Effective Human Resource Management
Purpose of the presentation
Improved performance and the role of Human Resource Management is more and more popular topic. Business pressures are ever-increasing, and firms are now required to become more effective and efficient as well as executing better business strategy so as to remain competitive (Sims, 2002).
The presentation aims at highlighting the SWOT analysis, recommendations on how to add value to an organization as far as the from employee performance, workflow and the flow of information are concerned.
SWOT analysis
Active wellness program
Strong leadership
Annual performance goals set for each employee for bonuses
Professionalism
High instances of workers’ compensation claim
Financial cutback
Weaknesses
Strengths
SWOT Analysis
Opportunities
Last year’s strategic planning process identified knowledge management as an area for organization-wide improvement
Ongoing exploration of Canadian and European markets
Addition of idea blogs to the company’s intranet
Improved exit interview process.
Threats
A layoff of newly hired employees which is likely to harm the company’s reputation in the society and render recruiting difficult when the economy grows.
Because the staffing forecast is based on sales numbers, which is inconsistent, The hiring freeze may not be sufficient.
Heavy reliance on one client is a significant worrying source for the Managerial team.
Proposed recommendations
Creating of emphasis on Employee Development
One of the organizational goals has been to be a strong supporter of employee development.
The employees are encouraged to attend training seminars with tuition reimbursement available for college-level courses that are related to every employee’s particular task.
New Pay Structure:
The organization should ensure a Broadband pay structures that would encourage the development of broad employee skills since non-managerial jobs would be appropriately valued and skill Development rewarded (Sims, 2002).
Additionally, a broadband pay structure can stand a changing market and pricing conditions, hence less costly to administer and manage over time. They also provide significant non-promotional income opportunities for workers
Proposed recommendation
New Training
A company can improve its employee training by the use of instructional media which can support both near and far training. Self-management strategies like goal-setting can help learners plan about how they will use their knowledge and skills in the work set up (Lawler & Boudreau, 2015).
Involving managers and peers to support training transfer offer learners with opportunities to apply their newly acquired skills in their work practically.
Value added
The recommendations add value to the areas of people, performance, information
and workflow. For instance, announcing more opportunities and the training enables
sharing of ideas. It improves efficiency (Scarpello, 2008) ...

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Editor's Notes
Change is a common thread that runs all organizations without considering size, industry and age. The environment is changing fast and influencing organizations. It is important for organizations to adopt and response towards these changes for survival in the environment. For the change assessment, Starbucks is selected.
Change models
There are various models to manage and implement the change. The process of these change models help to implement the change in the organization in such a manner:
Goal setting is a collaborative process that allows a group to function effectively for a purpose. It is an important aspect to determine the success of the organization. Setting specific goals establishes what is expected from each employee. It removes ambiguity and confusion and provides higher performance rate of employees (Miner, 2007). Along with this, setting difficult goals help to increase creativity and employee motivation. If a goal is challenging, then employees work harder to achieve it. So, it is important for the management of Starbucks to set goals for each employee to implement the changes in management and strategies and these goals should be horizontally and vertically aligned.
To be more effective of goals, it is important that goals should be aligned with the objectives of the organization. Goals should be clearly defined and following the SMART criteria: Specific, Measureable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-limited. These goals are achieved in the working environment of organization (McKenna, 2000). So, it is necessary that these goals should be aligned with the organizational resources, culture and structure of the organization to increase communication and cooperation. Collaboration and goal alignment is helpful for employees to understand their goals and its alignment with divisional goals and its contributions for the overall strategic objectives of the organization (Griffin & Moorhead, 2011). Hence, it is important to align individual goals with organizational goals to implement change successfully.
