Shannon Albright has an accounting degree from a U.S. accredited university. She also became certified as a CPA (certified public accountant). Upon graduation, she was offered and accepted an entry-level accounting position at a firm in Atlanta, GA. She has been gainfully employed with this firm for the last 5 years. Recently she interviewed with your firm, which is located in Boston, MA. You, working for the human resources department, want to hire Shannon for your organization’s financial accountant position. You know Shannon is a strong candidate, and you want to develop a competitive offer that will attract Shannon yet still fit within the company’s budget and compensation structure (i.e., considering both internal and external equity). With this in mind, you are asked to prepare the offer for Shannon. The following will be included in this package and should be specific to Shannon and this situation: Compensation package: What pay rate will you offer (using salary survey research as support)? What else may be included in the compensation package? Incentive plan: What performance-based incentives does this offer include?Benefits plan: What specific benefit plans does this offer include? It is important to provide the necessary supporting details to explain the incentives and benefits being offered. The more details you provide, the better educated Shannon will be to make her decision to accept. Along with these packages, you will include a 1-page cover letter addressed to your supervisor that outlines what you propose to offer. This cover letter should explain and justify the compensation package, incentive plan, and benefits plan. Make sure to discuss job location and experience level your detailed plans will then follow that cover page. Using the Internet and library, locate all necessary information for constructing these 3 packages. This is a research assignment so be sure to include and cite your research within the paper using APA style.

This week we delve into specific and more “traditional” HR functions. Reflect for a moment on our week 1 discussions focused on the strategic nature of HR. We determined that for an organization to be successful today, HRMs need to be part of the corporate strategic planning process. Once the organization’s strategic goals have been identified, HRMs then work with their team to develop the HR Strategic (Long term) plan. Based upon the HR strategic plan, HRM’s next develop the HR operational or day-to-day policies and procedures for recruiting, hiring, compensating and developing the organization’s employees. There should be a process flow cascading from the corporate strategic policy to the HR strategic policy which then determines the HR policies and procedures for the organization.Recruiting and selection are the functions most people consider as the “typical” HR functions, as we have said. What I hope you will develop as you read the text and think about our discussion questions, is an appreciation for how the recruitment process has changed over time. Today’s HRMs use metrics and detailed analyses to develop specific job descriptions and determine the fitness of the applicant during the recruitment process. HRMs plan and manage the employee recruitment efforts and activities based upon their well-defined job analyses. Think of the job analysis effort as the scaffolding upon which the recruitment effort is built. We will explore these topics very generally this week.  UMGC offers HRMN 400: Staffing, Recruiting, and Performance Management for a more in-depth study of recruiting and selection. Your text begins the job analysis discussion on page 4 and the author does a good job explaining the job analysis process. What they don’t do is give you an organizational context or a sense of the scope of the process development exercise. Imagine for a moment conducting a job analysis for Marriott or Delta Airlines? What about Cisco Systems or Microsoft? These are huge corporations with thousands of employees working both nationally and internationally. Of course these giant corporations have large HR departments tasked with implementing HR policies, but the same job analysis process supports every effort. Make sure you develop your understanding of this important HR function.Once the job analysis is complete, an HRM begins writing specific job descriptions. I think we are most familiar with these. We see them in newspapers and on Linkedin. A well-written job description means the organization has a better chance of recruiting the “right” employee for the job. Be sure to check-out the great diagram in Figure 4.5 on page 20. That flow is exactly how the recruitment process works.In addition to the technical skills in developing job descriptions, HRMs need to understand the employment laws that affect hiring practices. The EEOC commission oversees workplace equality. HRMs want to ensure our corporations are in compliance with EEOC laws. (Some of the recommended articles last week focused on the EEOC laws. If you didn’t read them, now is a good time to do so!)Finally, all of this data needs to be effectively organized and managed in a human resource information system, which is essentially a type of database that tracks employee and applicant data.  This data can help HRMs generate reports and relevant metrics for  analysis and planning. For example, HRMs want to be cost effective in their recruitment process. The HRIS can help them calculate important metrics such as time-to-hire and cost-per-hire. DISCUSSION INSTRUCTIONS:To respond to this week’s questions you have a choice. You want to develop your ideas in response to either Question 1 or Question 2. Everyone must respond to Question 3.Begin a new thread for each Discussion response. Take your time and develop each question thoroughly. In the Title line identify the response with the question number. Example: Question 1 or Question 2. When you Reply to another student, simply, click on Reply, review your title and being typing your response into the text box.

