Human Resource Practices And Policies
In terms of my role within the Merseyside Sudanese Community as a general secretary, I have
gained relevant experience in dealing with various individuals from different backgrounds. I was
appointed to setup and organize a charitable organization to focus working with a professional team
from the LVCS. I gained vital firsthand experience in the functions of organizational memberships,
in which, I contributed in the writing the constitutions and organizational objectives, involving
policies, and aspects of human resources. I wanted to furthermore develop my proficiency and
understanding of human resources a management to enable and encourage myself to explore and

For example, the community hold an annual meeting to review agenda and performance of each
assigned committee. This annual review give arise to the need of recruit the right people among each
committee. Hence the involvement is on voluntarily basis, there is a need to ensure the programmes
will meet the organisation objectives. This remains challenging point for many years on whether
people who comes forward as volunteer will deliver good performance. Therefore, I would aim to
predict the key individual behaviours as to what extent his future performance will be. The issue of
selecting volunteer and task responsibilities remain critical as to what extent the person specification
match the task content. By setting selection criteria while the role is voluntary ,it gives members the
sense of political practices and bias, whereas making the criteria flexible the potential candidates are
less likely to suit the task. Hence, selection and recruitment is critical and it needs very careful
consideration, I feel strongly that having knowledge and skills will allow me to consolidate ideas.
The Sudanese community as small voluntary organisation, I found there is a minimal correlation
with regards reward objectives. As members join the organisation on voluntarily basis, they expect
that there are no wages or work benefits. However, the sourcing of funds which mainly comes from

Turner And Townsend Thinc Case Study
4.0 HUMAN RESOURCE FRAME
The human resource frame captures the relationship between Turner & Townsend Thinc and
employees. Turner & Townsend Thinc mission is "to create a place to work on the attraction,
development and retention of diverse, capable, motivated and effective people" (2020 Business

function is to support the segments and services by learning and development. An integration led by
managing director responsible for communicating any changes.

After the acquisition announcement employees of Turner & Townsend Thinc had adopted a "them"

There are instances when a director's goal or interest takes precedence, especially when given a
position of power. However, with a proper understanding of beliefs and agendas agreed upon the
hierarchy of authority final decisions are made. Since directors stay concerned regarding the profit
and resource utilisation, it is quite often that sharing of resource within different departments
becomes challenging. 80% of the staff in Turner & Townsend are promoted within business
appointing "cronies" to positions of authority, regardless of their qualifications. After the acquisition,
Thinc director's survival appears to be equated with the ability to play politics. Therefore, this

Essay on Work Environment and Legal Issues
Introduction
The growing issues with Internet usage in the workplace has become a major concern for employers.
Employers are discovering that employees are spending hours of wasted time surfing the Internet
and sending inappropriate emails. Employers classify this type of behavior as, "Internet abuse," and
breaking company's policies. While employees see this type of behavior harmless, employers see
this as potential risks to their organization. Previous researched study show employees spend hours
surfing the Internet and sending non–work related emails to co–workers, family, and friends. With
millions of employees having access to their employer's Internet, companies are seeing an increase
in Internet usage causing potential legal ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Employers believe employees are taking advantage of the Internet while at work to access
inappropriate websites such as shopping, gambling, pornographic material, and illegal downloading.
Therefore, employers are searching for ways to reduce Internet exploring and increase work
production, and remain within the state and federal guidelines (Young, 2011). To combat these
issues, monitoring technologies are put in place to make employees more productive during
company's work hours. Monitoring technologies are classified as the use of computerized system
that automatically collect, store, analyze, and report information about how an employee is
performing his/her job (Wen, Schwieger & Gershuny, 2007). This helps companies to track their
employee's Internet movements, obtain detailed information (Wen, Schwieger & Gershuny, 2007),
and protect the privacy of their company. In return, employers hope this will limit or eliminate
employees from extensive use of the Internet.
In The Los Angeles Times (2013) an article titled, "Tracking workers' every move can boost
productivity," stated how employers are using surveillance software to monitor employees every
movement. Employees are criticizing the monitoring software since it has caused harsher work
environment. Employees feel with the monitoring system, employers see them as human machines a
way to drive costs down and increase production (Semuels, 2013). Employees are finding that

