Why does your HR function exist? What do you want for your customers and how can HR provide that?

Use your analysis to write your own HR mission statement for your fictional company. Consider the following questions when evaluating and formulating your mission statement. Keep in mind that good mission statements are short, clear, concise, & brief hard-hitting comments on your mission.

? Why does your HR function exist? What do you want for your customers and how can HR provide that?
? Who are your customers and what can you do for them that will enrich their lives and contribute to their success, both present and future?
? What image of your function do you want to convey internally and externally? Customers, employees and the public will all have perceptions of your company. How will HR help create the desired picture?
? What level of service do you provide to employees and the company? Don’t be vague; define what will make your service extraordinary.
? What kind of relationships will your HR function maintain with customers? Every company function is in partnership with its customers. When you succeed, so do they.
? What underlying philosophies or values guided your responses to the previous questions? Some mission statements choose to list these separately (as core values or vision). Writing them down clarifies the “why” behind your mission.
? Does your HR function’s mission statement describe and support what your company will do and why it will do it (the company’s core values)?

How do you feel marketing has influenced the consumer behavior of families?

PART 1:
Since popular media (i.e.TV in the 1950’s, internet/digital/social media now) has become more accessible, it has changed the way people view what is normal and what people “need” to have.

A young kid thinks they are poor because EVERYONE else has certain shoes, phones, etc.

2. What are a few product examples that are associated with the poor, the working class, and the rich?
3. Do you feel it is ethical for marketers to target children so they influence their parents to buy products – why or why not?
