Assuming the role of an HR business partner, conduct an analysis of a department in your current workplace. If you are not currently working or are uncomfortable talking about internal issues in your current organization, feel free to refer to a prior organization/department with which you have experience. You may select any department; it does not have to be an HR department. Organizational and personal identities may be kept private by masking real names if you prefer. Include an introduction to the chosen organization so there is context to the organization. Address your department’s role and contribution to your organization’s strategies (possibly as a SWOT). Evaluate the recruiting strategies in your organization and what changes are needed. What comprehensive recruitment strategies would you include to encourage diversity in your organization from an organizational culture standpoint? How would you assess your organizational compensation structure in a way that is fair and equitable for all employees? What steps would you take around organizational culture and creating an ethical organizational culture? Explain why these recommendations would be effective. What role does mindfulness, dialogue, and collaboration have in this process of inclusion and equity

For this Assignment, as you examine the similarities and differences between CBT and REBT, consider which therapeutic approach you might use with your clients.
Learning Objectives

Assessing and Treating Clients with With Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder is a unique disorder that causes shifts in mood and energy, which results in depression and mania for clients. Proper diagnosis of this disorder is often a challenge for two reasons: 1) clients often present as depressive or manic, but may have both; and 2) many symptoms of bipolar disorder are similar to other disorders. Misdiagnosis is common, making it essential for you to have a deep understanding of the disorder’s pathophysiology. For this Assignment, as you examine the client case study in this week’s Learning Resources, consider how you might assess and treat clients presenting with bipolar disorder.
Learning Objectives
Students will:
• Assess client factors and history to develop personalized plans of bipolar therapy for clients
• Analyze factors that influence pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes in clients requiring bipolar therapy
• Evaluate efficacy of treatment plans
• Analyze ethical and legal implications related to prescribing bipolar therapy to clients across the lifespan
