More information regarding IUPUI Profiles of Learning for Undergraduate Success can be found here: https://academicaffairs.iupui.edu/Strategic-Initiatives/IUPUI-Plus. In 2011, SHRM (Society of HR Management) began a program of research involving thousands of HR professionals to identify the critical competencies needed for success as an HR professional. This research led to the development of the SHRM Competency Model, which defines eight key behavioral competencies (Ethical Practices, Leadership & Navigation, Business Acumen, Relationship Management, Communication, Consultation, Critical Evaluation and Global & Cultural Effectiveness) and one technical competency (HR Expertise). The SHRM Competency Model provides HR professionals with a comprehensive roadmap for developing the capabilities they need to advance their careers and improve their effectiveness in the workplace. For more information on the SHRM Body of Knowledge, visit www.SHRM.org. This project builds knowledge in the Ethical Practices, Leadership & Navigation, Communication, Critical Evaluation, and HR Expertise domains. Specifically, under the HR Expertise domain the project will increase awareness of the following HR functional areas: US Employment Laws and Regulations
Employee and Labor Relations
HR Strategic Planning
Diversity and Inclusion
Workforce Management Tasks
1. In order to better understand conflict and controversy surrounding topics in HRM, you are to focus on a human resource issue with conflicting perspectives. You are to present an argument with the intent of providing background for the issue and making your case. This project models what an HR professional will do before making a case to business leaders. 2. Identify an issue. It can be anything that pertains to HR. It can be from the textbook, an incident at work, something from the Internet, or something in the news. You select the topic. Some examples to consider are: Employment at Will, FLSA, Minimum Wage, FMLA, ADAAA, COVID-19 employer responses, recent Supreme Court rulings. 3. Once you have identified an issue, create a mind map. There are many free mind mapping resources. I like www.miro.com. This is a free site. Start to identify conflicting view points and key issues around your topic. You can either submit the link to your mind map or the document. 4. Research the selected topic to get an overview of potentially conflicting viewpoints. Find at least 4 credible references. Try to find 2 references to support you viewpoint and 2 references opposing your position. Describe the circumstances and start to frame your topic. Don’t forget to update your mind map. 5. Take a position. You can agree or disagree. You can take a position that what happened is right or wrong, good or bad, or should have been handled that way or not. This week turn in your position statement on your topic and your updated mind map identifying your position and the opposing view. 6. Defend your position. Why do you feel your position is correct and accurate? Include your research. Your position must be supported with research and facts. Keep in mind that the CEO will value your position if you support it with facts and best practices, not just your opinion. 7. Discuss the opposing view. Why would someone disagree with you? What would their reasoning be? It is important to be able to listen and knowledgeable in the counter argument to your position. This week turn in at least one paragraph defending your position and at least one paragraph addressing the opposing view. 8. Summarize and conclude your paper.
9. Your paper should be at least 3 pages, no more than 5 pages. Doubled-spaced, 12-point font. A title page and reference page should be included but does not count toward the 3 pages. Use APA format.
