*********************************************************

Strategic human resource management (HRM) has been defined as a
consistent pattern of planned human resources activities and
deployments intended to enable an organization to meet its goals.
Further, strategic HRM, also consists of many components including
aligning the utilization of human resources with the mission, vision,
values and culture of the organization, as well as branding,
competitive advantage, organizational development, diversity
management, organizational structure, and evidence-based HRM.
Using resources, other than your textbook, identify an organization
that successfully implemented strategic HRM initiatives. Present the
initiatives and discuss the business strategies achieved as a result of
the initiatives
*********************************************************

Identify an organizational-level goal that would be incorporated into
an annual business strategy (e.g., financial performance, service,
productivity, competitive advantage, innovation.). Develop three
organizational development strategies relating to HRM you would
utilize as a manager to support this goal. Create the goals utilizing
SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely)
criteria, specifically identifying how the goal will be measured using
evidence-based HRM.
*********************************************************
Access the Scenario Generator. Create a scenario for Project 1:
Strategic HRM Proposal. The characteristics of this scenario should
differ from the characteristics in your Scenario Generator Report.
Briefly compare and contrast these characteristics with the
characteristics in your Scenario Generator Report. How would
organizational strategy differ between the two scenarios

AMP 434 Week 2 Strategic HRM Plan
Benchmark Assessment
Details:
Write a high-level strategic human resource management plan (3-4
pages).
The purpose of this assignment is to simulate the thought process
managers use to connect unit goals with organizational strategy. The
students are not expected to produce a detailed strategic plan (which
in actual organizations can exceed 100 pages). Rather, the expectation
is that students demonstrate consideration of the multiple
complexities involved in strategic planning.
The assignment is centered on the strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities, and threats (SWOT) model of analysis, and the
specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART)
model of goal setting.
Access the GCU Library, relevant course materials, Internet
resources, and the HRM Webliography to research SWOT analysis,
SMART goals, and models of strategic proposals.
Access your Scenario Generator Report, which includes a description
of the organization, points to reflect on, a SWOT analysis, and

directions for a SMART goals report. Use this information to write
the Strategic HRM Proposal.
The Strategic HRM Proposal should be in the form of a professional
report. There is no single, correct manner of presentation. Creative
thinking is expected. The formatting is secondary to the content and
application of knowledge.
However, the proposal should be organized in a readily
comprehensible manner that conveys a thorough understanding of
course objectives. Graphics, bulleted lists, tables, and charts are
acceptable. Include the following:
Introduction and conclusion that make relevant connections to course
objectives.
Summary of the organizational description included in your Scenario
Generator Report.
Reflection and application of each point included in your Scenario
Generator Report (two to three fully developed sentences per item).
While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment,
solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and
references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines,
which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student
Success Center.
Instructors will be using a grading rubric to grade the assignments. It
is recommended that learners review the rubric prior to beginning the
assignment in order to become familiar with the assignment criteria
and expectations for successful completion of the assignment.
The Strategic HRM Proposal is the first of four assignments. The
organizational profile developed for the Strategic HRM Proposal by
the HRM Scenario Generator will be used in the remaining three
assignments.
You are not required to submit this assignment to Turnitin, unless
otherwise directed by your instructor. If so directed, refer to the
Student Success Center for directions. Only Word documents can be
submitted to Turnitin.
*********************************************************

Testing can be an effective tool in the selection of qualified
candidates. Testing can include, but is not limited to the following
areas: personality, talent assessment, job task proficiency and
productivity, physical ability, drug testing, lie-detector analysis,
background checks, cognitive assessment, emotional intelligence,
credit checks, computer literacy, basic skills, and English proficiency.
Select three types of pre-employment testing and discuss the purpose,
effectiveness in the selection process, legal parameters for use of the
testing, costs associated with administration of the testing, and
recommendation for the use of the testing
*********************************************************

Successful interviews are carefully planned and executed events.
Discuss the purpose and successful application of different types of
interview environments (traditional, panel or committee, group,
telephone, etc.) and questions (behavioral, situational, open-ended,
case studies, etc.). Include a discussion of how to avoid the use of
illegal interview question
*********************************************************
The purpose of this discussion question is to share with your
classmates the nature of your Scenario Generator Report, and for you
to have the opportunity to compare ideas and understanding with your
colleagues.
Attach a copy of your Scenario Generator Report.
Summarize the general characteristics of your organization.

In subsequent posts for Module 4, compare the characteristics of your
organization with that of your classmates.
*********************************************************
Organizations can avoid investing in training and development
activities because it is difficult to quantify the ROI (return on
investment). As a manager who has identified a need for training and
development in your organization, develop a training and
development proposal to be presented to the leadership team. Include
a brief overview of different delivery methods for training and
development, expected outcomes, and potential return on investment.
Include a citation for your research.
