Questions and Topics We Can Help You To Answer:
Paper Instructions:
Please include Human Resources in the paper. I have attached the draft that the professor chopped.
Your paper is supposed to include about 75 percent on human resources and 25 percent on general management issues. I recommend you add some more discussion on human resources. If you comply with the comments below in Item 3, you should be able to do that.
Some of your paper seems to have been taken from other sources. When you use someone else’s words, you are supposed to use quotation marks.
On March 21, I published a memo that provided a list of human resources topics that your paper is supposed to address. The content of that memo is below. You have provided a discussion of some ACF human resources tasks, but you have not addressed several HR tasks that are on the list. I want you to explain which of these activities are handled by the ACF Human Resources Department and how they handle them.
Subject: Typical HR Tasks
What topics are included in the work of HR Departments? Based on the Greeting Letter, Syllabus, and Example Materials for Research Papers, you will be writing a Word Outline and Sentence Outline during the first half of the course, even though we will not finish the textbook until week 7 or 8. That means you may not know until late in the course about some of the HR topics that must be covered in your research project. To fill in this gap, I am providing a list of functions that are usually handled by an organization’s HR Department. Not all HR Departments handle all of these functions, but most HR Departments handle most of these functions. When you are doing research on the organization you have selected, you should try to learn how they handle each of the following functions, and you should try to discuss each of these topics in your Word Outline, Sentence Outline, Draft Full Text, and final Report. For example, in your Final Report, you might say, “Recruiting. The XYZ Charity organization needs to recruit an average of five persons per year. The methods they use to accomplish that Include: social media advertising, referrals from current employees, and letters sent to local colleges that operate human services programs.” Here is the list of HR tasks.
Recruiting (attracting employees and hiring them)
Termination of employees (firing for cause, and lay-off when the work load has shrunk or revenues have dropped)
Retention (maintaining the workforce)
Employee records
Compensation (salary, bonus, stock options, and other cash items)
Payroll
Benefits (vacation, sick pay, life insurance, health care insurance, pensions and retirement plans, wellness programs, food service and other non-cash items)
Training and development
Health and safety
Security
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission concerns (diversity)
Compliance with employment laws
Labor relations (if the organization is unionized)
Strategic planning
Policies and procedures (employee handbook)
Performance appraisal and performance management
