...Effects of Social Networking Sites to the Study of CLSU 3rd year HRM students As a Partial Fulfillment of the requirements of the subject Methods of Research Submitted to: Submitted by: Lysel Cris C. Agram Mara Katrina C. Cusi December 2011 I Introduction Social networking websites are currently being used regularly my millions of people. The use of social networking sites has been widespread that they have not only caught the attention of academic and industry researchers worldwide but also us, in particular. Social networking sites are now being investigated by numerous social science researchers and an increasing number of academic commentators are becoming more and more interested in studying Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking services, because of their probable impact on society. While the social networking sites have the same key aspects, the cultures and responses around them that become apparent are varied. Most sites help strangers connect with others based on shared personal interests, political and economic views, or simply recreational activities. Some sites accommodate distinct viewers, while others attract people based on similarities, such as common languages or shared racial, sexual, religious or nationality-based identities. Nonetheless, social networking sites have only one common goal. It is to encourage new ways to communicate and share information. Many students have been blaming various social networking sites for their steady...

...BMGT 3354 Human Resource Management When I first began this class I was very green on the subject matter of human resource management (HRM) and that included what I thought I had experienced. I saw HRM in very black and white terms. I thought of them as nothing more than the people who will hire you, issue surveys, set up your on the job training, & in the end either fire you or conduct your exit interviews. I had no idea how detail oriented it really is and I was very surprised by that. My own experience has been very limited in terms of HRM, but I think that is because I held mostly retail jobs at a young age & since they tended to have high turnover rates people would get lost in the shuffle of it all. I have not worked for almost five years now so it was interesting to examine how the job market is changing and help me brush up so that when I do reenter the workforce I will have a better idea of what to expect and how to help myself. In today’s fast paced mile-a-minute world it is easy for an individual to feel like a nameless face in a crowd. A consumer feels like a number, not a person when it comes to being acknowledged and having their needs met. Employees are being managed by threat of punishment, left to work on their own, and not being able to express their ideas or needs. In my previous business class I studied time quality management and that helped me have a better grasp of what I was learning this semester. “TQM is a management philosophy that emphasizes...

Global business is characterized by the free flow of human and financial resources especially in the developed economies of European Union (EU), the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), other regional groupings such as the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the Southern African Development Community, etc. (Schuler, R.S & Tarique, I. & Jackson, S.E, 2002).

...First define and then compare and contrast Human Resource Management (HRM) with Human Capital Management (HCM) by building upon class content and discussion. Human Resource management is the process of managing individuals within an organization, using the policies, practices and systems that influence the employees. Human Capital Management is the managing of individuals based on their skills, training, experience, intelligence, relationships and insight. Human resource management (HRM) is the management of an organization's most valued assets, the individuals who are employed by the organization, while human capital management HCM is related it varies slightly. An example of HRM is anything involving the day to day operations of an organization, whether that is recruiting employees, or signing up employees for benefits. HCM involves managing the organizations employees through the use of data, surveys; put simply the measurements used to gauge a company’s success based on how the employees are managed. An example would be the human resource department initializing performance management reviews, then using the data collected to create a consensus of the finds. HRM and HCM both have their place and organizations. Although they are related they are not necessarily interchangeable. If an organization is look for better insight into their employees HCM would be better to use than HRM. Some authorities would posit that human capital is a sub-set of intangible assets that...

...Chapter 2: Strategy and Human Resources Planning If nothing else, my students should learn that… • It is important for HRM to align its policies and processes with the business strategy in order to provide value to the organization (external fit), and that the policies and processes are mutually reinforcing (internal fit). HR planning follows the same pattern as organizational strategic planning, and hence the two processes are complementary. • In order to evaluate the effectiveness of strategy, it is imperative to take the ‘people side’ into consideration. Sole reliance on financial documents (e.g., financial statements, cash flow statements, income statements) largely ignores investment in human capital. Learning objectives • Identify the advantages of integrating human resources planning and strategic planning. • Understand how an organization’s competitive environment influences its strategic planning. • Understand why it is important for an organization to do an internal resource analysis. • Describe the basic tools used for human resources forecasting. • Explain the linkages between competitive strategies and human resources. • Understand what is required for a firm to successfully implement a strategy. • Recognize the methods for assessing and measuring the effectiveness of a firm’s strategy. Why is this chapter important? The purpose of this chapter is to highlight the nexus of strategy and HR planning...