Examine Why Multinational Corporations Seek to Transfer...
The HRM policy of a firm is looked as a most important strength which needs to be taken care of all
the time to have a competitive advantage within the industry they operating in. Multinational
corporations (MNCs) seek to transfer their home–country human resource management (HRM)
practices to their overseas subsidiary as to them it is just another approach towards globalisation. It
can be an element of success for MNCs if they manage to transfer these HRM practices across their
subsidiaries in an effective manner. An effective transition of these policies depends on the
organisational, cultural, social and relational factors (Bartlett & Ghoshal 1998; Evans, Pucik

The whole procedure of international strategy is from adopting the policies implemented from the
parent company to the enhancement of the competencies developed at the subsidiary, which will
complement the organization on the whole.
International experience is also one of the factors that push a MNC to implement the home–country
HRM policies across their subsidiaries. It depends on how long a MNC has been active in their
international operations that impact the nature of their decision while implementing HR policies
across their subsidiaries. Having a lack of international experience, a MNC will make their
subsidiaries adopt their home–country policies (The effect of corporate–level organisational factors
on the transfer of human resource management practices: European and US MNCs and their Greek
subsidiaries, Barbara Myloni,July 2006). A MNC with more international experience is less likely to
adapt their home–country policies as the more a firm gains international experience, the less
dominant their home–country HR policies become.
Looking from the dependency theory's point of view, the need for control also pushes a MNC to
implement their home–based policies. The stronger the need is, the more the necessity of integrating
these policies will grow, and hence there is a probability that the HR practice will resemble the
home–country practices. The more dependent a subsidiary is to their parent, the more the firm will

Human Resources And The Human Resource Department
Introduction
Human Resources are concerned with the management of people within an organization, not only to
minimize internal issues but to also ensure a highly functional workforce. The department is
responsible for recruiting suitable candidates, identifying and meeting the training needs of existing
staff, ensuring employees welfare and safety, and raising awareness of current workplace legislation
(BBC, 2014).
In addition to the above responsibilities, the Human Resources Department also covers five key
roles. Firstly, the executive role requires the human resource professionals to be specialized in the
areas which encompass people management. Secondly is the audit role where the department
follows up with other corporate areas to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In some firms, due to their size, a human resource department may not even exist leading to
significant issues both from a business and employee development standpoint. The following paper
will explore and discuss human resource issues within the United Kingdom along with what has
been done to rectify the problems.
Human Resource Challenges
One of the most significant human resource issues in the United Kingdom is the all together absence
of a dedicated human resource department within a business. Approximately 94% of businesses in
the United Kingdom employ fewer than 10 people, therefore they are not large enough to support or
justify an HR function (Lee, 2004). This means that human resource activities are being looked after
by others within the business that do not specialize in managing people or legislation. This lack of
knowledge can negatively impact a business, both by not paying attention to employees needs as
well as not abiding by government legislation.
A second issue affecting businesses is a lack of internal training for continual development of
employees. The Federation of Small Businesses in the United Kingdom found that training planning
was a major problem in organizations. Only 19% of firms were satisfied with their training plans, a
significantly low number. The survey also found that 44% of small businesses had no training at all.

Human Resource Policies And Human Resources
Human resources policies are at the heart of every business but when companies deviate from those
policies or create a culture of their own polices that can be a recipe for disaster. Having strong
human resource policies can distinguish companies from the rest and set them out to be the best but
in the case of the following companies human resource policies we either neglected or altered and it
cost the company more in the end. The nature of business is to make money and the policies set
forth by human resources are the ethical guidelines that enable companies to accomplish that with
respect to the financial world that they are involved. I will look into the policies and see whether
they were a sound from the beginning or whether the policies were doomed from the start. I will see
whether the policies had any ethical merits and how this was overlooked it there was a good
foundation. I will look into some problems with human resource policies then I will go over
companies polices that caused a near bankruptcy and a company policy that caused a complete
failure.
The Risky Business of Human Resource Policies The foundation of any business starts with its
policies and if that foundation is not build with strong ethical policies then the business will likely

Advanced human resources technology utilized by outsourcing providers help streamline important
HR functions, such as payroll, benefit administration and compliance management. Outsourcing
helps employers and managers spend less time doing paperwork and more time dedicated to
improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the workforce.
Employee Development
Outsourcing HR functions help businesses manage employee performance and development.
Providers implement performance management plans to ensure employees comply with company
policies and procedures and successfully meet business goals. Outsourcing firms periodically
monitor employee performance and report findings to management. This reduces the workload of
managers by minimizing the amount of administrative responsibilities they must focus on.

