The document provides information on various sources and methods for conducting consumer research as part of forecasting. It discusses consumer research, consumer segments, and different methods for conducting consumer research including interviews, surveys, analytics, and review mining. Interviews can provide valuable insights but are challenging, while surveys are easier for customers to complete and provide a larger sample size. Analytics focuses on actual customer behavior rather than self-reported behavior. Review mining analyzes reviews of competitors without requiring customer outreach. Understanding customers through research helps companies better target different consumer segments.

Choose a human service agency or program with which you are familiar. It can be the one you have been examining throughout the course or one you wish to examine. Assume that you are either a mid-level manager or an outside consultant and have been asked to do an internal evaluation of the organization to improve client outcomes while reducing costs.
In a 4 to 6 page paper:
Describe the agency in broad terms including its structure, mission, target audience outcome goals, treatment processes used, size of staff, principle funding sources, and geographic location. This section need not be long, but should be complete enough so that the reader has a fairly clear picture of the organization.
Describe your position as you imagine it as either an internal or an external evaluator include such things as who hired you and your own position, feel free to use your imagination. Assess your relative power in the evaluation situation.
Identify the information you will need to conduct a thorough evaluation.
Identify potential sources of information including representatives of stakeholder groups, written records, opportunities for observation, and any other sources of information that will give you a clear picture of the situation.
Identify methods of obtaining needed information from each these sources and give a rationale for using each of these methods. For example note when and why would you use surveys, individual interviews, focus groups, informal interviews for particular groups.
Discuss the steps you will use in gathering information. Where will you start the process, how will you proceed and what rationale will you use for your choice? (For instance, some evaluators begin with the person who hired them or assigned them to the task with the idea that the evaluation should answer the questions posed by that person. Other evaluators take a more exploratory approach, talking with all the stakeholders to compare various perspectives. Still others begin with the clientele reasoning that ultimately the success of the agency depends on meeting the needs of those it serves.)
Discuss problems you may encounter in the information gathering process. For instance, what parts of the organization are likely to resist the process? How will you overcome their resistance?
What ethical dilemmas might you face in conducting such an evaluation.
In what specific ways do you want your findings to be used? Discuss how and to whom you will report your results so that your evaluation has a positive effect?

Tips For Developing A Successful Remote Interview ProcessAbishAlathukattil
After 2020, the global workforce shifted from prioritizing traditional interview practices to conducting remote interviews. And we all are aware that an in-person interview is vastly different from conducting interviews via Google meet or telephone. Therefore, when hiring a remote worker for a remote position, hiring managers and recruiters want to ensure that the recruitment process is as effective as possible and the company is hiring the best talent for themselves. Let’s take a look at some tips for developing a successful remote interview process that will get the best candidates for your company.

Introduction
In this paper I will cover how best to recruit and staff a coffee shop. This strategy can be used by the coffee shop for the next three years. I will also create a communication message that can be used as a brand for the purpose of attracting applicants for the open positions, as well as selecting the best communication medium and explain why I chose this course of action over others. I will also include the selection process that will be used for staffing the coffee shop. In this paper, I will also include the types of initial and substantive assessment methods that can be used to select external candidates and also explain how this assessment will align with the staffing strategy. Lastly I will identify the predictors, which can be used to assess KSAOs.
Recruitment Plan and Strategy
For a recruitment plan and strategy to work for this coffee shop, it is important to have some factors put in place. First it is important to have a good job description. This will involve outlining the expectations I have for the applicants. I will also describe in detail the overall responsibilities for the positions that need to be filled. In the description, I will also include some other features like the main function, duties and responsibilities, physical demands, skills as well as education and past experience. With an outline of this nature, it is obvious that the applicants will have a clear view of what is expected of them. This will play a fundamental role in hiring the best person for the job. It is also important to be clear, so that there is no confusion of what’s expected.
Apart from the job description, finding the right candidates is also another strategy I would recommend be put in place. The coffee shop should target areas where applicants can be found. Some of these areas include referrals from friends or businesses, personal contacts, newspaper ads, human resources agencies, websites and other useful sources. It is also important to include diversity as a recruiting strategy for this coffee shop. This will make it possible for this business to have a wide variety of experienced people who will be productive despite their many differences.
Communication Message
A communication message is important for the image and branding of this coffee shop. With a good message, it is possible that the business is likely to attract many applicants to the job. The most effective message will be “Immediate hiring of experienced candidates”. I believe that this is a strong message from the way it presents itself. First, by the indication that the workers are urgently needed, sends a message to the applicants that the faster they apply, the sooner they may become employed. “Immediate,” also suggests that the organization is focused on the way it does business. This could play a big role .
Online surveys allow companies to collect customer feedback and market research more quickly and at lower cost compared to traditional surveys. They provide real-time results as respondents complete the survey and can be easily distributed to a broad audience via the internet. However, online surveys also face challenges like potential fraud from respondents randomly selecting answers and limited sampling of populations without internet access.

