  • HR within or outside ?

    Talent is getting harder for organizations to attract and retain, and employee turnover is very costly but there is much more loss than that. Today, teams collaborate and cooperate with each other to develop and complete projects and support customers in business-to-business operations. Internal promotion programs are among the most important attributes of a powerful and recognizable retention effort. Upward mobility is essential to the hopes and expectations of many employees of the organization. Internal opportunities for promotion show a clear commitment by the organization to the development and retention of its employees. In this assessment, the SHRM behavioral competencies of Leadership and Organizational Navigation and the HRM content knowledge area Employee and Labor Relations will support your recommended course of action for an important hiring decision in a workplace scenario.

    Scenario

    You are a newly hired HR professional in a small private-sector company that provides a broad spectrum of products for the cruise ship industry. The company repackages standard personal grooming products, perfumes, and lotions into smaller gift packages appropriate for customer appreciation gifts. There are 300 employees in the firm, and the organization has a history of a stable workforce with very limited turnover. Recently, the company gained over 200 employees and there are several supervisory and managerial positions that need to be filled. The CEO has asked you to work with him to fill positions based on an organizational structure he has just created. It is rumored that the CEO has spoken discreetly to two internal candidates about the position and feels no need to take any action to announce the position internally. It should be noted that the employee manual specifies that all vacant positions be announced both internally and externally. New supervisors and managers are needed in sales (one), marketing (one), operations (two), and security (one). Each of these areas has seasoned employees eager to compete for jobs, though some may not be as qualified as external candidates.

    Your Challenge

    You are now in a situation with a tough call to make. As the responsible HR professional, you must consider and decide which course of action will provide the greatest benefit for the company and its employees, and how to make a persuasive argument for your recommendation. Your options are to support the CEOs guidance, or to take a hiring position that protects the organizations legal posture and maintains an ethical work environment.

    Prepare a 34 page plan that states your recommended course of action. Along with your recommendation, include the following:

    • Analyze how your proposed HR solution to an HR challenge contributes to organizational goals and strategies.
    • Should you just follow the guidance of the CEO, or discuss the consequences of placing unqualified people in managerial roles?
    • If you remain silent without any further discussion, what might the implications be to you and the organization?
    • What is the potential opportunity cost of ignoring outstanding external candidates?
    • Describe key legal factors you considered in the formulation of a proposed HR solution.
    • Explain the role of the HR practitioner in advancing a proposed HR solution.
    • Briefly explain the role you will take in influencing the eventual outcome. Consider aspects of leadership, negotiation, and consultation.
    • What pros and cons are there for promoting internally versus externally? Consider the implications to the organization and its operations when selecting from both of these populations.
    • Discuss the application of any SHRM behavioral competency(ies) to the process of solving an HR challenge.
    • Which SHRM behavioral competencies are most directly applicable to a successful resolution of this challenge, and why?

  • HR a difficult position to fill

    Recruiting supports an organization’s short-, mid-, and long-term human capital needs. It can be a very easy and straightforward process, depending on the region, market, and the field of work. In some fields, prospective employees are readily accessible, and the organization will have the ability to select from a broad group of well-qualified candidates. In other fields, generating potential applicants will be very hard as they are not present, or if they are present, the competition among businesses in the market will be a challenge.

    The nature of work is so very different from job to job and organizational role to organizational role. Each is important and makes valuable but very different organizational contributions. The field of HR studies the nature of work to attract and select the best applicants, and HR professionals follow SHRM’s behavioral competencies to support their decision-making. In this assessment scenario, to find a successful resolution to a hiring challenge, you will discuss the application of any SHRM behavioral competencies to the process of solving the HR challenge and determine which competencies are most directly applicable and why.

    Scenario

    For this assessment, assume you are an HR professional working as an HR business partner for one of the most prestigious nonprofit scientific research centers in the United States. The center is large enough to have its own office of general counsel. The general counsel contains two paralegals and nine attorneys and several of these attorneys are litigators. Recently, one of the assistant general counsels departed for a job at the White House. The general counsel wants the finest and most talented attorney candidates who are practicing in the field of research in a nonprofit setting. You have announced the open position and have had 807 applicants. You chose a group of 12 candidates, all of whom were turned down by the supervisor (hiring manager). The general counsel’s office demanded to see all applicant resumes, and your HR director agreed. After they reviewed all the resumes, they said none were good enough. However, they provided no additional information to you about their preferred applicant qualifications.

    Your Challenge

    While you are the HR business partner to the general counsel, you have many other organizational clients, each with their own needs and expectations, and therefore a limited amount of time to give to this particular client. Given that you have failed to select appropriate candidates, you consider spending some money from your very tight budget to hire a recruiting firm, but that is not a guarantee of success. You are considering the following options:

    1. Recommending to the hiring manager that she reconsider the 12 candidates you selected.
    2. Asking her to allow you to repost the position with some changes to the announcement.
    3. Going to an outside recruiting firm (an expensive option) in spite of your budget constraints.
    4. Considering that something has gone wrong with the entire process, and you need to take a deep look at all the events and actions that have taken place in this recruiting effort by all involved.

    It is important that the option you recommend should offer the greatest return to the organization and its employees.