The Human Resource Development Policy Of Kenya
Definition of induction
According to the Human Resource Development policy of Kenya (2015), induction is defined as a
process of receiving and orientating/ familiarizing a new employee to an organization's work
procedures and environment (HRD, 2015). In teaching industry, Ajowi et al., (2011) defined
induction as a fundamental process of settling newly appointed teachers into a new work
environment. It is intended to effectively introduce newly appointed teachers to the work
procedures, rules and regulations, as well as assist them to adapt quickly to teaching.
The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development in the UK defines induction as, "the process
where employees adjust or acclimatize to their jobs and working environment. As part of this,
'orientation' is used for a specific course or training event that new starters attend, and 'socialization'
can describe the way in which new employees build up working relationships and find roles for
themselves within their new teams. Some people use the term 'onboarding' to cover the whole
process from an individual's contact with the organization before they formally join, through to
understanding the business' ways of working and getting up to speed in their new job." (Chris,
2015). According to the CIDP, every organization, large or small, should have a well–considered

Reduction in Force Policy: A Human Resource Management...
To maintain the excellent services and infrastructure enjoyed by the City of Urbanopolis, it is vital
to ensure that the budget meets the demands of these services and infrastructure. Since most of the
budget is tied up within labor payments, this should be the first focus of restructuring in terms of
budget. It is therefore important to find a way to better balance the budget so that vital equipment
and infrastructure requirements can be met. The request for new computer equipment, for example,
has been denied, and the department is obliged to work with second–hand and/or outdated
equipment. This, in turn, affects the way in which the department is able to function, which is not
effective or acceptable in the long run. Several positions have been identified for elimination in the
new financial year. However, my policy for restructuring human resources budgets is to match the
skills and enthusiasm for each job description with the potential elimination of the position. Hence,
my policy will be to change the description and statuses of some positions to maintain employees
who have shown themselves to be worthy of their positions while either negotiating with or
eliminating the positions of those employees who have not. My reduction in force policy, in other
words, will not only be to eliminate redundant management and supervision positions. Instead, it

The Law Side Of A Human Resource Department Essay
Now, to wrap up these two acts/laws that were important to the basis of the law–side of a Human
Resource Department which were both established before 1991. To provide a "food for thought"
here are a few things to consider, which is that our current president, Barack Obama, not only
encourages but also stands by; equal pay, which is an act that was established in 1963, yet women in
similar jobs as men still only earn seventy–cents to every dollar earned by a man. President Obama
is encouraging companies to take an "equal pay pledge" and has created tools that will lead to more
transparency in companies' compensation practices. According to an article written in The
Huffington Post "He has used the bully pulpit his office brings – including several State of the
Union addresses – to educate the country about the harm caused by gender– and race–based
discrimination, bringing these issues out of the shadows and into the national debate" (Ness, 2016).
It is clear President Obama has done a lot to help women in the workplace; not only women but
employees everywhere who are very thankful. Having said that, it is up to the employer's and it's
Human Recourse Department to continue to uphold and implement these acts in the workplace even
after President Obama is no longer in office. Intro to Ethics & Fair Treatment Continuing with the

It is definitely money well spent. Be wary of firms that will provide you with free audits since you
usually get what you pay for. The audit results should tell you exactly where you stand and
specifically provide a HR roadmap to get and keep you on track. Next, ask the most important
question: Do YOU have the expertise, time and interest to actually focus on those areas and do them
well? Finally, consider the risks and rewards of alternative Human Resource solutions.
After twenty five years of providing human resource solutions to hundreds of companies from small
start ups to fortune 100 companies, my advice to many of those firms, especially small and start up
businesses is to maximize their resources by at least partially outsourcing Human Resources. By
outsourcing HR, companies get to focus on what they do best and avoid the hassles and dangers of
managing potentially high risk areas.
Remember, as an entrepreneur you want to maximize productivity, increase revenue and control
costs. Outsourcing Human Resources and other administrative tasks allow management and staff to
focus on core business functions. Most importantly, companies receive high end HR services for less
than the cost of an administrative staff position.

