Category: Human Resource Management

Good afternoon,

I’m currently enrolled in Strayer University, Managing Organizational Change (HRM560) course. Attached you will find instructions and rubric of Assignment 2. I have also attached Assignment 1 that I did last week showing the company that we have taken interest in. Also, attached is the same Assignment 2 from a great friend of mines that took the same class that we could go by without using the same wording as SafeAssign will pick up. However, we could use the references and any other references that you might want to include. I will need to turn this assignment in by Saturday, February 1, 2020. Really hoping that you can assist as I will be posting 3 other assignments after this one. Thank you.

Daniel

Assignment Details

This assignment will help you to gain a better understanding of how organizations plan out their staffing plans. It is important that organizations have a plan in place to address how they will create and maintain their workforce. This is a critical first step in recruiting and retaining the best talent.

• Your current workplace
• A company that you are familiar with in your local market

You will be researching the key areas that an organization can employ in the recruitment and retention of talent. The following information is to be included in your presentation:

• Does the organization seek to fill positions by placing priority on finding a person who is best-suited for the job (person/job), or does it place priority on seeking out individuals who are a good fit for the organization (person/organization)?
  • If you were in a decision-making capacity, what recommendations would you make to the organization based on the chosen priority?
• Does the organization seek out talent on the basis of general competencies or on job-specific knowledge and technical skills?
  • What is the benefit of the organizations chosen method? What are the drawbacks?
• Does the organization seek candidates with exceptional or acceptable workforce quality?
• Does the organization seek to implement an active or passive diversity plan when searching for talent?
  • Why is diversity an important consideration in the planning phase?

Your presentation should be 810 slides. The presentation should be professionally formatted and free of grammar and spelling errors. Each slide should include the following:

• Detailed Speaker Notes with a minimum of 150200 words
• Graphics to highlight the main points

Hypothesize two (2) ways todays healthcare informatics can improve health care decision-making and the quality of healthcare delivery.
