The Analysis : Mock Action Plan

Mock Action Plan

In around the last five years, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have been issuing increasingly heavy fines and imposing more stringent rules for the work eligibility process for employers. In order to cushion our industry from such fines and position ourselves to be within the law, the Widget Trade Association has created a series of implementations in order to eliminate non-compliance in the coming five years. The Widget Trade Association hopes to accomplish this through the adoption of online technology, training workshops, expertise, and a hierarchical chain of command.

Because the goals of this process are mandated by the state, the most appropriate form of implementation would be through a top down process. This is the ideal way to implement this policy due to the different stakeholders and their respective interests. There are three main stakeholders in this process. First and foremost are the employees that are being audited. Assuming that they are in the country legally and are authorized to work, their only incentive in this process is to retain employment.

This plan also ensures that the correct training processes are adopted and information transfers through an appropriate stream of experts. Finally, the parties/employees and entities will be audited in a system of checks and balances, all the while progressing towards the ultimate goal of being in full ICE compliance.
