Description Overview For this milestone, due in Module Five, you will analyze HR  strategic initiatives of employee and labor relations that positively  impact organizational effectiveness. The three critical elements focus  on employee discipline, performance management, and employee and labor  relations. Scenario For this Milestone, consider the following scenario: Assume the role  of a human resources director at a U.S.-based call center that is  currently based in the Midwest. The organization plans to expand their  call center locations in the states of South Carolina and Tennessee and  the country of India and needs to hire 100 employees. Your organization  has been primarily hiring “local” talent, many of whom have been  relatives of current employees. The Midwest location is union free but  does not have well-defined policies to address employee issues.  Additionally, the organization’s approach to performance management is  very traditional and may not reflect the needs of today’s workforce. As the  human resources director, you will create a strategic HR plan that  addresses goals related to your organization’s growth. The plan should  have an influence across the organization to be successful.  Prompt Refer to the chapter readings and module resources to support your  responses to each of the three critical elements below. Carefully read  and address each critical element as written, using detailed and  informative analysis that conveys critical thinking. The three critical  elements are aligned to the organization technical competency within the  HR knowledge domain. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: Employee Discipline: Compare punitive and  nonpunitive disciplinary approaches, and explain their impacts on  employee relations. Identify the steps in a fair employee discipline  process and explain the impact to positive employee relations in the  organization. Performance Management: Determine the elements of  an effective performance management system, and explain how well the  employer’s system meets organizational needs. Employee and Labor Relations: Determine the  differences between union grievance procedures and nonunion complaint  processes, and describe improvements that could be made to a nonunion  complaint process. Be sure to incorporate instructor feedback on this milestone into your final submission.
