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 recruiting 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.

NO PLAGIARISM

Step 1: Please watch the following Ted Talk that examines the cumulative statistical frequency of everyday occurrences: Transforming Statistics into Art.

Step 2: Identify an occurrence of your choosing. The occurrence you identify should be compelling to you. It can be one discussed in the Ted Talk, or you can select one of your own. Please avoid selecting an occurrence that is potentially offensive to others; instead, choose an occurrence that either concerns you or peaks your curiosity. Examples of occurrences may be the prevalence of marijuana use among high school students in the U.S., or the comparison of the prevalence of sleep deprivation among college students in Japan and the United States.

Step 3: Conduct web research to gather at least *two* credible sources that identify the statistics and impact on the community associated with the occurrence you selected. The statistics can report prevalence in a particular U.S. state, the U.S., or any other country or region. The impact of the occurrence should be relevant to the people and/or region you identified. Use APA style in-text citations in your post. At the end of your post, compose APA style citations for your sources.

• Explain the ways in which the occurrence you selected affects us as individuals and as members of a community.  Use at least one APA style in-text citation for this portion of your post.
• Compose APA style citations for the two (or more) sources you used for your post.
