HR Strategic initiatives Discussion
Overview: For this milestone, you will analyze HR strategic initiatives of employee and labor relations that positively impact organizational effectiveness. The three critical element focus on employee discipline, performance management, and employee and labor relations.
Prompt: First, read Chapters 8 and 14 in your text, the Harvard Business Review article Discipline Without Punishment – At Last, and the Grievance Procedures: What are the Steps Typically Found in a Grievance Procedure? SHRM article.
Refer to the chapter readings and module resources to support your responses to each of the three critical elements below. Carefully read and address each critical element as written, using detailed and informative analysis that conveys critical thinking. The three critical element are aligned to the organization technical competency within the HR knowledge domain.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
Employee Discipline: Analyze punitive and nonpunitive disciplinary approaches, and explain their impacts on employee relations. Performance Management: Determine the elements of an effective performance management system, and explain how well the employer’s system meets organizational needs. Employee and Labor Relations: Determine the differences between union grievance procedures and nonunion complaint processes, and describe improvements that could be made to a nonunion complaint process.
Be sure to incorporate instructor feedback on this milestone into your final submission.
Rubric Guidelines for Submission: This milestone must be submitted as a 3- to 4-page Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and oneinch margins. Use the latest edition of the APA manual for formatting and citations.
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
