You are the HR Manager for the Pleasantville School District. Although it hadn’t done so before, the district recently implemented a person-focused pay program. This program offers a pay increase to teachers who pursue additional education and training. You were on the team that developed this policy, which has been approved but has not yet been disseminated district-wide.

One of the high school teachers has scheduled an appointment with you to review how the program works. You plan to review the policy with the teacher and give him a paper copy as a leave-behind piece.

In this post:

  • Write the policy for the Pleasantville School District’s person-focused pay program that will be shared with the teacher. At a minimum, be sure to address the person-focused pay program’s:
    • Purpose and description, including effective policy dates.
    • Eligibility requirements. (Who is eligible to participate in the program?)
    • Acceptable types of education and training. (What is eligible for reimbursement?)
    • Awards for successful completion of training or education (promotional opportunities, compensation, non-monetary rewards, et cetera).

Note: Remember that well-written policies are understandable and to the point. Keep the policy to one page at most

Respond to the following:

You have recently been hired as the HR manager of a small furniture manufacturing company that has 63 employees. These employees include everyone from line workers to upper management. You are the first HR person the company has had. One of your first assignments was to evaluate the fairness of the company’s current compensation system.

Based on your evaluation, you have discovered a number of inconsistencies:

Some line workers earn more than managers.

Some managers earn twice as much as other managers even though the work is similar.

Some line workers are making significantly more money than others even though they are performing the same work.

What recommendations would you make to improve the consistency of the company’s compensation system?

Be sure to provide the rationale for your recommendations.

Create a six-slide, 12-minute presentation briefing a team on a potential ethical dilemma.

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies:

In the career for which you are preparing, where will you look for ethical guidance?

  • Employer: contractual obligations, employee handbook, corporate culture.
  • Colleagues: fellow workers, deserving respect, productive relationships.
  • Clients: honest treatment, service with dignity, contractual obligations.
  • Profession: fellow practitioners, counterbalance to employer, code of conduct.
  • Personal: individual commitments, personal responsibility, integrity.

SHOW LESS

All of these overlapping concerns may create conflicted situations. Professional association codes of ethics commonly deal with a number of concerns:

  • Expertise: qualifications for practitioners, continuing education.
  • Research: informed consent, plagiarism, shared publication credit.
  • Privacy: record keeping, protecting confidentiality, public statements.
  • Relationships: harassment, conflicts of interest, workplace behavior.

No matter how extensively the professional code is spelled out, it cannot cover everything, and it often overemphasizes enforcement. It is more helpful to take a positive approach, thinking aspirationally about how best to handle challenging situations.

Questions to Consider

To deepen your understanding, you are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of the business community.

SHOW LESS

  • What concrete situations in your workplace might give rise to ethical dilemmas?
  • Does the professional code of conduct provide any relevant guidance for these cases?
  • Where else might you turn for reliable advice on handling each of these situations?
  • How can workplace colleagues productively resolve disagreements about such issues?
  • When might your own personal ethical convictions conflict with the advice of others?

Please remember that these are practical questions. The point is not to deal abstractly with philosophical issues, but rather to develop useful skills everyone can apply every day.

Topic: How the new vision will affect Job Performance and Job Commitment 

Keeping Job Performance and Commitment High

As a managerial new hire and amidst the changes to come at Virginia Meats Inc., you will need to understand how to increase and maintain job performance and commitment during this transition and thereafter. Following upon week one’s Memo, the CEO Daniel Chinn now wants to gauge your understanding and preparedness to do this. Using the same Memo Format as in week one, answer in the follow-up questions for the CEO:

Directions: 

1. By FRIDAY, complete the following:

Explain your understanding of job performance and why it is important to a sustainable organization.

  • In week 1, you envisioned the future direction towards which Virginia Meats Inc. needs to move. Given your knowledge of the company history and current status from the company profile, identify three areas that might challenge the employee’s performance as they move towards this goal. Be specific as to types of performance.

Explain your understanding of job commitment and why it is important to a sustainable organization.

  • Given the future vision of Virginia Meats Inc., its history and current status from the company profile, identify three areas that might challenge the employee’s commitment as they move towards this goal. Be specific as to types of commitment.

Discuss how your role as manager relates to job performance and commitment. How will this role be challenged in the future workplace? Give three examples.

You must use course material to support your responses and APA in-text citations with a reference list.

2. THROUGHOUT the week, complete the following:

  • Respond to your classmates three or more days throughout the week. Remember you are trying to develop the best answers to the questions as possible. Your classmates are doing the same so read the posts carefully looking for the best ideas being presented.  The goal is that by the end of the week the class will come to some consensus as to the best answers giving you the chance to submit the best ideas in the final post.
  • You must use course material to support your responses but you do not need to use APA in the brainstorming discussion with the exception of Friday’s initial first impression post.
  • Participation is worth 2.5 points each week (20% of the final grade). Participation must be reflected in the final post so grades will be affected by the content portion of the post if participation is not shown. Therefore, it is important to get in the class often and with the idea of improving your initial post with the discussion so that the final grade will be the best you can deliver.

3. FINAL POST, complete the following:

  • Attach your final post in the classroom by Monday at 11:59 p.m. ET.
  • The final post must reflect the brainstorming activities and should be different than your Friday initial post.
  • The final post must include a variety of sources from the class material as well as the use of scenario or case study facts where appropriate.
  • It must USE APA in-text citations and reference list.

Brainstorming is a technique that seeks to collect a myriad of ideas about a problem in an effort to find a unique and often innovative way of handling the solution. It can also be a way of collecting information about a situation or produce feedback about a particular topic. Brainstorming works very simply with only three rules: No idea is too far fetched, all ideas are to be accepted by the group for consideration, and the ideas must focus on the topic presented for discussion not whether the idea will work or not. Obviously, many ideas will be discounted later on when constraints like budget or implementation impossibilities may block its consideration for successful implementation. However, for the purpose of this discussion focus only on suggesting ideas from the class material and research which will answer the topic under discussion.
