Efficacy of the Human Resource Department
Efficacy of the Human Resource Department When large companies get larger, it sometimes raises unexpected issues. When that growth takes place by acquisition and merger, the consequences can be historic, or historically funny. Let’s say you work for Company X, a Fortune 500 company with sales of $450 million a year and 20,000 employees. In the space of less than a year, through a series of interesting events, your company acquires Company Y ($110 million in sales, 8,000 employees), Company Z ($150 million in sales, 4,000 employees) and Company B ($450 million in sales, 17,000 employees). So now you have a company with $1.16 billion in sales and 49,000 employees. It operates world-wide, in all kinds of product and service markets. All HR functions are run separately, but that is going to change. A new Corporate Vice President of Human Resources has been hired (formerly a consultant to Company B). He has convinced the Board of Directors that the Company should start to create standard corporate approaches to the various HR functions. Like most Boards, the Board here is concerned with spending money, so they decide to move the whole company to one salary structure. Currently, there are 17 distinct compensation systems among the four divisions, supported by what seems to be a million different job analysis programs. Think about how you are going to get that down to one job analysis process to set up one salary structure encompassing all 49,000 employees located everywhere from Miami to Timbuktu. Most organizations need a professional HR department that seeks the best for both the employees and management. This is a particularly thorny issue for organizations — in part, because most organizations follow a hierarchical structure. Acting as an “intermediary” requires that the HR department have the ability to act outside the scope of where it may fit in the hierarchy. Based on what we have covered so far in this course and information you have from experience and other coursework, I would like to explore this topic in more depth. What does an organization need to do to ensure an effective HR department? What can the HR department do to ensure its effectiveness? And what role do employees play in helping to achieve this goal? Be sure to support your responses with appropriate material from references.

Effectiveness in Human Resources-
Effectiveness in Human Resources What does an organization need to do to ensure an effective HR department? In order to run an effective human resources department, you must devise a strategy for achieving key human resources needs to include, employee recruitment and retention, motivation, development and engagement. What can the HR department do to ensure its effectiveness? Ensured effectiveness can be achieved by using the strategic management process. Strategic planning is an effective method of determining an organization or department’s course over the next year, as well as setting measurements of success. This process is useful whether your human resources department consists of one person or 20. What role do employees play in helping to achieve this goal? Management can use human resources’ highly visible status in the organization to their advantage by modeling change for others. By management serving as a role model, they will help to obtain buy-in from other employees by demonstrating real commitment to the change process, guide others concerning the right way to act and help employees overcome their own resistance to change. If management does not set the example, other employees can hardly be expected to follow suit. References Dessler, G. (2013) Human Resource Management (13th Ed) Webster, A.

morality
Question 1 4 / 4 pts (TCO 1) Which of the following statements is true? If an action is legal, then it is moral. In order to determine whether an action is moral, one must look to the law. Morality is not necessarily the same as legality. An action cannot be moral and legal at the same time. Question 2 4 / 4 pts (TCO 2) Ethical relativism states which of the following? That the outcome of the actions determine whether or not they are moral. Actions are universally right or wrong. The morality of an action is related to the consequences. Moral values are determined by individuals or cultures. None of the above. Question 3 0 / 4 pts (TCOs 1 & 2) Which statement is an accurate reflection of utilitarianism? Utilitarianism is based on a belief that the individual is the most important. Utilitarianism requires one to examine the greatest balance of good over bad for everyone affected by an action. Utilitarianism and egoism are both concerned with only the individual. None of the above. Question 4 4 / 4 pts (TCO 1 & 2) If the result of an action is right, then a consequentialist would believe that the action was moral. that the action was immoral. that the individual can decide if the action was moral or immoral. that the action must be performed again. Question 5 0 / 4 pts (TCO 1 & 2) Nonconsequentialists believe that whether the action is right or wrong is determined by more than the results. According to them, what else can be examined to determine the morality of the action? The character of the act itself. Only the harmful effects of the act. The feelings of the individuals involved who were affected by the act. Only the benefits of the act. The overall results of the act. The short-term consequences of the act only. Question 6 5 / 10 pts (TCO 1 & 2) Cynthia has really been going through extreme financial difficulties. She is a single mother of three and lost her job about six months ago. She received an eviction notice last week stating that she had 30 days to pay her back rent or else she would be evicted. She has been desperately searching for a job, but has been unsuccessful. One day, Cynthia was talking with her friend, Janet, who works at a big-time Fortune 500 corporation. Janet just so happened to mention during the conversation that the vice president at her job was looking for an administrative assistant. Cynthia immediately became excited and asked Janet for her help in getting the position. Janet told Cynthia that the job is very stressful and requires a certain level of organization and skill. Janet then told her that she did not believe that Cynthia was qualified for the job. Cynthia did not care and begged her to let her use Janet as a reference. Janet refused. Cynthia applied for the position anyway and forged a reference letter signed by Janet. Although she was nervous about doing it, she had three children to support, no income, and she was desperate. She knew that if she had Janet as a reference, she would definitely get the position. Janet was out of the country on business-related matters for three weeks. Cynthia used that time to apply for the position and schedule an interview. Based almost entirely upon “Janet’s” glowing recommendation, Cynthia got the job. She was able to stop the upcoming eviction. Select a moral theory and explain whether Cynthia’s actions were right or wrong. In choosing a theory, be sure to include a definition and adequate information to support your answer.

Thereafter, however, he proceeded to dismantle the legal structure of the Weimar system and replace it with an inflexible dictatorship that revolved around his person.The Third Reich was organized as a leader-state, in which Hitler the Fuhrer (leader) embodied and expressed the real will of the German people, commanded the supreme loyalty of the nation, and had unlimited authority.
