Assignment 1: Discussion - Separation and Retention This assignment is designed to integrate the reflection of personal experience, and the information covered in the textbook. Using what you have learned about Juanita, answer the following questions: Should Juanita attempt to reduce voluntary and involuntary turnover? A risk of disciplining employees is that some may retaliate. To avoid that risk, what organizational policies might encourage high-performing employees to stay while encouraging low-performing employees to leave? To what extent are exit interviews meaningful and what kind of opinions should you attempt to capture? How are these opinions relevant to employee separation and retention? By Saturday, August 15, 2015 submit your response to the appropriate Discussion Area . Use the same Discussion Area to comment on your classmates' submissions and continue the discussion until Wednesday, August 19, 2015 . Comment on how your classmates would address differing views. When Juanita visited with Melissa, the previous HR manager, she felt Melissa was a bit evasive on issues like hiring, firing, and retaining employees and volunteers. It is Day 6 since her hire start date and already she has received two notices of resignation from key personnel. She was hoping that she could analyze the situation before trying to implement solutions. But, Rich, her boss, is applying a lot of pressure because his boss seems to be applying pressure on him. Although she did not know the two people very well, she did conduct exit interviews. Much of what she was told fit with what she sensed about training and development, compensation, recognition, and career development. Both individuals seemed genuinely committed to the mission of the organization, but expressed frustration with people they work with due to their incompetence and also with the organization, due to its unwillingness to invest in its employees. As Juanita considers a short-term strategy she considers that it may be best in the short-term to voluntarily separate individuals who are unwilling to perform and replace them with new hires who exhibit an interest in development. As she considers the implications she is certain she will get significant “push back” from Rich and other more tenured managers. Plus, she knows that the organization falls under some federal guidelines for what they can and cannot do. In preparation for making this issue a priority with an actionable tactical plan, she knows she must be fair, above reproach, and demonstrate grace in order to preserve the dignity of the workers and to attempt to build a system of accountability. As part of Juanita’s plan to revise her organizations hiring and retention practices she decides to focus on issues that could differentiate their organization from others that have a similar mission.

As part of Juanita’s plan to revise her organizations hiring and retention practices she decides to focus on issues that could differentiate their organization from others that have a similar mission.
From her interviews she has learned that most employees who voluntarily separate move to other humanitarian organizations that include employee recognition and some basic benefits. As part of her plan Juanita hopes to convince Rich that they can revamp the entire compensation system to better reward high performance employees and yet continue to hold the costs down to fit the current budget. She feels Rich will think this will be disruptive to the sense of security that employees have but she is convinced that they have been balancing the scales of justice in terms of work output for the small compensation they receive.
At the end of the day Juanita believes pay has been based on equality rather than equity. She believes if performance is to improve they must pay competitively for those who they want to retain.

Juanita’s World Parts 1-7
Part 1
Juanita is meeting with her new boss, Rich Ryblessi, the Director of Regional Services. Rich highlights his concerns in the following areas: analysis and design of work, recruitment and selection, training and development, performance management, compensation and benefits, employee relations, personnel policies, compliance with laws, and strategies for supporting the mission.
At the end of the meeting Juanita returns to her office and reflects on the meeting. As best as she can determine, HR has typically been relegated to simply processing paperwork and counseling people who had questions about issues like health insurance and paychecks. And although Rich has identified many important areas for HR, Juanita senses that he really expects no more from her than he did of the previous HR Manager. However, Juanita believes she can and should contribute more to the mission and vision and can help Rich overcome a number of challenges.
Consider these reflective questions as you will discuss them further in your assignments:
1. What skills might Juanita have to develop to better fulfill her role?
2. How might Juanita engage line managers to become more involved in what has traditionally been HR’s function in this organization?
3. Which aspects of human resource management would she want to entrust to specialists?
Part 2
Yesterday was a bit of a surprise for Juanita as she sensed a gap between what her boss said he wanted and what he conveyed as expectations and limits on her authority. It is now Day 2 and she is excited and ready to go with her early afternoon appointment with fundraising’s Director of Development.
As she is reviewing past reports on fundraising efforts and success a visitor stops in to see her. When Melissa, introduces herself Juanita finds that she is the previous HR Manager who left the organization about 3 months earlier. Juanita perceives this is an ideal time to glean what she can about challenges and opportunities. While speaking with Melissa, Juanita finds out who the real workers are and who just seems to be filling a spot. She learns that since resources are limited they have struggled to find qualified and committed personnel to fill numerous important positions. Juanita finds that the people do care…a lot…about the mission but hardly think beyond their current circumstances and most are discouraged with their perceived lack of impact on their community. When Juanita questions Melissa about why she left she finds that Melissa had aspired to have greater responsibility and make a bigger impact but felt limited in her role in this organization. In a way, this confirmed for Juanita that she would definitely have to speak with Rich sooner than later to be sure she understood her authority to do all she thought she was hired to do.

