Write a 6-8 page (minimum) research paper analyzing the HRM concepts, policies, practices and procedures
Company name : Shake Shack
assignment is to write a 6-8 page (minimum) research paper analyzing the HRM concepts, policies, practices and procedures we learn in this class for an organization of your choice.
This paper will focus on:
- Chapter 11: Employee Benefits
- Chapter 12: Promoting Safety & Health
- Chapter 13: Employee Rights and Discipline
- Chapter 14: The Dynamics of Labor Relations
- Chapter 15: International Human Resources Management
- You must use APA-formatted in-text citations and References to indicate the source of any ideas you apply from other authors. You are encouraged to summarize and paraphrase whenever possible rather than directly quoting, as your instructor is much more interested in what you now know and understand than in what you can quote from your research.
This paper should examine how your company of choice provides benefits and what benefits they offer. What benefits must be provided by the organization? How do these benefits differ between full and part time employees? Do employees like the benefits they are provided? How does the company try to manage benefit costs?
The paper will also examine the role of health and safety within the organization. What role does HR play in providing health and safety policies to employees. What consequences could result in poor health and safety practices? What are the employee responsibilities when it comes to safety? How does OSHA or other governmental agencies provide oversight for health and safety to the organization? Can you find examples of safety accidents, workplace violence or other incidents of concern? What impact did these incidents or violations have?
The paper will also explore employee rights and how management makes disciplinary decisions. Can you find examples or violations that have resulted in these decisions? Have employees been wrongfully terminated or have other employee rights been violated? What outcome did this have on the employee and/or organization? Is the company (or industry) unionized? How would a union relationship impact how the organization is managed? How has the organization tried to promote or avoid unionization?
Finally discuss if the company operates internationally and how this process is different than in the US. If the company is not an international organization, what laws or differences should they consider if moving into a global market place?
Conclude with your key takeaways or suggestions on improvement.
- The page count does NOT include the title page and reference page.
- The papers require research from course materials and at least seven (7) independent scholarly sources that you find separate from course materials. Students are encouraged to share their sources in advance with the instructor, to be certain that what you’ve found are reputable and acceptable sources. After exploring the role of Human Resource Management and its various requirements, it’s now time to demonstrate that you can apply these concepts in your own chosen industry or organization!
- This assignment should include at least 6-8 pages summarizing your key learnings in class and how they are relevant in your industry or career path. Written assignments require application of content from the textbook and any other learning materials provided in the course, as well as your own independent research (especially around industry-specific aspects of the assignment).
- Your paper should be formatted and written in the style dictated by the American Psychological Association (APA) 7.0 Style guidelines.
