An exploration of the evolving role of a Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) topic that moves to a human capital perspective.

Guidelines

Students will complete a major research paper on a SHRM topic of their choice, that traces the evolving perspective of moving from an administrative to a human capital position on a topic of their choice. In addition to functional topics, including issues in staffing, employee learning, employee relations, performance management, total rewards, and HR information systems, students can include topics that mirror the course’s primary perspectives of human capital management, HR metrics, or line/HR partnering as their primary subject. 

Best Practices

Students can choose a topic of their own areas of specific interest on any HRM area covered in the course. Given the point of view taken in HRM591, the paper should reflect the strategic shift in HRM from labor as a cost to be controlled to labor as an asset in which to be invested. This perspective should treat the chosen topic and trace how it has changed to reflect the challenges presented by a technology-driven global economy. Research should trace the historical roots of the topic and how technology, globalization, and other strategic forces have shaped its changes. The paper length should be a minimum of 8–12 pages and comply with all formatting and APA style standards. Some suggested topics can include, but not be limited to, the following.

Most of the best known academic and popular journals will provide acceptable content. Primary among them are some of the following journals and publications.

• People & Strategy (formally human resource planning)
• Harvard Business Review
• Human Resource Management
• Academy of Management Journals (various titles included)
• Journal of Labor Economics
• Human Resource Management Review
• Personnel Psychology
• International Journal of Human Resource Management
• Journal of Management
• Sloan Management Review
• California Management Review
• Administrative Sciences Quarterly

This paper should reflect the collective efforts of the entire course content and the strategic evolution of HRM from a marginalized area of practice to one that assumes a position within management that is reflective of the potential role that effective workforce planning and development can play. The chosen topic should be framed in the above perspective and trace where it has been, where it is now, and what future direction it can take. Students’ research should defend why their chosen topic matters to senior management and the cost/benefit justifications that are required to defend that position. In short, the paper should speak to the two essential questions by which the course is framed. Those questions ask, “so what and now what?”

Include a cover page and reference page, formatting, in-text citations, and references are to be to APA standards.

• Indent paragraphs
• Paragraphs should have at least three sentences.
• Double space
• Numbers under 10 are to be spelled out.
• One font only- 12 pt Times New Roman (unless you need to use something different and larger that is okay, just make the paper consistent). The title page should be the same font.
• Be sure to included in-text citation for any information that you are mentioning that is not original content and include the full reference on the reference page per APA. Use Citefast or Citemachine to help with this. 
• Reference Page – Reference as a title is to be centered and not bold.
• References on the reference page are to have a hanging indention. 
• Many quotes used, keep in mind that each paragraph you write should be 80% original content from you and 20% can be from references. 
• Taking a quote and citing it is not answering the question. Use the quote to define your point. References should be use to validate the points you trying to make to give more validity. 
• In-text Citations ) one author)- (Author, year) or Author, year, p.)
• Submit using a word document not a PDF.

 Click on this link to go to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission website and then select one (1) case from the list. Look for a case, which has not yet been discussed.  

• Then, assess the major federal provision that was violated. 
• Recommend at least three (3) action steps to avoid making a similar violation as hiring manager.  
• List the Case Name in your response.  Ex.  EEOC v. Ruby Tuesday, No. 2:09-1330 (W.D.Pa. 2009)

Assignment 4 : Human Resource Business Partner (HRBP) Development 
Due Week 10 and worth 250 points 

Your previous contributions addressing a variety of important topics outlined in all previous assignments for this course are deemed essential in supporting the business’ overall organizational structure and competitive advantage strategy. It is now time to consider developing your own HR department team to ensure they have the requisite skills and competencies necessary to perform at high levels over time. Effective and motivated HR business partners (HRBP) will be the key to translating HR and business strategy into action. The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) Body of Competency and Knowledge (BoCK) can be an invaluable resource to help develop and certify HR professionals. You must now explain to the management team the components of this model and how it can be leveraged to achieve operational success for the HR department. A 1-hour meeting has been scheduled and the CEO will be in attendance. 

