Expand All

Introduction

Attracting top talent that fits the organization is of considerable importance. The ability to recruit and select talented people is one of the foundational skills for any human resource (HR) professional and one that will be utilized throughout your career.

Preparation

Scenario

For this assessment, choose either option 1 or 2. You do not need to do both. You will apply one of these scenarios in the instructions below. Both options will be graded using the same scoring guide.

Option 1

You are the new HR manager for Java Corp, which specializes in cold coffee and iced tea. Java Corp is small but quickly growing. There are 300 employees in the company and the organization has a history of a stable workforce with very limited turnover. Recently, the company gained over 200 employees and there are a number of supervisory and managerial positions that need to be filled. The CEO has asked you to work with her to fill positions based on an organizational structure she has just created.

New supervisors and managers are needed in IT (one), marketing (one), operations (two), and security (one). Each of these areas has seasoned internal employees eager to compete for jobs, though some may not be as qualified as external candidates. Develop a recruitment and selection plan that is best suited for this situation and make appropriate recommendations to the CEO.

Option 2

Choose an organization to use for this assessment. It can be where you are currently employed or a company with which you are familiar. It must be an organization that is researchable, as you will need to gather and analyze information to complete the assessment. You may use the same organization for the other assessments.

If you choose the organization where you are currently employed, please keep in mind that the analyses you make must be based on facts that can be documented rather than your personal opinion as an employee.

Research the recruitment and selection functions of the chosen organization.

Contact your faculty if you have questions.

Expand All

Introduction

It is essential for members of management to understand the importance of conducting performance reviews. An effective performance management system is a big component of improving employee performance, which ultimately adds to the bottom line of the organization.

Expand All

Introduction

Structuring and communicating a total compensation package that meets regulatory requirements and the needs of a global workforce requires a delicate balancing act between what is required and what will contribute to an effective relationship between employer, employee, and the community or country in which the company operates. Communicating benefits programs to employees can be as important as the benefits themselves. Knowing how to leverage all available compensation options is a necessary skill for any HR professional.

Preparation

Also, create an 812 slide PowerPoint presentation with speaker’s notes to present the new policy and to support it with legal and strategic rationale for the selected organization’s upper management.

Expand All

Introduction

HR professionals are often called upon to develop new workplace policies to increase an organization’s effectiveness and to protect it from possible legal liabilities. Creating a succinct and comprehensive presentation for organizational management and other stakeholders is a valuable skill to possess.

Preparation

Scenario

For this assessment, choose either option 1 or 2. You do not need to do both. You will apply one of these scenarios in the instructions below. Both options will be graded using the same scoring guide.

Option 1

You are the new HR manager for Java Corp. The company has just lost a sexual harassment lawsuit and damages include back pay, front pay, punitive damages, and attorney’s fees. The plaintiff, Ms. Stapel, was a female manager who had a consensual sexual relationship with her male boss, Mr. Rowe. Both moved up in title and responsibility over the past 5 years. After the relationship ended, Mr. Rowe made several offensive comments to co-workers about Ms. Stapel, without her knowledge. Later, a number of other employees, who reported to Mr. Rowe, made offensive sexual comments directly to Ms. Stapel.

The company has a harassment policy but only referred someone who felt harassed to their immediate supervisor and provided no other avenues of complaint. Your first project for Java Corp is to create a formal policy that will protect the employees, the organization, and all stakeholders. You will also prepare a PowerPoint presentation that could be used as a training tool for new employees on the importance of following anti-harassment policies.

Option 2

Choose an organization to use for this assessment. It can be where you are currently employed or a company with which you are familiar. It must be an organization that is researchable, as you will need to gather and analyze information to complete the assessment. You may use the same organization you selected for previous assessments.

If you choose the organization where you are currently employed, please keep in mind that the analyses you make must be based on facts that can be documented rather than your personal opinion as an employee.

Think about a situation in which an employee was sexually harassed at work. Reflect on what the organization did well and what the organization did wrong.

Instructions

Based on your research of sexual harassment and other forms of unlawful workplace harassment, complete the following:

In a word document, develop an anti-harassment workplace policy that includes the following components:

• Objective.
• Prohibited conduct under this policy, including discrimination, harassment, sexual harassment, and retaliation.
• Confidentiality.
• Complaint procedure.
• Employee acknowledgment of policy.

