HRM 310 SNHU Changing Work Environment Questions
OverviewDirectionsEmployees: Currently your company has a remote work program on an as-needed basis for each department. The employees must meet with their manager and discuss the need to work remotely. Only short-term remote work arrangements are granted, and these arrangements are usually for a few days at a time. There was an exception to this policy during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic when the company was forced to work remotely. Now that the pandemic is under control, employees are returning to the office. A survey conducted by your company showed that employees want more flexibility in their work arrangements, specifically work-from-home options for longer durations of time. Employees felt more engaged and motivated to work, in many cases working longer than their typical eight-hour day. They are unhappy with the return to the office.Managers: Employees were hired to work onsite, not to work from home for long periods of time. The employer is already providing flexible work arrangements on an as-needed basis. If extended, managers are worried about low productivity and engagement by employees. During the pandemic, some employees were hard to reach when needed during the workday. In addition, managers are unsure how to manage and lead a team in a remote environment while still meeting the goals of the company. Managers understand this is a hot topic in the workforce and would like to find a way to compromise to retain employees.Specifically, your response must address the following rubric criteria:Response to Employees: Create a response for employees from the lens of the HR professional.What information is important for employees (non-managers) to hear from Human Resources?How is your response tailored to employees who now feel a greater sense of leverage?How do you address the changes needed to work in a remote environment?What information is important for managers to hear from Human Resources?How do you address the changes needed to manage in a remote environment?Research: Incorporate reputable resources that reflect depth and breadth of research. Consider using Shapiro Library, Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM), legal sources, module resources, and trade sources.

OverviewAs our world changes, the workforce is continually changing with new legislation/laws, employment practices, and ways of doing business. As these changes occur, organizations must evolve and adapt to stay compliant and relevant to continue engaging, attracting, and retaining employees. At times, these changes must be documented and become a standard of how the organization operates. As a human resource professional, you may be required to write policies, enforce them, and provide clarity to employees.In this module, you responded to managers and non-managers regarding a request to work remotely. This conflict has created a need for clear and accurate communication regarding remote work, in the form of a written work-from-home (WFH) policy. In this assignment, you will draft a WFH policy describing the organizations point of view and process on remote work. This policy is for all employees. As you begin this assignment, spend some time thinking about how organizations have responded to remote work and what policies were needed to address this change. For example, you may consider policies related to work hours, such as registering or showing as present when working remotely, as well as remote work expectations.DirectionsTo complete this assignment, write a remote work policy.

Organizations are arranged or structured in ways that best support the organizations ability to meet its goals. Organizational structure refers to reporting relationships, accountability, assignments, and decision-making philosophies. Over time, companies may want to or need to change their organizational structure to adapt to a changing environment. Organizational strategy, market demands, technology, competitive factors, and changing societal expectations are all drivers and influencers of organizational structure. Managers of different levels are sometimes (but not always) included in talks about organizational structure because they are more familiar with day-to-day workings than the executive team.Think of an organization youre familiar with, such as one youve worked for or even a place of worship or school, What kind of organizational structure does the organization use?What other organizational structures discussed in this weeks textbook readings might allow the organization to operate more effectively?
