Managing Diversity Research proposal: Imagine you are the manager of a new health care facility satellite office or community outreach center located in a diverse neighborhood.<\/p>\n
Preparation
\nUse the following case study as the basis of this assessment.<\/p>\n
Imagine you are the manager of a new health care facility satellite office or community outreach center located in a diverse neighborhood. The parent organization opened the facility to address the underserved health care needs of the culturally diverse residents who were not using the services offered at the main facility. The first month of operation saw a very high volume of patients, but since then, the numbers have dropped off drastically. Executive leadership wants to understand why this has happened and what you plan to do about it.<\/p>\n
After careful examination of all aspects of the facility, and talking with some of the neighborhood residents, you have determined that the residents do not feel comfortable coming to the facility because the staff does not represent the diversity of the neighborhood. Staff members were hired for their skill, but their diversity was not considered. Now, you must report to executive leadership what you have learned and how you intend to manage diversity.<\/p>\n
Note: Remember, you can submit all or a portion of your draft to Smarthinking for feedback before you submit the final version of your proposal for this assessment. However, be mindful of the turnaround time for receiving feedback if you plan on using this free service.<\/p>\n
Report Requirements
\nWrite an executive report on the need for a diverse, culturally competent staff, including your plans to address that need.<\/p>\n
Note: The requirements outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the Managing Diversity scoring guide. At a minimum, be sure to address each point. In addition, you are encouraged to review the performance level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed. You are provided an example report, to illustrate what proficient-level work for this assessment looks like.<\/p>\n
Report Format and APA Style
\nUse the Executive Report Template, linked in the Resources, to draft your report. You may also organize the content of your report in a format used in your organization. An abstract is not required.
\nYour report should be 4\u20135 double-spaced pages in length, not including the title page and reference page.
\nApply correct APA formatting to all in-text citations and references.
\nUse Times New Roman, 12-point font.
\nWriting
\nAs you begin composing your report, consider the purpose of the report, the appropriate tone and style, and the expectations of the executive leaders who will be reading it.<\/p>\n
Be clear and concise in your reporting.
\nExpress your main points, arguments, and conclusions coherently.
\nUse correct grammar and mechanics.
\nBe sure to support your claims and arguments with credible evidence from 3\u20135 current, scholarly or professional sources.
\nProofread your writing.
\nReport Content
\nOutline a plan to recruit, hire, and retain a more diverse workforce. Note: Your outline should be a high-level overview of a plan, not a detailed plan.

\nWhat will the interviewing and hiring process look like? Who will do the interviewing? Who will make the final decisions?
\nWhat kind of incentives will you offer diverse employees to retain them? What do you need to know about the culture and values of diverse employees before developing a retention plan?
\nHow will you address issues related to diversity that result in conflict?
\nOutline a plan for the ongoing training and professional development of existing staff in cultural awareness and sensitivity. Consider how your plan can:
\nImprove communications and interpersonal skills.
\nHelp overcome bias and resistance to change.
\nExplain the benefits, to both the organization and the community it serves, of having a diverse and culturally competent workforce.
\nExplain the relationship between health care organizations and communities.

\nDetermine the influence of effective leadership on the development of a diverse and culturally competent workforce.
\nExplain the importance of cultural competence for leaders in an organization.
