Previous Assignments

1. Write a high-level strategic human resource management plan (3-4 pages).

The purpose of this assignment is to simulate the thought process managers use to connect unit goals with organizational strategy. The students are not expected to produce a detailed strategic plan (which in actual organizations can exceed 100 pages). Rather, the expectation is that students demonstrate consideration of the multiple complexities involved in strategic planning.

The assignment is centered on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) model of analysis, and the specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) model of goal setting.

Access the GCU Library, relevant course materials, Internet resources, and the HRM Webliography to research SWOT analysis, SMART goals, and models of strategic proposals.

Access your Scenario Generator Report, which includes a description of the organization, points to reflect on, a SWOT analysis, and directions for a SMART goals report. Use this information to write the Strategic HRM Proposal.

The Strategic HRM Proposal should be in the form of a professional report. There is no single, correct manner of presentation. Creative thinking is expected. The formatting is secondary to the content and application of knowledge. However, the proposal should be organized in a readily comprehensible manner that conveys a thorough understanding of course objectives. Graphics, bulleted lists, tables, and charts are acceptable. Include the following:

Introduction and conclusion that make relevant connections to course objectives.

Summary of the organizational description included in your Scenario Generator Report.

Reflection and application of each point included in your Scenario Generator Report (two to three fully developed sentences per item).

2. Develop a high level staffing and compensation plan (4-5 pages). The plan should contain an introduction and conclusion that make relevant connections to course objectives. The body of the plan is an annotated presentation of the concepts listed in your Scenario Generator Report.

The purpose of this assignment is to simulate the thought process that managers use when planning for staffing and compensating employees. The students are not expected to produce a detailed proposal. Rather, the expectation is that students demonstrate consideration of the multiple complexities involved in staffing and compensation.

Access the "Deliverables" section of the Staffing and Compensation Plan within your Scenario Generator Report. Your Scenario Generator Report provides the context for the plan which should:

Discuss the staffing needs of your organization.

Thoughtfully discuss each listed item (two to three fully developed sentences per item).

3. Develop a high-level performance management cycle plan (4-5 pages). The plan should contain an introduction and conclusion that makes relevant connections to course objectives. The body of the plan is an annotated presentation of the concepts listed in your Scenario Generator Report.

The purpose of this assignment is to simulate the thought process that managers use when evaluating the various elements of performance management. The students are not expected to produce a detailed plan. Rather, the expectation is that students demonstrate consideration of the multiple complexities involved in the performance management cycle.

Access the "Deliverables" section of the Performance Management Cycle Plan within your Scenario Generator Report. Your Scenario Generator Report provides the context for the plan.

Carefully consider the characteristics of the various organizational descriptors in your Scenario Generator Report.

Thoughtfully discuss each listed item (2-3 fully developed sentences per item).