Juanita’s World part 6
When Juanita visited with Melissa, the previous HR manager, she felt Melissa was a bit evasive on issues like hiring, firing, and retaining employees and volunteers. It is Day 6 since her hire start date and already she has received two notices of resignation from key personnel. She was hoping that she could analyze the situation before trying to implement solutions. But, Rich, her boss, is applying a lot of pressure because his boss seems to be applying pressure on him.
Although she did not know the two people very well, she did conduct exit interviews. Much of what she was told fit with what she sensed about training and development, compensation, recognition, and career development. Both individuals seemed genuinely committed to the mission of the organization, but expressed frustration with people they work with due to their incompetence and also with the organization, due to its unwillingness to invest in its employees.
As Juanita considers a short-term strategy she considers that it may be best in the short-term to voluntarily separate individuals who are unwilling to perform and replace them with new hires who exhibit an interest in development. As she considers the implications she is certain she will get significant “push back” from Rich and other more tenured managers. Plus, she knows that the organization falls under some federal guidelines for what they can and cannot do.
In preparation for making this issue a priority with an actionable tactical plan, she knows she must be fair, above reproach, and demonstrate grace in order to preserve the dignity of the workers and to attempt to build a system of accountability.

Yesterday was a bit of a surprise for Juanita as she sensed a gap between what her boss said he wanted and what he conveyed as expectations and limits on her authority. It is now Day 2 and she is excited and ready to go with her early afternoon appointment with fundraising’s Director of Development.
As she is reviewing past reports on fundraising efforts and success a visitor stops in to see her. When Melissa, introduces herself Juanita finds that she is the previous HR Manager who left the organization about 3 months earlier. Juanita perceives this is an ideal time to glean what she can about challenges and opportunities. While speaking with Melissa, Juanita finds out who the real workers are and who just seems to be filling a spot. She learns that since resources are limited they have struggled to find qualified and committed personnel to fill numerous important positions. Juanita finds that the people do care…a lot…about the mission but hardly think beyond their current circumstances and most are discouraged with their perceived lack of impact on their community. When Juanita questions Melissa about why she left she finds that Melissa had aspired to have greater responsibility and make a bigger impact but felt limited in her role in this organization. In a way, this confirmed for Juanita that she would definitely have to speak with Rich sooner than later to be sure she understood her authority to do all she thought she was hired to do.
As she visits with Jackie, the Director of Development, she learns that the economy has had a negative impact on their historical donor base. Cash gifts are down and have been trending down for about 2 years. Gifts in kind, like food, are up but since it is perishable they must distribute it quickly or it must be thrown away. And, since gifts are down they have had to rely more heavily on volunteers. This means their drivers and those who distribute food are less consistent and reliable. This is beginning to impact their gifts from don ...

Juanita is meeting with her new boss, Rich Ryblessi, the Director of Regional Services. Rich highlights his concerns in the following areas: analysis and design of work, recruitment and selection, training and development, performance management, compensation and benefits, employee relations, personnel policies, compliance with laws, and strategies for supporting the mission.
At the end of the meeting Juanita returns to her office and reflects on the meeting. As best as she can determine, HR has typically been relegated to simply processing paperwork and counseling people who had questions about issues like health insurance and paychecks. And although Rich has identified many important areas for HR, Juanita senses that he really expects no more from her than he did of the previous HR Manager. However, Juanita believes she can and should contribute more to the mission and vision and can help Rich overcome a number of challenges.
Consider these reflective questions as you will discuss them further in your assignments:
What skills might Juanita have to develop to better fulfill her role?
How might Juanita engage line managers to become more involved in what has traditionally been HR’s function in this organization?
Which aspects of human resource management would she want to entrust to specialists?

INTRODUCTION
This continuing scenario will develop further in each module and will capture glimpses of Juanita Espinosa a 24 year old Hispanic woman, who has recently been hired to the position of HR Manager for a regional branch of an international non-profit organization from another non-profit. In her role she was an unpaid intern working on a Bachelors degree thesis. She is highly motivated and embraces their mission to “stamp out hunger among the young and elderly in our lifetime”.
The national organization is doing well but this regional branch is struggling with donations, retaining personnel, and numerous other issues related to motivation, pay, and training. She has been told by the US headquarters that they must show significant improvement in HR related matters within twelve months or the regional office will be closed.
Current staff consists of 30 full time personnel who work in fundraising, transportation, marketing/communications, and HR plus nearly 60 volunteers who work in the same offices as well as directly serving the constituency they are trying to serve.
During this course you will read as Juanita goes about visiting with various paid and unpaid managers during her first week. During these conversations she will hear the good, and the bad. You will assume her personality as she will be taking notes during each visit and will sit down with her notes at the end of the day to reflect and strategize on her priorities and actions that can best drive short term changes in performance that improve the organizations quality and efficiency of services while also building commitment and performance among the paid and volunteer staff.
She has a target date of establishing her priorities and developing her strategic plan from an HR perspective for 5 weeks from her hire date in order to track with the course modules.

