1. Assignment 2: Leading and Managing the HR Project
HRM 517: Tony Denkins

A project manager role is to play as a role model for the team.
You have to show leadership skills to prove you’re able to lead
a team because you have everyone watching and depending on
you to do the job right and one mistake made by you can make
everyone look at you different; therefore, it’s important to
understand and know the different aspects of a leader and
implement those characteristics on a daily basis. As a project
manager, there are different powers to get individuals to
perform, so the two powers that I use for my project is reward
and expert. The reward power is used by acknowledging my
team for doing good, and by using this power as a team we give
eachother positive feedback instead of negative feedback with
the advantage of asking each team member what they think they
did good and what they think they did wrong for them to
recognize there own mistakes. The expert power is by having

2. someone that's experienced play the role as an example to lead
the new team members down the right path to get the job done.
The project manager will ensure to guide the team in the right
direction to equip each member with the qualities to become
leaders within themselves to take on different roles as time
progress. As a manager, you have to conduct some type of
training to educate your team on there duties and
responsibilities as well as reward those who are staying on top
of things and making an effort to participate and engage in the
activities to understand the job. These two powers will allow
our team members to feel as if they are being valued by offering
recognition certificates and time to understand the job before
being hit with the pros and cons of the job. It’s important as a
business to value its employees and understand the needs of the
company is to make a change by doing the job accurately
without any potential risks that could harm the business. Within
any team project, there are always different challenges as
individuals you will be faced with, and sometimes as
individuals, we let our challenges get the best of us which can
create conflict and confusion on the job amongst other team
members. Different challenges such as communication issues,
miscommunication or jealousy between team members,
corporate internal issues, staying on track as a manager to reach
all expectations, and many more. These common problems can
either make or break a company reputation as well as create
barriers between certain team members, which can result in a
lack of work ethic on the job. Communication is important
when working with a group of people on any job, but it’s also
easier for individuals to communicate the wrong message to
others, which can cause conflict within the organizations. As a
team, we will all communicate in a positive manner and respect
each other’s ideas, and by doing so when someone is talking as
a team we will actively listen to eachother and collaborate our
thoughts together, we will also use what each member has
suggested towards the company future because everyone has a
voice and as a company were willing to use what we have

3. internal to produce in a positive manner for the external.
Miscommunication or jealousy, and with the two it can
lead to drama on the team between eachother, and that will not
be tolerated. We are all on this team because we have proven we
have the qualifications and abilities to work as a team and get
the job done with the understanding that there will be times
where we may disagree and exchange words, but amongst a
group of mature individuals we should be able to work thing out
within the same day of having a disagreement and move forward
by apologizing, taking ownership, and understanding the
purpose of the job that needs to be fulfilled. Issues within the
corporation can be very alarming especially when certain
assignments are out of your control or you have to do more
work than expected due to someone lacking in their job or the
corporation not operating in good standing. Overworking your
employees can be a risk of losing money by going through the
hiring process due to losing employees or some employees
becoming unsatisfied with the company, which result in a lack
of fulfilling the job duties. As a corporation, we will ensure we
operate by our mission statement and put our employees needs
first by offering options instead of making them feel obligated
to get the job done. Any issues we have internal with other
departments we will be sure to resolve all issues in a timely
fashion so other departments won’t become affected, but as a
team, everything will be communicated to keep our staff
members aware of any issues that may raise a red flag later on
in the future. Lastly, staying on track as a manager to reach all
expectations can be difficult because let's be honest we are all
human, and we have feelings just like anyone else. With the
title of being the leader of the group can lead to you being
watched by your peers on a daily basis, and it can also have
individuals disliking you based on your job title, therefore,
meeting the expectations can be hard, but as a manager, you
should act coordinately and just be yourself. As a manager, you
have to make sure you’re doing what needs to be done to get the
job done and lead the team to be successful, as well as having

