Reality$$Current State

The employer lacks the ability to care for their employees. There is a significant decrease over the years that must be acknowledged.

Over the years, job satisfaction has decreased significantly. According to the employee survey, over the last $4$ years the employees feel that they are not being appreciated. The supervisors are not using their staff to the best of their abilities.

Under the working conditions, the employees feel that they cannot trust their supervisor. There needs to be a significant improvement between staff and the supervisor.

Desired Future State$$Where Would You Like to Be$?$

In order to show that you care for the employees, get to know them by asking about their spouse, children and or their hobbies. The employee should feel valued by the employer. Two years from now, the employee satisfaction survey should see an increase of $15\%$ with the changes that were implemented.

Acknowledge your staff for their hard work. You can do this by complimenting or offering praise to them in private or create a recognition program to boost morale. Also, have weekly staff meetings to address issues and listen to your staff's feedback. Since the last survey and with the implementation changes the desired amount of improvement is $20\%.$

Create an open line of communication to build trust. Such as an open$-$door policy. Employees should feel they can speak their mind without being judged on what is being said. This will be trust between employer and employee. The desired amount of improvement from the last survey should be $25\%.$ The changes implemented should be a steppingstone.

In the Identified Gaps$$Obstacles section, describe obstacles that might prevent the focus areas you previously identified moving from current state to future state. Consider the following in your response:

Skill gaps, organizational culture, and resources among other things

In the Goal Revision section, for each of the goals you created previously, describe whether they need to be revised:

For the goals that do need to be revised, provide a revision and explain your changes based on obstacles you identified above.

For the goals that do not need to be revised, provide rationale for why this goal should remain the same. Support your response.

In the A Way Forward$$Action section, recommend an actionable step that should be taken in order to close the gap between current state and desired future state for each identified focus area and related goal. Your response should include the following for each actionable step:

An explanation on what the step will entail.

Identification of stakeholders who will need to be involved.

Justification for how this step will help close the gap between current state and desired future state.
