Human Resources Strategic Planning and Measurement Task Force

 Week 1 Assignment 3: Human Resources Strategic Planning and Measurement Task Force

In organizations today, the emphasis is on performance and the contribution of a function to the success of that organization. Senior managers demand evidence of effectiveness and efficiency. They need objective ways to measure achievement and strategically plan for the future. The heart of success at BANKS Industries is the HR department’s responsibility to guide managers in their ability to screen, hire, and retain quality employees.

As part of the BANKS management team, you have been assigned to a task force that is considering how the HR department should be strategically involved as the BANKS workforce becomes more diverse and experiences expansion, possibly into more countries. As part of a preliminary discussion, you have been asked to generate a report on the following issues:

• What should be the basis of the HR department’s goals regarding their responsibilities to support management during the screening, hiring, and retention stages of employees?
• How do these goals strategically align with success for BANKS?
• How should the HR department interact with and implement these goals for management and employees?
• How will you measure whether the HR department has been successful in achieving its goals? Based on your research, what assessments can be used to determine success?

Assignment 2: Cultural Communication and Reorganization

Change is inevitable, and it seems to be even more common as the world rapidly becomes globalized. You know that BANKS Industries is about to reorganize a number of departments, and your team is likely to be affected. As you prepare for this process, you start to think about how you will handle this news and communicate with your team, especially given the diverse needs of your team members.

Using the module readings online library resources, and the Internet, research cultural communication and courtesies. Then, based on your communication strategy for handling change, prepare a case study that addresses the following:

• What challenges does change represent when considering the reactions of a diverse team? What are the barriers you might encounter?
• How will you communicate the need for change with your team, while addressing the team members’ diverse needs?
• How does a lack of consideration for differences cause communication to fail? Provide an example.

Week 7 Discussion

Theory in Action: Cognitive and Behavioral Approaches

Have you ever heard the term “positive addiction”? In general, this term is used to describe the act of replacing a negative addiction, like smoking, with a positive activity, like exercising. Both smoking and exercising can be perceived as a means to reduce stress; however the act of exercising is clearly the healthier option of the two. William Glasser, the founder of reality therapy was the first to introduce this term. Glasser believed that these positive addictions can increase the strength and motivation that people feel in their lives.

Have you ever stood on a crowded elevator and considered singing a song? Did you know that this could actually be an intervention used by a cognitive-behavioral counselor called a shame-attacking exercise? In shame-attacking exercises, clients engage in an activity that others around them might disapprove of, thus causing shame to the client. Experiencing the brief discomfort caused by these actions is thought to decrease feelings of social anxiety and self-consciousness.

For this week’s Discussion, you consider which theoretical approach most resonates with you: reality therapy or a generalized CBT approach. You then watch the media piece that translates this theory into practice. Specifically, you examine how the counselor depicted in the media used your selected theoretical approach to guide his or her interventions.

Note: When crafting your Discussion post, support your ideas by providing references to specific examples from the video. In addition, cite the video frame (e.g., 8.32 minutes) that the action or intervention occurred. You do not need to summarize the demonstration itself, as your Instructor and many of your colleagues have also viewed it. Instead, provide insight into the interventions used and major constructs of the theory.

Post by Day 3 a brief description of the video you selected and the theoretical approach used. Explain how this theory resonates with you. Then, describe the counselor’s specific interventions that would indicate his/her theoretical approach and explain how effectively the counselor demonstrated the approach. Finally, share one insight you gained from watching the counselor in the media.

Respond by Day 5 to at least two of your colleagues using one or more of the following approaches:

• Identify colleagues who selected a different theory from you. Critically appraise your colleagues’ critique of the counselor’s actions.
• Provide insight into how another CBT theory could have been used to address this client.

Week 7 Discussion

Culture and Nonverbal Communication

In everyday conversation, you probably find yourself pausing, listening, and reflecting on what the other person is saying. These naturally occurring moments of silence are arguably as important to the communication process as the spoken words are. Counseling sessions are no different—it is often an appropriate technique to sit in silence with your client(s). For example, a counselor may remain silent in order to allow a client to ponder what she or he just said or to facilitate smooth transitions between topics and a natural progression of clients’ thoughts. Silence may be used effectively in conjunction with other nonverbal skills, such as body language and eye contact, to build the therapeutic alliance. On the other hand, abrupt silences and prolonged unproductive silence can damage that alliance.

For this Discussion, review this week’s Learning Resources and consider how and when you might use silence to benefit a client.

Post by Day 4 an example of when using silence as a technique might benefit a client in a counseling session. Then, explain how you might use the technique in that particular situation. Finally, explain the degree to which you are comfortable using silence as a technique with a client.

Be sure to support your initial post of the week with specific references to the Learning Resources and the current literature.

Read a selection of your colleagues’ postings.

Respond by Day 6 to at least two of your colleagues’ postings in one or more of the following ways:

• Share an insight from having read your colleague’s posting.
• Provide an alternative way to use the technique in the situation your colleague described.
• Provide an alternative suggestion for when you might use silence in counseling.
• Suggest how a colleague’s use of silence might have a different outcome than intended.

Return to this Discussion in a few days to read the responses to your initial posting. Note what you have learned and/or any insights you have gained as a result of the comments your colleagues made.

Journal: Information/ Psychoeducation

Why is it a bad idea for counselors to give ‘advice’? What if the client asks?

This Journal entry is a type of counselor “show and tell” in which you will first identify a particular client or population and then explain how you might briefly teach them some evidence-based information relevant to their concerns that would provide depth and structure to the counseling session.

Briefly describe the specific evidence-based  information or  model that you selected to share with clients during a counseling session. Be specific about  the exact phrasing of how this would be presented.  Describe the impact that sharing this information or model might have upon the counseling session that follows. Finally explain the difference between the micro-skill of Information and value-generated advice giving.

Week 8 Discussion

Applying Family, Feminist, and Transpersonal Theories

Reflect upon two personal or professional goals you might like to achieve. If you were to visit a counselor with these goals in mind, which theoretical approach might help you to achieve them? In addition, what type of counseling style might you connect with the most?

In this Discussion you use the media, Postmodern Theories, to seek the help of three counselors. As you listen to each counselor’s theoretical approach, consider how each might be the most effective in addressing your unique goals. In addition, take note of the emotions that you feel while you virtually sit in the client’s seat.

Note: This post does not require you to share any personal information about yourself. Though you should use personal or professional goals to assist you in selecting a theoretical orientation, you may present the ideas of your posting in a more general format.

Post by Day 3 an explanation of which approach might be most effective and explain why. Then, explain how this particular approach may help a client to achieve his or her goals. Finally, explain what it felt like to sit in the client’s seat.

Respond by Day 5 to at least two of your colleagues using the following approach:

• Provide a different perspective as to why this theoretical approach might inhibit clients from reaching their goals.
