REREFERENCES

Can someone have this done by Sunday evening around 2pm. I need someone who is smart and help make A’s .

Overview

In your new role as chief human resources officer (CHRO) for a major retail organization, you have been tasked by the CEO to conduct a presentation to the management team on employment law awareness within your first 30 days. The CEO informed you that under the previous CHRO, the company was subject to legal action resulting from lack of knowledge of employment law, which had unfavorable outcomes. Avoiding similar experiences is a high priority, and your thorough presentation to the management team is the first big step to success.

Instructions

Prepare a 15 slide PowerPoint presentation in which you:

1. Include cover, agenda, conclusion, and reference list slides, all of which may count toward total slide count.

2. Provide a 1–2 slide overview of employment law based on information found in Chapter 1 of Employment Law for Human Resource Practice (attached below). Note: You may use your discretion to decide which information needs to be addressed as long as your overview is descriptive and relevant.

3. Include in the remaining slides the following required presentation information: 

• o Provide a three-slide minimum covering at least six strong bullet points highlighting a discussion on the roles of employees and employers in terms of determining employment relationships.
• o Provide a three-slide minimum covering at least six strong bullet points highlighting a discussion on the concept of employment discrimination.
• o Provide a three-slide minimum covering at least six strong bullet points highlighting a discussion on the types of discrimination.
• o Provide a three-slide minimum covering at least six strong bullet points highlighting a discussion on retaliation.

1. Go to Basic Search: Strayer University Online Library to locate at least three quality academic resources for this assignment. Note: You may only use the resources listed in the course syllabus and those that are specifically provided by the instructor.

Strategy-driven talent management is considered the most effective way to acquire and maintain top talent. Develop three possible ways that senior leadership might resist the development of a strategy and one way to combat each of these types of resistance to ensure a sustainable talent management strategy remains in place.

Debate the value of leaders who profess to have their own methods to identify high-potential employees. Consider the risks involved with an unstructured method to select future organizational leaders.

Deliverable Length: 

8-10 slides with 200-250 words of speaker notes

Case Study

After much labor and management conflict, this integrated managed care consortium and over 25 unions created this labor management partnership (LMP). Today, it is considered a model of union and labor partnerships for the future of labor and management relations. This collaboration involved over 90,000 workers and changed the fabric of union and management relationships. Instead of being a competitive bargaining process, it became a collaborative partnership of mutual respect to a goal of mutual gains. The collaboration resulted in improved services (increased patient satisfaction), improved financial results, and happier employees. Many are encouraging this model to become a standard for future union and management negotiations.

Develop an 8-10 PowerPoint presentation that addresses the following:

• Describe the unions that were part of this partnership including the type of union (craft, industrial, general, white collar) and whether it is a federal or local union.
• What is the value of having union members participate in decision-making?
• What was the advantage of using a coalition or team-based approach?
• A continuous improvement strategy was used in this case, describe this strategy and how it relates to the focus of the coalition.
• Provide an example of how the model of labor-management relations used in this case could be applied in a different industry

Overview

Leaders address issues and propose solutions. As a leader, you’ll need to stay on top of events that may facilitate or hinder productivity. You must create and implement solutions to address these issues.

In the assignment preparation, you chose an organization, described its organizational issue, and identified how it hinders organization efficiency. This assignment exposes you to complex modern organizational challenges. The solutions you devise should reflect your learning and research of organizational and individual influences in the workplace.

Instructions

The new CEO has selected your consulting firm to provide an analysis of the organizational efficiency.

Write a 2 page, double-spaced paper in which you will present to the CEO your findings during your research steps. You must propose strategic solutions in your paper to include the following:

1. Describe the organization and the issue to resolve: 
   • Provide a brief description of the organization you selected.
   • Present the organizational issue that adversely affected productivity and that you, the consultant, will review and resolve.
   • This information can be summarized from your assignment preparation last week. Make sure to incorporate any feedback that you received from your instructor.
2. Analyze current corporate culture: 
   • How has the current corporate culture facilitated the development of the current issue? Research the organization, dig into the culture, and analyze how it contributed to this issue. Hint: Review the mission and vision statements as well as the corporate Web site.
3. Identify areas of weakness: 
   • What are the organization’s areas of weakness as they relate to the issue? Apply your research on organizational behavior approaches to aspects of corporate culture—such as diversity, teamwork, and motivational strategies—to help identify the areas of weakness.
4. Propose solutions: 
   • What organizational practices would you modify? What solutions would you recommend to management that would help solve the identified weaknesses? As a consultant, you will identify the suggestions and solutions you would present to the organization’s leadership with regard to modifying current organizational practices to resolve the issue.
5. References and citations: 
   • Provide at least two quality resources such as the course textbook, a company Web site, business Web sites (CNBC, Bloomberg, etc.), resources from the Strayer Library, and/or outside sources. Note: Wikipedia and Web-based blogs do not qualify as credible resources.
   • You can find in-depth and quality company information using the Nexis Uni database through the Strayer University Online Library.

6. Formatting and writing standards: 
   • This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards. For assistance and information, please refer to the Strayer Writing Standards link in the left-hand menu of your course.
