...Employee Engagement - Development Class: Leadership and Organizational Behavior This research analyzes the significance of employee development programs that emphasizes on employee engagement. It also focuses on the organization involvement in career development plans. As analysis methods, we created a survey that was issued to friends and family. We also conducted a focus group with an undergraduate class. The results determined that training and development will increase employee engagement. The purpose of this project is to understand and analyze the importance of employee development programs. Not focusing on one organization allows the project to be a general overview. This project will provide conclusions and recommendations for employee engagement. There is no single formula for creating an employee development program, but there are some important components that should be considered. A truly effective employee development program should include learning, career planning, goal setting, and evaluation. These areas will help the program be beneficial to the employees who utilize and to the organization that provides it. Without them, the employee development reverts back to being simply thinking. According to Schein, Organizations today are undergoing a metamorphosis. Whether one thinks of it as “downsizing,””rightsizing,””flattening,” becoming a “learning organization,” or simply as “transformations” into something as yet unknown, no one would challenge...

...Workplace Flexibility as a Competitive Advantage Matthew R. Wilson GB520-01N: Strategic Human Resources Management Kaplan University February 28, 2012 Abstract Times are changing. Technological advances have launched radically new methods of communicating and working allowing tremendous expansion of business into a globalized marketplace. In turn, the workplace environment has become similarly complex and ever-changing bringing a vast number of challenges to the employee and employer. Workers are experiencing greater demand for their time both on the job and at home; and, this struggle to find work-life balance has quickly become a vital issue in the workforce. Thus, it falls upon the HR professional to bring viable solutions to these work-life issues while strategically working to align employee performance with corporate objectives. Workplace flexibility strategies seem to be the answer. However, developing strategies that produce measurable results and thus solicit the engagement of top-level executives as well as front line employees is not easy. This makes the role of the HR team even more critical to the success of businesses today. Workplace Flexibility as a Competitive Advantage As the business world becomes more diverse and global in nature, the necessity for workplace flexibility also grows. The generational diversity that exists today, as well as the shifting dynamics of industry in the United States, presents a greater importance on work-life balance...
