Module 3 – Case
Competencies in HR
Case Assignment
(Signature Assignment: Oral Communications, Emphasized Level)
In this assignment, you are in the role of an HR consultant. There is a critical deliverable that your client’s CEO expects from you:
This organization’s CEO would like you to convince his staff that his organization needs to begin the process of changing from being a traditional “1980s-style” employer, to an “employer of the future.” But he really doesn’t know what that means.
Prepare and deliver a persuasive, 10- to 12-minute audio-visual presentation to be given to the top management staff of a cotton-ball manufacturer that has 150 regular, full-time employees in one location.
Some of the top staff is adamantly opposed to outsourcing any work and also opposed to hiring temporary employees. They have not heard of the competency approach. Make recommendations based on what you have learned in your research and MSHRM program. You may need to convince key staff members to change their minds and take steps into the future, but in order to be successful you will need to be enlightening and persuasive.
Your submission should be a PowerPoint slide presentation with voiceover using the “Record Narration” feature.
The presentation should include all relevant information, including data analyses (charts, graphs), decision criteria, changes needed, and so forth.
Include at least
4 valid sources to strengthen the discussion.
Upload your assignment by the module due date.
Assignment Expectations
Address all aspects of the assignment.
Your assignment should demonstrate critical thinking and analysis of the relevant issues and HRM actions, drawing upon the required background readings and any relevant sources from your prior courses and your own research. Limit your browser search and focus instead on the Trident Online Library for sources.
Prepare an audio-visual presentation that is as professionally prepared as possible. Proofread carefully for grammar, spelling, and word-usage errors.
Oral Communications Emphasis
Looking back at HRM520 SLP 1, and HRM522 SLP 4, you should recall attention given to building oral communications skills. In both assignments you were given the opportunity to participate in speech preparations—first by preparing a speech write-up and then a slide presentation.
Now in this final segment related to oral communications, you are asked to add an audio component that is accompanied with visuals.
These three assignments work together to enhance your oral communications preparation and delivery skills.
The grading rubric has been developed to measure student success in meeting the HRM599 Case 3 expectations related to oral communications. Rubrics for the other two courses are included in their respective oral communications assignments.
Your submission will be assessed on the criteria found in the grading rubric for this assignment:
· Organizational Pattern
· Language Choices
· Delivery Techniques
· Supporting Materials
· Central Message