Juanita’s World part 4
It is Juanita’s 4th day on the job and it has been both exciting and scary. The more she learns the more she realizes she has to learn if she is to be successful in this new role. Based on her observations in previous jobs and as an intern at her last non-profit experience, it seemed as if the pace was slow and easy. To her surprise and with great anticipation, she is finding that there is much to be done to help this organization that she is so committed to.
Her passion and commitment runs deep as a first generation Hispanic American in her family. She remembers the trouble her family had finding suitable housing, food, and work when they first came to America when she was just 6 years old. Much has changed for her and her family but not without pain and sacrifice. Juanita is determined to make a difference for those who have little ability to help themselves. And, as far as she is concerned, this applies to all the stakeholders she will serve including the hungry, employees, employer, and the community at large.
Although there is much to do she remembers what her mama taught her….you eat an elephant one bite at a time. Based on this counsel she decides to establish some short term priorities based on what she has learned so far. From what she has heard during her first conversations with managers and what she hears from various employees, it seems the greatest need the organization has is to stabilize the employee base.
Her own job description seems inadequate for what the job will entail and she wonders if this is true of other jobs. She wonders if job descriptions are designed to reflect what is or what used to be when the organization was just getting started. And, how have they historically planned for their needs or have they merely reacted to changing requirements?
Juanita’s World part 5
Juanita feels she is developing rapport and trust with a number of the people she has visited with. It seems obvious that hiring and retaining the right people is critical to long term success. As she has probed deeper into the issues she has turned up some details on performance appraisals…or lack thereof, a weakness in employee and volunteer development and a significant lack of training.
Given these difficulties she decides the best way to gather information without having to schedule more appointments with people she has already visited is to simply engage in some discussion via email. She builds her group list and then begins to compose her email.
“….thank you for taking the time to help me feel welcome and for sharing your perspective on how HR and I can better help you accomplish your goals as well as the mission that we share. As I continue to meet with various people I find that most challenges we face point back to training and development, our performance evaluation system and related feedback, and a lack of a career track for full time employees. I am hoping you will help me out by responding to a few questions ...

Yesterday was a bit of a surprise for Juanita as she sensed a gap between what her boss said he wanted and what he conveyed as expectations and limits on her authority. It is now Day 2 and she is excited and ready to go with her early afternoon appointment with fundraising’s Director of Development.
As she is reviewing past reports on fundraising efforts and success a visitor stops in to see her. When Melissa, introduces herself Juanita finds that she is the previous HR Manager who left the organization about 3 months earlier. Juanita perceives this is an ideal time to glean what she can about challenges and opportunities. While speaking with Melissa, Juanita finds out who the real workers are and who just seems to be filling a spot. She learns that since resources are limited they have struggled to find qualified and committed personnel to fill numerous important positions.

Assignment 2: Human Resource and Organization Performance
Effective management of human resources contributes to mission accomplishment and vision achievement. Given that a vision is the future preferred status for an organization, it is critical to align people with the processes and resources necessary to propel the organization forward. As easy as this may seem to the uninformed, there are many challenges as pressure is applied to consistently reduce costs while delivering superior goods and or services.
Whether you are part of a small entrepreneurial start up, a civil servant with a mature and large government entity, or a volunteer for a non-profit organization, someone is fulfilling the role of HR oversight. No matter what type of organization you are working for the HR functions typically associated with building human capital are: analysis and design of work, recruitment and selection, training and development, performance management, compensation and benefits, employee relations, personnel policies, compliance with laws, and strategies for supporting the mission.
This assignment is designed to integrate the reflection of personal experience, and the information covered in the textbook. Assuming you are Juanita, answer the following questions:
How can human resource management strategically contribute to the organization’s mission and vision on a daily basis?
What skills might Juanita have to develop to better fulfill her role?
How might Juanita engage line managers to become more involved in what has traditionally been HR’s function in this organization? Why?
Which aspects of human resource management would she want to entrust to specialists? Why?

