Human Resources and Change

The major responsibilities of human resources management (HRM) are   attracting, developing, and maintaining a quality workforce. Research   an organization, with which you are familiar, that is in need of a   change and present how you will manage the change process by   incorporating the three essential duties of HRM.

Choose one subsystem to change and write a 1,250-1,500 word paper   addressing the following questions that pertain to the major human   resource management responsibilities and to change management.   Strengthen your recommendations by showing how your proposed changes   are working in another similar organization that is successful.

Address following in your paper:

1. Provide an overview of the organization you have chosen     including three subsystems of the organization, three stakeholders     of the organization, and the reason for selecting this   organization.
2. What one major organizational subsystem needs     to be changed in the organization? Justify your choice. How does it     compare to a similar successful organization?
3. How will the     subsystem change affect the two other subsystems within the     organization that you have identified and how will you realign the     total system?
4. Identify and explain how you would ensure     that the proposed change will satisfy any three stakeholders of the   organization?
5. How should the organization attract, develop,     and maintain the workforce required to bring about your     proposed change?
   • Choose at least one of the following in your discussion       about attracting a quality workforce to support the change in       Questions 2 and 3 above: human resource planning, recruitment, or     selection.
   • Choose at least one of the following in your       discussion about developing a quality workforce to support the       change in Questions 2 and 3 above: (and this must tie in to 4a       too): employee orientation, training and development, or       performance appraisal.
   • Choose at least one of the       following in your discussion about maintaining a quality workforce       to support the change in Questions 2 and 3 above (and must relate       to 4a and 4b): career development, work-life balance, compensation       and benefits, employee retention and turnover, or labor-management     relations.

Integrate a faith-based or worldview-based component in the paper   and make a clear connection on how it informs the groups’ management   practices. (NOTE: Individuals all have a worldview, and that worldview   influences their decisions, values, and perceptions. It also affects   how they manage people, or think they should be managed. For this   assignment, this requirement relates to the worldview of the presenters.

Include at least four academic references to support your position.   One of them should directly relate to the company discussed in your   paper and another to the organization to which you are comparing it.