How Human Resource Policies Influence the Performance of Medium Sized Manufacturing Firms
1. Introduction Globalization has created a paradigm shift in the ways by which firms conduct their
business. The convergence of world economies has minimized–and in some cases eliminated–both
legislative and geographical barriers to international production and sale of goods and services. The
flip–side of this process is the increased competition for world markets created especially by the
threat of multinational firms to local firms (Garry & Litan, 1998). Local firms must find ways to
compete and survive the threat of take–over and crowding out of the market by multinational
producers who enjoy favorable economies of scale. This is effectively achieved by ways of in
themselves creating this very economy of scale; expanding business operations helps them lower the
marginal cost of production allowing them to therefore provide a favorable pricing policy within the
market. In achieving the aforementioned, firms must build up capacity. The attention of managers–
and researchers alike–has been commonly directed towards assets in the sense of physical (fixed and
current) and monetary assets (optimal capital structure) of the firm in achieving this objective.

Liability Rule Under The Title Vii
The significance of this case revolves around the "supervisor(s)" liability rule under the Title VII.
The rule under the Title VII act clearly states that employer's liability for workplace harassment
depends upon the status or job title and duties of the harasser. Summarizing that if the harasser is a
co–worker the employer will only be held accountable if negligence in diffusing the intense and
awkward work conditions was found on their part. However, if the harasser is a supervisor, (has the
power to change employee work status i.e. hire, fire, etc.), and the harassment results in tangible
actions towards the employee such as changes in duties, benefits, etc... the employer is totally liable.
On the other hand, the employer is not liable if corrective measures and procedure were provided on
the companies end, or if the plaintiff ignored or disregarded corrective measures provided by the
employer. Specifically in this case Maetta Vance, an African American women and catering assistant
for Ball State University, after several complaints and attempts filed a lawsuit again Ball State
Universality as a result of a racial and hostile work environment afflicted upon her by her Caucasian
co–worker Saundra Davis. This case was argued on November 26, 2012 and received a decision on

Discrimination as used in the context of human rights in employment, " a distinction, exclusion, or

right of a person to full and equal recognition and exercise of his or her human rights and freedoms."

in today 's business environment. Hence laws are set up to protect employees from discriminations
based on: national origin, religion, age, sex, race, sexual orientation, harassment, marital status,

The Importance Of Workplace Conflict
Conflict is a natural part of human existence. It occurs in just about any environment and the
workplace is no exception. Conflicts arise when there is a difference of opinion between two or
more persons (Cohen, 2014). Workplace conflicts can be difficult to resolve, however, unresolved
conflicts can result in poor interpersonal relationships, compromise employee loyalty, and even
jeopardize quality and safety (Bowers & Ferron, 2014). While unresolved conflicts may have
deleterious effects on the work environment, healthy conflict resolution can lead to creativity and
growth (Bowers & Ferron, 2014). One of the main sources of conflict between employees,
supervisors, and the human resource (HR) department is poor communication. Nurses can
experience conflict with other nurses due perceptions of favoritism, poor team work, and unfair
work assignments as can employees in any field of work. According to Cohen (2014), a common
misconception among nurse managers is that nurses can resolve conflicts on their own with little or
no guidance. However, Cohen argues that most nurses have little or no formal training in conflict
resolution and that they often cope with conflict in the workplace much like they do in their personal
lives (2014). As a result, less than ideal conflict resolution approaches such as avoidance behaviors
and unprofessional body language or verbal responses are used which serve only to further

Conversely, long–term employment arrangement and long–term capital remain in the essence of
CMEs.
The institutional considerations lead to different types of organisational behavior and investment
patterns that shape different HRM policies and practices. Firms in LMEs emphasise short–term
competition that likely treat employees as disposable resources. Employees' performances are
appraised individually with a financial incentive system so managers are empowered to control
HRM with considerable autonomy. Investments in employee training and development are classified
as 'overhead.' `In contrast, HRM polices in CMEs regard employees as valuable assets for sustaining
a competitive advantage thus tend to make a greater effort in investments in product innovation and
employee development encouraging employment stability. In the system, the higher degrees of job
security and work force commitment are derived, since its employment regulation and laws are
protected from strong trade union and government. Moreover, different business systems across
nations also significantly impact HRM issues. The issues including working hours, scheme of

