Key Assignment
Be sure to incorporate the feedback into your final paper that
you received from your instructor in Week 4.
You are working as a key leader in a fairly new, small biotech
company that has just landed a major government contract that
will necessitate significant growth in the organization's
employee population. This contract requires a broad range of
services to be provided to employees, many of which the
organization currently lacks in its benefit packages. Your task is
to design an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) benefit that
can address the emotional, relational, and mental health needs
of a diverse employee population (from maintenance workers to
scientists). To design this critical benefit, you will need to write
a policy related to what you and your colleagues have decided
to call “Celebrating Human Diversity.” You will also need to
write a Request for Proposals (RFP) document that will help to
identify an appropriate EAP vendor.
Part I: (3-4 Pages)
The “Celebrating Human Diversity” policy.
Be sure to incorporate feedback from your instructor received in
Week 4 into your final paper.
The format of the policy is not as important as the content;
however, please include the following sections:
Purpose
You should include your previous work regarding the debate

2. assignment in Week 1.
Include the position that you took in the debate.
Support your position with evidence.
You should also tie in your position to the policy to strengthen
it.
Application (to whom it applies)

The information that you gathered in Weeks 2–4 that was
related to disorders should also be used to address unusual
situations and the benefits that support employees and their
families.
Benefits that support employees and their families (e.g., the
EAP, medical insurance, wellness program, etc.)
Part II: (6-7 Pages)
The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) Request For Proposal
(RFP). This section should be 6–7 pages. Again, focus on the
content of the RFP rather than struggling with the format. You
will need to include the following information:
A brief summary of the company policy regarding human
diversity
Information about the requesting organization (i.e.,
demographics of the employee population, number and locations
of employees, core competencies of the company, etc.)
This information can be from an actual company or fictional.
The types of issues that your employees and their family
members may need to have addressed (with brief descriptions)
For each type of disorder (i.e., anxiety, mood, dissociative,
somatoform, psychotic, and personality) include descriptive
characteristics.
Prevalence in the U.S. population
Risk factors and prevention
Your perception of the potential impact on workplace
performance
Accepted treatment approaches
Long-term prognosis (i.e., can it get better?)

3. A summary of the services that you expect the EAP to provide
and the expected start date for service provision
Utilize information from your previous work related to mental
health disorders (prevalence, etiology, and treatment
approaches) as you determine what issues may need to be
addressed and the services that need to be included as a part of
the EAP.
For the final Key Assignment, you will write a 10-page paper
(which includes the cover page and reference page). It should be
double-spaced and should follow APA format specifications.
You will include a minimum of 6 peer-reviewed, scholarly
resources (although other resources such as Web sites, online
encyclopedias, etc. can be used, these do not count toward the 6
required sources). Be sure to use APA style for in-text citations
and to list your sources on the reference page.
