Unit I Assignment HR Mission Statement By now, from your
textbook readings and lesson, you should have a firm grasp on the different
types of human resource values and strategies that are commonplace in the
workforce. From this information: 1. Create and briefly describe a fictional
large company of your choice. This is your company and it should preferably be
in your current or desired future industry. This company and the HR mission
statement you create will be used as a foundation for future assignments in
this course. 2. Compare and contrast the below sample mission statements.
Evaluate them for overall effectiveness. 3. Use your analysis to write your own
HR mission statement for your fictional company. Consider the following
questions when evaluating and formulating your mission statement: · Why does your HR function
exist? What do you want for your customers and how can HR provide that? · Who are your customers
and what can you do for them that will enrich their lives and contribute to
their success, both present and future? ·
What image of your function do you want to convey internally and externally?
Customers, employees and the public will all have perceptions of your company.
How will HR help create the desired picture? BHR 3352, Human Resource
Management 3 · What
level of service do you provide to employees and the company? Don't be vague;
define what will make your service extraordinary. · What kind of relationships will
your HR function maintain with customers? Every company function is in
partnership with its customers. When you succeed, so do they. · What underlying
philosophies or values guided your responses to the previous questions? Some
mission statements choose to list these separately (as core values or vision).
Writing them down clarifies the "why" behind your mission. · Does your HR function’s
mission statement describe and support what your company will do and why it
will do it (the company’s core values)? Sample 1: Human Resources Mission
Statement Our mission is to treat each person as a valued customer while
contributing positively to the bottom line of [Company Name] through
comprehensive programming that displays a thorough understanding of all aspects
of the human resources profession, including proactive involvement in areas of
legal compliance and service that displays an enthusiastic interest in the

customer service delivered with a sense of warmth, friendliness, individual
pride, and company spirit. To Our Employees We are committed to provide our
employees a stable work environment with equal opportunity for learning and
personal growth. Creativity and innovation are encouraged for improving the
effectiveness of [the company]. Above all, employees will be provided the same
concern, respect, and caring attitude within the organization that they are
expected to share externally with every [company] customer. Sample 3: Human
Resources Mission Statement It is the mission of the human resources department
to provide the following quality services to the employees of [Company Name]: · recruitment of qualified
individuals; ·
retention of valuable employees; ·
training, development, and education to promote individual success and increase
overall value to the organization; ·
a safe and healthful working environment; ·
inspiration and encouragement for a high level of employee morale through

Unit VI Assignment There are several standardized training events
in large organizations that are required annually or biannually. One of these
is often sexual harassment. For this assignment, write a training plan for all
employees in your firm to educate and develop their awareness of sexual
harassment and understanding of legal and organizational policies. Be sure to
include training aspects of planning, design, implementation, and evaluation.
This plan should be in narrative form with a minimum requirement of 500 words.

be trained at once? If not, who should be trained first? What are the
anticipated outcomes or terminal learning objectives of the training? · Design: In what format
should the training be given, and why? What modalities will be used for
employees on multiple shifts or in multiple locations? What are the core
elements of the training that will align with the learning objectives? · Implementation: Who will
lead the training, and how will it be implemented? Will you be training for
knowledge or behavior change? How will you conduct the actual training to
account for knowledge and/or behavioral change? ·
Evaluation: How will you know if the training was successful? What measures
will you use to know if employees 1) learned from the training, 2) behaved
differently after the training, and 3) the training has a bottom line impact to
the firm? Any sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced;
paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations in APA format.
Unit VII Assignment Safety Policies Recall your chosen firm
and industry you have been using throughout the course. For this assignment,
you will identify the top three major safety and health issues in your firm,
and write a policy on each, consistent with Occupational Safety & Health
Administration (OSHA) standards. There is a minimum requirement of 300 words
for each of the three job policies. Each of the five domains of OSHA must be
considered when writing these three policies: 1. Hazard communication: How will
you notify people of potentially dangerous or unhealthy work conditions? 2.
Blood-borne pathogens: How will you protect employees from blood-borne
pathogens such as AIDS? BHR 3352, Human Resource Management 6 3. Personal
protective equipment (PPE): What equipment or tools will your employees in this
job require to work safely? 4. Cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs): How will you
prevent CTDs that come from repetitive movement (e.g., carpel tunnel syndrome)?
5. Work assignments: How will you handle potentially dangerous work
assignments, especially to protect unborn babies? NOTE: This is a three-part
assignment. All three of the policies (300 words each) you write should go on
one document. This one document is what will be uploaded to Blackboard. Any
sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and
quoted material must have accompanying citations in APA format.
Unit VIII Assignment Compensation Purpose and Strategy
Document The purpose of this assignment is to choose a compensation philosophy
that is appropriate for your chosen firm and articulate a rationale for this
selection. There are two aspects to this assignment. First, describe the risks
and benefits with leading, meeting, and lagging the market in overall
compensation and benefits. Next, choose the appropriate strategy (lead, meet,
or lag) for your firm, and provide rationale about why this is appropriate.
There is a minimum requirement of 500 words for the compensation purpose and
strategy document. Consider some of the following factors in your assignment:
1. Payroll expenses are usually the highest expense at most firms. If you lead
the market, this expense can be taxing. 2. If you are pursuing top talent in
human capital rich industries (e.g., software engineering), lagging the market
may keep you from competing for market share against your competitors. 3. If
you meet the market, paying average will generally not attract top talent, and
in addition, you will not have the labor-cost savings of a lag-the-market
strategy. Any sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced;
paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations in APA format.
