Step 4: Completing the Job Announcement

To complete the job announcement: 

• Define the term ‘leader’ that fits Biotech. You are not taking an existing definition and applying it to Biotech. You must create an original definition.
• Identify the leadership competencies the new leaders at Biotech will possess to accomplish its vision.
• Identify the leadership style(s) encouraged by Biotech’s definition.

The job announcement must have a narrative and is not a compilation of bullets for the leadership aspect of the project.  The job announcement must comply with the requirements set out by Indeed.com. Remember that this job announcement relates to leadership.

Imagine a scenario where you are a senior HR leader and have been asked to present to the executive team on human resource management, talent management and its connection to strategy.

Purpose

· Apply the models and theories of Human Resource Management at both the strategic and operational level to improve overall organizational competitiveness.

· Synthesize business competencies to align the human resource functions to support the organization competitiveness and strategic initiatives.

· Apply human resource theory by creating the need for Human Resources Management inside an organization.

· Show how HRM practices contribute to HR models.

Description

· This assignment requires you to create a PowerPoint slide deck of 20 slides with narration (approximately 30-45 minute presentation).

· Your presentation should advocate for the need for HRM. The first two chapters of Slitzer and Dowell (2009) should assist in the creation of this presentation.

You should also include reference to the models within the textbook (specifically Figure 1.2) and explain how the different HRM practices contribute to the model. 

Instructions

For this assignment, prepare a PowerPoint presentation to train mid-level managers in your organization. The focus is to help the managers design an effective training process for employees in their department. 

This presentation should simulate an actual presentation that will be delivered to the managers. You must utilize the slide notes function in PowerPoint to add speaker notes to each slide; these notes should be used in order to explain or expand on slide content as if you were actually presenting this to your audience. Alternatively, you may add audio to the slides, but if you do so, you will need to provide a transcript of your audio in a separate Word document and upload it in Blackboard in addition to the PowerPoint file.

Include (at a minimum) the points below in your training delivery.

• Include an overview of the training.
• In conducting a needs analysis, what are the steps?
• What is the content of the training?
• How are trainer(s) selected?
• Identify two organizational objectives.
• Identify two training objectives.
• Identify who is the target audience for the training. What are their learning styles?
• Evaluate training models. Which one would you select, and why?
• Compare and contrast different training methods.
• Connect the training methods to learning styles.
• How will the effectiveness of the training be evaluated, and why is evaluation critical?
• How should managers ensure transfer of training? 

At the end of the PowerPoint presentation, you must have one slide with five evaluation questions to determine the effectiveness of your training. 

Your PowerPoint presentation must be a minimum of 15 slides in length, not counting the title or reference slides. As aforementioned, you must add slide notes or audio to the slides.

Imagine that you have just been hired by a new company as the director of the HR department.

 The final paper for BU214 will focus on Ethics in Healthcare Administration. For this paper the student will identify an ethical issue in healthcare and prepare a personal position paper that will focus on the following areas:

 – What is the ethical issue

 – Who does this affect and how

 – Why is this an ethical issue

 – What are some alternatives to this particular ethical issue

– Your personal position on this particular ethical issue

This case study will be prepared in APA format including double spacing and references. The paper should be 5 to 10 pages in length (not including cover or references). The grading rubric is listed below and should be referenced when conducting your research and preparing your paper. Students are encouraged to present your potential topics prior to starting your research. 
 

Respond to classmate initial post. 275 words,  
 

First — DO NOT just write “yep, I agree” — that’s not helpful.
 

Be very careful with phrases that mean “I feel” — feelings are real, and usually based on something — so, when you start with “I feel” — continue with “because …..” Chances are pretty good that you’ll see the “I feel” part isn’t necessary.
 

When you say “I agree” — follow it up with a cause beginning with “because” — that will further explain your position.
 

Don’t shy away from conflict or objections in your responses — that’s what’s interesting.
 

I’m looking for your original thoughts — that means that I want to see what else you think on the topic. So, extend your ideas a bit — push the envelope, take risks, try out ideas that you don’t believe in. 

This also means that you can’t just copy and paste stuff.

Also, include references and citations. APA Format. 

Please read rubric 100% before starting. Thank you in advance.

 Think of a specific company that you have worked for, or are familiar with, and analyze how the human resource manager(s) functioned in alignment (or not) with your definition.
