Installing a Nursery in the Work Place - Research Proposal Example

The proposal will evaluate how the installation of a nursery will enable the organization to solve this problem (Langley 121).
Organization Overview:
Hacko limited a company that deals with the production of stationery and office accessories to other companies in the market. Company sales have been falling due to competition from other players in the market. Low production has also affected the company due to the loss of human hours due to parental leaves. The company has two hundred workers of which a third of the workforce are women. Building a nursery in the company will enable the company to save almost a third of its staff from prolonged parental leave (Cohen 52).
Management of Hacko limited: the management has the power to accept the proposal and implement it for change.
Topics to investigate

1. What is the cost of building a nursery?
The company owns a building thus needs only to create a small facility to house the nursery. The cost of furniture and fittings will be around300 dollars for a facility that can easily cater for sixty workers in the company. The facility will cost the company 200 dollars on a monthly basis for running the facility. This is not comparable to the 2000dollars lost every month due to low sales and loss of business to the competition. Using the cost factor to evaluate the efficiency of the proposal, it is evident that the company is likely to save almost 1700 dollars by implementing the proposal.

2. How will it save the organization labor hours?
A more active workforce is likely to be the benefit of the nursery. The parents can take time to check on their kids thus knowing that they are okay will increase their efficiency in the workplace. The proposal drastically cuts short the man-hours lost during the parental leaves by half. The company gives the mother four months of maternity leave while the father two months. With the introduction of the nursery, the company will be able to cut the leave period by half to save on the workforce (Porter 112).
