Human Resource Management and Project Management

 you are a project manager for a large hospitality firm (e.g., Marriott  International) who will be in charge of the firm’s HQ office relocation.  You have been asked to speak to the HR staff about the move, as many of  them have very little understanding of project management. Also, they  are fearful that this project will end up being a failure because other  projects have failed at the firm.

Question 1:

Developing employees is different than training employees, though human resource functions often tend to group these activities together. Training and development are not always mutually exclusive, though they do have a different focus. Though training programs tend to be focused on improving employee performance in a current job, they may also be preparing employees for future assignments/jobs. In your own words, describe and provide at least one example of each of the following: 

a) the difference between employee development and training programs; 

b) how training programs can be used to support employee development; 

c) how training and development support career planning.

Question 2:

A) Imagine that you are preparing for your first performance feedback session with your employee. You want the session to be effective for the employee, so he/she will have the motivation and knowledge to improve performance. You also want to provide a valid, accurate evaluation of the employee’s performance. What are the steps that you would take to prepare for the session? What sources of data would you consider? Be specific and complete…I am looking for a detailed plan and not just a couple of quick sentences.

B) Assume the role of the employee. How would you need to prepare for your performance evaluation meeting? 

Question 3:

A) Define and discuss in detail the two types of sexual harassment found in the workplace. Your answer should include the actions employers can take to create a legal defense and the actions a person subject to this type of treatment or who witnesses these actions can take. 

B) Evaluate the sexual harassment policies of your organization and the role of the human resource manager. How were they communicated? How were employees trained? Discuss three ideas to improve effectiveness in reducing cases of sexual harassment. 

I have to use course material. Below are the ONLY links I can use.

Discussion

First Post—Module 3

A common form of training is cooperative training. There are two widely used cooperative training methods: internships and apprentice training. In both forms of training, there is a combination of classroom training (formal education) and on-the-job training (experience) that can be used for career development. Based on your experiences, discuss the added value of cooperative training. How do we as HRM professionals objectively determine the “value” of cooperative training? Then, discuss the problems of cooperative training that should be taken into consideration by human resource professionals. Finally, make a recommendation as to how cooperative training can be assessed and used for succession planning.

Support your post with additional information from at least two reputable sources (library and/or web-based). Cite your sources. Bring in your own personal experiences, if applicable.