The research conducted by many authors has proved that the multinational companies are facing a
problem with the lack of international managers. Nohria, N. (1994), the managers with international
experience are required for the multinational organizations in order to design and implement
strategies in the international market in order to effectively manage the human resources. In the
research conducted by Napier N (1996), it was stated that the implementation of strategies in an
international organization is dependent on the human resource management practices in the
organization. These strategies have an effect on the international human resource management
factors, issues and practices and thus can have a positive or negative effect on the accomplishment
of the goals and objectives of the organization.
There are many models proposed by researchers on the international human resource management.
Some of the main models are:
MATCHING MODEL: This model proposed by Fomburn et al. (1998), emphasizes on the
utilization of the human resources in an effective manner in order to accomplish the goals and
objectives of the multinational organization. This model also focuses on building a relationship

This annual review give arise to the need of recruit the right people among each committee. Hence the involvement is on voluntarily basis, there is a need to ensure the programmes will meet the organisation objectives. This remains challenging point for many years on whether people who comes forward as volunteer will deliver good performance. Therefore, I would aim to predict the key individual behaviours as to what extent his future performance will be. The issue of selecting volunteer and task responsibilities remain critical as to what extent the person specification match the task content. By setting selection criteria while the role is voluntary ,it gives members the sense of political practices and bias, whereas making the criteria flexible the potential candidates are less likely to suit the task. Hence, selection and recruitment is critical and it needs very careful consideration, I feel strongly that having knowledge and skills will allow me to consolidate ideas. The Sudanese community as small voluntary organisation, I found there is a minimal correlation with regards reward objectives. As members join the organisation on voluntarily basis, they expect that there are no wages or work benefits.

After the acquisition, a committee is formed whose primary function is to support the segments and services by learning and development. An integration led by managing director responsible for communicating any changes. 4.1 ANALYSIS After the acquisition announcement employees of Turner & Townsend Thinc had adopted a "them" versus "us" syndrome. A survey conducted 2015 which found 55% have disagreed to receive any recognition or praise for the job being well done. 51% had expressed fear of job loss.

There are instances when a director's goal or interest takes precedence, especially when given a position of power. However, with a proper understanding of beliefs and agendas agreed upon the hierarchy of authority final decisions are made. Since directors stay concerned regarding the profit and resource utilisation, it is quite often that sharing of resource within different departments becomes challenging. 80% of the staff in Turner & Townsend are promoted within business appointing "cronies" to positions of authority, regardless of their qualifications. After the acquisition, Thinc director's survival appears to be equated with the ability to play politics.

Employers are discovering that employees are spending hours of wasted time surfing the Internet and sending inappropriate emails. Employers classify this type of behavior as, "Internet abuse," and breaking company's policies. While employees see this type of behavior harmless, employers see this as potential risks to their organization.

Employers believe employees are taking advantage of the Internet while at work to access inappropriate websites such as shopping, gambling, pornographic material, and illegal downloading. Therefore, employers are searching for ways to reduce Internet exploring and increase work production, and remain within the state and federal guidelines (Young, 2011). To combat these issues, monitoring technologies are put in place to make employees more productive during company's work hours. Monitoring technologies are classified as the use of computerized system that automatically collect, store, analyze, and report information about how an employee is performing his/her job (Wen, Schwieger & Gershuny, 2007). This helps companies to track their employee's Internet movements, obtain detailed information (Wen, Schwieger & Gershuny, 2007), and protect the privacy of their company. In return, employers hope this will limit or eliminate employees from extensive use of the Internet. In The Los Angeles Times (2013) an article titled, "Tracking workers' every move can boost productivity," stated how employers are using surveillance software to monitor employees every movement. Employees are criticizing the monitoring software since it has caused harsher work environment. Employees feel with the monitoring system, employers see them as human machines a way to drive costs down and increase production (Semuels, 2013).

