Managing a Compliant and Diverse Workplace

 

Recall from  Assignment 1 the company had a few HR-related lawsuits that were not in  the company’s favor. To be more specific, claims of harassment, not  reasonably accommodating disabilities and work-life balance concerns  were all issues brought by employees forcing the company to answer to,  and defend itself. As the new CHRO you want to enact stronger policies  and guidelines to avoid these types of situations in the future.

Write a five to six (5-6) page paper in which you:

  1. Briefly  note how harassment in the workplace affects equal employment  opportunity and describe at least 4 elements a plaintiff must show to go  forward with a harassment claim. How might an organization avoid these  elements from occurring? HINT:
    https://i-sight.com/resources/6-tips-to-avoid-harassment-and-discrimination-claims/ 
  2. Explain  your overall understanding on reasonable accommodation of disability  (consider reviewing ADA rules). Then, discuss a minimum of 3 things a  plaintiff filing a failure to accommodate claim must show that helps to  prove they are qualified for the job in question. 
  3. Make a  connection between religious advocacy/harassment and bona fide  occupational qualification. Can churches promoting a certain religion  refuse to hire those who have a different religion? If so or if not,  why? 
  4. Discuss  your overall understanding of FMLA and the pregnancy discrimination act  as it relates to organizations granting leave for each. Then, identify  2-3 common FMLA mistakes managers make and what you would do to avoid  the mistakes. HINT: http://www.kansastag.gov/AdvHTML_Upload/files/FMLA-5-Slip-Ups-White-Paper.pdf 
  5. Go to https://research.strayer.edu  to locate at least three (3) quality academic resources in this  assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other websites do not qualify as  academic resources.

Case Study: Mortgage Approval Time Study

Read the following case study:

A major financial services company wishes to better understand its mortgage approval process. In particular, the company is interested in learning about the effects of good versus fair credit history, the size of the mortgage (less than $500,000 versus greater than $500,000), and the region of the United States (western versus eastern) on the time it takes to get a mortgage approved.
