Focusing on all the actions that would be helpful for the organization to carry out its functions successfully, such as retaining employees, delivering packages after detailed analysis and no work responsibility specified for any employee. All these processes need correction to ensure that the organization delivers quality and has a sustainable and efficient internal and external infrastructure. In order to implement all these processes and get the organization on track, the planned time frame is 12-14 months. The total time frame is 12-14 months broken down into research that can take around 5-6 months, and training the employees can take around 7-8 months.
1. Steps to Complete the Plan
There will be the following steps to complete a plan that includes;
Developing Objectives
Planning
Research
Distribution of tasks
Tracking and assessment
Implementation
The plan comprises following steps, and following each of these will be helpful to implement the plan in 12-14 months. We have developed objectives, and planning of the project is also done; thus, from research onward, further steps will be helpful to implement final changes within the target workplace.
2. The Responsibility of Change
As all the procedures that need corrections to bring the organization on track belong to the human resource management, thus the organization’s human resource department with high authorities will embrace change. Recruitment of the right talent for the organization, managing the retention rate and employee training regarding hardware and software management at work. Along with hiring new employees, the organization also needs the training to help them understand the organization's culture and their tasks with it. It is the responsibility of the human resource department to look for efficient ways to carry out these tasks and address existing gaps in the system. Along with the company's human resource department, additional members from outside of the company will also be employed to give opinions and suggestions to improve practices of the organization and to look over-highlighted tasks specifically.

3. Timeline
Based on the tasks listed above, the total time the project implementation will take is 12-14 months, and most of the time will be spent on research because research about the recruitment strategies, the need for training and employee retention strategies would be conducted to guide decision-making and to carry out the rest of the parts of the plan. After researching each category and finalizing objectives that will take almost 5-6 months, the distribution of tasks among the workforce will be performed. After that, the focus will be on recruitment strategies, and how to retain employees in the workplace will be important, which will take about 1-2 months. The human resource department will plan and develop flexible recruitment strategies that will be employed every time the organization hires new employees and retains them for a long time. And the final task of the plan is employee training. After hiring employees, training is crucial to retain them and keep them updated about the expectations and workplace standards. Training regarding software, hardware, checking operations, quality checks and delivery of packages will be important to ensure that customers are satisfied and every employee understands their duty and responsibility at work. This will take about 7-8 months, and after that, assessment and tracking of the effectiveness of all the services will be conducted to ensure that proposed solutions are meeting with expected results or not.
4. Resources
Both financial and non0-financial resources are required to carry out these tasks. For example, the total budget to carry out the project is planned based on the net income of the company that will be spent quarterly to meet with all the expenses such as training fees, compensation packages for employees to improve their retention, equipment’s for training etc. apart from this, human capital resources are also required. Such as trainers, management, and new employees is very important to the company. Trainers should be highly skilled and can train employees quickly, which will help the company reduce the downtime due to training. Training employees in new innovative and efficient ways to carry out their duties will also help the company. Highly skilled trainers will cost more, but it will help the company for a longer period.

5. Communication
Communication is one of the most important aspects that will help make the project successful. Although the human resource department plays a crucial role in carrying out most tasks, communication with external audits is also crucial to make things smooth and avoid challenges that might occur because of miscommunication or lack of communication. It would ensure that communication is happening between teams regularly and everyone is actively participating to understand their task and responsibilities towards the organization successfully. It would be ensured that the team manager guides everyone and ensures their contributions to the project performance. Regular meetings will be arranged every month to share project performance and to plan for the next moves. In regular meetings, it would ensure that everyone is present, hearing and sharing their opinion without bunking important announcements. Inclusive communication is part of the plan, and every member would be allowed to communicate with others to get any guidance and understanding of things. Clear, concise, and transparent information is crucial to be successful and ensure the planned project's smooth performance (Muszynska, 2017).
Effective communication, collaboration and management of responsibilities will make it easy to achieve outcomes of the project. When all the organization members understand their responsibilities, performing well and achieving expected outcomes would be easy. Respecting each member's opinion and understanding their consent would be important to complete the project on stated deadlines and budget. Without putting the organization in trouble of any kind, whether financial or non-financial, the project is expected to bring it on track and to make it successful.
To conclude, the action plan is divided into different steps discussed above and provides an overview of how the project will be implemented and associated expectations. If all these steps will be followed as it is the outcomes of the project plan will be according to expectations and would bring productivity, efficiency and improvement in its existing operations. The action plan is developed according to the goals and objectives settled in the previous stages of the project; thus, step by step preceding of the plan would be helpful to achieve its outcomes that include employee retention, careful delivery of products after detailed checking and employee training regarding the culture and procedures of the organization to ensure that no gap is left behind that becomes a reason to raise question over the reputation of the company.
