Team Management Activity and Reflection

This assignment focuses on how the management practices of planning, leading, organizing, staffing, and controlling are implemented in your workplace. Using the Ashford University Library and other credible online resources, find three Scholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources (Links to an external site.) that provide information on Amazon.com’s business structure.

Here is the scenario and situation:

Assume you are an employee working in the Amazon warehouse, and you pack orders and categorize them into small, medium, and large batches. You are considered a packer. You have experience packing all sizes and have been with the organization for two years. You are considered one of their best employees, you have a solid reputation for being a hard worker, and all of your orders are packed correctly. You have also been busy; you recently completed Amazon’s management training program, and you have completed your BABA degree at the Forbes School of Business and Technology at Ashford University.

Congratulations: You have just been promoted to manager. You will be relocated to a new plant that is two hours away that employs 100 employees. You will oversee a team of 10 supervisors and 90 packers and will now oversee the entire warehouse operation. How will you work to use and apply the five functions of management?

Now let’s apply the five functions. In your paper, include the following sections:

  • Planning: Examine the specific areas you will choose to manage that fall under the planning function.
    • For example, what might be some of the things you will plan to do and implement to build an effective team and culture? People are the most important resource in any business, what do you plan to do to build a positive team culture? What processes and systems do you plan to use?
  • Organizing: Assess if the present structure that Amazon has set up is working.
    • Do you need to make or suggest any changes to make it more efficient and effective? What structure will you use and implement? Explain how you will use departmentalization in your organizational structure.
  • Staffing: Analyze your staffing needs.
    • How do you intend to staff your organization and replace members that leave or are promoted? How does the HR process apply? What things (if any) will you suggest?
  • Leading: Justify the leadership theory and style you will follow to ensure efficiency.
    • Will you use transformational or transactional leadership? Why or why not?
  • Controls: Identify what controls and measures you will implement.
    • How will you apply the four steps of control (these are in Chapter 7; i.e., establishing standards, measuring performance, comparing performance, and making decisions)?

Be sure to integrate vocabulary learned throughout this course and citations from the text to support your analysis. The paper should be five to six double-spaced pages in length, must include at least three scholarly sources, in addition to the textbook, and be formatted according to APA style guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

The Team Management Activity and Reflection paper

  • Must be five to six double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.).

Option #1: Employee Performance Needs

A critical aspect of a performance management system is to create an organization in which employees can maximize their potential. Often maximizing employee potential requires negotiating requirements and performance standards, outcomes, and measures for employees. This week, we focus on identifying employee performance issues or skills and competency gaps and how we can address employee performance needs, while making an impact on the organization’s strategy.

For this assignment:

1. Identify how to determine individual performance management needs.  When responding to this question, consider the role of performance reviews in identifying performance strengths, weaknesses, and areas for opportunities. Think about how performance reviews impact/influence performance management.

2. Often during an individual performance needs assessment, we identify performance issues, skills, or/and competencies that are not being met. Describe how organizations can improve knowledge, skills, and abilities through implementing training and development programs.

3. Identify how organizations can determine the benefits and drawbacks of implemented programs and policies to improve performance. Explain the role of metrics in assessing program quality.

4. Finally, explain the relationship between employee performance and organizational strategy. 

Requirements:

· 5 PAGES

· 5 IN TEXT CITATIONS

· APA FORMAT

· TITLE AND REFERENCE PAGES

Ethical Decision Making IP

 

View this Ethical Dilemma to learn more about Bill and Joe’s relationship. 

Joe has scheduled a meeting with his management team for next week to talk about the Peninsula Hotel chain contract. He hopes that he will be able to work with them to draft a contract favorable to Peninsula that will ensure its renewal for another year. He is reasonably sure that the contract renewal will ensure his continued success and employment with UWEAR. Bill invites Joe and his family to join them on his yacht for the weekend.

Joe is relieved to get the invitation from Bill because their relationship has been strained lately due to the contract negotiations.

Joe must decide how he will answer Bill’s invitation to join him and his family on their yacht.

Using ethical principles that you have learned thus far to justify your answers, please respond to the following questions in a paper of 500–700 words:  

  • What are some reasons why Joe should turn down the invitation?
  • What are some reasons why Joe could accept the invitation?
  • Does Joe’s relationship with Bill meet the definition of a conflict of interest?

 Recommend a strategy (6 pages) for improving a total rewards package for FFH or a selected organization in order to be competitive with other employers and to positively support recruitment and retention initiatives.

Demonstration of Proficiency

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the course competencies through the following assessment scoring guide criteria:

  • Competency 1: Apply legal standards in human resource management decision making and practice.
    • Explain what legal compliance requirements FFH (or a selected organization) should consider when creating a total rewards package.
  • Competency 2: Use data to support human resource management decision making.
    • Analyze components to include in FFH’s (or a selected organization’s) total rewards package.
    • Compare the salary and benefits components with adding an incentive compensation package.

  • Competency 5: Communicate human resource management needs, opportunities, and strategies with multiple stakeholders.
    • Communicate in a manner that is professional and consistent with expectations for human resource professionals and master’s-level programs.

Preparation

Search websites with pertinent data sources, including the following, for general salary information. Research other career-focused websites for benefits information.

Instructions

FFH is concerned about the competitiveness of its total rewards package. Most store managers and supervisors have been with FFH for over 20 years and have been very satisfied with their compensation. However, while interviewing prospective candidates, the company is getting indications that their total rewards package is not equal to their competitors. You are being tasked with recommending a strategy for improving FFH’s or a selected organization’s total rewards package in order to increase competitiveness with other businesses and to positively support recruitment and retention initiatives. 

Include the following in your total rewards package strategy for HR management and organizational leaders:

  • Analyze components to include in the total rewards package. This analysis should include salary and benefits as well as areas beyond compensation. Should FFH or your selected organization lead the market, pay at market rates, or lag behind the market? To move toward the broader definition of total rewards, what two other components should be considered?   
  • Compare the salary and benefits components with adding an incentive compensation package. Is there a benefit to including a bonus, commission, or profit sharing as part of FFH’s or a selected organization’s total rewards package?
  • Explain what legal compliance requirements FFH or a selected organization should consider when creating a total rewards package.
  • Recommend a total rewards package strategy for FFH’s or a selected organization’s management. Do cultural and inclusive practices that support a diverse workforce impact your recommendations? Justify the components you are including.  

Your total rewards package strategy 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: Six pages, in addition to the references list.
  • Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point.
