In your quarterly executive meeting, The CEO just announced plans to expand the business a minimum of 30% in the next 3-5 years.  In your current review of the organization, you have identified gaps in productivity, innovativeness, profitability (or cost effectiveness), and employee morale. All of which are much lower than they should be to meet today’s competitive and social challenges. You are now even more concerned after your quarterly meeting and especially with plans of future growth of 30%.  With the knowledge gained, you are tasked with developing a Strategic HR Plan by formulating gap strategies and organizational policies to support and align with the strategic direction of the organization. Your Strategic HR Plan will be presented to the Board of Directors in the next quarterly meeting.  The strategies that you choose to address the gaps in your analysis may affect any of these areas within the organization: §    Job/Work Design §    Selection/Staffing §    Performance Management §    Compensation/Rewards §    Training/Development §    Employee Relations §    Safety and Health §    Workforce Diversity HR Policies that you could choose from to include in your Strategic HR Plan could be in any of these areas: •    Hiring Practices •    At-Will Employment •    Conduct Policies  •    Work Processes •    Compensation •    Leave Policies •    Training & Development •    Promotion •    Work Environment & Safety •    Disciplinary/Termination Policies •    Non-Discrimination and Anti-Harassment

Instructions This week, you have the task of analyzing the conflict case below titled, The Case of the Hamburger Dilemma. In your evaluation, avoid summarizing the case. Instead, analyze the case critically and assess how it pertains to this week’s readings. Refer to the Guide to a Successful Case Study Analysis for additional guidance. Remember, excellent analyses are a combination of critical and analytical thoughts connected to greater themes presented in the readings – and this is not an easy task. Be sure to include the following required elements in your assignment: · Briefly describe what you consider two or three major issues contained in the case. · Explain how these points or issues integrate with the material covered this week and explain their relevance to the case. · Identify the implications for the parties involved in the case. · Provide a brief description of the questions/challenges you have regarding the readings and explain why they are important. Answer the following questions based on your confidence level surrounding conflict at this point in the course: · What are some things you already know about conflict and conflict resolution? · What do you need from this course? (For example: What do you expect to be able to do at the end of this course that you can’t do now?) Do not include the following in your analysis: · A summary of the readings · A detailed description of the case · Any editorials The Hamburger Dilemma: Due to budgetary cuts, Bob and Diane are relocated from their individual offices and forced to share a single office space. One day Diane brings a hamburger for lunch and heats it in the office microwave. When she gets back to her desk, Bob reminds Diane he is a vegetarian for religious reasons and asks her to leave the office to eat her lunch. Diane and Bob have a problematic history, and she is on a deadline for their boss, so she declines Bob’s request. Instead, she leaves her plate on the desk while she runs out to fill her water bottle. Since Diane won’t leave, Bob decides he’s going to leave the office for a while. As he gets up to go, he trips over the cord to Diane’s lamp and falls into her lunch plate, knocking it to the floor. Diane isn’t there to see it was truly an accident and walks in just as Bob is picking her plate up off the floor. As you are preparing your response, think about the following questions: · What were the roots of the conflict? (Remember the triangle) · How do the parties to the conflict view the behavior of their ‘opponents’ and pursue their own interests in the conflict situation? · At what point did the conflict become detrimental to the parties involved? · How might this conflict extend to the larger workplace if not resolved? This exercise is less about “getting it right” and more about identifying your own capacity to recognize antecedents, reflect on the way you currently manage conflict and self-identify ways in which you can improve your ability to recognize, diagnose, and resolve conflict in the future. Length: 3-5 pages, not including title or reference pages References: Include a minimum of 5 scholarly resources.

ELECTRO-Source is a fictional mid-sized electronics company based in the northeast portion of the United States. The company has experienced significant customer growth over the past five years and has hired employees as needed with little hiring strategy – they have hired simply to meet ad-hoc employment needs.  You are the manager of ELECTRO-Source’s small HR department composed of six other HR professionals. As a manager, you are responsible for guiding your small group to conduct all HR aspects for the company, including all Talent Management (TM) tasks. You are also responsible for periodic reports to company executives on the state of the department.  Over the past year, you have noticed executives growing increasingly concerned regarding perceived HR issues they and others have noticed.  You have decided to take time to understand and consider all the current issues (in no particular order) you believe the HR department is currently experiencing with regard to TM tasks – you have identified fourteen (14) areas of attention.  Your notes indicate the current talent management practice issues: Relies heavily on external recruiting services for degreed/career positions, and on temporary employee services for non-degreed paraprofessional recruiting, these recruiting services often take longer than expected to produce results.  The HRIS system is 12 years old and was not designed to scale up for growth or upgrade.  Uses multiple other external vendors to conduct various TM tasks. The company does not provide career counseling, coaching, or career development programs – resulting in a turnover of mid-career talent. There is a lack of employee awareness or knowledge of TM benefits and advantages. The interview methodology is outdated: containing old questions, old techniques, and old interview approaches. The onboarding process is segmented which causes delays due to departmental delays in completing their part of the process, e.g., IT, security, operations, etc. Organizational reluctance to accept and accommodate remote employees. Outdated employee rewards and recognition system. Outdated performance management system. No clear position or process for internal hiring priority. No Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) focus or plan. The company’s benefits plan is outdated with no plan or system to gather employee feedback to identify employees' needed or desired benefits. Overall general neglect, underinvestment, or low priority sentiment from executives and managers on HR TM functions. After a great deal of thought, you have decided to ask executive management for time and resources, over the next budget year, to overhaul the entire HR department; you envision a complete departmental restructuring and have proposed starting an HR modernization project focused on TM practices.  Develop a 4 page modernization project plan addressing the following: Identify areas for modernization. Categorize each of the company’s fourteen current issues into one of the four TM strategic areas  The four strategic areas are Talent Acquisition Strategies, Total Rewards Strategies, Employee Engagement Strategies, and Learning and Development Strategies.  Describe needed organizational culture changes.  Discuss why organizational principles such as the company’s mission, values, and vision will need to be changed or reprioritized to effectively address the 14 current issues you have identified and categorized.  Examine management and leadership’s role in change management.  Investigate and disclose reasons why management and leadership’s roles may become critical toward creating positive change when addressing the 14 current issues.  Conduct an environmental scan.  Research current trends associated with at least five of the 14 current issues and disclose a course of action to meet those trends with an applicant or employee-benefit focus.  Recommend a global mindset and globalization focus.  Justify why a global mindset and a globalization focus might be important in addressing some of the 14 current issues.  Select a team to participate in the modernization project.  Select team members, from across the company, you believe will be beneficial in addressing and moving forward the corrective action for the 14 identified issues. Discuss why the team members were selected. Prioritize the 14 identified issues.  Provide a rationale for the top five issues to be addressed.  Focus on prioritizing areas that have the most impact and can be accomplished in an expedient amount of time.  Provide 2 quality academic resources.