Create a 20-slide minimum PowerPoint presentation with your script/discussion/commentary in the Notes section of each slide in which you: 

1. Include cover, presentation agenda, conclusion, and reference list slides, all of which may count toward total slide count. 
2. Provide a slide with an overview on the importance of having a highly-developed staff of HR business partners. Be clear with your position. HINT: http://www.scottmadden.com/wp-content/uploads/userFiles/misc/8d0d88c7547b6e2b8f6f6fcba6a9d6b3.pdf 
3. Provide 1-4 slides introducing the SHRM BoCK model and its components. Be sure to highlight each of the areas of the model. NOTE: It is highly recommended to insert an image the actual SHRM BoCK model into the presentation. 
4. Include in the remaining slides the following required presentation information: 
   • Provide a minimum of three (3) to four (4) bullet points (more if needed) of information or discussion describing specifics on the SHRM-BoCK’s “Behavioral Competencies” 
   • Provide a minimum of three (3) to four (4) bullet points (more if needed) of information or discussion describing specifics on the SHRM-BoCK’s “HR Expertise; Domains 1 & 2” 
   • Provide a minimum of three (3) to four (4) bullet points (more if needed) of information or discussion describing specifics on the SHRM-BoCK’s “HR Expertise: Domains 3 & 4” 
   • Provide a minimum of three (3) to four (4) bullet points (more if needed) of information or discussion describing specifics on certifying your HRBP’s. 
   • Reminder – good PowerPoints have very few words on the slides themselves—almost all of the information you need to include should be in the Notes.  
5. Use at least four (4) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: You may only use the resources listed in the course guide and those that are specifically provided by the instructor. 

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements: 

• Select any one of three professional PowerPoint templates provided by the instructor (Required). 
• Have headings for each section with all bulleted information aligned properly and using the same font and size. Images may be used but must be professional and relevant to the topic. The source(s) of all images must be credited with both citation and reference. Check with your professor for any additional instructions. 
• Include citations and references for all information received from other sources. 
• All bullet point information in the Notes sections must be descriptive and have a minimum of 3-4 full sentences. 

The specific course outcomes associated with this assignment are:  

• Defend the importance of having a highly-developed staff of HR business partners 
• Convince stakeholders of the value in using the SHRM BoCK model to achieve HR operational success. 

 An organization needs to have project management built into its culture to be effective. Evaluate the maturity of the project management culture in your organization and describe improvements that can be implemented based on your text readings. If you feel your organization does not yet have a project management culture explain why and suggest improvements that could be accomplished. 

You are the Employee Relations Specialist for a national retail company with locations across the United States. The nearly 500 company employees are diverse in terms of age and demographic differences. Your primary work location is Southeast Pennsylvania. Recently, the employees in the mid-Atlantic region, managed by Kristopher Kolumbus, have expressed dissatisfaction with the work environment. There are approximately 125 employees in the mid-Atlantic region. Their specific concerns include receiving small pay raises for the past 2 – 3 years, limited employee benefits, lack of career mobility and progression, and heightened security controls implemented due to theft concerns. There has been recent talk among the employees about the possibility of unionization, and some workers have begun exploring options such as United Food & Commercial Workers International Union and the Retail, Wholesale, and Department Store Union. Before either of these unions will send an organizer to the organization, it wants to be sure that sufficient employees will back union representation. Some employees have started company-wide communication to increase interest in unionization.

As the Employee Relations Specialist, it is your responsibility to ensure that supervisors and managers follow the rules regarding a union organizing campaign. In response to this potential campaign, you decide to take some initial actions and prepare several documents to share with your boss, the Director of Human Resources:

• A summary email to the Director of Human Resources describing the issues and what actions you are taking (which include the below items)
• A one-page memo to all managers and supervisors indicating what they can and cannot do during any union organizing effort.
• An email to your human resource colleagues about actions the HR team should consider in response to some of the concerns raised by the Mid-Atlantic Region employees
• An outline for a meeting to be held between Human Resources and the organization’s leadership team regarding the organizing effort

Requirements include:

• Cover Page with Name, Date, and Title of Assignment
• Each of the 4 items indicated above (summary email, one-page memo, email to your human resource colleagues, and outline for a meeting)
• Headings to separate the sections of the paper
• A minimum of three sources (two must be from the course materials) for each response
• In-text citations in APA style
• Reference page using APA style
