Your highest performing and tenured manager of a 20-person department unexpectedly submitted their two weeks’ notice. Your next-most tenured employee in the department has only 2 years of experience. Additionally, there is a major hospital chain in your area that seems to have the first pick to recruit the talent you need. Develop a 3- to 4-page strategic plan that outlines priorities and steps to mitigate the impact of your employees’ rapid departure. Propose a recruitment plan to fill the managerial position. Develop a pre-boarding checklist and an onboarding plan covering an employee’s first 30, 90, and 180 days with performance metrics.  Identify policies and practices that could have been put in place to proactively avoid this situation. Cite at least 3 reputable references to support your assignment (e.g., trade or industry publications, government or agency websites, scholarly works, or other sources of similar quality). Format your assignment according to APA guidelines.

Learners are asked to respond to the following question for this last discussion in the course: Which parts of the employment life cycle do you consider most important and why?  Resources Employee Life Cycle Impact on Engagement (2018, Feb 28).

Address project quality by discussing the following key topic elements: First,      in your own words, with appropriate support, define the construct of quality and distinguish quality in the context of project management. Then identify one of the common quality tools designated in the PMBOK® Guide (Project Management Institute, 2017), in the course textbook, or based on your research (i.e., data tables, C&E Analysis, or      Pareto Analysis) used in project quality management and rationalize its use in a specific project scenario.

Week 6 Journal A critical part of the mentoring process is creating a visible action plan that captures a group’s theory of change. After reading the chapter, focus on the section titled Make Your Project Visible and use Table 8.3 (do not confuse this with Figure 8.3); reflect on how to put a mentoring plan into action. In the one-page minimum, address the following questions:• How might make a mentoring project’s available resources (e.g., the assets that include time, money, partners, research, and available mentoring expertise) visible allow for thoughtful review by a planning team before, during, and after the project? • How would identifying a mentoring project’s activities and processes (e.g., observing documenting, reflecting, analysis, application, feedback, goal-setting, and modeling) allow for adjustment before, during, and after a project? • How does identifying the expected outcomes for both children and adults involved in a mentoring project increase the chance that the outcomes will be met? • As you reflect on this course, identify and briefly discuss a theme/idea that resonates with you as a leader who is invested in supporting the learning and development of the adults and children involved in early childhood education.
