HRM/498: Strategic Human Resource Management And Emerging Issues

Read Ch. 8, Incident 2 “There’s No Future Here!”

INCIDENT 2 There’s No Future Here!“Could you come to my office for a minute, Bob?” asked Terry Geech, the plant manager.“Sure, be right there,” said Bob Glemson. Bob was the plant’s quality control director. He had been with the company for four years. After completing his degree in mechanical engineering, he worked as a production supervisor and then as a maintenance supervisor prior to moving to his present job. Bob thought he knew what the call was about.“Your letter of resignation catches me by surprise,” began Terry.“I know that Wilson Products will be getting a good person, but we sure need you here, too.”“I thought about it a lot,” said Bob, “but there just doesn’t seem to be a future for me here.”“Why do you say that?” asked Terry.“Well,” replied Bob, “the next position above mine is yours. Since you’re only 39, I don’t think it’s likely that you’ll be leaving soon.”“The fact is that I am leaving soon,” said Terry. “That’s why it’s even more of a shock to learn that you’re resigning. I think I’ll be moving to the corporate office in June of next year. Besides, the company has several plants that are larger than this one, and we need good people in those plants from time to time, both in quality control and in general management.”“Well, I heard about an opening in the Cincinnati plant last year,” said Bob, “but by the time I checked, the job had already been filled. We never know about opportunities in the other plants until we read about the incumbent in the company paper.”“All this is beside the point now. What would it take to get you to change your mind?” asked Terry.“I don’t think I will change my mind now,” replied Bob, “because I’ve given Wilson Products my word that I’m going to join them.

Scenario: As the head of HR, you have been asked to write a response to the incident in the form of an interdepartmental memo. You must address important issues about the company’s career planning and development program that are a result of the situation with Bob.

Write a 350- to 700-word memo in which you:

Describe what actions might prevent future resignations like Bob’s, and who should manage an employee’s career—the employer or employee.
Recommend changes you would make to the career planning and development program as the head of HR, identify challenges to making changes, and recommend who you would involve in making the changes (non-HR staff can be included if appropriate).
Describe what should be the outcomes of a career planning and development program.
Discuss the impact of your new program on training and/or staff development and performance management strategy.
Summarize a brief policy that you would recommend as an outline to your new career planning and development program.

Use a memo template provided by Microsoft.

Jus needs to use the updated APA 7th edition

The Value of Fair Treatment in the Workplace

The Value of Fair Treatment in the Workplace

You have been hired as a management consultant by a large company to examine the company’s business decisions regarding employee protections. The applicable laws are federal anti-discrimination laws, federal health and safety laws, and employer firing practices related to the employment-at-will (EAW) doctrine.

In response to the three questions below, write a 4–6 page paper in which you do the following:

Analyze, identify, and explain recent legislation, within the last 10 years, that helps to protect employees from discrimination in the workplace. Provide at least two federal legislative protections (Be sure the legislation is just that – passed law).

Provide some insight when the federal legislation conflicts with the state. (ie. what is the Supremacy Clause?)

Explain the EAW doctrine and all exceptions to the doctrine. (hint: There are more than three).Then, look at the scenarios below and determine whether the decision to fire the employee is a smart one. Identify why or why not, and determine all the possible exceptions per the EAW doctrine that are, might be, or could be applicable if the employee sues for wrongful termination.

SCENARIOS FOR QUESTION 2 BELOW:

Brenda, a manager, started a blog on the company website for employee grievances. She noticed that a worker was protesting that no Asian American employees had gotten a raise in two years at the company. The worker also criticized how much the CEO made and how the CEO was “out of touch.” Brenda reprimanded the worker. The next day, the worker talked to fellow co-workers about forming a union. Brenda subsequently fired the worker.

Jason, a department supervisor, requests approval to fire his secretary, Alice. Alice, a devout Christian, has been putting Right-to-Life flyers in the employee break room. Alice is also taking time out to pray each day during the busiest time of the morning. Brian, the head of the accounting department, refused to sign Lori’s leave request for jury duty. Lori is a tax attorney in his department. Brian wants to fire Lori for being absent without permission during their busiest time—tax season.

Peter has worked for the company for one year. He has a rare form of liver disease and works with chemicals that make his condition worse. Peter does not want to stop working, but his boss is not happy with his performance and wants to let him go.

Determine the federal law, requirements and procedures, (from an employer perspective who is hiring employees) regarding undocumented workers and whether they are eligible for state workers’ compensation in your home state. Advocate for or against this practice and substantiate your response with research to support your position.

Healthcare Quality Management – Reciprocal Inhibition

Reciprocal inhibition is a good strategy to change reinforcers in the health care system and that “culture eats strategy.”

You can decrease the frequency of any behavior through punishment, but why not give some thought to reciprocal inhibition? Reciprocal inhibition is the process of defining the opposite of the undesirable behavior and reinforcing the positive instead. Reciprocal inhibition can be useful for leaders in helping change behaviors aiming for high reliability. For example, instead of punishing errors, reward quality.

Considering your organization, or a health care organization you are familiar with, write a 3- to 4-page paper that:

1) Describes how and where reciprocal inhibition might be used to improve patient outcomes in quality and improve patient safety.

2) Explains how using reciprocal inhibition may be an improvement in the culture of quality. Include any steps that will foster a culture of quality in an organization to become a high-reliability organization.

3) Recommends at least one strategy for overcoming the challenges of fostering a culture of high reliability.

Note: Your Assignment must be written in standard edited English. Be sure to support your work with at least five high-quality references, including two from peer-reviewed journals. The Assignment should show effective application of triangulation of content and resources in your conclusion and recommendations.

Inequalities Faced by Migrant Workers

Inequalities Faced by Migrant Workers

Five-page Research paper

For this assignment, first formulate a sociological question related to (i) occupational socialization, (ii) occupational culture, or (iii) occupational inequality. It is advised that you formulate your question based on a specific occupational group. Ask yourself: ‘What occupational group do I wish to research and write about?’ For example, you could focus on migrant workers, computer programmers, police officers, bar tenders, hedge fund traders, or morticians. Second, after reviewing sociological studies on your selected occupational group, begin asking yourself questions about this group that relate to one of the following sociological topics: Socialization, culture or inequality. For example, you will want to ask: ‘What is the process by which individual workers learn their occupational roles and identities?’ Or, ‘what are the norms, values, attitudes, stories and rituals that integrate and regulate employees?’ Or, ‘what are the major forms inequality that stratify this workforce?’ Third, after gathering the information necessary to answer these questions, formulate a thesis — a statement that is put forward as an argument to be supported or proved — that provides a clear explanation to the specific research question you have developed. Lastly, in the body of your paper, provide sufficient evidence — in the form of collected research findings — to support your argument and defend your thesis.
