Project

The project assignment provides a forum for analyzing and evaluating relevant topics for this week on the basis of the course competencies covered.

Introduction

You are the HR Manager for a manufacturing company. The company is open seven days a week and twenty-four hours per day. There have been constant disagreements between the production manager, the sales manager, and the quality assurance manager. The sales associates have promised each client a shipment on a specific date, bypassed the quality assurance manager, and gone straight to the production manager. The production manager has shipped the product without allowing the quality assurance team to inspect the merchandise before it is shipped. Each time this situation occurs, a customer returns the defected merchandise and the quality assurance team is blamed. In addition to the new orders that must be shipped, the organization has to replace and ship another order to the previous customer. Since this is a replacement order, the organization cannot charge the customer. Employee morale is low and no one has received a raise in a year. The performance appraisals are used as means to terminate employees, and the job descriptions are outdated. Lastly, the company is on the verge of losing several large contracts as well as competitive advantage. Before you begin to tackle this organizational issue, let us begin with some preliminary work.

• Select one of the issues you identified and describe how you would address this issue to comply with both legal and professional standards of practice.

Stakeholder Involvement  

Strayer  University is moving to a new HR/payroll system that is sponsored by a  firm called Workday.com. You have been asked to oversee the stakeholder  management aspects of this project. Identify some of the key  stakeholders at Strayer, and describe how you plan to keep them engaged  during your year-long project.

NOTE: MORE THAN ONE ANSWER POSTED CHOOSE ANY

 Create a 10-slide PowerPoint presentation for the organization’s management team in which you analyze and compare three human resource information systems.

• Competency 2: Use data to support human resource management decision making.

  • Communicate in a manner that is professional and consistent with expectations for human resource professionals and master’s-level programs.

Preparation

Familiarize yourself with the Guidelines for Effective PowerPoint Presentations to ensure your recommendations are clearly presented to the intended audience. 

Instructions

Based on FFH’s organization and culture or that of your workplace or an organization you are familiar with, conduct an online search for at least three human resource information systems (HRIS). Management has decided to select a more up-to-date and user-friendly HRIS that will allow for employee self-serve options. Employees would be able to check in and out of work online, review their benefits and payroll information, and make changes to things like the number of exemptions, beneficiaries, level of benefits selected, et cetera. Data tracking including sales figures, absenteeism, and performance evaluations would also be an additional benefit.

Using your own research, include the following in a PowerPoint presentation for your three HRIS recommendations to an organization’s management team:

• Analyze human resource information systems for attributes that meet FFH’s or your selected organization’s employee needs. How will globalization and cultural and inclusive practices be supported by each HRIS?  
• Develop a chart indicating the pros and cons for each HRIS. The chart should identify the three systems you selected, each website’s URL, and supporting data. What analytical methods could be applied? 
• Assess how workplace privacy can be supported by the selected human resource information systems.
• Articulate your HRIS recommendations. How do your recommendations support FFH’s or the selected organization’s goals?
• Explain the potential cost savings of selecting one of the HRIS recommendations. Indicate at least five ways an HRIS will streamline HR processes and save the organization money. These might include tracking training programs, onboarding processes, succession planning, et cetera.

Select a slide template appropriate for a professional presentation. Include the content of the slides as well as a supporting narrative in the notes. Do not over-build your slides; use them to support what you will be saying, which should appear in the notes of each slide.

The presentation of your HRIS recommendations should demonstrate graduate-level writing skills through the accurate communication of thoughts that support a central idea and use of correct grammar and mechanics as expected of a human resources professional.

Additional Requirements

• References: Support your analysis with at least two academic, scholarly, or professional resources
• Format: Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA style and format.
• Length: Ten PowerPoint slides, in addition to the title slide and references list.
• Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point.
