In the 1990’s, the Financial Industry was known for its discrimination against women (and minorities).  In the 21st Century, tech companies are facing similar challenges.  As an example, a post-employment post by a former female employee at Uber, Susan Fowler, set of a firestorm of other allegations against Uber and other tech companies.  Read this infamous post and tell us what HR seems to have done wrong and what it should have done to respond to these allegations and partner with leadership to address the underlying issues.

Here’s Susan’s Blog Post:  https://www.susanjfowler.com/blog/2017/2/19/reflecting-on-one-very-strange-year-at-uber

The PMBOK (PMI, 2017) described PMO project governance as an oversight function that involves organization stakeholders and includes documented guidelines for roles and responsibilities as well as policies and procedures. Address the following discussion topic key elements:

• Distinguish between the PMO governance function and project governance.
• Present a specific example of PMO governance challenges uniquely experienced by a global enterprise; accentuate ethical consideration.

Imagine a scenario where you are a senior HR leader and have been asked to present to the executive team on human resource management, talent management and its connection to strategy.

Purpose

· Apply the models and theories of Human Resource Management at both the strategic and operational level to improve overall organizational competitiveness.

· Synthesize business competencies to align the human resource functions to support the organization competitiveness and strategic initiatives.

· Apply human resource theory by creating the need for Human Resources Management inside an organization.

· Show how HRM practices contribute to HR models.

Description

· This assignment requires you to create a PowerPoint slide deck of 20 slides with narration (approximately 30-45 minute presentation).

· Your presentation should advocate for the need for HRM. The first two chapters of Slitzer and Dowell (2009) should assist in the creation of this presentation.

You should also include reference to the models within the textbook (specifically Figure 1.2) and explain how the different HRM practices contribute to the model. 

Instructions

You have assumed the head leadership position over a small department within a public sector agency. You have inherited a small but diverse team of employees. 

Your staff consists of the following individuals: 

Melanie has been with the organization for close to 10 years and spends much of her day surfing social media sites. She enjoys her job for the perceived job security and benefits but has little interest in pushing herself for additional monetary gain. When confronted about her social media use and lack of a desire to advance herself, she complains that she does not have anyone to “look up to” within the organization. 

Patrick is the most senior employee. Although he has an excellent record, he is going through a very difficult divorce and is only about one year away from retirement. He has become increasingly preoccupied with these matters. Regardless, having previously served in the military and having worked public service for his entire professional life, he expects much out of himself and has expressed a keen desire to involve himself with your managerial decision-making processes as soon as he is able to sort out some of his home issues. 

Tom, the newest employee, is fresh out of college. He is young and energetic, although not a week goes by where you do not catch him browsing salary surveys or private sector job listings; nevertheless, he is an overly productive employee, and he confides in you that he is worried that he is producing much more than his salary seems to reflect. He also questions the impact that the organization’s work and his own work, in particular, are actually having on anyone.

To complete this assignment, you will need address the components below. 

• Develop      a concise motivation profile on each of the staff members. 
• Correlate      motivational theories to this real-world scenario. 
• Summarize      leadership strategies related to such aspects as work life stages,      expected responses to rewards and punishments, and the degree to which      followers feel they fit the ideal motivation mold of public sector      employees. 
• Consider      how not being mindful of appropriate leadership strategies can be harmful      to organizations. 

Your case study findings and recommendations should consist of no less than two pages, be double spaced, and be written in 12-point Times New Roman font. 

In this week’s readings and activities, you learned about errors in thinking and informal fallacies. Both of these can occur in arguments, and they affect the overall quality of the argument.

Complete the Identifying Fallacies Assessment by following the instructions within the assessment. The final page of the assessment will provide you with a summary of your score and a confirmation that your results have been sent to your faculty member. You will not need to submit anything additional.

Note: You will have 1 attempt at each question. If you leave the assessment before it is completed, your progress will be saved, but you cannot revisit any questions that have already been completed.

Identifying Fallacies Assessment

This week, you learned that fallacies are errors in logic that present themselves in a variety of formats. It is important that you can recognize fallacies when they occur in real-life situations. In this assessment, you will be presented with 14 different real-life examples of fallacies. Some examples will be presented as a graphic or photograph. Others will be contained in audio or video clips.  After reviewing each example, you will be given a list of possible fallacies presented in the example. Your goal is to identify the fallacy presented in the material you just experienced.

This is not a timed assessment, so be thoughtful in your responses.

• Address the following questions in your paper:
  • How does your chosen regulation impact HRM?
  • How does the chosen regulation impact day to day operations in a organization? What amendments have been made to the chosen regulation in the past five to ten years? How have these amendments affected HRM?
• Find peer-reviewed articles.
• Weekly written assignments have a requirement of 4 pages and 5 scholarly resources (this does not include the title or reference pages) in APA format on the information researched from the article and your views as well.
