Posted on | by

 

Green Branch Coffee recently experienced an ethical violation because some unscrupulous employees leaked customer information on a social media Web site. The Director of Human Resources at Green Branch Coffee has asked you to prepare an executive report that reviews the role of ethics in the HR profession. This report will be shared with the VP of HR. You realize this is an important project and begin by researching the Society for Human Resource Management’s (SHRM) Code of Ethics for HR professionals.

Review the SHRM Code of Ethics, and prepare a 500-word executive report that answers the following questions:

Describe the professional responsibilities of HR professionals.
What does it mean to include fairness and justice in the HR profession?
How should HR professionals appropriately manage an organization’s information?

This Minor Project is an introduction to the HRM’s role of designing a pay structure (which will be discussed in more detail next week). For this research paper reflect and/or answer sections 3 and 4 by writing a 2-3 page paper about your findings from your selected profession:

Research that career’s compensation using Bureau of Labor Statistics, job posting sites (i.e. Indeed), and payscale sites like glassdoor.com OR payscale.com
Read Pynes pages 212-217 and reflect on any differences or distinction you found relating to “external equity” or “internal equity” from different employers, geographical labor markets, or different compensation value given by different industries, etc.
Read Pynes pages 212-217 and consider what typical compensable factors are important to look at when considering the employee equity – did you notice any of these being manifested in your search?

Both Waterfall (Predictive) and Agile(Adaptive) methdologies are built based upon core tenets. Describe one core tenet for Waterfall and one core tenet for an Agile methdology of your choice and explain why you feel it is necessary for the methdology.

Activity 2:

 

In conventional business and government megaprojects–such as hydroelectric dams, chemical-processing plants, or big-bang enterprise-resource-planning systems–the standard approach is to build something monolithic and customized. Such projects must be 100% complete before they can deliver benefits: Even when it’s 95% complete, a nuclear reactor is of no use. On the basis of 30 years of research and consulting on megaprojects, the author has found two factors that play a critical role in determining success or failure: replicable modularity in design and speed in iteration. The article examines those factors by looking at well-known megaprojects, both successful ones, and cautionary tales.
