MGMT 410 (Human Resource Management) Entire Course
DeVry MGMT410 Week 1 Discussion 1 & 2
dq 1
| The Purpose of HRM (graded) |
Human Resources Management (HRM)—what a mouthful! Class, this term, I will introduce you to the concepts of HRM—what it is, what it does (typically), what it can do (optimally), and what it should do (strategically). To start, let’s work on a few introductory questions.
- What purpose does HRM serve in an organization?
- What role does HRM serve in your organization (or your previous organization)?
- What does “strategic” HRM sound like it means, in your opinion?
dq 2
| The Functions of HRM (graded) |
What are the four basic HRM functions? How exactly do these functions assist the organization in reaching its goals?
DeVry MGMT410 Week 2 Discussion 1 & 2
dq 1
| EEO Laws (graded) |
Class, since the passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964, more employment legislation in the area of equal employment opportunity (EEO) has become the law of the land. Pick one of the following acts and tell us its major provisions.
- Civil Rights Act of 1964
- Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
- Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA)
- Pregnancy Discrimination Act
- Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
dq 2
| Social Media, E-Mails, and Privacy (graded) |
Over the last few years, companies have begun relying significantly on technology to assist employees in handling their day-to-day operations. As a result, the work/home life has blurred, and people handle personal items (e-mail, Facebook, etc.) on company computers and company work (e-mail, texting, instant messages) on their personal devices (iPhones, Droids, laptops, tablets, etc.)
With this blending has come serious concerns by companies about their private company information falling into the wrong hands (customer lists, trade secrets, etc.), and employees have concerns about their privacy being invaded at work, by coworkers, and by their IT departments. Further, HRM handles immense amounts of personal information on employees, including home addresses, personnel records, pay information, SSNs, and more.
Therefore, privacy concerns comprise a two-way street. Laws have been passed (and are being passed and considered every day) by states and Congress to protect both parties. As an example, Illinois recently passed a law making it illegal for potential employers to require people to give them their social network passwords during interviews. Soon thereafter, other states passed similar laws.
What are some other technology privacy laws that apply to workers and employers in the United States? How do they protect employees from privacy invasion and how to they actually allow employers to invade the privacy of their employees? Is your personal e-mail safe at work if you use your company computer to read it? How about your personal phone calls on the company phones? Pick a concept and let’s get started.
DeVry MGMT410 Week 3 Discussion 1 & 2
dq 1
| Interviewing (graded) |
Interviewing methods are extremely varied so this thread should be quite exciting. Please bring into this thread your depth of information and experiences, and feel free to share the good, bad, and ugly interviewing situations you have experienced, both as interviewer and interviewee.
To start, here are a few questions. Pick one or two and provide your answer, along with any experience that you may have had. Feel free to find information online about interviewing skills, tactics, or questions to assist you this week. Cite your sources!
- What types of interviewing styles are there, and which do you prefer using (or being used on you?)
- Have you experienced a group interview? If so, explain how that went. If not, research it and explain how you might set one up as an HR manager.
- Have you ever been part of any of these: stress interview, STAR interview, situational interview, or panel interview? If so, explain one of them and provide your experience, good or bad. If not, research and provide information about how you might prepare to be interviewed in this manner.
| Recruitment and Selection (graded) |
Effective recruitment and selection help organizations gain competitive advantages. This discussion will help us review some best practices. To start, pick one of these questions, and provide a well-reasoned, supported response to it. Be sure to provide text, Web-based, life experience, or scholarly source(s) to support your ideas (and cite them, if needed). Assume that we have solid job descriptions for the positions we are filling and now we need to find the perfect people to fill those seats.
- How does the size and location of your company impact how and where you will recruit your new employees?
- Is it easier or harder to find good employees during times of high unemployment? Why do you say this? (Provide examples/statistics or research to back up your statement.)
- How does the wording of your want ads (and placement of those ads) determine who applies for your job openings?
- How does the current make-up of your organization dictate where you will look to fill your openings?
DeVry MGMT410 Week 4 Discussion 1 & 2
dq 1
| Employee Orientation (graded) |
Employee orientation is handled differently in each organization. Let’s talk about this in both the theoretical perspective as well as in practical terms. Here are a few questions to get started.
- Should companies offer formal orientation programs for all new employees, or should they be designed and run by each individual supervisor, manager, or department head? (Support your answer.)
