Discussion 2
Strategic human resource
management (HRM) has been defined as a consistent pattern of planned human
resources activities and deployments intended to enable an organization to meet
its goals. Further, strategic HRM, also consists of many components including
aligning the utilization of human resources with the mission, vision, values
and culture of the organization, as well as branding, competitive advantage,
organizational development, diversity management, organizational structure, and
evidence-based HRM.
Using resources, other
than your textbook, identify an organization that successfully implemented
strategic HRM initiatives. Present the initiatives and discuss the business
strategies achieved as a result of the initiatives.
GCU AMP 434 Week 2
Discussion 1
Identify an
organizational-level goal that would be incorporated into an annual business
strategy (e.g., financial performance, service, productivity, competitive
advantage, innovation.). Develop three organizational development strategies
relating to HRM you would utilize as a manager to support this goal. Create the
goals utilizing SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely)
criteria, specifically identifying how the goal will be measured using
evidence-based HRM.
GCU AMP 434 Week 2
Discussion 2
Access the Scenario
Generator. Create a scenario for Project 1: Strategic HRM Proposal. The
characteristics of this scenario should differ from the characteristics in your
Scenario Generator Report. Briefly compare and contrast these characteristics
with the characteristics in your Scenario Generator Report. How would
organizational strategy differ between the two scenarios?
AMP 434 Week 2 Strategic
HRM Plan Benchmark Assessment
Details:
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).
While APA format is not
required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected,
and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA
documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in
the Student Success Center.
Instructors will be using
a grading rubric to grade the assignments. It is recommended that learners review
the rubric prior to beginning the assignment in order to become familiar with
the assignment criteria and expectations for successful completion of the
assignment.
The Strategic HRM Proposal
is the first of four assignments. The organizational profile developed for the
Strategic HRM Proposal by the HRM Scenario Generator will be used in the
remaining three assignments.
You are not required to
submit this assignment to Turnitin, unless otherwise directed by your
instructor. If so directed, refer to the Student Success Center for directions.
Only Word documents can be submitted to Turnitin.
GCU AMP 434 Week 3

Testing can be an
effective tool in the selection of qualified candidates. Testing can include,
but is not limited to the following areas: personality, talent assessment, job
task proficiency and productivity, physical ability, drug testing, lie-detector
analysis, background checks, cognitive assessment, emotional intelligence,
credit checks, computer literacy, basic skills, and English proficiency. Select
three types of pre-employment testing and discuss the purpose, effectiveness in
the selection process, legal parameters for use of the testing, costs
associated with administration of the testing, and recommendation for the use
of the testing.
GCU AMP 434 Week 3

Successful interviews are
carefully planned and executed events. Discuss the purpose and successful
application of different types of interview environments (traditional, panel or
committee, group, telephone, etc.) and questions (behavioral, situational,
open-ended, case studies, etc.). Include a discussion of how to avoid the use
of illegal interview questions.

and understanding with your colleagues.

Scenario Generator Report.
Summarize the general
characteristics of your organization.
In subsequent posts for
Module 4, compare the characteristics of your organization with that of your
classmates.
GCU AMP 434 Week 4
Discussion 2
Organizations can avoid
investing in training and development activities because it is difficult to
quantify the ROI (return on investment). As a manager who has identified a need
for training and development in your organization, develop a training and
development proposal to be presented to the leadership team. Include a brief
overview of different delivery methods for training and development, expected
outcomes, and potential return on investment. Include a citation for your
research.
