...second major HRM function, human resource development, refers to performance appraisal and training activities. The basic goal of appraisal is to provide feedback to employees concerning their performance. This feedback allows them to evaluate the appropriateness of their behavior in the eyes of their coworkers and managers, correct weaknesses, and improve their contribution. HRM professionals must devise uniform appraisal standards, develop review techniques, train managers to administer the appraisals, and then evaluate and follow up on the effectiveness of performance reviews. They must also tie the appraisal process into compensation and incentive strategies, and work to ensure that federal regulations are observed. Training and development activities include the determination, design, execution, and analysis of educational programs. Orientation programs, for example, are usually necessary to acclimate new hires to the company. The HRM training and education role may encompass a wide variety of tasks, depending on the type and extent of different programs. In any case, the HRM professional ideally is aware of the fundamentals of learning and motivation, and must carefully design effective training and development programs that benefit the overall organization as well as the individual. Training initiatives may include apprenticeship, internship, job rotation, mentoring, and new skills programs. Human resource management (HRM), or human resource development, entails planning...

...evaluating the different development models that China and India embrace. It is easy to find works contrasting the two countries’ economic reforms, political systems, social progress and human development, yet direct comparison between China and India’s building of soft power is lacking. However, the understanding of how China and India build their soft power strength is essential as the two Asian giants, both of which have splendid cultures and a long history, are on the rise and eager to shine in the world stage. To address such inadequacy, this paper intends to present an assessment on China and India’s soft power building and find out who has the lead in the race. 1.2 Structure of the Study The paper is divided into several sections. It begins with a literature review that goes over studies on China and India’s soft power strength. Then, it proceeds to explain the key concept “soft power” using Nye’s classic theoretical framework. Concerning the different nature of the three soft power resources, the three main parts of the paper are organized in different ways. As for the discussion of culture as a soft power resource, the paper focuses on the events, actions, and behaviors that reveal China and India’s efforts to enhance their soft power strength by exploiting their cultural resources.

...HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT MGT 201 – ANALYTICAL ESSAY 28/07/2013 TOPIC: Analysing Staff Turnover, its Cost and Effects on the Business and Developing Strategies to Improve Staff Retention: Student Name: Fabio De Souza Lima Student Number: 0053455T Lecturer: Nathalie Hudson Sunday, 28 July 2013, 11:55pm In comparison with other types of industry, excess of labour turnover has become a chronic problem for Tourism related enterprises, especially in the Hospitality sector. It has the potential to cause (directly or indirectly) serious issues and generate a multitude of costs to a business. For example, the whole process of recruitment and training can be very expensive and, even costlier can be the potential decline in the levels of service quality and productivity, which can culminate in customer dissatisfaction and consequential weakening of the business. This paper seeks to analyse such scenario by investigating staff turnover cases occurred throughout a variety of corporations in the hospitality industry. It discusses how such situation will affect businesses and, at the same time, suggests how Human Resource Departments should approach the issue, in order to help companies retain its most valuable asset, the employees. The difference between staff turnover rates amongst managerial positions and other more peripheral positions became evident after research and so did the notion that staff turnover rates will vary depending on the size of corporations. But, above...

For the human resource frame, I scored 20. For the political frame, I scored 14. For the symbolic frame, I scored 13. I scored low in the structural frame. According to our textbook, “A low score may mean a blind spot,” (Weiss, 2011, p.154). This means that I would most likely not flourish in a bureaucratic-type culture. I find it odd that I would score so low on the structural frame as I really enjoy procedure and structure in my personal and work life. I scored highest in the human resource frame. I really appreciated scoring high in the human resource frame as my minor is in human resources. This means that I focus on people, developing their skills, seeing their growth as a personal accomplishment, and seeing them as not just a means to and end– but as the most important part of the organization. 2- Vision is the foundation of a successful organization. It is the base on which mission statements and strategies must be built on. According to An Introduction to Leadership, “It provides direction for the company’s course by outlining a destination, and invites participation through its positive and uplifting description,” (Weiss, 2011, p...

Your Director of Human Resources immediately advises you that employees have used the company’s Internet site to download pirated music, videos and software. You are well aware that all of such activities are criminal in violation of the copyright laws. However, the company does not have a formal policy on Internet use. Things become further complicated, when you also receive a Cease and Desist Letter from Adobe, informing you that it has discovered that some of its products have been pirated and have been used by various employees.
