You may have attachments in the  addendum (create a salary grid from a reputable job, or a job  classification family table. You may use APA or MLA format for citation.  TURNITIN IS USED FOR PLAGIARISM. 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Identify the Problem and Stakeholders

Job classification is the process of placing one or more jobs into a cluster or family of similar jobs. The jobs family is based on lines of authority, duties, and responsibilities of the work or behavioral requirements of the job. Job classification can be important for setting pay rates and selecting employees. Small companies are facing challenges more than ever before. Small companies used to serve local community in the past and that was kind of sufficient for those companies to survive. Nowadays, massive companies are dominating the market and extending to even small neighborhoods that used to be served by small companies. There is then a challenge for those small companies to recruit highly talented employees and create a job classification system in which they can compete with other larger companies. HR professional play a crucial role in creating the job classification systems that those small companies need. Position classification is the foundation document used to assign a position’s title, job duties, compensations, and grade level. Since small companies do not have a wide range of job that can be classified under the same jobs family, they face challenge as each job maybe considered a unique job. 

The impact of this touches employers and employees together as they each need to have a well-defined list of duties and responsibilities. The job classification sets the expectation for both parties and allows for a smooth task to be carried in workplace. 

The paper will finally discuss in details those challenges and how small companies can classify their jobs in order to compete with larger companies who have a more designed system for job classification. 

Research Methodology

For the purpose of this research, two methods, questionnaire and interview will be the first methods to use. Market research about small companies challenge to create job classifications comes third as well as journals from human resource subject will compliment the information needed for the entire research. 

Different Alternatives

Job analysis will be conducted in order to determine what can classified as family job and hence have the chance to create a classification system for those jobs. Also, standardizing the classification based on the job requirements and automate most of the tasks will make easy to classify a job and list the requirements. The use of duties as a mode of analysis may be helpful for such functions as job evaluation and classification or creation of job families. Small companies should strive to create a classification system that simultaneously treats the essential attributes of both jobs and people. Other alternatives based on market research will be in the paper as well.

Review Alternatives

The feasibility of the alternatives will be reviewed in the paper, and each will be given a weight as to how easily it can be implemented. The information used to evaluate the alternatives will be based on researching the market and finding more about how small companies deal with job classification and how they can create a reliable system for the same. 

Final Recommendation

The final recommendation is choosing one of the alternatives as the most appropriate method or creating a job classification based on using information from all alternatives presented.

BUS-FP3050 Communication, Ethics, and a Command Decision

/in /by

Overview

Captain Crozier, Commander of the USS Theodore Roosevelt, wrote and distributed a controversial letter that pleaded for help for crew members stricken by the Covid-19 virus in March of 2020. The communication was sent to several recipients and eventually found its way to the news media. The situation became front-page news and was actively debated in the media. Senior leaders believed that Captain Crozier may have avoided his chain of command for fear that his immediate leader would suppress the issue and expose the sailors to unnecessary danger. His decisions and actions that lead up to his writing of the letter are fraught with ethical dilemmas.

In this assessment, you are asked to analyze the ethical aspects surrounding Captain Crozier’s decision to widely disseminate the letter.

Preparation

Thoroughly research the issues using the Internet and the articles provided in Resources. You may need to conduct additional research to support your analysis. 

As you can see by your research, there is a lot going on behind the scenes in this scenario. However, it is clear that the Captain of the USS Theodore Roosevelt was facing a difficult ethical situation and tried to find the best way to communicate his concerns. There are many questions that likely come to mind, such as:

What was the dilemma facing the Captain? How might he have weighed his decision?

Should the Captain have sent the message? Why or why not?

Was the content of the communication appropriate, taking into the consideration the recipient(s) of the letter? Did he distribute the letter for maximum effect?

What should he have done differently?

Did the Captain violate Navy ethical guidelines? Are his actions at odds with communication guidelines? Is that how he should be judged?

Was his punishment justified?

How do you think his crew felt? Is that relevant?

Instructions

Consider the Captain’s decision to send the letter, the manner in which the letter was sent, and the recipient(s) of the letter. Complete both parts of this assessment in a single Word document.

PART 1: ANALYZE THE SCENARIO

Analyze the ethical decision that the Captain faced as it relates to how he communicated his plea and in the context of his position. Consider the sender, receiver, message, and channel.

Analyze the primary failures and successes of the Captain’s communication strategy. Make sure to consider how the letter was distributed, the Captain’s possible intent, and the content of the letter. 

If this situation had occurred in the private sector and not the military, would the outcomes have been similar or different? Defend your reasoning. 

PART 2: WRITE A COMMUNICATION

Imagine that you were the commanding officer of another naval ship who had followed this sequence of events closely. Your ship’s Public Affairs Officer reports to you and is responsible for many of the ship’s external communications, and you are anxious to share your lessons learned from the USS Theodore Roosevelt situation. 

Send a communication to your Public Affairs Officer that conveys and re-enforces the primary lesson(s) learned from the incident on the USS Theodore Roosevelt. Be sure you focus on the actions of the Captain. The medium is your choice, but it is also very important, so state the medium you have chosen within your message and the reason you feel it is the most appropriate medium to use. Address possible reasons such as confidentiality, tone, convention, et cetera. 

Additional Requirements

Complete both parts of this assessment in a single Word document.

Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.

APA style and formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA style and formatting standards.