The Case of the
Misguided
Supervisors
Recently, when a union sought to organize the nurses at a California hospital, the nursing supervisors, called charge nurses, didn’t understand their proper role in the process. While the union was distributing cards for the nurses to indicate their desire for a representation election, several of the charge nurses participated in the union’s meetings and decided they wanted to join. Some of these charge nurses also encouraged nurses who reported to them to support the union as well.
One month before the election, the hospital discovered that charge nurses had supported the union even though their positions in the organization qualified them as supervisors. The charge nurses stopped advocating for the union, and some even encouraged nonsupervisory nurses to vote against representation. The election went ahead, and the union won representation.
The hospital challenged the election because of the pro-union activity by the nurses. However, the NLRB and the court both upheld the union.
Questions
1. Why would an organization care whether its supervisors speak in favor of or against union representation?
2. How could the hospital in this example have prepared its supervisors so they would have understood.
It is Juanita’s 4th day on the job and it has been both exciting a.docx
It is Juanita’s 4th day on the job and it has been both exciting and scary. The more she learns the more she realizes she has to learn if she is to be successful in this new role. Based on her observations in previous jobs and as an intern at her last non-profit experience, it seemed as if the pace was slow and easy. To her surprise and with great anticipation, she is finding that there is much to be done to help this organization that she is so committed to.
Her passion and commitment runs deep as a first generation Hispanic American in her family. She remembers the trouble her family had finding suitable housing, food, and work when they first came to America when she was just 6 years old. Much has changed for her and her family but not without pain and sacrifice. Juanita is determined to make a difference for those who have little ability to help themselves. And, as far as she is concerned, this applies to all the stakeholders she will serve including the hungry, employees, employer, and the community at large.
Although there is much to do she remembers what her mama taught her….you eat an elephant one bite at a time. Based on this counsel she decides to establish some short term priorities based on what she has learned so far. From what she has heard during her first conversations with managers and what she hears from various employees, it seems the greatest need the organization has is to stabilize the employee base.
Her own job description seems inadequate for what the job will entail and she wonders if this is true of other jobs. She wonders if job descriptions are designed to reflect what is or what used to be when the organization was just getting started. And, how have they historically planned for their needs or have they merely reacted to changing requirements?
Juanita feels she is developing rapport and trust with a number of the people she has visited with. It seems obvious that hiring and retaining the right people is critical to long term success. As she has probed deeper into the issues she has turned up some details on performance appraisals…or lack thereof, a weakness in employee and volunteer development and a significant lack of training.
Given these difficulties she decides the best way to gather information without having to schedule more appointments with people she has already visited is to simply engage in some discussion via email. She builds her group list and then begins to compose her email.
“….thank you for taking the time to help me feel welcome and for sharing your perspective on how HR and I can better help you accomplish your goals as well as the mission that we share. As I continue to meet with various people I find that most challenges we face point back to training and development, our performance evaluation system and related feedback, and a lack of a career track for full time employees. I am hoping you will help me out by responding to a few questions by email so I can keep thinking abou ...

Assignment 1: Discussion Question
Tisha recently completed a personality inventory as part of her executive training program. She was supposed to receive a printout of her results but got only the first page of the packet. This page indicated that she scored moderately high in Openness to Experience as well as Agreeableness, very high in Conscientiousness and Extraversion, and low in Neuroticism. However, the page offered no analysis of these findings because the analysis was part of the missing pages.
She has contacted HR to obtain the remaining pages of her feedback because she is interested in knowing what the results mean.
Based on the Big Five model of personality, explain the findings to Tisha. Include the explanations of each dimension of personality, and provide examples of each. Be sure to discuss research findings regarding personality measures and job performance.
Detail how the predictors of performance could be used to predict Tisha's success as a manager. Do you think Tisha’s personality test suggests that she will be a successful manager? Why or why not?

At the end of the meeting Juanita returns to her office and reflects on the meeting.

Yesterday was a bit of a surprise for Juanita as she sensed a gap between what her boss said he wanted and what he conveyed as expectations and limits on her authority. It is now Day 2 and she is excited and ready to go with her early afternoon appointment with fundraising’s Director of Development.
As she is reviewing past reports on fundraising efforts and success a visitor stops in to see her. When Melissa, introduces herself Juanita finds that she is the previous HR Manager who left the organization about 3 months earlier. Juanita perceives this is an ideal time to glean what she can about challenges and opportunities. While speaking with Melissa, Juanita finds out who the real workers are and who just seems to be filling a spot. She learns that since resources are limited they have struggled to find qualified and committed personnel to fill numerous important positions. Juanita finds that the people do care…a lot…about the mission but hardly think beyond their current circumstances and most are discouraged with their perceived lack of impact on their community. When Juanita questions Melissa about why she left she finds that Melissa had aspired to have greater responsibility and make a bigger impact but felt limited in her role in this organization. In a way, this confirmed for Juanita that she would definitely have to speak with Rich sooner than later to be sure she understood her authority to do all she thought she was hired to do.
As she visits with Jackie, the Director of Development, she learns that the economy has had a negative impact on their historical donor base. Cash gifts are down and have been trending down for about 2 years. Gifts in kind, like food, are up but since it is perishable they must distribute it quickly or it must be thrown away. And, since gifts are down they have had to rely more heavily on volunteers. This means their drivers and those who distribute food are less consistent and reliable.