The HRM policy of a firm is looked as a most important strength which needs to be taken care of all the time to have a competitive advantage within the industry they operating in. Multinational corporations (MNCs) seek to transfer their home–country human resource management (HRM) practices to their overseas subsidiary as to them it is just another approach towards globalisation. It can be an element of success for MNCs if they manage to transfer these HRM practices across their subsidiaries in an effective manner. An effective transition of these policies depends on the organisational, cultural, social and relational factors (Bartlett & Ghoshal 1998; Evans, Pucik & Barsoux 2002; Poedenphant 2002). The transition of these policies ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The whole procedure of international strategy is from adopting the policies implemented from the parent company to the enhancement of the competencies developed at the subsidiary, which will complement the organization on the whole. International experience is also one of the factors that push a MNC to implement the home–country HRM policies across their subsidiaries. It depends on how long a MNC has been active in their international operations that impact the nature of their decision while implementing HR policies across their subsidiaries. Having a lack of international experience, a MNC will make their subsidiaries adopt their home–country policies (The effect of corporate–level organisational factors on the transfer of human resource management practices: European and US MNCs and their Greek subsidiaries, Barbara Myloni,July 2006). A MNC with more international experience is less likely to adapt their home–country policies as the more a firm gains international experience, the less dominant their home–country HR policies become. Looking from the dependency theory's point of view, the need for control also pushes a MNC to implement their home–based policies. The stronger the need is, the more the necessity of integrating these policies will grow, and hence there is a probability that the HR practice will resemble the home–country practices. The more dependent a subsidiary is to their parent, the more the firm will try ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Human Resources And The Human Resource Department Introduction Human Resources are concerned with the management of people within an organization, not only to minimize internal issues but to also ensure a highly functional workforce. The department is responsible for recruiting suitable candidates, identifying and meeting the training needs of existing staff, ensuring employees welfare and safety, and raising awareness of current workplace legislation (BBC, 2014). In addition to the above responsibilities, the Human Resources Department also covers five key roles. Firstly, the executive role requires the human resource professionals to be specialized in the areas which encompass people management. Secondly is the audit role where the department follows up with other corporate areas to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In some firms, due to their size, a human resource department may not even exist leading to significant issues both from a business and employee development standpoint. The following paper will explore and discuss human resource issues within the United Kingdom along with what has been done to rectify the problems. Human Resource Challenges One of the most significant human resource issues in the United Kingdom is the all together absence of a dedicated human resource department within a business. Approximately 94% of businesses in the United Kingdom employ fewer than 10 people, therefore they are not large enough to support or justify an HR function (Lee, 2004). This means that human resource activities are being looked after by others within the business that do not specialize in managing people or legislation. This lack of knowledge can negatively impact a business, both by not paying attention to employees needs as well as not abiding by government legislation. A second issue affecting businesses is a lack of internal training for continual development of employees. The Federation of Small Businesses in the United Kingdom found that training planning was a major problem in organizations. Only 19% of firms were satisfied with their training plans, a significantly low number. The survey also found that 44% of small businesses had no training at all. Time constraints and cost were the factors most inhibiting to the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Human Resource Policies And Human Resources Human resources policies are at the heart of every business but when companies deviate from those policies or create a culture of their own polices that can be a recipe for disaster. Having strong human resource policies can distinguish companies from the rest and set them out to be the best but in the case of the following companies human resource policies we either neglected or altered and it cost the company more in the end. The nature of business is to make money and the policies set forth by human resources are the ethical guidelines that enable companies to accomplish that with respect to the financial world that they are involved. I will look into the policies and see whether they were a sound from the beginning or whether the policies were doomed from the start. I will see whether the policies had any ethical merits and how this was overlooked it there was a good foundation. I will look into some problems with human resource policies then I will go over companies polices that caused a near bankruptcy and a company policy that caused a complete failure. The Risky Business of Human Resource Policies The foundation of any business starts with its policies and if that foundation is not build with strong ethical policies then the business will likely fail.

Advanced human resources technology utilized by outsourcing providers help streamline important HR functions, such as payroll, benefit administration and compliance management. Outsourcing helps employers and managers spend less time doing paperwork and more time dedicated to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the workforce.