- Explain some purposes for having employee orientations.
- Give an example from your own experience of the first weeks on the job, either with or without an orientation program, and how you felt orientation helped you settle in (or, if you didn’t have an orientation, how that impacted your view of that job).
dq 2
| Individual Development and Career Management (graded) |
Review TCO 9 listed at the top of the page. Many of you may have or do work for an organization in which “career development” takes on a bit of a life of its own, and has a very invested HR department that assists with, motivates, and encourages employee career development.
Others of you may work (or may have worked) for an organization—where absolutely no career development occurs.
There is a dual mindset of how involved a company or HR should be in its employees’ career development, but ultimately of course, a person needs to take responsibility for his or her own career options.
This week, let’s focus on the multiple aspects by starting with these questions:
- How important is career development to you?
- How much do you want your HR department to involve itself in your career development?
- How much, as a future HR person (if you plan to be one), would you want to be involved in your employees’ career development?
DeVry MGMT410 Week 5 Discussion 1 & 2
dq 1
| Performance Appraisals (graded) |
What are the different performance appraisal methods? Pick two: the one you find to be MOST effective (and tell us why) and the one you find to be LEAST effective (and tell us why).
For the most effective, explain how it is effective in doing the following:
- providing fair and reliable ways of differentiating employees;
- targeting and rewarding those who most deserve it;
- setting forth a fair and cost-effective plan for compensation; and
- motivating and ensuring performance of employees.
dq 2
| Methods of Job Evaluation (graded) |
Compare and contrast the following methods of job evaluation: ranking, classification, factor comparison, and point method. Which of these do you feel is most useful and why?
DeVry MGMT410 Week 6 Discussion 1 & 2
dq 1
| Health and Safety (graded) |
Who would have thought that OSHA and the IRS would be discussed in the same discussion topic of an HRM course? This topic will be a bit foundational, but also without as much precedential information as normal. First, we’ll start with OSHA. Visit the OSHA website at www.osha.org. Then, click on “More News” under the latest news area (http://www.osha.gov/newsrelease.html). Find your region and click the link. Review a recent news item about an OSHA violation from your region/area. Post a summary of the violation, the resulting fine (if any), the violation type (if provided), and what the company did wrong to cause the violation. Provide ideas for preventing such an accident or injury in the future, and the link to your news release.
dq 2
| Striking for Benefits (graded) |
Read the Application Case: STRIKING FOR BENEFITS at the end of Chapter 13. We will begin with the first question in that case and move from there while we discuss benefits, perks, employee motivation, and retention.
DeVry MGMT410 Week 7 Discussion 1 & 2
dq 1
| Employee Engagement (graded) |
Employee engagement has become popular in HRM these days. Measuring it and determining whether a company’s employees are “engaged” are
actually vendor services for which companies pay through the use of anonymous surveying tools. The science behind employee engagement is not yet perfected—there are many different ways that employers can help their employees get engaged! We’ll talk about this throughout the week and your professor will bring in additional questions and thoughts. To get started, please do this: Provide your definition of employee engagement. Support your definition using a citation from a website, the textbook, or a scholarly article from the DeVry Online Library. Give one example of how you have been engaged in a job in the past, and how your employer assisted you in being engaged.
dq 2
| Negotiating With the Writers Guild of America (graded) |
Read the Application Case, Negotiation With the Writers Guild of America, at the end of Chapter 15. To start, answer Question 1 in the case. We will move through the case with more questions, and discuss more of the issues involved with the union issues.
DeVry MGMT410 Week 2 Case Study
Case Study: Social Media Policies: Are They Legal?
Here are several tips for successfully completing this case study.
- You should incorporate information from the textbook, the lectures, and maybe the discussions to support your position. In other words, tell me more than just your opinion. Provide some relevant facts from the course material to support your position.
- Utilize the LexisNexis database in the DeVry University Online Library to help you research this project. Try the Advanced Search area and look up laws, news, and law reviews using combinations of keywords likesocial media, Facebook, NLRB,andconcerted activity.
