Scenario:
Consider you are an HR manager within a relatively small organization of approximately 65 employees. Recently, there have been a number of concerns voiced about managing employee performance and evaluating it against the goals of the organization. It has been a challenge to align roles and responsibilities within the organization, and there are growing concerns that the problem will worsen as the company continues to evolve and expand. As a result, you have been tasked with the design and implementation of a performance management program. Through your experience and research you have come up with a design that you feel allows for both the consistency and flexibility that a growing company requires in a performance management program.

The next hurdle involves the implementation of the program. How long do you have to complete the implementation? Whose buy-in do you need before the program can go live? In what order would you inform all entities of the details of the new program? What steps could you take to ensure a successful implementation?

In this week’s Assignment you will analyze the process of implementing a performance management program within an organization.

To prepare for this Assignment, you will evaluate an organization with which you are familiar or one that might benefit from the implementation of a new performance management program. You may use publicly traded organizations, if you wish, whose information is readily available on the Internet.

Use the following the guidelines below:

• Identify the organization that you have selected and explain the benefits available to this organization in implementing a new or revised performance management program.
• Identify the stakeholders within your selected organization, Select whose support would be needed. Explain why their buy-in would be necessary.
• Explain the time line of sequenced steps necessary in launching, testing, and auditing a performance management program; and explain your rationale. Identify at which point on the time line each of the key stakeholders should be brought into the process. (Note: Consider this as a section within the paper, not a visual graphic.)
• Identify and describe the key steps to successfully implementing a performance management program.
Be specific and provide examples with references to the literature provided this week.

When looking at the relationship between social justice and juvenile justice, there are two overarching concepts when addressing juvenile delinquency – treatment and punishment. These two concepts have driven a cycle of changes in the juvenile justice system over the years. Your task is to support your premise that your state or city should either implement a philosophy of treatment or punishment for juvenile offenders for a specific crime or criminal justice issue identified in your paper.
•Explain the differences between the treatment and punishment concepts. Build the case for which one you believe has the stronger position based on your research and the crime or criminal justice issue you selected to study.
•Review the juvenile crime statistics between three cities or states in three different parts of the country (e.g., Boston, Chicago, and Seattle) for a crime or criminal justice issue. Incorporate a graphic display to present your findings. Be sure to include at least three demographic items, such as gender, ethnicity, race, education, or socio-economic status, in your analysis. Ensure you standardize your data (i.e., 1:1000; 1:10,000; or 1: 100,000) and incorporate the scale in a key for each chart.
•Identify the prevailing thought in the city or state: Is it treatment or punishment? Analyze the differences in the recidivism rates between the cities or states you have selected? Is recidivism the best indicator of success or failure or should we use a different indicator?
•In Chapters 2 and 3 of the text, our author addresses biological, psychological and sociological theories to help explain juvenile delinquency. Evaluate which of these theories would best support your thesis.
•Support which juvenile justice intervention strategy would be effective to counter the crime or criminal justice issue based on your research?
•Conclude with a summary of which concept (treatment or punishment) best supports the over arching concept of social justice?
