Part I: Human Resource Management Functions

Students will identify the core Human Resource Management functions, such as Recruiting/Staffing, Learning/Development, Compensation/Benefits, Employee/Labor Relations, etc. (There may be some variations on the titles, as seen in the previous sentence, but the core functions should be fairly consistent across your learning materials in HRM.) For each of these functions, you will write: A brief summary of the function and what service it provides to the organization How this function aligns with the strategic objectives of the organization Examples of how HR can measure effectiveness in each function (i.e. metrics) Key legal, regulatory, and ethical issues that are relevant for each function While there is no specific minimum page length for this portion of the assignment, a comprehensive paper will include at least one paragraph for each of the bullets above, so it is likely that you’ll need at least one full page for each major function that you identify. 8/7/2019 Writers Hub – Freelance Writing https://www.writershub.org/writer/orders/456105#instructions 4/5 Student Learning Outcomes Through this portion of the Critical Assignment, students will be able to: Describe the key functions of Human Resource Management (HRM 1.1, SLO 1.2) Evaluate the contribution of each HRM function to organizational strategy (HRM 1.1, SLO 3.3) Apply knowledge of legal and ethical requirements in the context of HRM functions and employee lifecycle stages (HRM 1.3, SLO 1.1) Use professional business writing skills to write in APA 6.0 style, with citations and References where applicable (SLO 4.1)