4. humor and engaging in team activities on the job and outside of
the company.
Working with virtual or global project teams can be difficult
because things are not being handled face to face, therefore, this
can lead to lack of communication, trust, and productivity.
Working remote can allow companies to work global, which can
open a wide range of different opportunities for the business.
Communication can sometimes become hard to understand or
comprehend due to the quality of the video or sometimes it can
be the connection of the conversation. Trust can be questioned
because things are being handled out of the control of the
individuals you’re used to working with on a daily basis due to
the distance between you and your business partner.
Productivity comes into play by not knowing whether or not the
employees have a little or too much work, but also not being
able to see what amount of work is being done on a daily basis
or is everything being done the last minute to meet the deadline.
As a company, we will ensure we hire the best candidates to
join the team and know what qualifications they have to
guarantee we made the right choice in bringing them on board.
Hiring the right individuals will allow the company to know if a
person is good at communication and that will be tested in
different measurements such as writing, on calls, email, and
face to face. Trust is very important when dealing with
remote or global teams because in order to expand your business
you have to hire the right individuals to work globally for your
company knowing they will do the right thing by following the
companies mission statement and get the job done right while
avoiding potential risks that could harm the company. As a
company, there should be a mission statement agreement
between all employees working outside the company to
constantly remind them of there purpose for being chosen for
the position. There should be goals set per each team member,
and when everyone comes together on a conference call we can
award those whose getting things done, but encourage the ones
that are lacking to continue to strive to become better and give

5. them a few tips as to how they can be on top during the next
call. Another factor to build with eachother is by collaborating
with eachother through video messaging such as Skype for
advice and to build relationships. Productivity is how the
company succeed and without any work getting done it’s
impossible for the company to manage. As a team manager, you
have to set clear expectations so the team will know what’s
expected and what needs to be done. Team members should be
accountable to track their hours through a certain software that
the company uses to monitor the amount of work each employee
is putting in on an everyday basis. There will be quarterly data
reports that all employees are responsible for meeting, and
different presentations of the work that’s being done by each
group during a conference call or via video chat, which builds
communication, trust, and productivity because being able to
have the visibility to see how teams collaborate and get certain
tasks accomplished will allow managers to rest at night knowing
they have hired the right candidates to make this company grow
and become successful by sharing ideas.
Communication management measures how well organizations
communicate with eachother. Communication is important
because it creates agreements between individuals in the
workplace. Communication can be used in different ways such
as professional, having a mutual conversation, slang, and many
more other ways. Depending on which way you communicate
depends on the situation you are in at the moment, that’s why
you have to have structure when communicating to ensure you
are being professional when you need to be and laid back at
times you are talking to your friends. Having a purpose when
communicating is important because it allows you to have a line
of structure when communicating so your words can come
together and flow into a conversation. Having a purpose in the
way you communicate will allow you to let your feelings
navigate the way you use your words. Communication can be
verbal or non-verbal, positive or negative depending on the
situation and the timely fashion you decide to communicate

6. within. Through communication, you deliver messages external
and internal to eachother to get the job done, as well as figure
out different channels to communicate through. Everything goes
in a process based off you as a person and how you handle
certain situations verbally. Working as a team communication is
important because you have to communicate in different
methods such as face to face, video chat, email, conference calls
and many more. You have to have a purpose for reaching out to
eachother and a structure as to what will be discussed
throughout the day, as well as making sure you communicate at
the right time. Never schedule a meeting during someone’s
lunch or when they have a workload of assignments.
Communication is how you build relationships to become better
as a team as well as growing within yourself, it will allow
everyone to grow and learn from eachother by sharing ideas and
situations that may help the other person out. As a team, we will
strive to have the best communication between eachother
because we will build with eachother and grow with one another
to become better as a team and as a individual. As the duties of
the manager, switching up teams so everyone will get the
experience to work side by side with eachother is important and
it's also helpful for everyone to get to experience eachother
different ways of how they communicate because you have to be
mindful that everyone is different and everyone communicates
in they own individualized way.

Assignment 4-Progress, Results, and Finalizing the HR Project
Introduction
The paper evaluates strategies in managing and sustaining
HR project progress. It also addresses existing risks associated
with the control of a project. A discussion on the closure of a
project and the team is also important.
Project Management and Strategy for Sustainability
A project comprises of several processes and stakeholders
involved in it. These may be referred to as human and financial
resources. Stakeholders include the leadership, employees, and
customers who are involved in the development of the project.
The three above factors are instrumental in ensuring that an
organization can achieve its objectives. When it comes to

