What are the current and future states?

Discussion One:  

Assume you are employed as an HR manager for a large retail clothing store. You are tasked with hiring a sales clerk for an open position.  The ideal candidate for this position will possess the following factors: 

1. Have at least a high school education (bachelor’s or associate’s degree desirable).

2. Have experience as a sales clerk or in a related field (such as customer service).

3.  Ability to work with currency and balance a cash drawer correctly.

4. Have good communication skills (for example, speak clearly, make good eye contact)

5: Have good interpersonal skills (for example, demonstrate patience and flexibility and develop rapport easily).

5: Have good selling skills (for example, ability to influence, persuasiveness).

6. Be motivated to work.

Part A: Evaluating Selection Methods

Identify which selection method (e.g., résumé, interview, test, role-play exercise, reference check or personality inventory) you would recommend for each of the six factors listed below. You can use the same selection method more than once if you believe it is appropriate for more than one factor.

1. Education – selection method:  _________________________________________

Part B: Evaluating a Selection System

There are different ways to ensure that a selection system is working. One important method focuses on legal compliance.  As indicated in the reading material, there are two types of discrimination: disparate treatment and disparate impact (also known as adverse impact). 

Disparate treatment discrimination refers to treating applicants differently based on a protected characteristic (for example, age, sex, national origin, religion). Disparate impact discrimination may be unintentional because the intention was for all applicants to be treated equally; however, this equal treatment had an unequal effect related to a protected characteristic. The most common approach to identify adverse impact is to apply the four-fifths rule. The four-fifths rule states that adverse impact exists if the selection ratio of the minority group is less than four-fifths (or 80 percent) of the selection ratio of the majority group. The simplest way to calculate adverse impact is to divide the selection ratio of the minority group by the selection ratio of the majority group. If the result is less than 80%, then adverse impact exists.  

The retail clothing store collected the following hiring data over the past seven years for Department Manager positions:

Males applied:  75; Males hired: 15

Females applied: 115; Females hired: 20

Caucasians applied: 150; Caucasians hired: 30

Minorities applied: 40; Minorities hired: 5 

Calculate the selection ratios for the two groups:

Males: —————-

Females: ————–

Minorities: —————-

Non-Minorities: ___________

Does adverse impact exist when you compare the minority applicant pool with the non-minority applicant pool?  Does adverse impact exist when you compare the female applicant pool with the male applicant pool? Show your calculation for both questions.

Part C: Evaluating a Selection Process

Think about the concepts of reliability and validity in the context of the selection process. Describe what each one means, why it is important, and provide an example.  How are reliability and validity related to each other and why is important for a selection process to be both valid and reliable? 

You may use a word document if you like or provide your answers in the content of your response window.

Be sure to provide the references for the sources of the information you used to inform your analysis including the material provided in the classroom.

Discussion Two: Application

Read the Module 3 Case and in-depth scenario 1. Draft a 1 – 2 page memo to the founders of HSS to address the issues with the selection practices. Specifically, include a) a discussion of the reasons why a selection strategy is necessary to hire the best candidates; b) an explanation to the founders regarding how the selection process should be based on valid and reliable selection criteria, including some examples; and c) a discussion of the selection criteria and methods that could have been used to avoid hiring the wrong candidate for the marketing manager position.  You may use a word document if you like or provide your proposal in the content of your response window.  Be sure to provide the references for the sources of the information you used including the material provided in the classroom.

 Question 1:

HRIS & Social Media

There is no doubt that social media has had an impact on how organizations interact with future and potential employees. After completing your readings for this week, answer the following questions:

• What impact has social media had on HRIS? 
• In your opinion what is the future of HRIS? 

Question 2″SWOT Analysis and Course Summary”  Please respond to the following:

• Create a SWOT analysis of the usefulness of talent management in general. List the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) that could propel an organization toward the creation of a specific method to identify and develop the talent within the organization.
• Using 140 characters or less (the length of a Tweet), summarize the importance of this class to someone unfamiliar with the concepts.

By the end of the week, submit a topic proposal for your Negotiation Analysis Paper. The proposal (one page) should describe the focus of the paper and your method. The negotiation can be one in which you were a participant or one in which you have been an active observer. Some examples of applicable negotiations are

• a workplace negotiation, such as a complex contract, new position, or new salary (preferred);
• a complex business transaction, such as a merger or acquisition;
• a complex real estate purchase;
• a union-management contract (including professional sports leagues);
• a neighborhood group negotiating zoning concerns with a city government;
• a negotiation between divorcing spouses who have complex settlement issues; and
• a negotiation between a vendor and business over products and services.

The above are representative examples of possible topics. The important thing to keep in mind in your topic selection is that the negotiation should be complex enough that you can preform a thoughtful and critical analysis in your paper using concepts learned in this course.

Remember to submit your assignment for grading when finished.

Instructions

In this course we will be working through the process of BA using a fictional project based on one of the following scenarios:

1. Identify a need in your current company or industry – use your experience and publically available materials to generate a BA plan to meet the need.

3 questions have to be answered from the case study

I need it in 12 hrs of time

Managers spend 1/3 of their time communicating up and down the  organizational hierarchy. Communication is the transfer and  understanding of information from one person to another. The  communication model comprises of several parts.

We want to examine the Communication Pathway or medium in which  communication is delivered. The Communication Pathway is the pathway  messages are sent, including:

• face-to-face meetings,
• electronic mail and online discussions,
• written letters or memorandums, and
• telephone or voice-mail, among others.

While some people may be better at using  certain mediums over others, certain mediums can be better suited for  the specific message being conveyed.

For this week’s discussion, suppose you are a manager who needs to communicate several messages to employees of the company.

  Messages   1. The CEO abruptly resigns after the news media reported, the CEO embezzles millions of dollars
2. A plan to relocate the company
3. The death of an employee
4. The reassignment of one division to a new location    

• For each of the messages above:
  • List the medium (telephone, email, text, face-to-face meeting, etc.) you would use to communicate the message.
  • Explain why you choose that medium over the other possible mediums.
• Then, look at the messages from a general sense and explain how your choices affect trust and credibility among the employees.
