Discussion#4 Issues and Practices in Human Resource Management

Week 4 Discussion:  Employee Relations, Communication, Health, Safety, & Security

• After reading the materials in Week 4, go to: http://nucor.com/
  • Be sure and set your pop-up blocker to accept this site.
  • Read this web page, as follows. It is not that long or time-consuming; I think you will find it enlightening.
  • Go through these links across the top, and read the links on each one, as described, below:
• Overview
• Our Story to read the Mission and Chapters 1 through 5
• Our responsibility, with 3 links
• Investor relations, information posted and other links
• Governance, information and other links
• Products & Locations, also with several links
• Career Center, with 9 links, on the left
• Voice of our Industry
• Now, go to OSHA's VPP program: https://www.osha.gov/dcsp/vpp/index.html and read the information about the Voluntary Protection Program.

Based on what you have read, compare and contrast the information: 

• What NUCOR information jumped out at you?  
• Do you see any kinks in its armor?  Are there any issues that concern you?
• How does NUCOR's employee safety, health, & wellness programs support for the organization's strategy, corporate values, and organizational culture?
• What possible HR measurements/metrics can you identify in the Safety program?

 RESEARCH:

• Any time we are using a “.com” web page, it is prudent to check other sources to insure we are getting the whole picture.
• Cite and reference all resources.