8. successfully directing and managing project work, it is essential
to note that the key objectives of an organization are achieved
through effective management of a project. Also, it means
effective use of resources to support the maximization of efforts
in supporting the development of a project. Concerning the
above, it is essential to note the various strategies employed in
creating a successful outcome of a project (Lehnert, Linhart, &
Röglinger, 2016). The first strategy comprises evaluating the
mission and vision of a project concerning the operational goals
of an organization.
The vision and mission serve as the purpose of a project
and its implementation. It serves as an indicator of noting the
success of variables associated with a project. Comprehending
the vision and mission serves as a guide towards managing
activities and resources associated with the development of a
project. All approaches employed in a project are aligned with
the need to support positivity in a project. The second strategy
looks into the training of the team members involved in the
project’s development. Training is an essential component of
developing skills and knowledge among the members involved
in the implementation of the project’s variables.
Training ensures that the team members are up to date with
the changing nature of the variables and resources employed by
the organization in handling the project. The last strategy
focuses on creating a project’s deliverable planning document
(Martens & Carvalho, 2017). This looks at variables such as
time and the use of resources towards delivering the objectives
of a project. It also employs possible ways through which to
save resources of a project. It is through this that it becomes
easy to look at the risks and the benefits associated with the
process of delivering the project.
Strategies to deal with Risk Resolution in a Project
It is crucial to create a list as a starting point in identifying
the risks. An action plan is vital to be developed per risk. This
ensures the effective management of risks. About the above, the
first strategy may look into accepting the risk. Accepting the

9. risk does not mean that someone may let it affect project
development. It means that one has identified it and logged it in
the risk management software. The risk is preserved for further
research and used to influence an organization to deal with it in
case it starts to affect the operations of a project (Kerzner &
Kerzner, 2017). The strategy deals with small risks associated
with a project. The second strategy focuses on avoiding risk. An
organization may change its plans to avoid the risk associated
with project management.
Avoiding the risk means studying it and understanding its
effect. It also means changing the schedule and project plan
associated with an activity such as training to deal with the risk.
Risk transference is another essential strategy that is used to
deal with several parties. The risk may be transferred to another
person. An example includes the use of a consultancy to deal
with the software that identifies and manages errors.
Transference arrangements are written via project contracts. An
example may also include the role of an insurer in a project
(Kerzner & Kerzner, 2017). The insurer may be liable for the
provision of new equipment in replacing the damaged
components of a project.
The fourth strategy comprises of mitigating the risk. Risk
mitigation is easier to understand than avoiding risk. It limits
the impact of risk in the management of a project (Maruping,
Venkatesh, Thong, & Zhang, 2019). The training reiterated
above among the members of a project’s team may serve as a
mitigation strategy for the development of a project. All the
strategies mentioned above are significant in their
implementations since they change the approaches used in the
management of risks and the development of projects.
Actions are undertaken for Closure of a Project
The closure of a project is significant because it shows that
the project has concluded. It is essential because it also depicts
the different variables and how the management delivered on
them successfully. Concerning project closure, the project
manager has the role of reviewing the needed information from

10. different phases to closure. This is to identify information
relating to the completion of a project. It also focuses on
identifying the possibility of a project meeting its objectives.
Project scope may be measured against its plan by the project
manager. This means reviewing documents to ensure its
completion before the project team considers the closure of the
project.
The process also creates some procedures for
investigation. It investigates the document revolving around
reasons for actions undertaken in the case of the termination of
a project before its completion. In the case of outside suppliers
being employed in the project, then it means that verifications
have to be made concerning the acceptable deliverables and
works (Brioso, Humero, & Calampa, 2016). The process may
also look into essential activities such as finalizing of open
claims and the process of updating records in reflecting the
final results.
Requirements associated with closure undergo proper
definitions about terms and conditions of the contract. Contracts
are applicable in different phases of a project and need to be
checked to ensure that they are aligned with the progress of a
project to its conclusion. This ensures any complaints regarding
variables are handled, and litigation is undertaken.
An Overview of the Project Team on the Importance of
information
Successful projects originate from the aspect of ensuring
proper planning and collaboration of members of the project’s
team. A project cannot move forward without the contribution
of the project members. A project depends on the project
manager, team member, sponsor, executive sponsor, and
business analyst (Kerzner & Kerzner, 2017). The project
manager is involved in the development of a project plan.
His/her work revolves around recruiting team members and
providing regular updates to the senior officers in the project.
The project manager serves as the project lead and manages
deliverables according to the project’s plan. The project team

