Job Design

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review this week’s readings and Weekly Lecture.

For this assignment, you will create the job description using the information from the Week 2 – Assignment : Job Analysis. The job analysis is a critical step in the process for a job description to be reliable and useful. Remember, as an HR leader, you would typically have input from more than one position questionnaire to complete a job analysis.

Use the job analysis you conducted in Week 2, and determine the appropriate design for the position.

Analyze the various elements required for creating a job description for the specific position.

Create a job description that includes the information defined in the job analysis.

Provide a rationale for the chosen design.

Explain the purpose and importance of each section within the job design.

Support your reasoning with credible resources.

Please answer in a Q&A Format -Answer the above using the question and answer (Q&A) format.  The Q&A format should include the original question along with your response.

The organizational role of human resources has changed considerably over the years. At one point in time, HR provided services. Now, in many organizations, HR provides strategic advice and counsel, as well as has a place in the C-Suite. In the case of Zappos (our case study this week), HR has become like a line area of the company, or a part of the executive team, and impacts every part of the company.

For this discussion post, explain and explore how human resources can create revenue and can play a vital role in partnering with an organization to achieve its strategic objectives.

Training Needs Analysis of a Retail Company, SOURCES PROVIDED

  

Select or create an organization for the authentic assessment. In this first assignment, you will begin to develop a training needs analysis (TNA) for your chosen organization. Company is Seventh Sense, a retail CBD company that is doing badly. 

Provide information about the organization and its needs regarding the training issue:

This should include general, high level information about the company in terms of product/services, size, geography, workforce attributes, etc. The training issue is the problem or challenge (could be deficiency OR need based on a predicted change in the operation, workforce, etc.). Here this should be “high level”, focused on the organization (not specifically the individual workers yet).

Determine the group or individuals who will receive the training:

This should include information about the target audience as it will impact the training developed – including demographic information, type of work, location of work, etc.

Identify the training issue:

This is a continuation from item 1. Here you will focus more on the individual workers and/or teams.

NOTE: the training issue should NOT be that they lack training. It should be tied to a performance deficiency or need. 

Provide a training needs assessment questionnaire:

The questionnaire should provide insight into the training need/gap; therefore it should focus on the training issue itself – choose questions that provide insight to the issue. In a sense, the questionnaire helps you identify and analyze the “why” (e.g., if you are addressing a performance issue, the questionnaire would help you hone in on the real issue).

SUGGESTION: think hard about using questions that ask how the audience “feels” about something – you want to obtain the most tangible and useful information.

NOTE: you will NOT administer the questionnaire! 

Your questionnaire should be included as an appendix to your paper – inserting questions within the narrative of your paper does not suffice.

Explain how the questionnaire will be utilized and will lead to the development of training outcomes/learning objectives within your written report:

Here you will essentially validate the questions posed in your questionnaire – if you can’t do that, you should probably revisit your questions.

You will probably not have the time or resources to implement the questionnaire or compile all the organizational and training-specific information necessary to complete the TNA. (If you are able to get real data and results, great! Otherwise, be creative and fabricate results.) The goal is to understand how a TNA is done effectively and to practice completing one.

(Assignment 2 items below)

Include at least three training outcomes, based on the TNA

Identify the expected performance of the group or individuals as a result of the training

Identify performance gaps and detail how training can help close those gaps

portfolio I-I

from the portfolio I(file attached). go back and isolate 3 values that seem to “hit you in the face”—and write a full page on each of them (double-spaced, of course).  If you can’t get a full page on the value, it wasn’t much of a value!  This will be another 40% of your portfolio grade.  Then, write a full page on what you think abut each of these values.  This will be the last 20% of your portfolio grade.  You will submit them via Blackboard.

Task:  

The client legal advice will require students to provide a written advice to a hypothetical client in relation to a specific factual scenario (or scenarios) that draw on common issues that arise in practice.

Before commencing preparation for this task, it is strongly advisable for students to read the UTS Law Faculty’s Guide to Written Communicationhttp://www.uts.edu.au/sites/default/files/law-form-guide-written-communication.pdf .

Students must submit original work (student’s own work and not previously submitted for assessment) for each assessment task. 

Please see the employment and industrial law 79034 subject outline for more information on academic misconduct by students.

Step 1 – Read the Information Below

Organizational behavior is the combination of four areas of study—psychology, social psychology, sociology, and anthropology. While each of these areas involves an examination of people and their interactions, the focuses are quite different:

  • Psychology studies the mind and how people make decisions.
  • Social Psychology examines how people work in groups.
  • Sociology explores how systems work within the organization.
  • Anthropology examines how culture works within the organization.

Now, assume that you are an organizational consultant and have been asked by a new CEO to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the organization.

Step 2 – Post a Response

Respond to the following.

  • Of the four areas of study listed above, which would you focus on first?
  • Make sure to explain why you chose this area, and why it would take precedence over the other areas.