Providers implement performance management plans to ensure employees comply with company policies and procedures and successfully meet business goals. Outsourcing firms periodically monitor employee performance and report findings to management. This reduces the workload of managers by minimizing the amount of administrative responsibilities they must focus on.

It is intended to effectively introduce newly appointed teachers to the work procedures, rules and regulations, as well as assist them to adapt quickly to teaching. The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development in the UK defines induction as, "the process where employees adjust or acclimatize to their jobs and working environment. As part of this, 'orientation' is used for a specific course or training event that new starters attend, and 'socialization' can describe the way in which new employees build up working relationships and find roles for themselves within their new teams. Some people use the term 'onboarding' to cover the whole process from an individual's contact with the organization before they formally join, through to understanding the business' ways of working and getting up to speed in their new job." (Chris, 2015). According to the CIDP, every organization, large or small, should have a well–considered induction programme. It should provide all the information that new employees' need, without overwhelming or diverting them from the essential process of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

To maintain the excellent services and infrastructure enjoyed by the City of Urbanopolis, it is vital to ensure that the budget meets the demands of these services and infrastructure. Since most of the budget is tied up within labor payments, this should be the first focus of restructuring in terms of budget. It is therefore important to find a way to better balance the budget so that vital equipment and infrastructure requirements can be met. The request for new computer equipment, for example, has been denied, and the department is obliged to work with second–hand and/or outdated equipment. This, in turn, affects the way in which the department is able to function, which is not effective or acceptable in the long run. Several positions have been identified for elimination in the new financial year. However, my policy for restructuring human resources budgets is to match the skills and enthusiasm for each job description with the potential elimination of the position. Hence, my policy will be to change the description and statuses of some positions to maintain employees who have shown themselves to be worthy of their positions while either negotiating with or eliminating the positions of those employees who have not. My reduction in force policy, in other words, will not only be to eliminate redundant management and supervision positions. Instead, it will be to closely evaluate all positions, eliminating those where employees have not shown either a willingness or ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The Law Side Of A Human Resource Department Essay Now, to wrap up these two acts/laws that were important to the basis of the law–side of a Human Resource Department which were both established before 1991. To provide a "food for thought" here are a few things to consider, which is that our current president, Barack Obama, not only encourages but also stands by; equal pay, which is an act that was established in 1963, yet women in similar jobs as men still only earn seventy–cents to every dollar earned by a man. President Obama is encouraging companies to take an "equal pay pledge" and has created tools that will lead to more transparency in companies' compensation practices. According to an article written in The Huffington Post "He has used the bully pulpit his office brings – including several State of the Union addresses – to educate the country about the harm caused by gender– and race–based discrimination, bringing these issues out of the shadows and into the national debate" (Ness, 2016). It is clear President Obama has done a lot to help women in the workplace; not only women but employees everywhere who are very thankful. Having said that, it is up to the employer's and it's Human Recourse Department to continue to uphold and implement these acts in the workplace even after President Obama is no longer in office.

As such, it gets important to develop proper communication channels and a good understanding of the patients for purposes of offering high quality healthcare services. The fact that hospitals serve people from all over with varied cultures tends to call for effective planning by the management to get the right strategies that will improve communication between the hospitals and the patients. This happens to be very important as failing to do this might result to high levels of ethnic disparities being experienced in the hospitals.

According to the joint commission, all leaders from different hospitals are supposed to offer a framework that will help in planning, directing, coordinating, and any other activity that will help the organization to offer the best care possible.

Human Resource functions include: Payroll, Employment Tax, Recruitment, Hiring, Employee Relations, Termination, Regulatory Compliance and Training to name a few.

It is definitely money well spent. Be wary of firms that will provide you with free audits since you usually get what you pay for. The audit results should tell you exactly where you stand and specifically provide a HR roadmap to get and keep you on track. Next, ask the most important question: Do YOU have the expertise, time and interest to actually focus on those areas and do them well? Finally, consider the risks and rewards of alternative Human Resource solutions. After twenty five years of providing human resource solutions to hundreds of companies from small start ups to fortune 100 companies, my advice to many of those firms, especially small and start up businesses is to maximize their resources by at least partially outsourcing Human Resources. By outsourcing HR, companies get to focus on what they do best and avoid the hassles and dangers of managing potentially high risk areas. Remember, as an entrepreneur you want to maximize productivity, increase revenue and control costs. Outsourcing Human Resources and other administrative tasks allow management and staff to focus on core business functions. Most importantly, companies receive high end HR services for less than the cost of an administrative staff position.