11. member contributes towards achieving objectives of a project by
providing expertise. The project team manager ensures the
completion of deliverables and objectives (Lehnert, Linhart, &
Röglinger, 2016). A team member documents the process
(Kerzner & Kerzner, 2017). The project sponsor is in charge of
approving budgets for businesses.
The expert is involved in making significant decisions
associated with the project. It is the role of the individual to
communicate the goals of a project throughout a project. The
executive sponsor is involved in managing the ultimate
responsibility associated with the project (Martens & Carvalho,
2017). The executive sponsor has powers to approve the
deliverables of a project. He/she approves significant changes
associated with the scope of a project. The professional is also
in charge of providing an additional fund to the scope of the
project. The business analyst is involved in defining the
variables of a project and gather information requirements for
business units.
Conclusion
In conclusion, human resource management is crucial in
ensuring the development of a project in any given
organization. The main reason for the above is because it aligns
human and financial resources in establishing development.
Project work entails understanding the environment and
working to ensure active strategic development. Projects always
depend on practical approaches to eliminate possible risks.
Human resources in the management of projects look into
processes such as team recruitment, coordination of activities,
and management of the projects throughout its lifecycle. The
critical interest comprises of comprehending the relationship
between executive function and its impact on project
management. There is a secure connection between human
resources and project management. The two factors are
instrumental in influencing the competitiveness of a company.
Human resource has been instrumental in identifying roles and
responsibilities among stakeholders. These comprise of project

12. sponsors, business analysts, team members, and project
managers. They are involved in identifying risks and ensure
development.

13. Assignment 3:: Planning Considerations for the HR Projects
HRM 517: Tony Denkins
Gabrielle McNeely
May 11, 2019
Project management could be described as a process of
planning, launching, implementing, monitoring and concluding
teamwork intended to achieve specified objectives and as well
meet set success criteria within a defined time ("Project
Management Methodologies: 1.0 versus 2.0," 2015). The basic
idea in project planning is its ability to meet all the targeted
constraints. Before launching any project, all the primary
constraints are documented. These four primary constraints are
time, scope, cost, and quality. Quality constraints optimize all
inputs available to come up with a product that will be on par
with consumers objectives. When consumers’ objectives have
been met in planning, they influence all decisions that would be
made on time of accomplishment, its budget and the tasks
required. A time which could also be referred as scheduling,
scope and budget are all dependent on each other meaning that
if one falls out of control, there is a high possibility that the
rest will not be met (Kerzner, & Kerzner, 2017).
Scope in project management refers to all the predetermined
requirement or the necessary job that need to be undertaken in
order to complete the project. Scope in project management is
as important as it directly affects the time and budget of the

14. project. Scope majorly deals with prioritization of tasks and
handling stakeholders’ expectations ("Project Management
Methodologies: 1.0 versus 2.0," 2015). When tasks are set in
order, assigning resources becomes efficient. A sense of order
kicks out the overwhelming burden and the possibility of
forgetting some tasks. It is also vital that your project should
not be inclusive of pre-requisite task. This will aid in
developing the project efficiently without hang-ups. A project
will often encounter with new stakeholders with different
demands or original stakeholders who will shift their demand.
Developing scope of the project aids in managing changes in
demands thereby still assuring stakeholders of their
expectations.
Scheduling involves time planning and it is the estimated
amount of time by which a given deliverable will be produced.
To achieve this, a work breakdown structure is developed in an
attempt to reduce the large project to manageable procedures.
Scheduling involves creating policies, documentation of
activities, sequencing them, resource and duration estimates,
analyzing timeline and controlling the schedule (Kerzner, &
Kerzner, 2017).
Time management also has to do with the collaboration of team
members with the project managers to ensure everything is on
track. As seen, breakdown and sequencing of activities are
achieved within the scope of project management. Effective
scheduling involves first figuring out the scope that is all the
activities involved.
Statement of importance: it is worth noting that the set
objective will only be met by carefully involving all the
required tasks. In as well, the time allocated for each task is
imperative to the quality of the desired product (Harrison, &
Lock, 2017). This could have a great influence on cost and
schedule as well.
The behavior of project players is critical and takes a high
portion in setting the achievable strides of progress and the
reliability expected by clients. More often than not, it is through

15. collaboration and strengthening of project players’ behavior that
vast opportunities for project advancement can be found. It is,
however, impractical to achieve all the behavioral practices in
one practitioner at a given time. Behavioral practices are
therefore classified into organizational and human behaviors.
Among the critical ones are leadership behavior, teamwork,
communication, and delegation. Leadership as behavioral skills
does not independently focus on project manager but every
player’s contribution. Pervasive leadership is the ability to
explore and continually seeking better methods of progress,
energetically working with commitment and having technical
knowlwdge about a project. Teamwork is the aspect of
partnering together, agreeing as stakeholders, collaborating with
each other and outsourcing arrangement. Keeping proper
communication is vital in sharing new ideas, making the
decision and in dispute resolution. The delegation could be
assigned to the project manager to ensure that every team player
is aware of what they are doing, how far the project has been
efficient and next steps to be followed. The delegation also
involves having expertise in the area of work, quality
management, and wise decision making. I think the four are
most vital since they widely revolve around all aspects of
behavioral skills associated with successful projects. The
collaboration of team players, communication, leadership skills,
and delegation are necessary for identifying problems, solving
them and acquiring viable ideas.
Cost basically is making an estimate of the financial figure or
commitment needed to successfully run a project. Among the
three constraints of project management, the cost is considered
the most complex in its constitution. This is because one has to
account for every resource required which at a time, the
monetary values keeps fluctuating with time. As a result,
different approaches to estimation have been taken to account
for costs. Physical materials, human workforce, software and
hardware, and other outside costs must be considered. Costs
such as labor are variable depending on skills, productivity as