Ideation, Problem Statement, and Solution

Wireframes of the Solution

Go-to-market Strategy
The current economic slowdown has made it increasingly difficult for
companies to reward their employees with raises in salary and bonuses.
Corporations can no longer only rely on augmenting employee
compensation to retain experienced and engaged employees. Companies
may, however, overcome this challenge by implementing an effective
recognition program. Yet opinions differ concerning the ideal elements of a
recognition program. For example, programs vary widely in both the
number and type of award items offered. Determining the optimal
elements of a recognition program can help companies more effectively
increase employee engagement and company loyalty without relying on
increasing salary and bonuses.
In 2010, we (researchers at The Cicero Group) were commissioned by OC
Tanner to identify the characteristics of an employee recognition program
that cause an employee to feel most appreciated by their employer. We
conducted a rigorous study to specifically answer three key questions: (1)
To what degree, if at all, do award items contribute to the recognition
experience? (2) What is the ideal number of award items to choose from?
(3) Do award items create a better recognition experience than their cash
equivalent?
In this paper we will demonstrate that award items not only contribute to
the recognition experience, but are perhaps the most critical element in
helping employees feel appreciated. We also show that too many award
choices in a catalog can detract from the experience, and that the ideal
number is likely in the range of 100 to 500 items. Lastly, we present our
findings which suggest that awards create longer lasting feelings of being
appreciated than cash. We show that because of the fleeting nature of a
cash award, more than half of employees feel more appreciated by
receiving an award item than by receiving cash.

The document discusses a 360-evaluation method used by a nonprofit organization. The organization focuses on helping individuals achieve financial goals through consulting services. It has 10 employees and aims to grow. Employees complete self-assessments and receive feedback from managers every six months. The evaluations determine eligibility for raises and bonuses based on customer service ratings and success within the organization.
Modest research techniques like in-depth interviews, focus groups, surveys, secondary research, competitive research, and communications audits can provide important insights about an organization's target audience at a relatively low cost. These insights can then be used to develop effective marketing strategies and communications, even when budgets are constrained. The presentation provides an overview of various cost-effective research methods and tips for implementing each technique.

The Rules Do Apply: Navigating HR ComplianceAggregage
https://www.humanresourcestoday.com/frs/26903483/the-rules-do-apply--navigating-hr-compliance
HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.
This is a particular pain point for small HR departments, or HR departments of 1, that lack compliance teams and in-house labor attorneys. So, what do you do?
The goal of this webinar is to make you smarter in knowing what you should be focused on and the questions you should be asking. It will also provide you with resources for making compliance more manageable.
Objectives:
• Understand the regulatory landscape, including labor laws at the local, state, and federal levels
• Best practices for developing, implementing, and maintaining effective compliance programs
• Resources and strategies for staying informed about changes to labor laws, regulations, and compliance requirements

The current economic slowdown has made it increasingly difficult for
companies to reward their employees with raises in salary and bonuses.
Corporations can no longer only rely on augmenting employee
compensation to retain experienced and engaged employees. Companies
may, however, overcome this challenge by implementing an effective
recognition program. Yet opinions differ concerning the ideal elements of a
recognition program. For example, programs vary widely in both the
number and type of award items offered. Determining the optimal
elements of a recognition program can help companies more effectively
increase employee engagement and company loyalty without relying on
increasing salary and bonuses.
In 2010, we (researchers at The Cicero Group) were commissioned by OC
Tanner to identify the characteristics of an employee recognition program
that cause an employee to feel most appreciated by their employer. We
conducted a rigorous study to specifically answer three key questions: (1)
To what degree, if at all, do award items contribute to the recognition
experience? (2) What is the ideal number of award items to choose from?
(3) Do award items create a better recognition experience than their cash
equivalent?
In this paper we will demonstrate that award items not only contribute to
the recognition experience, but are perhaps the most critical element in
helping employees feel appreciated. We also show that too many award
choices in a catalog can detract from the experience, and that the ideal
number is likely in the range of 100 to 500 items. Lastly, we present our
findings which suggest that awards create longer lasting feelings of being
appreciated than cash. We show that because of the fleeting nature of a
cash award, more than half of employees feel more appreciated by
receiving an award item than by receiving cash.
Do you understand the experiences of your customers? How about your employees? In this workshop/presentation Shift breaks down Journey Mapping best practices and offers hands-on guidance to perfecting your Journey Mapping skills.
The document discusses a 360-evaluation method used by a nonprofit organization. The organization focuses on helping individuals achieve financial goals through consulting services. It has 10 employees and aims to grow. Employees complete self-assessments and receive feedback from managers every six months. The evaluations determine eligibility for raises and bonuses based on customer service ratings and success within the organization.
Modest research techniques like in-depth interviews, focus groups, surveys, secondary research, competitive research, and communications audits can provide important insights about an organization's target audience at a relatively low cost. These insights can then be used to develop effective marketing strategies and communications, even when budgets are constrained. The presentation provides an overview of various cost-effective research methods and tips for implementing each technique.

