As an HR manager in a large healthcare organization, you have developed a new reward and
recognition program designed to help increase employee motivation and job satisfaction in a
specific hospital department of your choice. You may choose a clinical or nonclinical department.
Based on the course readings and a minimum of four appropriate sources of research, create a 4
page executive summary suitable for presentation to senior leadership on employee motivation
that includes the following:
1. Determine which department is best suited for the reward and recognition program.
2. Identify a specific goal the employees must work on to be eligible for recognition or to receive
the award.
o Examples include reducing errors, increasing customer/patient satisfaction, or reducing costs.
3. Research a specific motivation theory and determine why this method would be the most
practical and effective for this program.
o Examples are the expectancy theory, equity theory, goal-setting theory, Management by Objectives (MBO), or the four-prong model of intrinsic motivation.
4. Explain why the selected theory would be the most practical and effective for the rewards and
recognition program.
5. Recommend 2–3 types of rewards and/or recognition that would the most effective in
motivating the employees to achieve the goals.
6. Create a communication tool for eligible employees announcing the program, rules, and
awards.
o Examples: Email, newsletter, internal Facebook post.

HR Metrics Proposal
There is a saying that an organization is only as good as the talent behind it.
Organizations often use metrics to measure and monitor employees, and metrics may
vary depending on what is being measured. Although metrics allow leadership to assess
individual, team, and organizational performance, using too many metrics is often
unnecessary and difficult to maintain short term and long term.
Case Scenario
To date, your HR department has not developed or implemented HR metrics. For this
assignment, prepare an HR metrics proposal for the chief financial officer (CFO) for
consideration. Your proposal must identify eight to 10 specific HR metrics that demonstrate the impact it has on the business. Remember, collecting data and calculating
metrics is time-consuming and expensive; it is important to focus on the metrics that
matter most. There are several categories and individual metrics to choose from such as
workforce productivity; employee engagement; recruitment (e.g., new hire turnover, costper-hire, time-to-hire, referral rates, etc.); retention (e.g., overall employee turnover,
performance turnover, etc.); overall HR costs; employee satisfaction; compensation and
benefits; and others.
Prepare your HR Metrics Proposal using the template attached.
• Examine 10 specific HR metrics.
• Define each HR metric.
• Provide the formula.
• Evaluate the collection method that should be used for each metric.
• Evaluate how the data should be gathered.
• Recommend how often these metrics should be collected and reported (monthly,
quarterly, or annually).
• Recommend to whom the metrics are to be presented.
• Explain how these metrics are relevant.
• Explain how these metrics impact the business.