INTRODUCTION
This continuing scenario will develop further in each module and will capture glimpses of Juanita Espinosa a 24 year old Hispanic woman, who has recently been hired to the position of HR Manager for a regional branch of an international non-profit organization from another non-profit. In her role she was an unpaid intern working on a Bachelors degree thesis. She is highly motivated and embraces their mission to “stamp out hunger among the young and elderly in our lifetime”.
The national organization is doing well but this regional branch is struggling with donations, retaining personnel, and numerous other issues related to motivation, pay, and training. She has been told by the US headquarters that they must show significant improvement in HR related matters within twelve months or the regional office will be closed.
Current staff consists of 30 full time personnel who work in fundraising, transportation, marketing/communications, and HR plus nearly 60 volunteers who work in the same offices as well as directly serving the constituency they are trying to serve.
During this course you will read as Juanita goes about visiting with various paid and unpaid managers during her first week. During these conversations she will hear the good, and the bad. You will assume her personality as she will be taking notes during each visit and will sit down with her notes at the end of the day to reflect and strategize on her priorities and actions that can best drive short term changes in performance that improve the organizations quality and efficiency of services while also building commitment and performance among the paid and volunteer staff.
She has a target date of establishing her priorities and developing her strategic plan from an HR perspective for 5 weeks from her hire date in order to track with the course modules.
PART I:
Juanita is meeting with her new boss, Rich Ryblessi, the Director of Regional Services. Rich highlights his concerns in the following areas: analysis and design of work, recruitment and selection, training and development, performance management, compensation and benefits, employee relations, personnel policies, compliance with laws, and strategies for supporting the mission.
At the end of the meeting Juanita returns to her office and reflects on the meeting. As best as she can determine, HR has typically been relegated to simply processing paperwork and counseling people who had questions about issues like health insurance and paychecks. And although Rich has identified many important areas for HR, Juanita senses that he really expects no more from her than he did of the previous HR Manager. However, Juanita believes she can and should contribute more to the mission and vision and can help Rich overcome a number of challenges.
Consider these reflective questions as you will discuss them further in your assignments:
1. What skills might Juanita have to develop to better fulfill her role?

Yesterday was a bit of a surprise for Juanita as she sensed a gap between what her boss said he wanted and what he conveyed as expectations and limits on her authority. It is now Day 2 and she is excited and ready to go with her early afternoon appointment with fundraising’s Director of Development.
As she is reviewing past reports on fundraising efforts and success a visitor stops in to see her. When Melissa, introduces herself Juanita finds that she is the previous HR Manager who left the organization about 3 months earlier. Juanita perceives this is an ideal time to glean what she can about challenges and opportunities. While speaking with Melissa, Juanita finds out who the real workers are and who just seems to be filling a spot. She learns that since resources are limited they have struggled to find qualified and committed personnel to fill numerous important positions. Juanita finds that the people do care…a lot…about the mission but hardly think beyond their current circumstances and most are discouraged with their perceived lack of impact on their community. When Juanita questions Melissa about why she left she finds that Melissa had aspired to have greater responsibility and make a bigger impact but felt limited in her role in this organization. In a way, this confirmed for Juanita that she would definitely have to speak with Rich sooner than later to be sure she understood her authority to do all she thought she was hired to do.

