Option #2: Managing Human Capital

One of the defining responsibilities of a human resource professional is to effectively manage human capital. There are many strategies and tactics that can be employed, including certain recruitment and selection techniques, compensation incentives, and training and development. In whatever strategies and tactics are taken, the intention is to assist senior management in creating and sustaining a well-structured and well-managed operation. The most important measure of organizational effectiveness for a business is usually expressed in terms of how well its net profitability compares with its target profitability. Additional measures associated with organizational effectiveness can include, but are not limited to, an organization’s growth data and customer satisfaction survey results.

With that background, write a paper that addresses the following:

• Assess the term “human capital” and its relevance for an organization.
• Discuss the role and function of human resources in relation to human capital.
• Present four strategies that a human resource professional would propose to an organization to more effectively manage their human capital, including how a human resource professional would be an integral component of that plan.

• 5-7 pages in length, or about 2300 words, not including title and reference pages (which are required). Include a formal references page.

Selecting Metrics for a Home Renovation Project

Since metrics keep stakeholders in tune to the health of a project, metrics must be a clear and truthful representation of project status. Consider this scenario.

You are the project manager of a company that does home remodeling and you have just been given a major remodeling project which will update the electrical and heat and air systems, kitchen, and the single bathroom of a house built in 1930. Your project also adds another bedroom with a master suite. The client has authorized a budget of $95,000 and wants the house ready for Thanksgiving, which is six months away.

Your general contractor (GC) has called you in to discuss the project and asks you to put together a set of metrics that will communicate the project status to her, to the homeowners, the building trade groups, and any other stakeholders. Your GC has asked to meet again in three days with your recommendation which you must be able to defend.

Prepare your metrics of project health and be ready to defend the following:

• how many metrics you will use and why that is the “right” number,
• what the metrics are that you have chosen and why,
• explain that you will use both quantitative and qualitative metrics what they are and why,
• explain how and when you’ll get the data,
• what metrics will allow you to find mistakes early enough in the project for correction, and,
• explain which metrics will improve client satisfaction.

Remember that metrics must have a purpose, have a baseline and target, a way to measure, a way to appropriately interpret them and a reporting structure. Be ready to defend your choices relative to those things too. You will present your ideas in a formal paper for the purposes of this class.

A Chinese proverb states, “In a broken nest, there are few whole eggs.” Within an organization, broken professional relationships may result in damage to the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization. For a leader, any “crack” or “break” in leadership may create future problems within the organization. With use of Leader-Member Exchange Theory and Social Network Theory, an effective leader may find that the creation of positive, professional relationships with subordinates is helpful in preventing breaks in relationships in order to guide an organization toward success. 

For this Discussion, reflect on the similarities and differences between Leader-Exchange Theory and Social Network Theory. Consider how you might integrate each theory into your own personal, unified leadership theory. Think about how you might use this theory in a health care administration scenario.

Post a brief comparison between Leader-Member Exchange and Social Network Theory. Then, explain how you might apply Leader-Member Exchange Theory and Social Network Theory into your personal, unified leadership theory. Finally, relate this personal, unified theory to a health care administration scenario with which you are familiar. Be specific and provide examples.