Diagnostic skills refer to the knowledge and experience that requires in identifying and understanding cause and effect relationship between symptoms and underlying source. To diagnose the organization’s climate, it is important to understand the concept of this. An organizational climate is the work environment and its effect on morale, motivation and productivity of employees. Along with this, it is a psychological climate that is related to employee’s mental status (Miner, 2007). In order to diagnose the corporate climate, there are various types of survey that Starbucks could use to measure it. The company can design an appropriate survey method to get useful information regarding the current status of its corporate climate and employee’s view for this. Through this information, it can develop a plan to make the necessary changes in the organization.
On the other hand, to improve an organization’s climate and direct it towards the goal alignment, it is necessary to address some areas such as building on employee strengths, realignment of the executive leadership team and reducing cost of the organization through effective business plan and strategies (Griffin & Moorhead, 2011). So, with the help of improvement in these areas, Starbucks can improve its corporate climate, where employees are comfortable to do work and agree to implement the necessary changes in the organization, its strategy and management.
Before giving feedback to the organization, it is necessary to know the employees and culture of organization. After diagnose of corporate climate, feedback should be given to the organization in the form of stories, appreciative inquiry, presentation and written and verbal format. In the story format, feedback is communicated through images and pictures rather than words that are more powerful (Aarts & Elliot, 2012). In this story, present situation of the organization is presented. Next, future situation after implementing the change and responsibilities and roles of each member is presented that make employees feel more important in the change process.
Along with this, I would recommend appreciative inquiry option for presenting feedback to Starbucks. In this method, unique qualities and strengths of the organization will be presented that helps to achieve the goals and objectives of the organization. It is a positive method because it does not focus on the problems. This methods some steps including discovery, dreaming, designing and destiny. It will be presented that Starbucks mainly focused on the business strategy for aggressive growth, aligned the cost structure with business strategy, improved operational efficiencies and made technology investments and provided valuable and quality products to customers (Zeuschel, 2011). In addition of this, this method will be useful for organization, as employees will more readily accept changes if they are presented in a positive manner.
Organization can face resistance when giving feedback to its employees. Various types of resistance might occur such as lack of understanding, lack of motivation, fear of job loss, cultural barriers and biasness and selective perception (Abilla, 2010). Along with this, it might that some people will be unhappy with their responsibilities and roles after the change process and they might resist this assessment and change implementation plan. For reducing the cost of the organization, some unprofitable stores of Starbucks will be closed after the assessment and feedback (Zeuschel, 2011). So, employees of these stores may be resisted this assessment and changes of organization.
On the other hand, after the recession for maintaining a competitive position in the market place, company wants to change its strategies and business plans to reduce cost and earn more profits. So, company will respond positively regarding this assessment and feedbacks. It wants to implement some changes in management and leadership team also to face the fierce competition and maintain its competitive edge in the market (Starbucks Newsroom, 2008). In the organization, there are many different employees who have different behaviors, thoughts, ideas, and beliefs, so, it would be difficult for the organization to please everyone and convince them regarding change.
In order to address the resistance to change, some techniques should be used by organization:
Implement change management: Good change management can remove much of change resistance. It is an effective tool for activating and engaging employees in a change, so, organization should implement effective change management in the beginning of the project. It helps to capture and leverage the passion and positive emotion of change process and prevent resistance (Worley, 2005).
Expect it: Organization should ready to accept the resistance of change. it is because people are afraid from changes in work, responsibilities, working environment and location, so they resist change (Steinhoff, 2007). In that situation, organization should communicate with employees and convince them why this change is necessary. Along with this, organization should promise them to provide better conditions after the change.
Proper addressing: Organization should address the change process and resistance in formal manner. It should use proactive steps to address and mitigate resistance. Under the proactive steps, organization should prepare for change, manage change and reinforce change (Raoprasert & Islam, 2010). Organization can address resistance through a reactive mechanism and effective tool for addressing objections.
Identify the root causes: To mitigate the resistance, it is important to identify the main root cause of resistance. Employees are resisted to change due to insecurity of job, new location, new responsibilities and new process (Worley, 2005). Through addressing these root causes, organizations can implement change successfully.
