Qualifications required for the job

If the HR Manager of a  company and you have an exempt open position to fill and have received several  applications/resumes. This department has taken a lot of your time because they don’t get along very well, but yet there has been very little turnover in it. Lots of the  applicants look good on paper and you call several in for interviews. After all the interviewing is done, you find yourself with only 4 applicants that meets all the qualifications required for the job and strangely enough they all scored the same on the pre-employment test. There is:

a minority person, interviewed great but you think his religion could create a major problem

a handicapped person that will need some accommodation to do the job, but not something that would create a financial hardship for the company.

a 66 year old female that you’re sure would fit right in with half of the ladies in the department

the boss’s 25 year old nephew, and your boss is pressing  you to hire the nephew

Without asking for more information or more interviews than what is presented here, which should the HR Manager hire without breaking any laws?

What are the ways and strategies for an organization to retain its employees?

Advice from the management of organizations

Oftentimes, employees would get to hear wonderful advice from the management of organizations. One such advice is that employees must leave all personal issues upon entering the premises in the workplace. Often times too, and more so if the managers or executives are familiar with Organizational Behavior (maybe because they took Organizational Behavior during university), the concept of Organizational Citizenship behavior are conjured to implore employees to leave out personal problems out of the workplace.

By applying the Interactionist Perspective, illustrate the fallacy of the above statement – that one can simply leave personal problems out of the workplace.

By using the Two Factor Theory (also known as Herzberg’s motivation-hygiene theory) – suggest a better way how business organizations can overcome the unavoidable and negative impact of personal problems spilling over in the workplace

 

A Human Resource plan

You have been successful in securing the contract, and you have a lot to do. The management priority is to have a Human Resource plan in place as soon as possible, but you feel that a HR policy is equally important, if not more. Therefore, you have decided to create the outline of HR plan, but to include it together with a memo about creating an HR policy.

Instruction:

You therefore need to prepare:
1. An outline of a human resource plan.
2. A memo concerning the importance of HR policy, the memo should provide examples of regulatory, legal and ethical concerns that should be covered within the policy (living wage vs minimum wage, maternity cover, Equality Act 2010, termination of employment, etc.) which would be important to the Club.

Please discuss why are many of the violence in the workplace and bullying and harassment situations difficult to prevent, and why are often difficult to investigate.  Are violence in the workplace and bullying and harassment really an HR issue, or are they a health and safety issue?  Please describe your position.

 

Concepts and Applications of Information Technology

Concepts and Applications of Information Technology

Purpose of this Assignment The Class Project is the most significant assignment in this course, Concepts and Applications of

Information Technology. As such, it accounts for 40% of the course points. This assignment is

comprised of two deliverables; a SWOT Analysis and a Presentation. The SWOT Analysis is due

in Week 4 (worth 15% of course grade), and the Presentation is due in Week 8 (worth 25% of

course grade).

This assignment gives you the opportunity to demonstrate your ability to research, evaluate, and describe business strategy focused on information technology tools and services. This assignment specifically addresses the following course outcomes:

• Identify the basic components of the information system: hardware, software, data, processes, and people, and how these components are used to support strategic decision making.

• Apply information technology tools for research, data gathering and information analysis, problem-solving, decision-making, and communicating information that aligns with business needs and objectives.

 

Start Here The Class Project for this course focuses on the evaluation of a business or organization and

how they might strengthen their operations through technology, including their information

systems. There are two parts to the Class Project; the SWOT Analysis and the Presentation. You

will use the same business/organization for both parts; however, the grade received on the

SWOT Analysis will not affect the grade for the Presentation (they are separate assignments).

 

Step 1: Choose a Business or Organization

To begin, choose a business or organization that you would like to evaluate – it can be where

you work, a school (UMGC), a place of worship, government entity (e.g., DMV, Secretary of

State, courthouse, etc.), or any other type of organization. Since the focus of the analysis will

involve information technology, the best type of organization to choose is one where you can

envision technology playing a key role in improving products, processes, or services.

*From this point on, the instructions focus on the first deliverable, the SWOT Analysis*

Step 2: The SWOT Analysis (due week 4)

Now that you have chosen a business or organization for your Class Project, it is time to

complete the first deliverable – the SWOT analysis. A SWOT analysis is a framework for

identifying and analyzing an organization’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats —

SWOT stands for: Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threat. Commonly used by businesses,

this tool focuses on factors that are important to strategic decision making. These factors

include both internal and external influences on the viability of the organization.

For more explanations on a SWOT Analysis, go to:

• YouTube “How to Perform a SWOT Analysis”

• Complete Your SWOT Analysis

• Forbes: What Is A SWOT Analysis?

• SWOT Analysis: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats

• Refer to the SWOT examples on Heineken and Walt Disney World (below)

 

You will use a SWOT analysis to help analyze the current health of your organization, and (in week 8), you will identify possible ways the information technology could be used to make it stronger.

 

The SWOT analysis offers a visual way of identifying both the positive attributes of an organization, and areas that need to be recognized and addressed. Thinking of the organization you chose, start by filling out a simple table listing its internal strengths and weaknesses, and external opportunities and threats:

SWOT Table:

 

Task: List 2-3 Strengths and 2-3 Weaknesses

Strengths and weaknesses are associated with internal resources and experiences and include:

 

 

• Characteristics of the business that give it an advantage over others in the industry.

• Positive tangible and intangible attributes, internal to an organization. ▪ Human resources – staff, volunteers, board members, target population ▪ Physical resources – location, building, equipment ▪ Financial – products/services, other sources of income ▪ Activities and processes – programs and processes, online presence ▪ Past experiences – building blocks for learning and success, your reputation in

the community

Task: List 2-3 Opportunities and 2-3 Threats

Opportunities and threats are factors outside of business operations that can contribute to either the make the organization stronger or be troublesome. The ability of a business to identify, control, and adapt to these external factors can make it more profitable:

▪ Market expansion ▪ Complacent/aggressive competition ▪ Changing customer needs and tastes ▪ Economic swings ▪ Changing government deregulations

Step 3: Write the SWOT Analysis

Now that you have identified the organization you will analyze and completed a SWOT table listing the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats for the organization, it is time to write the analysis paper that will be submitted to your instructor/classroom. The paper should include all of the following:

1. Title page – the title of paper, company/organization name, your name, course, and date of submission.

2. Purpose – briefly describe what the SWOT methodology is and the

business/organization you are focusing on.

3. SWOT Analysis – include a SWOT Analysis table and describe each quadrant (strengths,

weaknesses, opportunities, threats) for your organization. Each quadrant should be

clearly identified in the analysis and the description should include the importance of

the attributes to the organization.

4. Conclusion – synthesize the findings from the SWOT analysis.

5. References – cite at least two resources with APA formatted citation and reference.