The Rules Do Apply: Navigating HR ComplianceAggregage
https://www.humanresourcestoday.com/frs/26903483/the-rules-do-apply--navigating-hr-compliance
HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.
This is a particular pain point for small HR departments, or HR departments of 1, that lack compliance teams and in-house labor attorneys. So, what do you do?
The goal of this webinar is to make you smarter in knowing what you should be focused on and the questions you should be asking. It will also provide you with resources for making compliance more manageable.
Objectives:
• Understand the regulatory landscape, including labor laws at the local, state, and federal levels
• Best practices for developing, implementing, and maintaining effective compliance programs
• Resources and strategies for staying informed about changes to labor laws, regulations, and compliance requirements

3. INTRODUCTION
Qualitative research provides shape to the known
unknowns, providing you with information regarding
how your customers think, feel, and respond to what
you’re working on.
In this, we'll explain some best practices for recruiting
participants for qualitative research. This should help
you save some time and energy when working through
this step- and ensure that you get quality candidates
that will fit your profile and participate in the program.

STEPS TO RECRUITING QUALITY
PARTICIPANTS
Before you begin the process of recruiting participants for your study,
you need to understand precisely what it is you're trying to learn.
5. HOLD A STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEW
Holding a stakeholder interview and asking questions that reveal what
a project is for and what you need to know going into it will give you
the information on who the study should be focused on and help you
see how you can achieve the study's goals.
4 Sample Questions for Stakeholder Interview
1.What’s the objective of this project?
2.What does a successful project look like?
3.What are your concerns, if any, regarding this project?
4.What is the issue that we’re trying to solve with this project?
6. FINE-TUNE SCREENER QUESTIONS
Your screener survey needs to eliminate or select your potential participants
quickly.
In most cases, non-negotiables are related to demographics, such as location,
age, gender, and others.
For example, if you're looking for marketing professionals that use a specific
type of software- this behavior is non-negotiable- but their demographics are
not relevant.
One thing you must avoid is asking “leading” questions. You want to get 100%
honesty from your potential participants.
For example, instead of asking how unhappy they are with the study basis, ask
them to rate their happiness. Then, ask them why they selected that rating.
This will give you an idea of their critical thinking skills.
7. CHOOSE PARTICIPANTS THAT CAN
COMMUNICATE THEIR JOURNEY
When you are performing a qualitative study, you are trying to find the
reasoning behind certain behaviors.
For example, if you're testing a website, you want to know about the
customer's journey through the site and what m a d e them click on certain
links.
3 Sample Articulation Questions
1.Think about the last book you read- describe it and how it m a d e you feel.
2.What is your thought process when you g o shopping for groceries?
3.Describe the next vacation you want to take and why you want to g o there.
8. CONSIDER USING ADVANCED
SCREENING
At Respondent, we provide you with the ability to conduct advanced
screening.
This isn't necessary for every study you'll ever conduct- but some studies
require more articulate participants.
For example, if you want to put together a market research focus group, you
need participants to articulate their thoughts. Additionally, if you have some of
the higher-ups in the company sitting in on some sessions, you want to make
sure the person talking can be just as eloquent when they speak as they are
when they write their answers to screening questions.
9. REVIEW SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS
S o me people participate in user testing/research projects as a side hustle, as
this is an easy way to earn some extra cash.
In some cases, candidates attempt to play the system to get into more
testing opportunities to make more money.
As the researcher, it's up to you to ensure that the potential participants are
who they claim to be. This can take up a lot of extra time and effort.
At Respondent, we can save you time and effort by vetting your potential
participants through their social media accounts.
Additionally, our algorithm will penalize those participants that were no-
shows. Participants with good reviews are favored over the ones that have
bad reviews.
10. OFFER FAIR & QUICK COMPENSATION
One of the most difficult parts of setting up a research study is determining
exactly what type of compensation you want to offer and how much.
Additionally, the location of the study should be taken into account. You’ll
want to offer higher compensation if it’s a face-to-face study versus a
remote one.
Finally, individuals in certain professions/income levels will not be attracted
to a study that offers a low incentive.
If you plan to offer something like an Amazon gift card, Respondent can
handle this for you.
This allows you to focus on the results of your study while we make sure that
your participants are compensated.
11. HAVE B A C K - UP PARTICIPANTS READY
If you've ever used a ride service such as Lyft or Uber, you know that as soon
as your ride ends, you're sent an alert to rate your driver. This tells the
company how the driver is doing.
W e send you a survey to rate the effectiveness of each of your participants.
You will rate the participant as:
Poor (did not meet expectations)
Good (met expectations)
Great (exceeded expectations)
f you already have a list of potential participants, they will be scheduled to
make up for your no-show. This will ensure that your study starts on time.
12. C O N C L U S I O N
W hen you're preparing to conduct a
qualitative research study, you must take
the time to find good-quality
participants.
This can take a good bit of time and
effort.
You should consider using Respondent to
help streamline your qualitative research.
You can vet potential participants
connect with candidates that best fit
your parameters.