Prepare a PowerPoint Presentation for upper management training. In your presentation:

• Explain the legal basis for protecting employees from harassment with supporting laws or regulations.
• Describe different types of sexual harassment found in the workplace.
  • This can include, but not limited to, quid pro quo and hostile work environment.
• Explain other types of harassment, outside of sexual harassment, to consider in a workplace policy.
• Articulate how an organization can be at risk of harassment claims and how they can best legally protect themselves.
• Summarize reporting and investigation procedures.
  • Specifically, discuss how the issue or complaint is brought to HR’s attention, who is involved in the investigation, how the communication process works with those involved.
• Summarize how the anti-harassment policy should be communicated to employees.
• Analyze organizational benefits realized because of having a sound anti-harassment policy in place.
  • Consider company reputation, employee morale, retention, productivity, and the like.

Additional Requirements

Policy

This part of your assessment should also meet the following requirements:

• Length: 35 pages. Strive to be as detailed as possible in addressing each of the policy’s components above.
• Written communication: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly and professional. Your writing should be:
  • Concise and logically organized.
  • Free of errors in grammar and mechanics.
• Resources: If you use a source in the text of your policy, you need to reference it. The last page of your policy should be your reference list. Format all citations and references in accordance with current .

PowerPoint Presentation

This part of your assessment should also meet the following requirements:

• Audience: Create a presentation suitable for the upper management of your selected organization.
• Length: 812 slides, including speaker’s notes and title and references slides.
• Validation and support: Use a minimum of seven relevant and credible scholarly or professional resources such as the Wall Street Journal to support your work.
• APA format: Format all citations and references in accordance with current APA guidelines. Refer to the Campus page for guidance.
• Complexity: Do not get hung up on adding too many graphics, audio, or video. Select a PowerPoint template appropriate for a professional presentation. Please make sure the background color you choose does not interfere with the font selection and that it is easy to read. Do not overbuild your slides; information that supports and expands on what you say should appear as speaker’s or presenter’s notes.

Note: It is expected that your SafeAssign results for the policy document in Word will have a high percentage match, as you are aligning with legal standards. Your PowerPoint presentation should not be nearly as high. Please make sure you cite your sources within both documents according to current APA style.

Your PowerPoint presentation should be saved as a PDF to properly capture the presenter notes.

Here is how to save PowerPoint as PDF with notes included (Microsoft, n.d.):

• Open your PowerPoint presentation.

Part 1

Write a research paper about mechanistic organizational structure and organic organizational structure in which you address environmental considerations and changes and compare and contrast the two types of structure in terms of their differences and their application to the current environment.

Expand All

Introduction

It is useful to focus on the importance of designing organizations that are flexible and responsive in the hyper-competitive and rapidly changing global marketplace of today. Because of the nature of today’s environment, it is absolutely critical that organizations be flexible, adaptable to change, and completely focused on the customer. This requires that they are able to completely reinvent themselves as necessary. It can literally mean the difference between success and failure.

Instructions

What do we mean when we talk about mechanistic and organic organizational structure? How do these types of structures influence organizational performance and the ability of an organization to learn and adapt to changes in the environment? Is one type preferable over the other?

Complete the following:

• Briefly define mechanistic organizational structure and organic organizational structure.
• Compare and contrast the main differences between the two types of organizational structure.
• Explain how environmental changes translate into mechanistic versus organic organizational structure.
• Describe how the current environment is changing and where you see it heading.
• Compare how mechanistic organizations handle the turbulence of hyper-change and hyper-competition versus how organic organizations address the same issues.
• Explain which type of organizational structure you feel is more applicable to the current local and global environment, and why.

To successfully complete this assessment, you will need to conduct some research into mechanistic and organic organizational structure. You should format this assessment as a research paper following current APA guidelines for style and citing sources, making sure that you also use correct grammar and mechanics. There is no required minimum or maximum page length; however, you should strive to be as detailed as possible in addressing each bullet point, while also being as clear and concise as possible.

Please note: The term environment is used throughout this course to mean all of the external factors that affect an organization. These include, but are not limited to, the overall global market, the industry as a whole, and the financial market.

Part 2

For this assessment, summarize three scholarly articles about strategy secure fit and use the articles, along with a real-world example, to support your ideas about how strategy and structure are related.

Expand All

Introduction

Organizational strategy is determined in many ways by the organization’s structure. Successful implementation of these strategies depends on the structure of the organization and how well the structure supports the organization’s goals.

What is the relationship between strategy and structure in designing a high-performance organization? The strategy will determine whether the structure is oriented toward functions, products, markets, geographies, or work processes. High-performing learning organizations have emerging designs that help connect structures of relationships and flows of information that allow them to evolve and transform, reinventing themselves for long-term sustainability.