Juanita’s World part 4
It is Juanita’s 4th day on the job and it has been both exciting and scary. The more she learns the more she realizes she has to learn if she is to be successful in this new role. Based on her observations in previous jobs and as an intern at her last non-profit experience, it seemed as if the pace was slow and easy. To her surprise and with great anticipation, she is finding that there is much to be done to help this organization that she is so committed to.
Her passion and commitment runs deep as a first generation Hispanic American in her family. She remembers the trouble her family had finding suitable housing, food, and work when they first came to America when she was just 6 years old. Much has changed for her and her family but not without pain and sacrifice. Juanita is determined to make a difference for those who have little ability to help themselves. And, as far as she is concerned, this applies to all the stakeholders she will serve including the hungry, employees, employer, and the community at large.
Although there is much to do she remembers what her mama taught her….you eat an elephant one bite at a time. Based on this counsel she decides to establish some short term priorities based on what she has learned so far. From what she has heard during her first conversations with managers and what she hears from various employees, it seems the greatest need the organization has is to stabilize the employee base.
Her own job description seems inadequate for what the job will entail and she wonders if this is true of other jobs. She wonders if job descriptions are designed to reflect what is or what used to be when the organization was just getting started. And, how have they historically planned for their needs or have they merely reacted to changing requirements?
Juanita’s World part 5
Juanita feels she is developing rapport and trust with a number of the people she has visited with. It seems obvious that hiring and retaining the right people is critical to long term success. As she has probed deeper into the issues she has turned up some details on performance appraisals…or lack thereof, a weakness in employee and volunteer development and a significant lack of training.
Given these difficulties she decides the best way to gather information without having to schedule more appointments with people she has already visited is to simply engage in some discussion via email. She builds her group list and then begins to compose her email.
“….thank you for taking the time to help me feel welcome and for sharing your perspective on how HR and I can better help you accomplish your goals as well as the mission that we share. As I continue to meet with various people I find that most challenges we face point back to training and development, our performance evaluation system and related feedback, and a lack of a career track for full time employees. I am hoping you will help me out by responding to a few questions ...

Assignment 2: Human Resource and Organization Performance
Effective management of human resources contributes to mission accomplishment and vision achievement. Given that a vision is the future preferred status for an organization, it is critical to align people with the processes and resources necessary to propel the organization forward. As easy as this may seem to the uninformed, there are many challenges as pressure is applied to consistently reduce costs while delivering superior goods and or services.
Whether you are part of a small entrepreneurial start up, a civil servant with a mature and large government entity, or a volunteer for a non-profit organization, someone is fulfilling the role of HR oversight. No matter what type of organization you are working for the HR functions typically associated with building human capital are: analysis and design of work, recruitment and selection, training and development, performance management, compensation and benefits, employee relations, personnel policies, compliance with laws, and strategies for supporting the mission.
This assignment is designed to integrate the reflection of personal experience, and the information covered in the textbook. Assuming you are Juanita, answer the following questions:
How can human resource management strategically contribute to the organization’s mission and vision on a daily basis?
What skills might Juanita have to develop to better fulfill her role?
How might Juanita engage line managers to become more involved in what has traditionally been HR’s function in this organization? Why?
Which aspects of human resource management would she want to entrust to specialists? Why?

The Case of the
Misguided
Supervisors
Recently, when a union sought to organize the nurses at a California hospital, the nursing supervisors, called charge nurses, didn’t understand their proper role in the process. While the union was distributing cards for the nurses to indicate their desire for a representation election, several of the charge nurses participated in the union’s meetings and decided they wanted to join. Some of these charge nurses also encouraged nurses who reported to them to support the union as well.
One month before the election, the hospital discovered that charge nurses had supported the union even though their positions in the organization qualified them as supervisors. The charge nurses stopped advocating for the union, and some even encouraged nonsupervisory nurses to vote against representation. The election went ahead, and the union won representation.
The hospital challenged the election because of the pro-union activity by the nurses. However, the NLRB and the court both upheld the union.
Questions
1. Why would an organization care whether its supervisors speak in favor of or against union representation?
2. How could the hospital in this example have prepared its supervisors so they would have understood.

Assignment 2: Human Resource and Organization Performance
Effective management of human resources contributes to mission accomplishment and vision achievement. Given that a vision is the future preferred status for an organization, it is critical to align people with the processes and resources necessary to propel the organization forward. As easy as this may seem to the uninformed, there are many challenges as pressure is applied to consistently reduce costs while delivering superior goods and or services.
Whether you are part of a small entrepreneurial start up, a civil servant with a mature and large government entity, or a volunteer for a non-profit organization, someone is fulfilling the role of HR oversight. No matter what type of organization you are working for the HR functions typically associated with building human capital are: analysis and design of work, recruitment and selection, training and development, performance management, compensation and benefits, employee relations, personnel policies, compliance with laws, and strategies for supporting the mission.
This assignment is designed to integrate the reflection of personal experience, and the information covered in the textbook. Assuming you are Juanita, answer the following questions:
How can human resource management strategically contribute to the organization’s mission and vision on a daily basis?
What skills might Juanita have to develop to better fulfill her role?
How might Juanita engage line managers to become more involved in what has traditionally been HR’s function in this organization? Why?
Which aspects of human resource management would she want to entrust to specialists? Why?

