Student Activities As assigned by your instructor, you will be working with a team of your classmates to resolve the problems at PAC Resources. There will be six teams-one team working on the organizational issues and five teams working on five functional areas of HR (each team working on one area)-human resource development, safety and security, staffing, compensation and benefits, and employee relations. Each team is to identify the problems occurring within its assigned area and to suggest methods and procedures for resolving the problems. Your plan must recognize the interrelationship of activities in your area with the other areas of HR and consider its impact on the wider organization. Discuss how you will manage possible opposition to your intervention plans. Your results will be presented orally to the class or in written assignments as directed by your instructor. SWOT ANALYSIS All teams should start by conducting a SWOT analysis of PAC Resources. Your SWOT analysis will help you to determine the organizational issues confronting PAC as well as the issues in your assigned area. You may find it helpful to do an additional SWOT on your functional area. This will help you focus in on the problems within your particular assigned area. If you are not familiar with SWOT analysis, the two websites identified here are excellent references that will help direct you through the process. There is a SWOT analysis template found at the end of your workbook. Turn in the results of your SWOT analysis as directed by your instructor. Websites with information and diagrams on SWOT analysis can be found at PlanWare.org (www.planware.org/strategicplanner.htm). Assignments and Discussion Points for Each Functional Area The following section identifies the issues to be addressed and the activities for each functional area. Unless directed otherwise by your instructor, your team will focus on your assigned area only. Turn in assignments and present your results as directed by your instructor.
