Responsibilities of HR Departments (Functional Areas) • Strategic HR planning • Analysis and design of jobs • Talent management (staffing, recruitment, selection) • Training and development • Performance management • Compensation and benefits • EE relations (including grievances, labor relations, unions) • EE services • Personnel records • Health, safety, and well-being

  13. Working in HR • HR professionals (primarily generalists) play multiple roles with clients, including • Per the text: credible activist, business ally, talent manager, strategic architect, culture/change steward, op executor • I say: Consultant, coach, counselor, therapist, parent, advisor, leader, and tour guide • For most HR jobs, you have to enjoy working with people • You may be more of a “gardener” than a “flower”

  14. Ethical HR • This course takes an ETHICAL approach • Studying ethical, moral, and values-based implications of HR decisions • My ethical quandary when working in HR… • Justice at work (process vs. outcome) • Ethics in context • E.g. international, global differences • E.g., industry differences • Ethical conflict at work (task, process, personal) • An “undercurrent” throughout all HR functional topics

  15. “Quick Chat” • Find a partner • Share any experience you have had with an ethical dilemmaat work. Discuss: • What was the situation/context? • What were your options for action? • What decision did you make? • What was the outcome?

  16. Global HR • This course takes a GLOBAL approach… • Effect of globalization on HR practices • Cross-cultural and comparative HR functions • Expatriates and international work assignments • … Focusing on benefits and costs of DIVERSITY • Different age, gender, social class, ethnicity, physical ability, race, sexual orientation, etc. of EEs • New ways ERs are expected to accommodate diverse groups (e.g., LGBT, age) • Communicating, coaching, developing, giving feedback to culturally different others • Goal = a comfortable work environment for all EEs to be productive, creative, satisfied

  17. “Quick Chat” • Find a partner • Share any experience you have had with an global work experience you have had. Discuss: • What were the home and host countries? • What were 1-2 good things or benefits of this experience? • What were 1-2 challenges or issues faced during this experience? • Do you have the desire to work internationally again? (short or long term) Why or why not?

  18. How HRM is Evolving

  19. The HRM Profession • HR salaries vary depending on education and experience, industry, and company’s “use” of HR • Primary professional organization: Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) • Specialists vs. Generalists • Very different jobs! • Generalist = “conductors of the orchestra” • Certifications • PHR http://www.hrci.org/HRCertification.aspx?id=65 • SPHR http://www.hrci.org/HRCertification.aspx?id=66 • GPHR http://www.hrci.org/HRCertification.aspx?id=67

  21. The HRM Function is Changing • Less time on administrative tasks • Self-service – online access to HR information • Outsourcing – another company provides services • More of a strategic business partner, change agent, and employee advocate • Evidence-based HR (e.g. p. 24) • Demonstrating that HR practices have a positive influence on the company’s bottom line or key stakeholders • HR is a cost center! • Via analytics (e.g. balanced scorecard…)

  22. The Sustainability Challenge *Sustainability = the ability of a company to survive and succeed in a dynamic competitive environment, without sacrificing key resources *Changes in employment expectations: • Changes in function/occupation (more to come!) • Psychological contract • Alternative work arrangements *Goal is employee engagement
