRM has provided you with experience in managing a diverse population. For this assignment, you are required to analyze the impact of a flexwork policy within your own organization, a global organization, or an organization of your choice. Once you analyze the flexwork policies, you will design and create your own flexwork policy for your chosen organization, demonstrating the step-by-step process used to develop and design the policy. Your work will be presented during a future workshop for managers. Consider the current human resource management policies within the organization that respond to the changing needs of a global workforce. Your final policy will be proceeded by the design plan.
Be sure to review this week’s resources carefully. You are expected to apply the information from these resources when you prepare your assignments. Your design project and policy should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.

Flexwork Policy
Diversity in the global workplace has challenged organizations to seek alternative means to attract employees. A flexwork policy, which is a work plan that differs from the standard work week (Bornstein, 2013), is one of those means. A standard workweek usually consists of five consecutive 8-hour workdays with a consistent start and end time for each workday. Typically, an employee will request a flexwork arrangement. Sometimes this can be a condition of employment.
Many organizations have incorporated the flexwork policy which requires the approval of the supervisor (Almer, Cohen, & Single, 2003). Participating organizations that have incorporated this type of polity are universities, Google, and NASA to name a few. The purpose of the arrangement is intended to benefit the employee without burdening company operations. To help ensure the employee is working effectively and efficiently under a flexwork arrangement, supervisors develop a telework plan (Bornstein, 2013). This plan establishes guidelines of work, while also benefiting the employee and the organization. Flexwork often improves job satisfaction by increasing job flexibility. It also helps recruit and retain employees.
There are two types of flexwork arrangements, alternative and flexible (Richardson, 2009). The alternative work arrangement is considered a regular work schedule, but not consisting of five consecutive 8-hours a day. For example, working four consecutive 10-hour workdays during the week. The flexible work arrangement differs as it has the employee working a consistent number of hours each day. However, the start and end times vary around a fixed set of core hours. For example, an employee can work four consecutive 10-hour workdays during the week. There can also be combinations of flexible and alternative work arrangements. Supervisors make the final decision about an employee’s flexwork request after evaluating its feasibility.
The construction of a flexwork policy can be devised with the assistance of a design process. The purpose of a design process is to assist in developing policies to achieve your desired outcome (Galinsky, Sakai, & Wigton, 2011).
Steps to consider in a policy design process.
Figure 2 displays the steps to consider in a policy design process. A design process supports the development of policy from concept to completion.

COLLAPSE
Of the four technologies discussed in Goldkind and Wolf’s article, I am most familiar with gamification and mobile technologies. Goldkind and Wolf (2015) state that gamification uses game design techniques, game thinking, and game mechanics in a non-game context by integrating points, badges, rewards, and punishments. As a substance use counselor, this sounds like contingency management strategies used to encourage active participation and engagement in group and individual therapy sessions. Participants earned rewards such as gift cards for consistently attending sessions, punishments for noncompliance, and badges such as being “A-team” members. Goldkind and Wolf (2015) note that game-based interventions target addiction and substance use components. I found that participants were more inclined to practice newly learned techniques and strategies when using contingency management. Goldkind and Wolf (2015) state that the use of mobile technologies has exploded and streamlined client care. My experience with electronic medical records to maintain documentation and the recent use of Zoom to conduct assessments and sessions during the pandemic are all engaging with mobile technologies. These technologies have allowed access to care when physical face-to-face interactions were impossible.
The technology that I want to learn more about is big data. Goldkind and Wolf describe big data as a hybrid concept of big and complex sets of information and the application of digital tools to identify trends in that information. I feel that with the plethora of passive information that individuals freely share if social workers could positively identify trends and patterns, a more proactive approach could be taken to address some of the social concerns present in society.

COLLAPSE
According to Goldkind and Wolf (2015), the four technologies predicted to disrupt social work practice are the following: internet of things, big data, gamification, and mobile technology. I am most familiar with big data and Mobile technology.
As a current case manager, I utilize various systems that provide information to ensure I have the most updated and current information about the population I serve. For example, a case is opened when a detained non-citizen presents a concern to me. The first step in opening that case is to enter the detained non-citizen’s identification number into an ICE computer system. Once entered, I am provided with the client’s identifying information, including a photo, ensuring I am opening a case for the correct non-citizen. This data exchange will also provide me with the immigration history, detention center history, any criminal history, alerts, and communications between Customs & Border Protection, Immigration and & Customs Enforcement, and the detained non-citizen.
Additionally, mobile technology is used daily in my work and personal life. In collaboration with the detention facilities, we have developed a tablet system that allows case managers to communicate with and interview detained non-citizens virtually. This is especially helpful if a non-citizen has requested an interview but is housed in a quarantined pod or restrictive housing. Otherwise, the case manager would be required for the quarantine period to end or interview the non-citizen through the door in restricted housing, which is not conducive to a private interview. While the tablets are convenient, I prefer to interview in person. Despite the facilities assuring privacy, when I was a child welfare case manager, I witnessed a victim of domestic violence being intimidated by her abuser during a virtual court hearing, as he was just off screen until her attorney spoke up. Since then, I have not fully believed in privacy when utilizing technology. I often attend TEAMS meetings via my cell phone. I must remain mindful of my location during such meetings and when discussing anything work-related.
I am not a gamer, but I want to learn about gamification. I have never used gamification and would like to understand this technology better. Based on the reading, it appears helpful to provide coping skills to clients who experience substance abuse and depressive symptoms.

EXPANSION OF MENTAL HEALTH OR SUBSTANCE ABUSE SERVICES BUSINESS PLAN

You did an excellent job with your discussion. Given that this discussion is about our group assignment in week 6, I would specify whether your proposed organization will focus on substance abuse or mental health services (Richins, n.d.). I would also tell us which demographics will benefit most from these new services (Richins, n.d.). When presenting to the board of directors, it’s reasonable to expect they’ll inquire about the nature of the healthcare organization’s health service initiatives (Richins, n.d.). My group, for instance, extended its work in substance abuse treatment from adults to adolescents. We intended to include features such as a gaming area, a 25-meter pool, and a full-sized sports court, especially since we thought adolescents would desire this treatment. I use the information I have already provided in your Week 6 assignment as the basis for my presentation.
Since there is no set APA style for PowerPoint presentations, there is no single correct method of presentation (Walden University Writing Center, n.d-b). The instructor’s name is usually on the first slide of the PowerPoint, right below the course title (Walden University Writing Center, n.d-a). Consider including at least one image in your PowerPoint presentation can help you stand out and captivate your audience. If you use images in your PowerPoint presentation, ensure they complement and highlight your main points rather than competing with or detracting from them (Elliot, 2023). You can still achieve the appearance and feel you want in your presentation slides by choosing more subdued background images (Elliot, 2023). Incredibly effective PowerPoint: I especially appreciate the emphasis on clarity. It’s easy to understand, and the color choices make it legible. Regarding healthcare, I concur with your recommendations. High-quality patient care is only possible if the health service organization meets the aforementioned conditions. You did a well-done presentation on health reforms.