Assignment 1: Discussion Question
Tisha recently completed a personality inventory as part of her executive training program. She was supposed to receive a printout of her results but got only the first page of the packet. This page indicated that she scored moderately high in Openness to Experience as well as Agreeableness, very high in Conscientiousness and Extraversion, and low in Neuroticism. However, the page offered no analysis of these findings because the analysis was part of the missing pages.
She has contacted HR to obtain the remaining pages of her feedback because she is interested in knowing what the results mean.
Based on the Big Five model of personality, explain the findings to Tisha. Include the explanations of each dimension of personality, and provide examples of each. Be sure to discuss research findings regarding personality measures and job performance.
Detail how the predictors of performance could be used to predict Tisha's success as a manager. Do you think Tisha’s personality test suggests that she will be a successful manager? Why or why not?

Discussion Question
Kesha has invited her friend Carrie to go home with her over the school’s short holiday break. Kesha, like many African Americans, has a rich spiritual tradition that permeates most areas of her life. In addition, Kesha is close to her immediate and extended family. Carrie, on the other hand, comes from a predominantly Caucasian Presbyterian background, is an only child, and rarely sees any of her extended family.
During her visit, Carrie is noticeably uncomfortable with the vastly different dynamics of Kesha’s family. Carrie is rethinking her friendship with Kesha and wants to withdraw from her.
How will you help Carrie understand the cultural values inherent in the African American culture and how these might be affecting her?
Suggest ways in which Kesha could build a bridge to help Carrie understand the African American culture.

Assignment 1 DiscussionA thesis statement is the central crux o.docx
Assignment 1: Discussion
A thesis statement is the central crux of your paper. In the case of the argumentative research essay, it is one sentence that clearly states the topic as well as the argument of your paper. A thesis statement must not be a fact; it must be an arguable position on a topic. Consider the following two statements:
Example 1: Many high school students play after-school sports.
Example 2: While many feel that participating in sports in high school may decrease the amount of time and attention spent on schoolwork, high school athletics promote physical fitness, teamwork, and opportunities for higher education.
Of these two sentences, which would make the better thesis? Which one is arguable and has multiple points of view? Example two is the better thesis because it is an argument. Example one is a fact. It is not arguable.
Your task is to craft a thesis statement that clearly and concisely states your argument. Do not use first or second person—keep your thesis statement objective by using third person and excluding any personal opinions.
After you present your thesis statement, provide at least one paragraph explaining why your thesis statement is argumentative and how you can support your thesis statement throughout your paper. Though not all debates are so black and white as to have only two sides, you should aim to identify at least two sides of the issue at hand (both the side represented by your thesis statement, and at least one other). Then, discuss a few potential supporting points you could develop within the body of your paper and back up with information from your research.

Assignment 1 Discussion: Getting the Word Out
Social media can be a powerful tool to help you get the word out to a wide audience in a relatively short amount of time.
Imagine that you are organizing a fundraiser for a local charity. Explore the various social media outlets discussed in this module or that you are aware of from your own personal and professional use (examples include Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, Instagram, etc.).
Compose two announcements advertising the event to be posted on two different social media sites. The first should be geared toward your friends, family, and other social acquaintances. The second should be written for co-workers or professional colleagues or acquaintances.
What types of media would you include in your announcements? Written, photographic, video, or audio? Would the same media be appropriate for both announcements? Where could you get this media? Is it OK to copy whatever clip-art you find on the web? Why or why not? Is it OK to use part of your favorite song? Why or why not?
Discuss which social network site would be most appropriate for each example and explain why. Be sure to include a brief reflection on the differences in tone, style, and content of the two postings in terms of their intended audiences.

Assignment 1 Advocacy, Lobbying, and Social MovementThis module e.docx
Assignment 1: Advocacy, Lobbying, and Social Movement
This module explored the importance of politics in the development of standards that govern human services practices. While many individuals might believe that politics and human services should not exist together, you cannot ignore the fact that political activities influence the way agencies are sustained. This became clearer when funding of human services programs moved from primarily private donations to largely public resource streams. To date, politics at all levels are expected in the everyday practices of human services administrators and service workers. In this assignment, you will further explore and reflect on this concept.
Tasks:
Using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, address the following:
Discuss the concepts of advocacy, lobbying, and social movement organizations in terms of their effects on service delivery. Specifically, focus on who engages in advocacy, what types of lobbying directly results in public funding, and how social movement organizations function in their efforts to influence policy.