16. well as terms of employment of the team members. Cost is
aggregated via different approaches either historically, resource
costs, vendor bid, parametric or quality analysis (Harrison, &
Lock, 2017). Historic data is not an accurate method due to the
fluctuation of the value of a product that has been experienced
over the past few years. I chose to aggregate my cost
constraints using resource cost, vendor bid, and parametric
method. I establishing the cost of labor and goods per unit and
constituted the amount to a financial figure. On account of the
parametric method, the statistical relationship between
chronological figures and other variables was obtained. After
computing the values from the various methods, it is advisable
to apply project management tools to determine the cost
variance (Harrison, & Lock, 2017).
Determining cash flows for various activities in the process of
accounting for any cash in or out of business and which brings
about changes in the balance sheet. In determining cash flows,
activities need to be broken down into operating, financing and
investing activities. Money from sales of assets is added up to
that used to pay loans and sale of stock, then the money used to
buy the assets, to get the loans and purchase stock is subtracted.
The figure obtained is referred to as a statement of cash flow
(Nurnberg, (2015).
Project risks are uncertain conditions that in an event of their
occurrence, they have a negative impact to project objectives.
Project risk could be personal where it could cause death or loss
of income. In as well, incidences such as fire and theft could
case property risk (Walker, 2015). It is majorly the role of the
project manager to collaborate with tea members to identify
possible project risks. Project risk could be identified through
brain writing, conducting an interview insight or root analysis.
Brainwriting: this is the process of getting ideas over a
particular problem and evaluating each to obtain the best of
them all. Where a large group is involved, brainwriting is most
effective. Index cards are given to each participant, where one
idea is written per card. Second and more subsequent rounds are

17. conducted where cards are swapped and the ideas are improved
to generate new ones (Harrison, & Lock, 2017). Eventually, all
cards are found to have a stream of ideas that can be revised and
consolidated to identify and mitigate risks.
Interviews: insights are best generated when colleagues,
stakeholders or clients are interviewed in a less pressurized
environment (Glendon, & Clarke, 2015).
While using this approach, a project manager should structure
interview questions paying much attention to the key questions.
To gain the most, one person should conduct the interview
while the other one listens and takes notes as well as answering
back to follow up questions. It is also recommended to seek
advice from outside experts especially where your team has less
familiar with the project you are taking on (Harrison, & Lock,
2017).
Root Analysis: risk registers are often packed with huge risks
that are not necessarily risks. At times they are outcomes that
have arose from dissimilar situations. These situations too could
be taken as risks and plan on strategies to mitigate them. For
instance, taking a root cause of a problem as a situation where
the project runs out of money, the risks associated with it such
as an incomplete project could be identified. For such a risk, the
team members could suggest where they could get financial
support or better ways to utilize their financial resources so that
such a risk does not come up. Among the methods of the root
cause analysis method of identifying risk are Ishikawa method,
Five Whys method and 5W2H method (Walker, 2015).
Questions like why, what, where who and how are helpful in
systematically identifying project risk (Glendon, & Clarke,
2015).
In conclusion, project management is a process and cannot be
accomplished by one party. It calls for collaboration in its
planning of resources, time, and scope to attain desired
objectives. Organizing and management efforts are vital for the
identification of risks, managing and eventually coming to the
success of the project.

