...Throughout this course, you study a variety of HR issues and learn about the various roles that HR plays in a successfully functioning organization. In order to facilitate your learning in this course, a course project that allows you to research various HR functions at an organization of your choice has been developed. You can then practically apply the information you have learned to the chosen environment. The organization you select should be of interest to you. It can be where you are currently employed, or wish to be employed. It can also be something that interests you (for example, coffee drinkers can select Starbucks). This must be an organization that is researchable as you need to gather and analyze a variety of information in order to complete the components of your project. If you select an organization with which you are currently associated, it is important to remember that the various analyses you make during the completion of your project must be based on facts that can be documented rather than your personal opinion as an employee. Each project component requires you to research a different aspect of HRM. In addition to gathering the requisite data from the organization of your choice, you are required to research and employ a minimum of four resources (per assignment) to support the content of each assignment. Examples of acceptable choices include informational interviews, scholarly journals, and white papers from professional organizations such as...

...Reports and Memos * The most straightforward use of Microsoft Word for businesses is word processing. As such, Word offers the ability to type and lay out reports, memos, letterheads, and other written business papers. Word has several key built-in functions, including bold, italics, underlining, super- and sub-script, paragraph and line formatting, bullet points, and so forth. The page layout function allows users to customize the size and format of the paper they are trying to create. Flowcharts * Microsoft Word offers a multitude of shapes, lines, and symbols for use in crafting flowcharts. In contrast to typical written documents, flowcharts are visual diagrams meant to direct a reader's attention to the process or flow of a project. Word's various options allow you to customize the layout and look of flowcharts, as well as type text inside and next to shapes, insert images, and so on. * Mailing Labels * A very widespread use of Microsoft Word in the workplace is in typing and printing mailing labels. Word offers a preset layout in the correct size to print on label paper, which makes mailing much easier than the traditional method of writing labels by hand or typing each label individually on a typewriter.

...Week 8 Assignment Situation #1 Susan, a pharmaceutical representative, must create a presentation about a new drug recently approved by the FDA. She wants to know the main functions of PowerPoint. Susan’s gathered data includes graphs, videos, and statistics of the new drug. In Susan’s case I would start off by explaining the main functions of PowerPoint and how well this application would work for her situation. The main problems we will face is the fact that she will need to become accustom to the whole process of creating a presentation that will include all the items she would like. My way to get over this issue would be to briefly read over with her the basic guidelines and instructions for creating a PowerPoint presentation, such as how to select a theme, insert data and pictures and anything else I would feel she would need to know. I would try to avoid overloading her with anything I think she may not need to deal with at the time. If I have further trouble understanding any issues she has I would suggest that we try to start from the beginning and try to take her through the process step by step and from there figure out the best process for her to create this project. Once we figured out what she wants then I would go back to trying to take her through the basic process of creating a presentation, advising her how to create a slide, edit slides, and how to add in pictures and video’s as well as graphs for her statistics. If we had further issues with...

Why are visual aids important? Give at least three examples of different types of visual aids, and explain how you would use each type in a presentation. Visual aids are important because they help keep the audience’s attention, help them follow your presentation’s logic, and also can direct attention away from the presenter which helps nervousness. Visual examples would be whiteboards which you can use to draw anything that you want to stick with the audience. Slides which you could use to display images, charts, and other important info. Films which can immerse the audience and deliver powerful messages. 8.) Based on your own experience, what tends to make a PowerPoint presentation stronger or weaker? Provide specific examples.

Another strategies is to use one or more search engines to find a solution to an issue. To get started on using the help function in Microsoft Word, press the F1 key and ‘word help’ will appear. There are a couple of options to using word help. If a user is connected to the internet, then use the online search function, if they are not, then use the help function from the computer. A user can switch from each one using the drop down arrow next to the words ‘word help’. Teaching a customer how to use the word help function is a great opportunity to educate them on Word 2013 options to get more Word training.