    Prepare a 34 page plan that states your recommended course of action. Along with your recommendation, include the following:

    • Analyze how your proposed HR solution to an HR challenge contributes to organizational goals and strategies.
    • Weigh the barriers the business partner will face with each of the options.
    • What are the internal implications, if any, to reconsider the 12 candidates and how could that be done?
    • In your response, consider the passage of time against the need for another attorney in the office as well as the impact of cost if you choose to go to an external organization.
    • Describe key factors you considered in the formulation of a proposed HR solution.
    • What ethical considerations are there for recruiting and hiring in this scenario?
    • Integrate material from your references that offer a theory-based relationship to inform ethical considerations.
    • Explain the role of the HR practitioner in advancing a proposed HR solution.
    • Explain briefly your role in influencing the eventual outcome. Consider aspects of leadership, negotiation, and consultation.
    • Discuss the application of any SHRM behavioral competency(ies) to the process of solving an HR challenge.
    • Which competency(ies) is most directly applicable to a successful resolution of this challenge and why?

  • Familial story and connections

    Essay #1 will extend on our reading selections. After reading about Ben Franklins arrival in Philadelphia due to familial disagreements, Louisa May Alcotts familial blunders at Fruitlands, and Kate Chopins fictionalized American mystery regarding familial heritage, please think of your own family story. What is your familial story that connects you to your passions (Franklin), to your convictions (Alcott), or to your secret heritage (Chopin)? Please write an essay that conveys familial connections with a meaningful message. Pick ONE event from your life: Just ONE. DO NOT write a journal of ALL your lifes hardships pick ONE. Once you have that ONE event, write about it in great detail, putting readers in that time/place. Tell your story like the ones you read in this module/unit/chapter. When writing a narrative essay, one might think of it as telling a story. These essays are often anecdotal, experiential, and personal allowing you to express yourself in creative and, quite often, moving ways. Finally, make readers believe that this event changed you in a way that you now understand connections more meaningfully. Using the three stories due in this module/unit/chapter, make connections with their narrator/character/hero and your life. Use MLA to cite your direct quotation, paraphrase, and/or summary (See MLA module). Introduction: The introduction should set the tone for the audience. Let this essay be more creative and fluid but know your audience. The essay should be descriptive while you tell a story. You are trying to persuade readers that this ONE event brings meaning to your familial life, to your familial history, and/or to the way you connect with your heritage; your tone should be assertive and confident. This is about YOU. If there is no point in what you are narrating, why narrate it at all? Convince your readers that this event changed who you are as a person and forever altered how you connect with your family. Always begin with the hook. Prior to writing the thesis, the essay should start with an attention-grabber that moves the reader and invokes curiosity in the topic. In any college essay, students will want to avoid clichs. For the most part, clichs are signs of weak writing at the college level. In addition to avoid sounding ill-prepared, you should also avoid starting the essay with a direct quotation, a definition of a vocabulary word, or a Google says… Finally, end the introduction with a thesis statement; Because I failed fifth grade, my family dynamic shifted in a way that made us closer as a family, happier as kids, and accountable to each other. Body Paragraphs: Next, use your body paragraphs to develop the parts of your story that matter. Remember, this should not sound like a journal or a diary of your lifes major events. However, it should highlight ONE event that you feel is your story about connection. This means that you must include a detailed description of the actual event (Use 5 senses, Show, dont tell about the event), so readers can imagine it. In addition to that moment/event, you need to use the story/ies to support your assertion on how you view/perceive this event. Make references to at least one, if not all, our authors from this first unit/module/chapter. You may summarize their story as it aligns with yours; you may paraphrase one passage as it parallels with your event; you may use a direct quotation/phrase as it speaks to YOUR story. Whatever writer/s you use (ONLY from our course module #1), please provide a Works Cited page at the end of your essay where you provide the citation (see MLA folder on how to create a Works Cited page). Conclusion: Wrap it up talk about how this moment is about Connections in your life. Return to something you said in the introduction and repeat or use the basic concept to wrap up your essay. Points to remember: The essay should be written from a clear point of view. It is quite common for narrative essays to be written from the standpoint of the author; describe it in first person narration. Do not TELL the event, SHOW the event! Use clear and concise language throughout the essay. Much like the descriptive essay, narrative essays are effective when the language is carefully, particularly, and artfully chosen. Use specific language to evoke specific emotions and senses in the reader. If you are writing about death, words like grief, sadness, hurt, pain, sympathy, etc. Details matter! As always, be organized! Start from the beginning of your story by thinking of it as a 4-part process: State it, explain it, elaborate upon it, and finally, offer a new idea (SEEN). The audience should be in the moment with you, hearing, seeing, feeling it all. Writing Style is important. Topic sentences at the beginning of each body paragraph, transition sentences between paragraphs, and fully developed paragraphs (SEEN) are all important (see Grammar folder: on paragraphing). Using correct spelling, not using lowercase i like a text message, and proper use of punctuation (FANBOYS) is always important. Format meets MLA standard Please double space your essay. Use Times New Roman, 12-point font. Make sure only page one has a heading: Your name, my name (Dr. Elwood), course name (EN111 College Writing), date. Page numbers in top right-hand corner of each page thereafter. The must haves: A heading with your name in the top left-hand corner with a title for the essay centered before the essay starts. Double space, 12pt. font, Times New Roman, indent your paragraphs. Write between 1,000-1,500 words which equates to about 3-5 pgs. Please submit PDF or Microsoft Word-only. Do NOT use outside research. Please use at least ONE of the reading selections available in this module. MLA citation required (in-text AND Works Cited page). Works Cited Alcott, Louisa May.