ASSIGNMENT 1 - PART 1 FIVE WISHES”When you are working on this.docx
ASSIGNMENT 1 - PART 1: “FIVE WISHES”
When you are working on this assignment, it is important that you are a hundred percent truthful to yourself. This assignment is to help you know yourself better and take action steps towards your goals.
Question: Imagine you are on your deathbed tonight or some fifty years from now. I stand by your deathbed and look you right in the eyes and ask you the following question, ‘What would be the things you’d wish had happened that would have made your life a success to you?’ (For example, J. Paul Getty, who at the time was the wealthiest man in the world, said on his deathbed that he’d gladly give up all his millions for one experience of marital happiness.). Please write down five wishes (If you have more than five, you are welcome to write down those as well).
Please note that the bigger the question, the more important it is for you to answer it right away. This moment is all the time you need to answer this question.
When you are writing down your wishes, put them in the perspective of your deathbed, and, therefore, put them in the past tense. As you note down each of your wishes, also write down the reasons why each wish is important to you. Once you write down your wishes and why they are important to you, turn your wishes into goals by putting them in the present tense as if they are happening at this moment. Once you put down your goals, think of whether these are the things that you really want, things you are willing to commit yourself to, body and soul. Then, write down your commitment to realizing your wishes.
Also, please make sure that your wishes are as specific as you can make them be.
Here is an example below. Please feel free to follow the same format as you are working on the assignment.
Example:
WISH # 1
Wish #1: For my life to have been a success, I wish I’d a job that I genuinely loved.
Here are the reasons why this wish is important to me… [Put your reasons here]
Goal # 1: My life is a total success because I’m now thriving in a job that I genuinely love and that gives me so much joy, happiness, satisfaction, and opportunity to help and contribute to the lives of others.
WISH # 2
Wish # 2: For my life to have been a success, I wish I’d found my love mate/soul mate.
Here are the reasons why this wish is important to me… [Put your reasons here]
Goal # 2: My life is a total success because I’m now thriving in a loving relationship with my love mate/ soul mate.
WISH # 3
Wish # 3: For my life to have been a success, I wish I’d explored all my strengths, skill sets, and areas I am passionate about and utilized these to contribute to the human kind.
Here are the reasons why this wish is important to me… [Put your reasons here]
Goal # 3: My life is a total success because I’ve been identifying and living out all my strengths, skill sets, and areas I am passionate about and utilizing them to contribute to the human kind.
WISH # 4
Wish # 4: For my life to have been a success, I wish I’.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Assignment 1 Discussion - Separation and RetentionThis assignment.docx
- 1. Assignment 1: Discussion - Separation and Retention This assignment is designed to integrate the reflection of personal experience, and the information covered in the textbook. Using what you have learned about Juanita, answer the following questions: Should Juanita attempt to reduce voluntary and involuntary turnover? A risk of disciplining employees is that some may retaliate. To avoid that risk, what organizational policies might encourage high-performing employees to stay while encouraging low- performing employees to leave? To what extent are exit interviews meaningful and what kind of opinions should you attempt to capture? How are these opinions relevant to employee separation and retention? By Saturday, August 15, 2015 submit your response to the appropriate Discussion Area . Use the same Discussion Area to comment on your classmates' submissions and continue the discussion until Wednesday, August 19, 2015 . Comment on how your classmates would address differing views. When Juanita visited with Melissa, the previous HR manager, she felt Melissa was a bit evasive on issues like hiring, firing, and retaining employees and volunteers. It is Day 6 since her hire start date and already she has received two notices of resignation from key personnel. She was hoping that she could analyze the situation before trying to implement solutions. But, Rich, her boss, is applying a lot of pressure because his boss
- 2. seems to be applying pressure on him. Although she did not know the two people very well, she did conduct exit interviews. Much of what she was told fit with what she sensed about training and development, compensation, recognition, and career development. Both individuals seemed genuinely committed to the mission of the organization, but expressed frustration with people they work with due to their incompetence and also with the organization, due to its unwillingness to invest in its employees. As Juanita considers a short-term strategy she considers that it may be best in the short-term to voluntarily separate individuals who are unwilling to perform and replace them with new hires who exhibit an interest in development. As she considers the implications she is certain she will get significant “push back” from Rich and other more tenured managers. Plus, she knows that the organization falls under some federal guidelines for what they can and cannot do. In preparation for making this issue a priority with an actionable tactical plan, she knows she must be fair, above reproach, and demonstrate grace in order to preserve the dignity of the workers and to attempt to build a system of accountability. As part of Juanita’s plan to revise her organizations hiring and retention practices she decides to focus on issues that could differentiate their organization from others that have a similar mission. From her interviews she has learned that most employees who voluntarily separate move to other humanitarian organizations that include employee recognition and some basic benefits. As part of her plan Juanita hopes to convince Rich that they can revamp the entire compensation system to better reward high performance employees and yet continue to hold the costs down to fit the current budget. She feels Rich will think this will be disruptive to the sense of security that employees have but she
- 3. is convinced that they have been balancing the scales of justice in terms of work output for the small compensation they receive. At the end of the day Juanita believes pay has been based on equality rather than equity. She believes if performance is to improve they must pay competitively for those who they want to retain.
