Working under a management or establishment in a position that requires unnecessary actions to be taken to perform an employee’s duties that could be made less time consuming, would result in more efficient workers with more satisfying outcomes. Modifying job positions based on changes in the work environment should be a highly recurring process.]]> 2022-11-30 17:34:38 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_hicks5/6as1ndgy7bycgk5e/wish/2403942517 andrew_hicks5 https://padlet.com/andrew_hicks5/6as1ndgy7bycgk5e/wish/2403947107 Although the main function of the development of the staffing plan is to hire the correct amount of employees to maximize profit based on revenue expectations, it is also highly important to workers that HR also base the number of employees based on their comfortability. Having too low of a number of employees can cause them to become stressed and overwhelmed in certain circumstances. It is essential to find a balance between business profit and employee satisfaction to have a workplace environment that thrives. ]]> 2022-11-30 17:37:39 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_hicks5/6as1ndgy7bycgk5e/wish/2403947107 andrew_hicks5 https://padlet.com/andrew_hicks5/6as1ndgy7bycgk5e/wish/2403951208 The work appraisal type  that I personally appreciate and value as an employee is in person, formal performance feedback. Gen Z as a whole has been deemed the generation of feedback as assessed in organizational behavior. Individuals and workers within this demographic tend to value persistent feedback and reassurance that they are performing the task correctly, and in the way that the business values and expects the tasks to be done.]]> 2022-11-30 17:40:19 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_hicks5/6as1ndgy7bycgk5e/wish/2403951208 saracarvalho14 https://padlet.com/andrew_hicks5/6as1ndgy7bycgk5e/wish/2411416739 In a workplace, diversity and inclusion is so much more than just the companies policies and regulations. HR has to ensure that individuals are respecting one another and fulfilling the needs of each team member. Not one person is the same in any environment, therefore HR has the responsibility of caring for each individuals different needs. Therefore, workplaces can earn deeper trust and commitment from their employees. ]]> 2022-12-07 00:10:34 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_hicks5/6as1ndgy7bycgk5e/wish/2411416739 https://padlet.com/andrew_hicks5/6as1ndgy7bycgk5e/wish/2413410784 Every year employees have annual reviews of their performance. Whether you are a boss or an employee, this time of year can get very stressful. Everyone needs to remember not to overwork themselves and take breaks when needed.]]> 2022-12-07 19:40:25 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_hicks5/6as1ndgy7bycgk5e/wish/2413410784 jayceexell https://padlet.com/andrew_hicks5/6as1ndgy7bycgk5e/wish/2413422003 In the Human Resources field, it is very important to communicate effectively. If you keep in communication with Human Resources at your company it can help to keep it running smoothly and effectively. Human Resources is a very vital part to a company that should not be overlooked as they help with many essential functions for the organization.]]> 2022-12-07 19:50:19 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_hicks5/6as1ndgy7bycgk5e/wish/2413422003 rachel_diglio https://padlet.com/andrew_hicks5/6as1ndgy7bycgk5e/wish/2413429818 One of the human resources main goals is to provide a safe work environment. If this type of environment is created then the workers that they hire will want to stay working, therefore increasing the company's value. If the employees feel unsafe, they will have a high rate of people quitting their company and finding a job where they don't feel their mental or physical health is at risk. In the physical sense, HR must ensure that the workplace is free of danger. This is typically done through worksite analysis and hazard prevention and control. HR also must protect the employee's emotional health by protecting them from behaviors like harassment, discrimination, intimidation, and exploitation. They may provide training sessions for employees, managers, and supervisors to learn to identify harmful practices and know how to report them when needed.]]> 2022-12-07 19:57:33 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_hicks5/6as1ndgy7bycgk5e/wish/2413429818 jayceexell https://padlet.com/andrew_hicks5/6as1ndgy7bycgk5e/wish/2413430746 Every companies backbone is their human resources department. In an effective organization, they communicate every pertinent piece of information to their HR department. This allows the human resources department to gain valuable knowledge about employees and even customers, which in turn can help their business prosper and flourish. ]]> 2022-12-07 19:58:28 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_hicks5/6as1ndgy7bycgk5e/wish/2413430746 rachel_diglio https://padlet.com/andrew_hicks5/6as1ndgy7bycgk5e/wish/2413438826 Handling disciplinary actions is a very important role in human resources.  