Provide a slide with an overview on the importance of having a highly-developed staff of HR business partners.

Human Resource Business Partner (HRBP) Development

Instructions

Your previous contributions addressing a variety of important topics outlined in all previous assignments for this course are deemed essential in supporting the business’ overall organizational structure and competitive advantage strategy. It is now time to consider developing your own HR department team to ensure they have the requisite skills and competencies necessary to perform at high levels over time. Effective and motivated HR business partners (HRBP) will be the key to translating HR and business strategy into action. The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) Body of Competency and Knowledge (BoCK) can be an invaluable resource to help develop and certify HR professionals. You must now explain to the management team the components of this model and how it can be leveraged to achieve operational success for the HR department. A one-hour meeting has been scheduled, and the CEO will be in attendance. 

Create a 20-slide minimum PowerPoint presentation with your script or discussion or commentary in the Notes section of each slide, in which you do the following:

1. Include cover, presentation agenda, conclusion, and reference list slides, all of which may count toward total slide count. 

2. Provide a slide with an overview on the importance of having a highly-developed staff of HR business partners. Be clear with your position.

· Example: The Evolution of the HR Business Partner Role .

3. Provide 1–4 slides introducing the SHRM BoCK model and its components. Be sure to highlight each of the areas of the model. Note: It is highly recommended to insert an image of the actual SHRM BoCK model into the presentation. 

4. Include in the remaining slides the following required presentation information: 

· Provide a minimum of three to four bullet points (more if needed) of information or discussion describing the specifics on the SHRM BoCK’s “Behavioral Competencies.”

· Provide a minimum of three to four bullet points (more if needed) of information or discussion describing the specifics on the SHRM BoCK’s “HR Expertise: Domains 1 & 2.” 

· Provide a minimum of three to four bullet points (more if needed) of information or discussion describing the specifics on the SHRM BoCK’s “HR Expertise: Domains 3 & 4.” 

· Provide a minimum of three to four bullet points (more if needed) of information or discussion describing specifics on certifying your HRBPs. 

· Note: Good PowerPoints have very few words on the slides themselves—almost all of the information you need to include should be in the Notes.  

5. Use at least four quality academic resources in this assignment.  Note: You may only use the resources listed in the Course Guide and those that are specifically provided by the professor.

6. Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

· Have headings for each section with all bulleted information aligned properly and using the same font and size. Images may be used but must be professional and relevant to the topic.

· The source or sources of all images must be credited with both citation and reference. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

How do those factors impact who you are? How do they directly or indirectly shape your personality?

Overview

Loden’s Wheel is considered an important tool in considering factors of diversity. Used in diversity trainings across the nation, the wheel provides a foundation for thinking about potential conflicts we may be blind to. There are numerous versions and adaptations of Loden’s Wheel; the one used in this assignment is the most extensive one for analyzing the complexity of the topic. You will be using Loden’s Wheel to identify factors in yourself from the various levels of the wheel.

Prompt

Using the provided Module Two Practice Activity Template Word Document, you will use the factors on Loden’s Wheel to help define aspects of yourself. You will first identify factors from the different sections of Loden’s Wheel: internal factors, external factors, organizational factors, and era factors. You will then select the most influential factors from each section of the wheel (a minimum of three from each section) and provide an explanation as to why you chose those factors. How do those factors impact who you are? How do they directly or indirectly shape your personality?

Keep the following in mind as you are identifying factors and providing rationale:

• Be sure to discern between often-confused factors, such as race and ethnicity.
• The factors may vary in level of depth and broadness. For example, experiences may be broad, whereas age is specific.
• In the outermost circle, era is used to provide a broader view of how things shape individuals. For instance, 9/11 or the O. J. Simpson trial may impact your locale or a group you identify with, or they may shape your parents or community at large. Consider war and conflict, politics, social movements, movies and albums released, and so on.
• You do not need to describe all factors. Only include what you are comfortable sharing.

Specifically, the following rubric criteria must be addressed:

• Identify internal factors of self (a minimum of three).
• Provide rationale as to why selected internal factors are most influential on your personality.
• Identify external factors of self (a minimum of three).
• Provide rationale as to why selected external factors are most influential on your personality.
• Identify organizational factors of self (a minimum of three).
• Provide rationale as to why selected organizational factors are most influential on your personality.
• Identify era factors of self (a minimum of three).
• Provide rationale as to why selected era factors are most influential on your personality.