Week 2 Case Study: Social Media Policies, Concerted Activity, and HR Management
In the last few years, companies have begun initiating and implementing social media policies for their employees to follow. These policies range from encouraging employees to utilizing social media for marketing purposes, to restricting the use of social media for employees in order to ensure that they do not hurt the company image. As these policies become more widespread, both the Society for Human Resource Management and the NLRB (National Labor Relations Board) have become concerned about the limits on speech and activity that employers are imposing on their workers. Further, in some states, laws are being passed to protect employees and potential employees from being required to disclose social media passwords during job interviews or after hire. Finally, many ethical concerns are being raised about the use of social media as a method of doing quick, informal background checks on potential hires or current employees.
For your homework this week, research the following questions and provide your findings in answers that are long enough to sufficiently answer the questions (about 2–3 good paragraphs each). Provide citations in APA style for each of your answers. Use APA formatting in your Word document that you submit to the Dropbox. Save your file with your last name in the filename, please. Let your professor know if you have questions!
Questions to Research and Answer
The NLRB has made findings regarding the use of employee posts on social media sites to discipline or terminate those employees. Typically, these cases occur when an employee posts negative information about his or her current employer or boss. Sometimes, these are public, and other times, the employer uses spies or fake friending to see the Facebook page of the employee.
- 1. Find at least one case or article online regarding this topic, and briefly explain the facts of the case, and the determination of the NLRB as to whether the employee was properly or improperly disciplined or terminated as a result of his or her use of social media to complain about, criticize, or publicly bash his or her company or boss. Provide the citation to the article that you discover. (Use the termconcerted activityin your query or search to help you find one of these cases.) (25 points)
- 2. Do you agree with the decision of the NLRB or court in the case that you described in Question #1 above? Why or why not? (1–3 paragraphs). (10 points)
- 3. Assume that this case happened at a place where you have worked in the past, or where you work now (or want to work.) Give an example of how the decision in the case above could lead to better or worse employee relations in your company. (15 points)
- 4. Explain how you would communicate this decision to your employees or supervisors (depending on the decision you have selected) to ensure that situations like this do not occur again. In your answer, determine whether or not you feel a social media policy is a good method. If so, list at least three things you would include in your policy and why you would include them. If you do not feel a social media policy is appropriate, explain why you would not implement one (give at least two valid reasons). (3–4 paragraphs) (15 points)

DeVry MGMT410 Week 1 Quiz
DeVry MGMT410 Week 1 Quiz
- 1. Question :
Copying is one of the most commonly committed acts that violate academic integrity. Copying includes looking off of someone else’s paper (or using someone’s paper or answers from another course, classroom, or previous session). It also is committed when a purchased (or free) paper is found online that is specific to the assignments provided in the course.
Websites like Student of Fortune, ScribD, Ask.com, and so forth (many others) sometimes end up with DeVry assignments posted on them by students who have hired online tutor sources to write their work for them. Faculty members are aware of these sites and, just like students, can Google sources to find out if a paper has been bought from these sites. Avoid these sites like the plague—seriously. It just isn’t worth the extra hour or two it might buy you if you end up with a 0 for the paper or course or lose your degree over buying a paper (or getting it for free.) Typically, the #1 red flag to a professor that one of these sites has been used is when multiple students miss the same question in the exact same manner. Yes, the answers on those sites will typically cost money, but the answers are not guaranteed to be right. And further, the free papers on those sites almost always have wrong answers. Do not use these sites! Avoid them! If you use them, citing them is not enough to overcome the copying stigma and violation of the policy.
As one instructor of the course stated, “The majority of students who have been cited for Academic Integrity in my classes over the last 10 years have been because of their use of these websites – please remind students not to use them!”
What should you do if you find one of DeVry’s assignments on the Web? Please send the link to your professor immediately so that we can ask the DeVry legal team to have it removed. The content of our courses is copyrighted and protected. Never upload our content to any website.
What should you do if you run out of time and can’t get your work done? Contact your professor immediately and ask for an extension. Of course, he or she might say no. But that is the worst thing that will happen. So you get a 0 on that assignment. It is better than a 0 on the assignment and a mark on your record that you violated academic integrity, which is what could happen if you succumb to the temptation to use a tutor website or someone else’s paper.
Check all of the boxes that apply.
Academic integrity includes avoiding the use of other people’s old homework, exam answers, and websites that offer answers to our homework.
Academic integrity violations can happen if students turn in someone else’s paper, or even one answer from a paper from another person, or a website like ScribD or Student of Fortune, even if it is cited.
I should send the link to my professor of any website I find that has DeVry assignments listed on it with or without the answers.
None of the above
