Created By: Paul H. Resources Director of Human Resources, Utiliscan Corporation
Purpose:
The following conceptual plan for growth and development is being prepared in response to an administrative request from the CEO, CFO, and VP of operations at Utiliscan Corporation. The aforementioned request was presented to the Department of Human Resources following the performance and analysis of a mandatory employee survey. This survey revealed unidentified levels of employee dissatisfaction and several concerns surrounding quality and safety improvements needs in our facilities. The survey was conducted over a two week period and was completed by all 240 of our current employees. This brief conceptual plan works to address specific changes that are needed to our systems, processes, policies, and activities. Although there has not been sufficient time to assemble accurate costs for the listed recommendations presented, each identified deficiency listed below has been presented with its recommendations in order of increasing estimated cost formulated by the Office of Fiscal Services. We have also worked to categorize each of the recommendations as a change to our company’s systems, processes, policies, or activities. Following receipt, review, and acknowledgment of this report, a meeting will be scheduled to discuss a specific course of action with listed priorities of improvement.