Instructions

To prepare for this assessment, first use the Capella library to search for articles using the exact phrase strategy structure fit. From the large selection of scholarly articles, select at least three to use in this assessment.

To complete this assessment, complete the following:

• Provide a brief summary of each of the three articles you selected, along with a brief explanation of why you selected each article.
• Explain how strategy and structure are relatedhow they fit togetherto influence learning and performance. Use the articles to support your statements.
• Describe an example of a real-world organization that you believe has a strong strategy-structure alignment. What are some organizational characteristics that lead you to believe that the strategy is tightly aligned with the structure?

Format this assessment as a research paper following current APA guidelines for style and citing sources, making sure that you also use correct grammar and mechanics. There is no required minimum or maximum page length; however, you should strive to be as detailed as possible in addressing each part while being as clear and concise as possible.

Part 3

Summarize three scholarly articles about learning organizations and use the information in the articles to describe different aspects of learning organizations.

Expand All

Introduction

Like people, healthy organizations “learn.” An organization becomes a “learning organization” when it develops processes, systems, and human resources that are capable of sharing knowledge, continuously innovating, and benefiting from mistakes and failures as well as successes. This process leads to a corporate mindset of continuous improvementalways striving for perfection along the way, understanding that perfection is a state which will never be fully achieved.

What is the relationship between strategy and structure in designing a high-performance organization? The strategy will determine whether the structure is oriented toward functions, products, markets, geographies, or work processes. High-performing learning organizations have emerging designs that help connect structures of relationships and flows of information that allow them to evolve and transform, reinventing themselves for long-term sustainability.

Instructions

To prepare for this assessment, use the Capella library to search for articles using the exact term learning organizations. Select at least three scholarly articles to use in this assessment.

For this assessment, complete the following:

• Briefly summarize each of the three articles you selected and explain why you selected each article.
• Use the information presented in the articles to address the following:
  • Explain what a learning organization is.
  • Describe at least three ways that an organization might “learn.”
  • Describe the benefits of an organization being a learning organization.
  • Describe any disadvantages to an organization being a learning organization.

Format this assessment as a research paper, following current APA guidelines for style and citing sources, making sure you also use correct grammar and mechanics. There is no required minimum or maximum page length; however, you should strive to be as detailed as possible in addressing each part and bullet point while being as clear and concise as possible.

Part 4

Write a research paper in which you define four organizational designs, compare them, and describe how you would use one of them to create an organizational structure that would lead to high performance.

Expand All

Introduction

Organizational design is at the heart of the strategy-structure-fit relationship. The organization’s broad strategy and goals must first be determined before designing the organization. Then the organization design team (usually senior management or the founder) must determine how best to structure the organization in a way that supports the overall strategy. Modern organizations can take on many different types of design. The days of the traditional functional organization are rapidly giving way to project-based matrix, networked, and even virtual designs.

Instructions

To prepare for this assessment, use Capella library to research each of the following designs:

• Functional organization.
• Matrix organization.
• Networked organization.
• Virtual organization.

You will find that the Capella library contains a vast number of articles on each of these organizational designs. You should strive to select at least two for each design in order to get more than one perspective.

For this assessment, complete the following:

• Define each of the four designs listed above and then identify a real-world organization example of each.
• Compare the four types of organizational design in terms of:
  • Structure.
  • Strategies.
  • Challenges they face in today’s environment.
• Choose one of the organizational designs from the four and describe how you would use that design to create an organizational structure that would lead to high performance.

Format this assessment as a research paper following current APA guidelines for style and citing sources, making sure you also use correct grammar and mechanics. There is no required minimum or maximum page length; however, you should strive to be as detailed as possible in addressing each part while being as clear and concise as possible.

Please note: The term environment is used throughout this course to mean all of the external factors that affect an organization. These include, but are not limited to, the overall global market, the industry as a whole, and the financial market.

Part 5

Write a research paper addressing a chosen business theory and its application to current industry practices and environments.

Format this assessment as a research paper, following APA guidelines for both style and citing sources, making sure you also use correct grammar and mechanics. There is no required minimum or maximum page length; however, you should strive to be as detailed as possible in addressing each part while also being as clear and concise as possible.

Please note: The term environment is used throughout this course to mean all of the external factors that affect an organization. These include, but are not limited to, the overall global market, the industry as a whole, and the financial market.

