...Attn: Director of Human Resources Current Job Title: HR Intern Classification: Hourly Department: Human Resources Pay Grade: $25 per hour Method used to analyze the job A functional job analysis method was used to determine the appropriate combination of three essential elements: “(1) People (important interpersonal relationships on the job); (2) Data (obtaining, using, and transforming data in aid of job performance); (3) Things (physical machinery, resources and the environment)” (Belcourt, M., & McBey, K. J. (n.d.). Strategic Human Resources Planning (Fourth ed., 2010). “The Functional Job Analysis employs a series of written task statements each containing four essential elements: (1) a verb related to the task action being performed by the worker; (2) an object that refers to what is being acted on; (3) a description of equipment, tools, aids, and processes required for successful completion of the task; and (4) the outputs or results of task completion” (Belcourt, M., & McBey, K. J. (n.d.). Strategic Human Resources Planning (Fourth ed., 2010). Reason for Method Used The reason I chose the Functional Job Analysis as my method was due to its close ties with the USA government run DOT and Canada’s NOC. These close ties allowed for a secondary review of job descriptions already done in order to evaluate the job level that best suited my role. The main quality that attracted me to the Functional Job analysis was the simplicity of the implementation that...

...skills and knowledge needed for working with and leading others, through understanding the importance of recruiting the right people for the job. So what is this thing of working with others to create something new? To create something which none of us could create on our own? To create something which is often more than the sum of the parts? Surely that’s what organizations do. But somehow I do not see many advertisements for leader of function, general leader, senior leader, corporate leader, leading director, chief executive leader, shop floor leader, finance leader. I do see advertisements for head of function, general manager, senior manager, corporate executive, managing director, chief executive officer, shop floor supervisor, and finance manager. Is it purely semantics? Just words, or is there a meaning behind the words? I think that there is meaning. And I think that there is a different meaning to leader and manager. And that there is a need for different types of leadership in different types of change. This means that there are actually fewer common threads in this chapter. So unlike other chapters, this assignment will separately address the different ways of leading the four main types of change. The aim of this unit is to develop the skills and knowledge needed for working with and leading others, through understanding the importance of recruiting the right people for the job. What is the difference between management and leadership? It is a question that has...

...Case Study-1 Jack Nelson’s Problem Chapter-1 Introduction to Human Resource Management Page: 1 * The case is all about the necessity & functions of HR unit in a local bank. In this bank Jack Nelson is a member of board of director and Ruth Jonson is an excellent employee. As Mr. Nelson was very much curious about how Jonson operate her machine, she briefly gave an idea about it. Speaking with the in-charged supervisor of a branch of this bank Nelson found that something was wrong inside the branches. But unfortunately it was not known to Jonson. Jonson found out the main problem and it was high employee turnover. In this bank selection time of employee is very short and at the same time the new employer quit their job in a very short time. All branch supervisors hire their new employees without communicating with the home office or other branches. During the time of development of opening, the supervisors tried to find a suitable employee to replace the worker who had quit. After visiting the 22 branches, the finding is that problems are similar mostly. Nelson wondered about the movements that he should take and the home office steps. The more he thought about the matter, the more perplexed he became. The problem is as much as complex that he couldn’t put his finger on that problem and he did not know the actual place whether to report his findings to the president. * Most of the experts believe that there are five basic functions that all managers perform...

...Managing Human Resources What Do I Need to Know? Introduction After reading this chapter, you should be able to: Imagine trying to run a business where you have to replace every employee two or three times a year. If that sounds chaotic, you can sympathize with the challenge facing Rob Cecere when he took the job of regional manager for a group of eight Domino’s Pizza stores in New Jersey. In Cecere’s region, store managers were quitting after a few months on the job. The lack of consistent leadership at the store level contributed to employee turnover rates of up to 300 percent a year (one position being filled three times in a year). In other words, new managers constantly had to find, hire, and train new workers—and rely on inexperienced people to keep customers happy. Not surprisingly, the stores in Cecere’s new territory were failing to meet sales goals. Cecere made it his top goal to build a stable team of store managers who in turn could retain employees at their stores. He held a meeting with the managers and talked about improving sales, explaining, “It’s got to start with people”: hiring good people and keeping them on board. He continues to coach his managers, helping them build sales and motivate their workers through training and patience. In doing so, he has the backing of Domino’s headquarters. When the company’s current chief executive, David Brandon, took charge, he was shocked by the high employee turnover (then 158 percent...
