Assignment #5: Final Create a human resources management implementation plan (35%)

This assignment relates to the following Course Learning Requirements:

CLR 11 -- Summarize the key responsibilities of human resources in an international context

CLR (all) -- demonstrate an understanding of Human Resource Management concepts

The objective of this Assignment: To apply course concepts to a scenario that requires the implementation and application of a strategic human resources management plan.

For this assignment, read the following scenario:

You are the Divisional Lead of Human Resources at a large international mining firm with operations located throughout the world. Because of the growing labor shortage, you send Canadian workers to remote countries and communities to recruit and sponsor newcomers to Canada to work in the Canadian operations in order to build their capacity and ease your skilled trades gap. You also deploy Canadian workers to remote countries and communities to work in management positions. In assignment 3, your organization adopted a new compensation structure for the organization that has been largely successful thanks to your efforts, and in fact, 8 out of 10 locations have demonstrated improved performance and productivity.

Unfortunately, the last two locations have not received the changes in compensation very well. Both sites are overseas. As the Lead of Human Resources, you understand that human resources management is an applied practice and that to navigate and lead through this possible crisis, you must understand how technology, laws, and company policy will either remedy or worsen the situation.

Complete the following tasks:

Your task is to create a human resource management program for your company to bring the two outlying sites on-side with your goals. Your approach will be to create:

1. an employee recruitment, performance management and selection policy
2. establish an organizational chart to design a new HRM team
3. an orientation and training program that re-engages employees
4. a communications strategy that builds shared purpose and understanding by outlining why a new compensation structure is required, supported by course concepts

The Assignment:

Create a paper that outlines the key elements of your plan and how you will apply your expertise to each, with the goal of quelling unrest at your remote country sites.

• Outline:
  • your plan for the creation of the three new policies
  • organizational structure for a new HRM team
  • an orientation and training program
  • a communications plan for the new compensation structure.
• Break your paper down into the key sections that must be covered and outline how you will use each section to appeal directly to your workforce in all countries by linking messaging back to shared goals across all countries and operations.
