Unit 2 Transcript

Imagine that you are the human resource manager for a hospital.  Your job involves dealing with the people within the organization. In looking at HRM we can split the views of HRM into two roles.

First, we can say HRM is a staff or support function. HRM is there to provide assistance to line employees or those directly involved in producing the goods or services of the organization.

Second, HRM is a function of every manager’s job within the organization. Managers utilize the four basic functions in conjunction with the HR department with staffing, training and development, motivation, and assist in keeping employees.

HR works with managers and executive leaders and decision makers within the organization to align these functions with the organizational goals and strategies. HR has a key role in the support of strategy building, developing and maintaining a productive and talented workforce to achieve the strategic goals. In the Assignment for Unit 2, strategy comes into play as you are given a scenario to decide which employees will be laid off by the organization and those who will be kept. This is not an easy decision and various factors are to be considered.

 As a group, identify the names of two individuals you will submit for a permanent lay off by using the brief descriptions. Before doing so, you need to develop at least two criteria you will use to make your decision. Discuss other options you might suggest to meet the requirement of downsizing by two employees without resorting to layoffs and include this in your paper. Discuss and document what you will do to (1) assist the two individuals who have been let go and (2) assist the remaining three employees. You will summarize your group discussion, criteria used in making your decision and determine the two individuals including why they were chosen in a written report. (3–5 pages in length, APA formatted, Cover Page, and Bibliography)
