Assessment Description

This is a Collaborative Learning Community (CLC) assignment.

The purpose of this presentation is to discuss the major responsibilities of human resources management (HRM). Students will select an organization in need of change and make recommendations to manage the change through integrating the major responsibilities of HRM.

The major responsibilities of human resources management (HRM) are to attract, develop, and maintain a quality workforce. Research an organization that is in need of a change and present how the team will manage the change process by incorporating the three essential responsibilities of HRM, focusing on one subsystem that requires change within the organization.

Attracting Human Resources:

1. Propose how the organization should attract the change agent required to support the change in the primary subsystem.

2. Focus the proposal to attract the change agent (a specific individual or organization) on one of the following: human resource planning, recruitment, or selection.

3. Explain how the proposed efforts to attract the change agent to bring about the change will affect the primary subsystem identified.

Developing Human Resources:

1. Propose how the organization should develop the change agent (attracted in the previous section) in order to support the change.

2. Focus the proposal to develop the change agent on one of the following: employee orientation, training and development, or performance appraisal.

3. Explain how the proposed efforts to develop the change agent to bring about the change will affect the primary organizational subsystem identified.

Maintaining Human Resources:

1. Propose how the organization should maintain the change agent (attracted and developed in the previous sections) in order to support the change.

2. Focus the proposal to develop the change agent on one of the following: career development, work-life balance, compensation and benefits, retention, or labor-management relations.

3. Explain how the proposed efforts to maintain the change agent to bring about the change will affect the primary organizational subsystem identified.

Internal Consistency:

1. Explain how the HR processes chosen to attract, develop, and maintain the change agent are the optimal choices to bring about the proposed change given the identified organizational issue and the main (primary) subsystem.
