Policy analysis

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A critical aspect of policy analysis is development. Employees are the most valuable asset within an organization. Policies serve as a framework to guide decision making.

Your assignment this week is to analyze the framework toward the creation of a policy and the process involved. Then, you will compare two similar policies from different organizations that address a current HRM issue and analyze if the policies are clearly defined. Examples can consist of but not include: computer usage at work (personal e-mail), cellphone use policy, attire and grooming policy, etc. This will serve as preparation toward revising a policy within your organization. Be sure to consider what you learned during this week’s resources and the additional scholarly resources you gathered to analyze the policy development process.

Prepare an infographic that answers the following questions:

What steps are required in policy analysis?
What collaboration is required to create policy?
What factors contributed to creating policy?
What controversy could emerge during the analysis process?

Policy analysis

 

In your analysis, discuss one existing law, or an area of law as it exists today, and as it creates or reinforces social norms and boundaries. For instance, you could write about reproduction, elder law and policy, marriage law, or could focus on economic or criminal justice policy as they shape families. Respond to the following questions in your analysis: a) How does this area of law work? b) What critiques or observations do you have about this area of law? c) If you were meeting with policymakers and recommending reforms to this area of law (or if you ran for office ourself), what changes would you want to make? You are not required to integrate and cite specific materials from the class, but will likely find it helpful in supporting your discussion. Your policy analysis should be a minimum of 800 words (no maximum). See the assignment guidelines for formatting instructions.

Policy analysis

Leesa, a human services student, comes from a family of teachers and follows news about education closely. She recently read about incidents in which children whose parents/guardians have fallen behind on paying for their school lunches have been told, while in the meal line, that they cannot have any food. The public reaction is very intense and almost exclusively negative, so she is surprised to learn that a state legislator has recently introduced a bill that permits cafeteria workers to refuse to feed children and also requires them to do so when the unpaid balance reaches the price equivalent of 20 meals. Leesa wonders how it is possible for policymakers to believe that this is a good solution to the problem of children’s unpaid lunch bills.It is sometimes the case that helping professionals and members of the general public get involved in issues related to social welfare policy when something happens that outrages them, like children being denied lunch. Suppose you are Leesa and you are genuinely upset by the proposed policy. Answer the following questions:

How do you think policy analysis would be helpful to you?
How could you use critical theory to understand the proposed policy requiring that children not receive lunch when their unpaid balance reaches the price equivalent of 20 meals?
Propose and justify a policy that states what should be done when students’ families fail to pay for the students’ meals.

Stage IV – Policy analysis using an intersectional policy framework approach. Identify strengths & weakness
Part 2: Recommendations
· Design policy recommendation(s)
· Outline the design using a feminist, intersectional approach
· What framing are you using of the issue? How does that inform your recommendations?
Analysis should be evidence-based using previous studies, AND theory-based literature,
Should also include some examples of how the policy is designed and implemented in other contexts