This week, we studied and discussed metrics relevant to the whole organization. For this assignment, you will demonstrate your understanding of these metrics by writing a short paper (about 2000  words) that addresses the following questions: What can each metric demonstrate? What is its importance to HRM and strategic decision-making? What would be learned from statistics derived from this metric? Where might one find (or collect) the raw data for this metric? How would you implement tracking this metric in an organizational dashboard/balanced scorecard? What, if any, potential difficulties might create challenges in tracking this metric?

Effective crisis communication planning requires having accurate demographic information. What languages are spoken in a particular area? Where do the more vulnerable populations live? Who is responsible for making decisions?Effective communication strategies are typically rapid, accurate, and involve input from all those in decision-making positions. Understanding the cultural milieu and support systems may be challenging for responders from the area and even more so for responders from outside of the area. Overlay these obstacles with a technological inability to communicate inside or outside the region, and planning for communication before a crisis then takes on added importance. Additionally, without effective communication plans in place, disaster rumors and inaccurate or outdated information can in turn cause great chaos.Furthermore, vulnerable populations can prove to be the most challenging people to assist after a disaster. As evidenced in the 2010 Haiti earthquake, relief was not immediate because of the existing impoverished pre-disaster conditions. Facilities such as airstrips and roads were in questionable repair, so aid coming in was not readily accessible. Most Haitians are low-income, existing on two U.S. dollars per day, and only 50% of the population is literate and able to read directions in order to find locations for food and water. Factors such as these contributed to difficulties in assisting this vulnerable population in the aftermath of the disaster.To prepare for this Discussion:Review Chapter 2 in your course text, Crisis Intervention Strategies, paying particular attention to multicultural perspectives and considerations.Review the article, “Psychological Assessment of Children in Disasters and Emergencies,” and focus on the special issues related to assessing the needs of children and adolescents after a crisis. Also concentrate on the different psychological assessment tools that are appropriate for use with this population after a crisis.Review the article, “Natural Disasters that Reveal Cracks in Our Social Foundation.” Think about the ways in which a break down in services and communication can be avoided for the elderly population during crises like the 2003 France heat wave.Review the article, “The Transformation of Traditional Mental Health Service Delivery in Multicultural Society in California, USA That Can Be Replicated Globally,” paying particular attention to the necessity of mental health services as a top priority during crises.Review the article, “Vulnerable Populations in an American Red Cross Shelter After Hurricane Katrina,” and think about the ways in which the ‘Model of Vulnerable Populations’ helps address crises wherein people suffer from multiple losses in their communities. Also think about appropriate mental health obligations that should be taken into consideration when working with vulnerable populations during and after a crisis.Review the article, “Responding to Student or Teacher Death: Preplanning Crisis Intervention,” and focus on the importance of communicating with parents and students, as well as fostering a grieving process that facilitates healing after a student or teacher death.Reflect on your Application Assignment from this week and think about the alternative communication systems and strategies that can be used when assisting individuals who have experienced a crisis. Also think about the ways in which to reach and communicate with vulnerable populations in these same situations.Choose one alternative communication system/strategy and one strategy for communicating with and reaching vulnerable populations that you described in your Application Assignment from this week.With these thoughts in mind:Post by Day 5 a brief description of the alternative communication system/strategy that you chose and one example of how it was used during/after a crisis. Then provide a brief description of the strategy for reaching and communicating with vulnerable populations that you chose and one example of how it was effectively used during/after a crisis.Article: Balaban, V.