The importance of Strategic Planning is to provide
guidance and outline goals for a business to have a successful
future. Planning is to provide the business with a day to day
guidance to make decisions, analyze data, and prepare the
business for the future by making changes based on data reports

19. and the different functions of the business that needs to be
changed moving forward. Strategic Planning comes with 5
stages: clarify your vision, gather and analyze information,
formulate a strategy, implement your strategy, evaluate and
control. Each one of these steps will prepare you to look at the
bigger picture when creating or operating a company for that
business to be successful and continue to have growth. The
main purpose of setting goals is to have a clear vision as to how
you want your company to run, setting objectives and having a
plan as to how you are going to accomplish your objectives will
prepare you a mission statement for individuals to invest in
your business. While operating a business you have to know the
needs of your business and implement your vision from the
beginning to the end. When operating a business it’s important
to identify SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and
threats) that may appear at any time during the times of
operation. Reaching goals is highly important because it allows
you to visualize the internal and external goals that you have
completed or looking forward in the future to complete. Having
set goals when operating a business will allow you to develop
different approaches as to where you see your business going in
the present and future, it also helps you to analyze data
throughout the years of operation to give a vision of
improvements and what is yet to come for your business. When
you set goals you have to outline different responsibilities for
your team and have them set goals for themselves to take
advantage of higher paid opportunities. Setting clear duties will
allow your team to work together, save time, and build
relationships and get things done then a team with no direction
that has to figure things out based on each other's ideas. As a
team, everyone should be observed to know whether or not they
can perform the duties of the job and understand the different
functions of the business operations for the business to continue
to grow and become successful. Quarterly measurements of
performance are recommended when you want to see your
business grow on a quarterly basis. All businesses should have a

20. corrective action plan to solve issues internal and external
within a business. As a business owner or someone looking to
start a business its important to pay attention, understand the
data and make decisions based on what your business needs at
any given moment.
Vision Statement: Organizing HR projects to improve the
business by establishing a project team to initiate the needed
changes for the company and its people.
Mission Statement: Organizing HR projects to improve the
business by establishing a project team to initiate the needed
changes for the company and its people by creating a more
centralized division to deliver excellent HR services to
everyone in a timely fashion at a great cost with improved
standards.
A project charter is used for the project manager to begin the
process in starting the project and use different objectives to get
the project completed by accomplishing all the duties assigned.
If a project charter is completed successfully it allows business
investors to recognize the value of the company, which can be
an advantage for the business to gain investments from
executives. Goal statement, problem/opportunity solving
statement, and business case are the important three elements
out of six elements when you want your company to be
successful in different aspects of not just having all the right
tools, but equipment, staff, directors, media, logos, mission
statement, vision statement, and many more different features
play an important role in keeping the flow of your business in
order. The three elements are chosen all compares together
because it measures how a business will grow in the present and
future in a detailed manner. As a business everyone has to have
a clear understanding of knowing the reason behind projects and
what they consist of in order for the project to be completed
correctly with all the information requested.
As the leader of the HR services, I want to ensure all team
member has a full understanding of the job and its assigned
duties to have a successful future for this new centralized

21. division. We will strive to be organized and more responsible of
any possible risks that we may be faced with and most
important prepared to take on any challenges with the right
resources we have on hand that provided to us from the
beginning. We will have a plan of action when things become
questionable and hard for us to understand or explain, but with
working as a team we have to all ensure we play different roles
in gaining certain information to help eachother out.
Communication is key to becoming successful and fixing all the
previous issues but also seeking ways to not take on these
hardships in the future. As a team we will all have the same
mindset to guide and lead eachother in a positive manner, at
times things will get frustrated but as a team we grow to
become more than just that we strive to create a family, which
allows us as a whole work better together to ensure the HR
department is living up to its purpose. Applying the all the right
information and using your resources will not only benefit the
business, but all candidates to introduce more knowledge and
understanding of the purpose of the move and what we want to
see different as time progress. Strategic planning steps, creating
a vision and mission statement, and learning about project
charter are all the appropriate resources to ensure we have a
designed team that’s aimed to do one thing and that's to be great
again by implementing the detailed duties and responsibilities
we set out to research and introduce to the company for a
successful outcome. As a company, we have to be open to
change and willing to take on new opportunities no matter what
the situation is because at times things will become hard, but as
a team, we have to all adapt to change, work together to get
things done in a timely fashion, and ensure we are doing our job
correctly without any open areas for failure. If a company is not
open to change then that company will not grow, so it’s
important to be able to adapt to the different rules and
regulations that we may be faced with to get our job done
successfully. Learning how to manage and by staying updated
with the latest technology will ensure we get the job done

22. without any possible risks. As a team, we have to be able to
communicate, and actually, work together with different
mindsets and ideas for the HR department to be unlike any
other. We will strive to be better than before by providing the
company with all the things they were missing out on before. I
strongly believe teamwork makes the dream works and without
the dream, there isn’t any work for the team to get done.
