Complete this assessment in three parts. For Parts 1 and 2, submit a 2- to 3-page paper that includes both parts. For Part 3, submit a 10- to 12-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation.

Part 1: Employee Relations
  1. Use the Capella University Library to research the relationship between employee relations and organizational mission, vision, values, and culture.
    • Explain how an organization's mission, vision, values, and culture influence its relationships with its employees.
    • Support your position with at least one recent article (not more than three years old) from a trade magazine, professional magazine, or journal.
  2. Select two of the internal HR customer groups from the media piece Types of Internal Human Resources Customers TYPES OF INTERNAL HUMAN RESOURCES CUSTOMERS.docx   and answer the following questions. Provide support for your answers from relevant and credible sources.
    • What are some of the specific employee relations issues a member of each group might bring to HR?
    • How would HR, as a strategic employee relations partner, respond to these issues?
    • How would HR, as an enforcer, respond to these issues?
Part 2: Policy Issues
  1. Use the Capella University Library to locate one recent article (not more than three years old) about a situation involving one of the following policy issues. The article may be taken from a newspaper, professional magazine or journal, or popular press magazine.
    • Workplace romance.
    • Dress codes (may be about tattoos, piercing, or attire).

    • State one productive and realistic goal for addressing the issue with an employee who is not in compliance with the policy.
    • Explain how your assumptions, judgments, and beliefs (and those of the person or people who brought the issue to your attention) might influence your approach to the conversation.
    • Explain how you would you handle the situation if the conversation with the employee does not go well or if the employee does not seem to take the situation seriously.
Part 3: Regulatory Issues
  1. Use the Capella University Library and the Internet to identify and research an HR regulatory issue.
  2. Create an effective, professional presentation of the issue to managers in your organization, or in an organization of your choice.
    • Create 10–12 slides, using Microsoft PowerPoint, to support your presentation.
      • Important: The effectiveness of any professional presentation depends on your ability to communicate effectively with your audience; therefore, create slides that support and enhance your presentation. Be sure to use the speaker notes section of each slide for information and details that are not presented on the slides. Only the main topic, concept, or point of any subject should be shown on the slide so that your audience is not reading the presentation from the slide but must listen to you throughout. This is accomplished through the purposeful use of speaker's notes.
    • Explain the employment law and its main requirements.
    • Analyze the potential impact this issue could have on employee relations, engagement, and retention.
    • Organize your research data and information in a coherent manner to support your position and influence others.
      • Note: Because you will submit just your slide deck for this assessment and will not actually deliver the presentation, ensure that all applicable information is contained within your slide deck in either the visual portion of the slides or in the associated speaker notes.
  3. Ensure that your slide deck includes the following slides:
    • Title slide.
    • Introduction slide.
    • Conclusion slide.
    • References slide.

TYPES OF INTERNAL HUMAN RESOURCES CUSTOMERS EMPLOYEE Needs and Required Resources Employees will inquire about health care insurance group options, life insurance and retirement benefits. Employees request help with other programs such as tuition assistance and referrals to employee assistance resources. Expectations and Desires Employees expect fair and just advocacy in situations such as sexual harassment, racial and gender discriminating and other forms of mistreatment. Employees expect support in opportunities and advancement, which are not always within the domain of HR to approve. SUPERVISOR Needs and Required Resources Supervisors will often need guidance and support to respond to both conduct and performance problems that will challenge the best supervisors. Supervisors will seek HR support and advice on employee training, both in-house and external, to address new skill sets required in the evolving environments of work. Expectations and Desires Supervisors often expect a broader spectrum of services from the HR office or department that can be provided. Even the largest HR organizations do not have the resources to meet the enormous number of possible employee-oriented issues that arise on a day-to-day basis. Supervisors often desire to pass employee problems to HR without their personal involvement in remedying the problem. MANAGER Needs and Required Resources Of all leaders in the organization, managers as a group are more likely to interact with the HR department most frequently. The process of hiring a new employees demands that the manager work with HR in a strong and defined partnership. Managers come to HR often not really knowing what is required to do the work and who is best able to do it. This demands that HR professionals be deeply engaged and guide managers with great patience and at the same time provide technical guidance on hiring guidelines and advice on such areas as interviewing and actual selection. Expectations and Desires Managers expect things to happen quickly regarding hiring, separation and even retirements. Managers also expect that the human resources organization to move through the hiring process in days instead of the weeks or months needed for an effective and successful hiring process. They can put pressure on HR and in doing so compromise the process which will sometimes fall short of everyone's expectations. For this reason, HR leaders need to be lifelong learners and be able to guide managers in the complexities of our discipline. EXECUTIVE Needs and Required Resources Executives have a need for high-level information. The challenge is that they do not know exactly what they need or how it should be presented. Our job is help them describe the nature of the high-level information they need and at the same time craft formats in which the information can be presented. Executives will need decision support systems that can support their situation driven scenarios. Selecting and procuring these decision support systems (DSS) is the work of the HR professional. What we do in this area of responsibility will drive the future of the organization's HR posture and its ability to respond to the ever-changing environment of business. Expectations and Desires Executives expect us as HR professionals to be experts in our field. They also expect us to be well versed in the operational aspects of what we do (attracting, developing, and retraining organizational members) and in the more sophisticated strategic areas of HR. These areas will affect both the present and most importantly the future of the organization. Executives will expect us to know and understand the organization's competition for the best talent and how to attract and retain it over time. This requires us to stay informed on the newest issues, ideas and trends.
