HRM strategy resource management philosophy

Write a 4 page paper explaining your company’s human resource management philosophy (what they say or seem to believe about people) citing examples to support your observations. Remember, the HRM philosophy is greater the HR department. Execution of the HRM philosophy happens in the trenches. HR serves a significant role, but is not solely responsible for designing, implementing or applying the HRM philosophy.

Conduct a SWOT analysis to describe, analyze, and evaluate your organizations HRM strategy and how it could be more effective. Compare how your organization matches up to the best practices described in the text.

Discuss whether the HRM strategy it is truly a system with elements that fit together and support or complement each other, or if it is series of unconnected functions and programs. You should also address how the HRM system and strategy is integrated and/or supports the overall strategy of the organization, and discuss any suggestions you have for improvement.

Examine whether the stated philosophy is consistent with what you observe being practiced. Discuss how the company’s view or philosophy matches your own human resource management philosophy, and how that agreement or lack of agreement helps or hinders your performance.

Your paper should include a title page with your name, the title of your paper, the course number and the date you are submitting the paper. Also include references for sources cited in your paper. The title page and reference list do not count toward the number of pages for this assignment.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
