HRM 595 Week 1 Talent Acquisition, Management and Retention
Strategies
Resource: Blossoms Up! Case Study.
Seth Smith wants to create a new position in his organization and hire a
Vice-President of Operations as soon as the Board of Directors approves
recommendations made by the HR Department. This position would be a
critical and strategic high-level executive employee. Smith does not
believe there is anyone in the company that can fit the bill for this key
employee who will oversee the company’s expansion.
Smith wants to move to using technologically-competent machines in
floriculture. This technology theoretically will lead to a reduction in
labor or a hiring freeze, particularly for floriculture workers. The idea is
to end up getting more crops in the fields while lowering costs and input.
Furthermore, he needs someone who can oversee and correct operational
inefficiencies. Smith wants a highly educated business person with
3. experience in the industry who can handle all aspects of the business:
planning, purchasing, sales and fulfillment, and inventory.
Write a 700 – to 1,050-word paper that includes the following:
A job description for the position of Vice-President of Operations.
A report on the use of outside sources of candidates to include
explaining the pros and cons of informal recruiting, recruiting on the
Internet, Social Media, and what is involved in working with a recruiting
company.
A talent retention plan for five years to ensure that once a person is
hired, the person will remain loyal to the company and want to grow
with it. Include any relevant training and education anticipated that will
be required.
Analyze organizational limitations and how those will be addressed.
Include justification for each recommendation for forecasting needs,
considering corporate culture, diversity, Affirmative Action issues, and
any strategic steps that should be considered.
Format the Talent Acquisition, Management, and Retention Strategies
assignment consistent with APA guidelines, except for any template or
form you might use for the job description.
Use headings to appropriately signal the topics and keep your document
organized.
Use a minimum of three in-text citation sources within the plan and
identify them in your APA correctly formatted References page.

Susan, Andrea has advised me that compliance issues following
employment laws should be taken seriously
because failure to do so could be costly for the company. As far back as
I can recall, our company has never
given any kind of training on federal employment laws. I think it's'time
our supervisors and managers, incluqing
senior management, had some training in this area. Please identify the
most relevant employment laws we
must know in order to create an employment law compliance plan.
Please get a report to me as soon as possible
on this matter. Also, I want you to ultimately turn this information into
an Employment Laws Training video
that you will present to the Board of Directors.
Thanks,
Seth Smith, CEO

(Blossoms Up)
For more course tutorials visit

Susan, I don't have to tell you how disappointed I am that Megan and
you haven't seem to come through on
10. assignments I previously requested. I consider Megan's lack of
responsibility in getting those assignments
started and completed absolutely appalling. I requested these
assignments be done six months ago. I'm
displeased you haven't done a better job supervising her to get it done.
I want an update on all her performance deficiencies, issue-by-issue.
When I saw you in the hall the other day
you indicated you were reviewing different performance appraisal
methods and trying to decide which one would
be best for not just Megan's situation, but for all our employees. Get me
a memo on the different types of
performance appraisal methods we should consider, focusing in on at
least three different types that would work
well in our organization. Maybe you can pull some performance
appraisal samples together for me to review.
Then, I want to have your justification (with any applicable laws I
should consider) and recommendation on how
you want to proceed with Megan and whether or not she has a continued
future in our company or not.
Thanks,
Seth Smith, CEO

www.newtonhelp.com
CONFLICT RESOLUTION SCENARIO
A female Hispanic floriculture supervisor, Ana Mendez, has reported to
Employee Relations that she feels she has been sexually harassed by
Ellis Wilson by frequently stopping to see her at her worksite and
commenting on how sexy she is and asking her to "just go for a few
drinks" on many occasions. She states that she has rejected his advances
and informed him if he did not stop harassing her she would report it to
management. He did not stop. Ellis' position is that he happens to have
work and audits to be done in areas where she happens to be. He does
not believe his comments complimenting her should be taken seriously
because he is just a friendly type of guy. Ellis does not seem to realize
that innocent actions may be perceived as sexual harassment.
Employee Relations Manager, Roberto Miranda, discussed the matter
with you. You direct Roberto to apply conflict resolution techniques in
hopes of keeping the matter from accelerating into a full-fledged EEOC
complaint. Smith has informed you he wants this matter resolved quietly
and quickly.
19. Discuss with your team different ways to handle this sensitive matter
considering the positions of Smith, Ellis Wilson, and the floriculture
supervisor.
Write a 1000-word conflict resolution plan, in the third person voice.
Follow APA formatting and style guidelines.
• Evaluate at least two conflict resolution techniques.
• Design a conflict resolution strategy that is reasonable, fair to both
sides, and results in everyone being educated about sexual harassment in
the workplace.
• Include any disciplinary action, if you believe it is warranted.
• Include any other technique that will help resolve or address the
conflict, i.e. ethical considerations, settlement offer, disciplinary action,
demotion, termination, etc.
Use headings to appropriately signal the topics and keep your document
organized
Use a minimum of three academically appropriate sources from the UOP
Library in the paper. Include a Title page and a References page.

20. About Your Signature Assignment
Signature/Benchmark Assignments are designed to align with specific
program student learning outcome(s) in your program. Program Student
Learning Outcomes are broad statements that describe what students
should know and be able to do upon completion of their degree.
Signature/Benchmark Assignments are graded with a grading guide or
an automated rubric that allows the University to collect data that can be
aggregated across a location or college/school and used for
course/program improvements.
Resource: Blossoms Up! Case Study
Most organizations face a disruption in their business continuity based
on an "event" that creates a change in life cycle.
Coming into your new role, you recognize that a Crisis Management
Plan has never been created for the company, Blossoms Up! In your last
company, it experienced a business continuity disruption that had a
severe impact on its financial standing, but an effective business
continuity and crisis management plan significantly helped to respond
quickly to the major issue and in an organized manner. This is one more
area in which you can prove HR to be an important strategic partner.
For this assignment, you will focus on one of three main events that
could happen to Blossoms Up!
Unexpected death of the CEO, Seth Smith
Negative media publicity--For example, a news story breaks out
about a $500,000 sexual harassment claim filed against a high-
ranking director
Strike--Upon possible unionization and a collective bargaining
impasse, a strike occurs disrupting the company's ability to harvest
their products
You assess the three events that could cause Blossoms Up! to undergo
business continuity disruption rising to a crisis state and decide to get to
21. work on the one you think is most pressing and should be implemented
now.
Research the Internet and University Library for information on crisis
management plans and various templates.
Design a 1,050- to 1,400-word Crisis Management Plan to respond to
the potential event determined to be the most pressing.
Include the following:
Evaluate which departments and people need to be a part of the
crisis management team. Consider:
o HR
o Top management
o Operations personnel
o Public relations experts
o Legal assistance
o Insurance carriers.
Prepare a policy statement that includes the legal and ethical
standards for responding to the event. Avoid "no comment" or
have your company appear uncooperative or secretive during a
crisis situation.
