Typologies that   focus on assumptions about authority and intimacy

Chapter 14 discusses several typologies, including   typologies that   focus on assumptions about authority and intimacy, as well as corporate character and culture.  Think of several organizations (Apple, Target, Best Buy) with which you are familiar either as a customer, an employee, or a manager. Take three of the typologies discussed in Chapter 14 and see whether you can clearly slot each of your organizations into one of them.  Do you believe that quantifying culture dimensions is useful, and under what conditions?  Explain your rationale, connecting back to the Week 4 reading.  Conclude with any insights you derived from this activity. Please include an Introduction, Body, and Conclusion.

Worker/employee and union stakeholder benefit from within the field of employment relations

More than 1,500 Victorian bus drivers go on strike for improved conditions More than 1,500 bus drivers from major operators Dysons and Ventura are in the midst of a 24-hour stoppage that started on Friday morning over working conditions and pay. Key points: • Bus services across Melbourne’s east have stopped as bus drivers take industrial action • The Transport Workers Union say they have reached an impasse in negotiations with operators Dysons and Ventura • The union is calling for a wage increase and improved working conditions Transport Workers Union (TWU) members at Dysons are seeking improved conditions and wage increases, claiming the company is refusing to pass on state government wage subsidies. TWU Branch Secretary for Victoria and Tasmania Mike McNess said that, while rival operator Kinetic has agreed to new conditions in principle, Dysons has not agreed to any proposed changes. The union is asking Dysons to honour a projected 2.19 per cent wage increase set out in government-funded contracts. “We’ve got about a dozen or so operators across Victoria that have passed that on during negotiations,” Mr McNess said. “Dysons, at this stage, have zero on the table, and certainly aren’t prepared to pass on that government-funded increase.” Mr McNess said Ventura had agreed to some conditions regarding a pay increase, but had not reached an agreement with the union on working conditions. Around 100 drivers formed a picket line at a bus depot in Bundoora early on Friday, and blocked buses from heading out on the road. The union said the drivers would remain at the picket line for the duration of their 24-hour work stoppage. “Obviously they’re not very happy about it, they want to know where their wage increase is, what Dysons are doing with that government-funded money, and they want a pay-day ASAP,” Mr McNess said. Driver Gurdeep Singh said he and his colleagues had no choice but to go on strike. “We don’t want the buses to stop, we want them to run, we want to work,” he said. “Since COVID we have been pushed back and back with our hours being cut saying that there’s no work and cutting our times.”

Divisional Lead of Human Resources at a large international mining firm

For this assignment, read the following scenario:

You are the Divisional Lead of Human Resources at a large international mining firm with operations located throughout the world. Because of the growing labour shortage, you send Canadian workers to remote countries and communities to recruit and sponsor newcomers to Canada to work in the Canadian operations in order to build their capacity and ease your skilled trades’ gap. You also deploy Canadian workers to remote countries and communities to work in management positions. In assignment 3, your organization adopted a new compensation structure for the organization that has been largely successful thanks to your efforts, and in fact, 8 out of 10 locations have demonstrated improved performance and productivity.

 

Unfortunately, the last two locations have not received the changes in compensation very well. Both sites are overseas. As the Lead of Human Resources, you understand that human resources management is an applied practice and that to navigate and lead through this possible crisis, you must understand how technology, laws and company policy will either remedy or worsen the situation.

 

Complete the following tasks:

Your task is to make a human resource management program for your company to bring the two outlying sites on-side with your goals. Your approach will be to create:

  1. an employee recruitment, performance management and selection policy
  2. establish an organizational chart to design a new HRM team
  3. an orientation and training program that re-engages employees
  4. a communications strategy that builds shared purpose and understanding by outlining why a new compensation structure is required, supported by course concepts

 

make a paper that outlines the key elements of your plan and how you will apply your expertise to each, with the goal of quelling unrest at your remote country sites.

  • Outline:
    • the three new policies
    • organizational structure for a new HRM team
    • an orientation and training program
    • a communications plan for the new compensation structure.
  • Break your paper down into the key sections that must be covered and outline how you will use each section to appeal directly to your workforce in all countries by linking messaging back to shared goals across all countries and operations.

 

Notes:

  • You must design the program from the scenario provided above.  If there is information that you require that is not noted in the scenario, just make your own assumptions but ensure to note them in your assignment.
  • The assignment details should be captured in 4 – Six pages including the organizational chart for the HRM department.
  • Include a cover page with the course code and course name, the assignment number, the title of your assignment, your student ID, your name, the instructor’s name, and the date the assignment is created.
  • Ensure your first page has the title at the top of the page and the sections of your report have headings and subheadings to chunk your paper into sections for each of the topics you are writing about.
  • Font should be either Calibri or Arial, elecen pt. Text must be 2 spaced.
  • You must cite all your sources of information using @PA formatting.  Remember, personal communications from a professional in the field count as a reference source.
  • Create a separate r{ference page that lists all of your sources that you have cited in text.

 

Proposed bills or recently enacted statutes (Federal or State) that effect business, industry, or commerce

1. Identify two proposed bills or recently enacted statutes (Federal or State) that effect business, industry, or commerce. One way to determine if a bill is a good candidate is to ask if it will effect the inputs, processes, or outputs (either internally or externally) of a particular company or industry, is it regulatory in nature, will effect the costs of doing business, or will effect the markets or customers served by a particular business or industry. You will need to be able to post the URL of the full text of the bill or statute as an attachment.

If you are in Missouri, you may want to start at www.moga.state.mo.us, or you may find a similar site for your state or for the federal legislatures. If you find a bill, do not forget to determine its status in the other house, or if similar legislation is also happening simultaneously in the other house.

You may also want to surf the various election web sites, and those that are published about representatives and senators voting records as well as campaign financing sources and amounts. Most legislators (federal and state) have web sites these days, for constituent communications or for campaigning.

2. For each bill/statute, write  one-page, single space summary of the bill/statute.

Potential for excess demand for health care services

1. This module, I introduced the concept of disequilibrium and emphasized the potential for excess demand for health care services in some areas. I’d like you to consider whether, and to what extent, excess demand should be contained (e.g., through additional management). Where is utilization too high, and who is responsible? Feel free to post an article to make your point, and provide a brief summary.

 

2. In addition, after reviewing the Module 8 Lectures on Telemedicine, propose one change to the current regulations that should be made to protect it from fraud, waste and abuse. Explain the reasoning for your position.

Importance of alignment between performance management and employee retention

  • Assess the importance of alignment between performance management and employee retention, employee engagement and organizational performance.
  • Consider how an organization performs in the absence of one of more of the systems (performance management, employee engagement, employee retention.) For example, how effectively does the organization perform without a performance management system? How engaged are employees when there is no performance management system? Are talented people retained when people are dis-engaged?
  • Additionally, evaluate how effectively your organization (past or present) engages systems to align performance management, employee engagement and employee retention. How are these systems measured and communicated within the organization?