Research Proposal How Human Resource Policies Influence the Performance of Medium Sized Manufacturing Firms Name: Instructor: Institution: Course: Date: How Human Resource Policies Influence the Performance of Medium Sized Manufacturing Firms 1. Introduction Globalization has created a paradigm shift in the ways by which firms conduct their business. The convergence of world economies has minimized–and in some cases eliminated–both legislative and geographical barriers to international production and sale of goods and services. The flip–side of this process is the increased competition for world markets created especially by the threat of multinational firms to local firms (Garry & Litan, 1998). Local firms must find ways to compete and survive the threat of take–over and crowding out of the market by multinational producers who enjoy favorable economies of scale. This is effectively achieved by ways of in themselves creating this very economy of scale; expanding business operations helps them lower the marginal cost of production allowing them to therefore provide a favorable pricing policy within the market. In achieving the aforementioned, firms must build up capacity. The attention of managers– and researchers alike–has been commonly directed towards assets in the sense of physical (fixed and current) and monetary assets (optimal capital structure) of the firm in achieving this objective.

  • 37. Liability Rule Under The Title Vii The significance of this case revolves around the "supervisor(s)" liability rule under the Title VII. The rule under the Title VII act clearly states that employer's liability for workplace harassment depends upon the status or job title and duties of the harasser. Summarizing that if the harasser is a co–worker the employer will only be held accountable if negligence in diffusing the intense and awkward work conditions was found on their part. However, if the harasser is a supervisor, (has the power to change employee work status i.e. hire, fire, etc.), and the harassment results in tangible actions towards the employee such as changes in duties, benefits, etc... the employer is totally liable. On the other hand, the employer is not liable if corrective measures and procedure were provided on the companies end, or if the plaintiff ignored or disregarded corrective measures provided by the employer. Specifically in this case Maetta Vance, an African American women and catering assistant for Ball State University, after several complaints and attempts filed a lawsuit again Ball State Universality as a result of a racial and hostile work environment afflicted upon her by her Caucasian co–worker Saundra Davis. This case was argued on November 26, 2012 and received a decision on June 24, 20013, which stated that BSU was not vicariously liable for the actions of Davis, due to the fact that Davis was not considered a supervisor or person of authority, to which she could have taken ...

  • 73. The Importance Of Workplace Conflict Conflict is a natural part of human existence. It occurs in just about any environment and the workplace is no exception. Conflicts arise when there is a difference of opinion between two or more persons (Cohen, 2014). Workplace conflicts can be difficult to resolve, however, unresolved conflicts can result in poor interpersonal relationships, compromise employee loyalty, and even jeopardize quality and safety (Bowers & Ferron, 2014). While unresolved conflicts may have deleterious effects on the work environment, healthy conflict resolution can lead to creativity and growth (Bowers & Ferron, 2014). One of the main sources of conflict between employees, supervisors, and the human resource (HR) department is poor communication. Nurses can experience conflict with other nurses due perceptions of favoritism, poor team work, and unfair work assignments as can employees in any field of work. According to Cohen (2014), a common misconception among nurse managers is that nurses can resolve conflicts on their own with little or no guidance. However, Cohen argues that most nurses have little or no formal training in conflict resolution and that they often cope with conflict in the workplace much like they do in their personal lives (2014). As a result, less than ideal conflict resolution approaches such as avoidance behaviors and unprofessional body language or verbal responses are used which serve only to further exacerbate problems (Cohen, 2014).

Employees' performances are appraised individually with a financial incentive system so managers are empowered to control HRM with considerable autonomy. Investments in employee training and development are classified as 'overhead.' `In contrast, HRM polices in CMEs regard employees as valuable assets for sustaining a competitive advantage thus tend to make a greater effort in investments in product innovation and employee development encouraging employment stability. In the system, the higher degrees of job security and work force commitment are derived, since its employment regulation and laws are protected from strong trade union and government.
