OL 600 Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric Performance Management: Employee and Labor Relations Overview For this milestone, due in Module Five, you will analyze HR strategic initiatives of employee and labor relations that positively impact organizational effectiveness. The three critical elements focus on employee discipline, performance management, and employee and labor relations. Scenario For this Milestone, consider the following scenario: Assume the role of a human resources director at a U.S.-based call center that is currently based in the Midwest. The organization plans to expand their call center locations in the states of South Carolina and Tennessee and the country of India and needs to hire 100 employees. Your organization has been primarily hiring “local” talent, many of whom have been relatives of current employees. The Midwest location is union free but does not have well-defined policies to address employee issues. Additionally, the organization’s approach to performance management is very traditional and may not reflect the needs of today’s workforce. As the human resources director, you will create a strategic HR plan that addresses goals related to your organization’s growth. The plan should have an influence across the organization to be successful.  Prompt Refer to the chapter readings and module resources to support your responses to each of the three critical elements below. Carefully read and address each critical element as written, using detailed and informative analysis that conveys critical thinking. The three critical elements are aligned to the organization technical competency within the HR knowledge domain. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: Employee Discipline: Compare punitive and nonpunitive disciplinary approaches, and explain their impacts on employee relations. Identify the steps in a fair employee discipline process and explain the impact to positive employee relations in the organization. Performance Management: Determine the elements of an effective performance management system, and explain how well the employer’s system meets organizational needs. Employee and Labor Relations: Determine the differences between union grievance procedures and nonunion complaint processes, and describe improvements that could be made to a nonunion complaint process. Be sure to incorporate instructor feedback on this milestone into your final submission. What to Submit This milestone must be submitted as a 3- to 4-page Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins.

See attachment.  As a human services professional working with individuals experiencing behavioral health issues, it is easy to get caught up in the review of symptoms of a diagnosis; however, it is important for you to be able to integrate theoretical perspectives and research when addressing psychopathology issues with justice-involved individuals. In this assessment, you will use a theoretical lens to analyze an individual’s diagnoses. Scenario 1 Crystal is a 48-year-old woman from a large city. She lives in a resource-constrained area with marked levels of continuous gang violence and inadequate social services, such as insufficient policing. At the time of treatment, she is married with two school-age children. Crystal was referred for treatment after witnessing a gang-related killing of a 23-year-old male in front of her house. Crystal reported that she knew the young man who was shot, as he lived in the same neighborhood as Crystal. Since the event, Crystal has been feeling scared and does not want to leave her house. She has also felt anger and shame for not having the courage to prevent the shooting. She avoided talking about the event and could not walk past or look at the location of the killing, which was near her front gate. She has had trouble concentrating and sleeping, so she took an over-the-counter sleep aid to help her fall asleep at night. In addition, Crystal described that she struggled to understand why people could be so cruel to each other and reported distress related to her marriage. On assessment, Crystal reported only verbal and emotional abuse, but it later became apparent that she had also experienced physical abuse in her marriage. Crystal is also going through an intake after being arrested for drug possession. Primary Diagnosis: · Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). DSM-5 300.02, ICD-10 (F41.1) · Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). DSM-5 309.81, ICD-10 (F43.10) · Relationship Distress with Spouse or Intimate Partner. DSM-5 V61.10, ICD-10 (Z63.0) Assume you are a human services professional working at a psychological treatment center in a local correctional facility. Your team meets weekly to review the clients and share perspectives to ensure appropriate care is being given. Since this will be your first meeting, your supervisor has asked you to prepare a summary of the client in the selected case, including theoretical perspectives and research regarding the client’s disorder. You will share this summary with your teammates in the meeting. Research the diagnoses for your selected case study to determine common behavioral symptoms associated with each. Research theoretical perspectives that may explain the diagnosis and symptomology. Write a 750-word summary of the symptomology presented by the client in which you: · Explain the behavioral symptoms presented by the client. · Explain how the behavioral symptoms exhibited by the client are either typical or atypical with the provided diagnosis, based on your research. · Describe the client’s diagnosis through the lens of 2 theoretical perspectives. Include details to explain how the theoretical perspectives provide a deeper understanding of the behavioral symptoms and possible causes.

1 Searching Databases Name Institution Course Instructor Date Searching Databases PICOT: does exercising among individuals with a family history of obesity help maintain a healthy weight compared to a control group within one year? Research evidence shows that people with a family history of obesity are more likely to be obese. Although it is recommended that such individuals engage in exercise activities, it has not been established whether regular exercising can lower the risk of obesity by promoting the maintenance of a healthy weight (Zhang et al., 2020). As a result, it is important to establish whether exercising activities will lower the risk of obesity among individuals with a family history of the condition (Park et al., 2020). By only searching the term obesity, there were 619,000 results. However, as more concepts relating to the PICOT question were added, the research results in articles decreased. Adding a second concept to search “obesity risk”, the search results returned 534,000 results. On adding the phrase “family history of obesity” the search results reduced to 16,700. This implies that increasing search specificity narrowed the search results to a specific number of articles. The search for evidence research can be improved by deploying specific strategies that are specific to the research results. The first strategy is to come up with a research topic. The second step is to identify the database. Once the topic has been selected, it is important to identify keywords that will be integrated into the search. Using the Boolean operator helps identify relevant research articles that will help explore the research topic (Walden University Library, n.d.). In the selected topic, the search started with the keyword obesity, followed by narrowing it down to obesity risk, and further to diabetes risk among individuals with a family history of obesity. This way, specific literature that addresses the research issue will identified, which will help learn more about the issue based on research evidence. References Park, W., Jung, W.