...CapraTek Training Program Design: HRM 5015 Leading and Managing Workplace Learning Training Topic Topic Identification The training topic I will design for CapraTek is Sexual Harassment: You make the call. Upon interviewing various supervisors for their different plants I found that overall they are all uncomfortable with their knowledge on laws that affect their associates. Considering that the new plant is being opened in a state where there is a mandatory sexual harassment training law. Strategic Needs Due to the mandatory regulation of this training it is cost effective to use this training as an opportunity to grow our leadership. By having a in person session with our supervising team we can instill leadership behaviors that will help them in other areas of leadership. This seminar will give them the tools needed to solve other law/policy related problems. If we have to spend money let us make sure that we are getting a better return on investment from it. Needs Analysis Currently our company’s objective is to open the plant in Illinois and train our supervising staff accordingly. One major obstacle to this is the mandatory regulation of sexual harassment training by the state. Our supervisor must know what is legally required of them and what we expect from them. Our expectation is that they are able to fully understand what is sexual harassment, what are the signs of it, who to prevent it and...

...coordination between corporate policies, local, state and federal regulations, and employee rights within the workplace. This paper will review a few of the principles examined during this course and applied to current work environments. Specifically, this paper will review the effect human resource management has on planning within a company through hiring, planning, and recruitment through the use of compensation and other benefits that are important to employee satisfaction. Discussions within our classroom environment included EEO and affirmative action, human resource development, safety and health, and employee and labor relations. While these are not the only components of human resource management, these are the items we addressed in class. Within my own company, our human resource department is divided among the divisions, with the main corporate office housing the human resource group for the entire company, and a small human resources group in the St. Louis office for the division I currently work for. For purposes of this paper, I will use the St. Louis information, as it is the group I am most familiar with. Additionally, I will address the corporate policies for the United States groups, as those apply to our division. The company I work for was acquired by an international corporation almost 4 years ago. Changes to our HR policies were frozen until this year, per the purchase agreement. The one policy that could not change until this year was our benefits package...

...Resources Management It used to be that human resource was only thought of as the department who hires employees and safe keeps the clerical part of the organization. Human Resource is much more involved in the entire structure of the organization then just the clerical part of it. Human Resource Management (HRM) is the term used to describe formal systems devised for the management of people within an organization. The HRM department is responsible for three major areas including staffing, employee compensation and benefits and defining and designing work. HRM works for the benefit of the organization through managing its greatest business asset which is the employees. The task of managing employees of an organization brings many challenges, how HRM must remain focused on recruiting, retaining and engaging their organizations leaders and workforce to be successful. Several new trends are affecting how HRM make their hiring decisions. Two recent trends important to HRM leaders are leadership compensation/competencies and workforce engagement. In the setting of limited resources and new government mandates, healthcare is moving toward value-based care. HRM is now challenged to adjust executive compensation to keep in step with the industry change. In a population health model, physicians receive a value-based reimbursement to care rather than a fee for services. The physicians’ performance needs to be continually monitored in order to accurately compensate them across...

...The key function of HRM that this essay will explore is the impact Employee Relations has in the way in which HR operates in many departments. Human resource Management is department which most businesses use as a means of enabling people’s capabilities in order to achieve a critical competitive advantage that’s attained through a distinctive set of integrated employment policies, programmes and practices. (Bratton &Gold 2007).This essay will provide an in depth discussion of components and the key players involved in Employment Relations that are seen in organizations today, as well as the importance of the integration of other key HRM practices and the management of the organisation as a whole. As well as examining the key HR functions I will also analyse the key models, theories and concepts that have a direct impact on HRM such as the Fombrun, Harvard and Warwick models that are seen to be used in many different organisations today. Employee Relations is a collective term in the Human Resources function that includes employee engagement within the workplace, values the employees’ rights to be part of trade unions. It also sets in stone in most organisations the employment legislation as well as managing grievance and disciplinary actions. Employment Relations is regarded as a relatively new term as it has previously was known as industrial relations conversely it does not have the same standards and equality as Employment Relations has in the Human Relations workplace. ...