The only thing you need to change in the two Word documents I uploaded is the phrase “AI detector 100% person human”; the text and subject matter must remain the same, but the content must be 100% humanized. Furthermore, regarding plagiarism and AI detection, the results on Turnitin must show 0%.

Discussion Topic: Week 8 Discussion: Second Human Impact Week 8 Discussion: Second Human Impact

Getting Started

This discussion follows the same format as your Week 6 Discussion: First Human Impact, but it will focus on a different set of impacts.

1. First, go to the , and carefully read the Directions and Guidelines and Policies sections.
2. Choose an impact under the Approved Human Impacts to Choose From list for Week 8, observe the impact in your surroundings, and take the two required original photos.
3. Write a cohesive 2 to 3-paragraph reflection that fully meets all expectations outlined in the Directions and the Guidelines and Policies.

Directions for Initial Post (15 points): Due Wednesday

Share Your Reflection in a New Reply

Before posting, review the Key Remindersbelow. Then select Reply and use the Rich Content Editor to format your post.

1. Include a heading that clearly identifies your impact from the list (for example, Impact: Urbanization)
2. Below the heading, paste your full written reflection.
3. Embed your photo(s) directly into your reply: select the Images icon, choose Upload Image, and select your JPG photo(s).
4. Bold your module page references.

Photo 1 must be visible in your discussion post for credit. Photo 2 (showing your face) is required for credit but does not need to be shared with the class. If you prefer, you may attach Photo 2 to an assignment comment for Prof. Kokorowski only. Both photos are required for credit by the assignment deadline, and photos cannot be accepted through the Canvas Inbox or email.

Except for Photo 2, all text and images must be visible in your post.

Directions for One Peer Reply (5 points): Due Thursday

After you post your initial reply, you can view your classmates posts. Please reply directly to one classmate. Choose someone who has not yet received a reply so that everyone is included. If all posts already have at least one reply when you submit yours, you may respond to anyone.

1. Identify one or two specific environmental effects that your classmate discussed that concern you the most and explain why.
2. Choose two specific mitigation strategies from the relevant module page that you think would help reduce the environmental effect(s) that you identified as being the most concerning. Depending on their impact, you will refer to Module 13: What Can We Do About Marine Pollution? or Module 15: What Can We Do About Climate Change?
3. Briefly explain what your two strategies involve and why you think they would be effective.
4. Reference the specific mitigation page that you used.

Build on the conversation rather than repeating what has already been stated.

Only reply to posts that analyze an impact from the approved list for this assignment. Replies to impacts not on the approved list cannot earn credit because the impact does not meet the assignment requirements.

Key Reminders and Grading

Work that relies on outside wording or explanations, even if edited, often introduces language or descriptions that do not match how concepts are presented in our course. This can result in the submission earning a zero on the assignment, even when some of the original ideas come from class content.

The simplest way to meet all requirements is to refer only to our course content, do all of the writing on your own, and support your explanations with at least three bolded, specific module page references.

These reminders highlight the most common reasons students lose credit. Review them carefully before submitting.

• You must choose an impact from the list of Approved Impacts to Choose From. Reflections that focus on an impact not included in the approved list will earn a zero because they are not relevant to the assignment.
• You must include at least three bolded, specific module page references that directly support your explanations.
  • Module page references that do not directly support your explanations do not meet assignment requirements and may result in reduced credit or a zero.
  • Including a module reference that does not correspond to our course content will result in a zero on the assignment.
  • Posts that include no specific module page references will earn a zero on the post because they do not demonstrate the use of course concepts or allow verification of where the information came from.
• Photo 1 and Photo 2 (showing your face) are required to earn credit on the assignment. Missing one or both photos by the deadline will result in a zero on the assignment. Aside from Photo 2, all text and images must be visible in your post; do not attach files or links. Posts that include links or attachments instead of embedded text and images will earn a zero unless corrected before the discussion closes.
• Use only concepts and explanations from our course modules. This is not a research assignment. Use of terms, concepts, or details not covered in class and not cited will result in a zero on the assignment.
• If you use any external sources or AI tools, you must cite them in APA format. External sources must include in-text citations and a full reference at the end. If you use AI tools, include a brief statement explaining how the tool supported your writing.
• AI tools may only be used to support your writing process. Submissions that include language or explanations that are not consistent with how concepts and processes are presented in our course materials will result in a zero on the assignment.

Once you submit your post, you will not be able to edit it. If you need to add something, reply to your post. Submissions will be graded using the attached rubric. To view the rubric, select the Options icon in the upper-right corner of the discussion assignment. Detailed feedback will be provided in Assignment Comments.