You need to be able to stand your ground, because there will be times where people do the wrong thing and will have to correct their behavior. Or if it is really bad, will have to fire them. You want your company to have a good reputation, so HR must ensure that everyone is positively impacting the company. They also must know how to handle them fairly as well as respectfully. They also want to prevent any additional conflict or escalation. This may involve having a clear disciplinary process, whether that includes starting with a written warning and increasing in severity with suspensions or demotions.]]> 2022-12-07 20:06:32 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_hicks5/6as1ndgy7bycgk5e/wish/2413438826 rachel_diglio https://padlet.com/andrew_hicks5/6as1ndgy7bycgk5e/wish/2413450641 After HR has hired qualified employees, it is now up to them to retain talent and remain competitive. They do this by launching employee development initiatives. They could do this by making additional on-the-job training, professional development programs, or educational opportunities that allow employees to grow and develop in their current roles, or prepare them for career advancement within the organization.  This can lead to higher productivity in the employees as well as a lower turnover rate. It can also benefit employers. This is because seeing the company invest in their development, may help them feel more valued, increase job satisfaction, and incentivize them to stay with the company.]]> 2022-12-07 20:18:19 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_hicks5/6as1ndgy7bycgk5e/wish/2413450641 cburns331 https://padlet.com/andrew_hicks5/6as1ndgy7bycgk5e/wish/2413646822 Employers are required to notify an employee if they are going to be terminated or if their hours are going to be cut by 50%. If employers could just terminate employees with no warning it could cause them to get behind on bills and other expenses. The notice gives the employee time to find another job so they can keep up with their payments. This is important because it gives workers security so they do not end up without a job unexpectedly. ]]> 2022-12-08 00:53:28 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_hicks5/6as1ndgy7bycgk5e/wish/2413646822 cburns331 https://padlet.com/andrew_hicks5/6as1ndgy7bycgk5e/wish/2413771927 Age discrimination laws are very important because it protects people over 40 from being replaced by a younger employee. Just because an employee is older then 40 does not mean they are unable to do their job. This is important because it prevents companies from replacing old employees with younger ones that may be more familiar with new technology. ]]> 2022-12-08 02:58:48 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_hicks5/6as1ndgy7bycgk5e/wish/2413771927 saracarvalho14 https://padlet.com/andrew_hicks5/6as1ndgy7bycgk5e/wish/2413810634 Implementing a dress code can bring a company unity and ensure that all employees are dressing appropriately to work. This allows employees to convey an image that a company wants to convey. Without a dress code, many individuals may dress inappropriately. Therefore, a dress code can set expectations for the company and allow employees to understand what to wear to work.]]> 2022-12-08 03:43:46 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_hicks5/6as1ndgy7bycgk5e/wish/2413810634 saracarvalho14 https://padlet.com/andrew_hicks5/6as1ndgy7bycgk5e/wish/2413812974 Considering Covid is still an ongoing pandemic in our society, many companies still implement covid 19 policies in order to keep all their employees safe. Especially back in 2020 when Covid first broke-out, many companies went remote, or required masks and constant testing in order to ensure the safety of others. This is essential to decrease the spread of disease and keep everyone healthy. ]]> 2022-12-08 03:46:53 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_hicks5/6as1ndgy7bycgk5e/wish/2413812974 cburns331 https://padlet.com/andrew_hicks5/6as1ndgy7bycgk5e/wish/2413820064 I learned that unions are in all different kinds of jobs like teachers, restaurants, and trades. They are important because it gives employees power to get better working conditions, higher pay, or other benefits. Without unions employees can be taken advantage of by making employees work too many hours or in dangerous conditions. Employees can go on strike until their companies change policies or give the employees what they want. ]]> 2022-12-08 03:56:11 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_hicks5/6as1ndgy7bycgk5e/wish/2413820064
