...writing, business development, government contracting, and accounting. Organizations must devote time to review the processes and update them as needed from time to time. Selection of employees for wrong jobs is very costly on basis of time, money and resources (Bohlander & Snell, 2010). We will look into how my employer applies “person-job fit”, “criterion-related validity”, tests taken by different people and its evaluation, application process and the use of background check (Bohlander & Snell, 2010). Next, we will talk about appraisal process using self-evaluation, manager evaluation, clear goals set by managers, how it helps an employee grow in their career, how the appraisal helps HR make administrative decisions, types of appraisal, and provide effective criticism and how they can improve their work (Bohlander & Snell, 2010). We will also look into processes which work for HR and which need to be improved. In conclusion, I will make recommendations where the HR can improve and what steps they need to take to make the necessary changes in their current processes. Employee Selection When HR receives applications for a job opening, it is up to manager to make sure they have provided relevant information to HR, such as, education requirements, degree and/or certification requirements, job description, any...

...organizations in the health care industry. As a midlevel sales manager, part of my jobs and responsibilities are to select new members for my sales team and create a development plan to help my team succeed with the company’s new strategy. In other to accomplish these objectives, certain things have to be in their right places. For example, a job analysis has to be conducted, an outline of a workforce planning system has to instituted, and new competent team members have to be selected. A job analysis is a description of work to be done, the skills needed, and the training and experience required for various jobs (Cascio, p. 157). A job description can be referred to as an overall written summary of task requirements, while overall written summary of worker requirements is called job specification. The result of the process of job analysis is a job description and a job specification (Cascio, p.158). In order to effectively conduct a job analysis, I need to identify the analysis method (s) that is appropriate, so as to achieve and attain the Interclean’s short and long term goals. These analysis methods are: Job Performance, Observation, Interviews, Critical Incidents, and Structured Questionnaires. Sound HR management practice dictates that thorough job analysis always is done, for they provide a deeper understanding of the behavioral requirements of jobs. This in turn, creates a solid basis on which to make job-related employment decisions (Cascio, p.159). Since InterClean provides...

...What are the main factors that multinational enterprises will usually take into account in the selection process for high caliber employees on international assignments? As international assignments are always costly to multinational enterprises and they have to provide training and allowances for the expatriates, they have to select expatriates carefully to avoid international assignment failure. In order to select the suitable candidates and have a successful performance in the international assignment, the multinational enterprises would consider the technical abilities and managerial skills, cross-cultural suitability, family requirements, country requirements and situational factors in the selection decision. The selection criteria include technical abilities and managerial skills as the expatriates are going to work abroad, the system, political, legal structures may be different and the headquarters’ technical expertise cannot provide advises on the matters related to the job often. Therefore, the expatriates must be experiential, technical and with good managerial skills to adapt into the new working environment. Besides, the expatriates may work in a place/country with totally different culture and the cultural environment is important to determine successful performance so the cross-cultural suitability is also one of the selection criteria. The expatriates require cross-cultural abilities such as cultural empathy, adaptability, diplomacy, positive attitude...

...affect a company in many ways, and it can even negatively impact its greatest asset, or its brand. False Positive Selection Errors Are Costly to an Organization When applicants are successful in the selection process and then fail on the job, false positive errors have occurred (Gatewood et. Al., 2011, p. 212). According to Keller (2008), of all the attitudes consumers can have towards a brand, their attitudes towards quality as well as customer value and satisfaction are of upmost importance (p. 68). Through false positive errors, a hospital can assemble a team of mediocre surgeons who may fail to consistently perform surgeries successfully. Surgery failures would most likely result in legal costs. However, even worse, they may also result in a decrease in brand quality and credibility in the minds of consumers. Individuals who are not a good fit for a job or company may also experience job dissatisfaction which has been known to negatively affect levels of productivity and organizational citizenship behaviors (Cummings & Worley, 2009, p. 85). In addition, false positive errors have been known to be linked to increased turnover, increased absenteeism, and more work-related accidents (U.S. Office of Personnel Management, n.d.). False Negative Selection Errors Are Costly to an Organization When applicants who would have been successful on the job are rejected, false negative errors have occurred (Gatewood, et al., 2011, p. 212).

...Describe the steps in the selection process at Zappos. Does this seem like a complete selection process? If not, what steps would you add? Step 1.Job is posted on Zappos Company website Step 2 Candidates apply (usually thousands) for the job and are also prompted to read the company’s values first. Step 3. Zappos reviews all applications and selects candidates for a phone interview Step 4. After the phone interview Zappos select the candidates whose skills and experience meet the requirement and about half of the candidates are then invited for a second in person interview. Step 5. This step is one that the candidate is not aware of but they are picked up by a company driver, who takes them on a short tour. During this time the applicant’s interactions with the driver is then reported to Zappos prior to the next step. This is the one step I don’t agree with because if the driver is feeling a little biased he could potentially ruin the opportunity for the applicant. Step 6. If the candidate impresses the driver and shows humility then they are interviewed and evaluated for their values and understanding of the Company’s values and their attention to detail by reading a newspaper and pointing out the not so obvious headline. Step 7. The final candidates are invited to lunch and observed on how they interact with others. This is very important for Zappos customer service image. Step 8. If the applicant is lucky enough he will receive an offer (usually one tenth of the applicants...

...Decisions of Uncertainty Introduction The Decision What is the probability of hiring a qualified employee upon selecting one from 52 applicants 26 are male and 26 are female? Probability Concepts The probability of the event –hiring a qualified male employee—is the proportion of times the company would expect to obtain a qualified male employee over the long run if the HR managers selected applicants many times. I will refer to each repetition of the situation – in this case the selection of a qualified male future employee—as a sampling experiment. The probability of the event is the proportion of times we would expect the event to occur in an infinitely long series of identical sampling experiments. The Outcome In this case, the probability of selecting a qualified male employee is 0 .50 or 50%. I arrived at this conclusion by using the knowledge that there are 52 applicants who areapplying for the open position, 26 are female and 26 are male. If the company assume that each of the 52 possibilities is equally likely, it is reasonable to expect that the company would select a male applicant that is qualified for the open position 0.50 of the time of a period of time ( 26/52 = ½ = 0.50 ). This illustrates the basic rule for obtaining probabilities in situations in which each of the possible outcomes is equally likely, the probability of the occurrence of an event is equal to the proportion of the possible outcomes characterized by the event. In the case of...

...risks due to potential loss of funding” (Wager, Lee, & Glaser, 2009, para. 9). Implementing a new software system will benefit the Mobile Mammography Van greatly. This paper is intended to identify the process for selecting and acquiring an information system, explain how the organizations goals drive the selection process, and identify the roles each organization’s stakeholders play in the selection process. Selecting and Acquiring an Information System When an organization is selecting and acquiring a new information system there is a great deal of planning and steps they must take to implement the system properly. The first step is to establish a project steering committee. “This committee’s primary function is to plan, organize, coordinate, and manage all aspects of the acquisition process” (Wager, et. al., 2009, pg. 150). After the committee has been formed the project goals should be outlines along with the scope of the project and committee. Many questions will need to be discussed during this step. For example, the committee will need to determine the methods, processes, communication techniques, resources, and type of system that will be used through the selection and acquisition process. Once project goals and the scope of the project are defined the next step is to screen the marketplace and review vendor profiles. “Concurrently with the...
