Assignment:
Review Juanita's World Parts 1-5 and write a 5-7 page paper. Pretend you are Juanita and develop a human resource plan to share with your boss. Develop a scenario which analyzes and summarizes the current situation for the employer. You are to create details that make this scenario more realistic and support your response to the issues and questions presented below.
Your paper should include the following:
o Evaluate the cultural issues that need to be addressed: In an HR plan, what kind of diversity issues do you need to consider? This is what "cultural issues" refers to. Perhaps you need to review diversity laws, affirmative action plans, or consider other ways to prevent discrimination and ensure that a diverse team will work well together.
o Analyze the ethical considerations that apply: Remember that this is a non-profit organization with a lot of volunteers working. Ethical considerations could be the right and wrong way to treat volunteers, issues with trusting people to not steal from the company, making sure that federal money is properly allocated, etc.
o Describe the organization's current hiring needs and projected hiring needs for the coming year Here you should briefly consider, based on the readings on Juanita's World who Juanita might need to hire and project who she might need in the future. Would you expect high turnover at a non-profit? Will the amount of volunteers available vary month to month?
o Develop a recruitment plan for fulfilling the company's current and future hiring needs Recruitment involves how you find people to work for the company (e.g. how much money you spend on recruitment, where do you recruit people from, how do you do it?). This is everything that happens BEFORE the selection process.
o Explain the plan the company should follow to manage employee performance How will the company make sure employees are doing their jobs? If an employee isn't doing well, how will they handle the situation?
o Identify at least 4 laws or regulations that apply to the company. This should be four specific laws (e.g. ADA, ADEA, Civil Rights Act, etc.).Explain the actions Juanita's company has to take to ensure they are conforming to the requirements of these identified laws and regulations.How will Juanita make sure these laws are being followed?
o Provide a recommendation for the organization on how they can motivate employees while adhering to the legal and regulatory requirement and maintain a safe and healthy work environment. Focus on some specific motivational theories here (e.g. goal setting theory, incentive theory, job characteristics model, etc.).
Write a 5 to 7-page paper in Word format. If your paper is shorter than 5 full pages, it probably means that you need to include more detail in at least one section. Use at least three resources to justify your responses. These should be scientific resources (e.g. websites that end in .org, .gov, .edu or journal articles found through the library, your textbook). Apply current APA standards for writing style to your work.
