 Course Project Scenario

Savannah Engineering, Inspection and Insurance Company

 Savannah Engineering, Inspection and Insurance Company (SEIIC) is one of America’s oldest insurance companies specializing in equipment inspection and insurance for companies in the manufacturing, transportation, and energy sectors. Founded in 1873 and named for the first steam-powered ship to cross the Atlantic, SEIIC has grown to become a global leader in the application of engineering principles to safety and risk management. With more than 4,500 employees in 14 principal offices and 55 field locations around the world, SEIIC stands ready to meet industry needs on any continent.

 More than 50% of the SEIIC employees have an engineering or technical background. Accordingly, college recruiting and training are major features of the HR program. Although SEIIC has been known as a great place to work, turnover/retention issues need constant attention in the highly competitive labor market for technical personnel. In the past, the organization was also known for outstanding customer service and for building long-term relationships with its many business partners. However, this image has slipped in recent years as the organization and market have undergone significant change and SEIIC has struggled to respond in effective ways. As a result, SEIIC has decided to undertake a complete updating of its human resources management practices.

To accomplish this effort, the company wants to investigate emerging trends in HR and to identify best practices for major HR processes.

 To accomplish this investigation, the organization has divided the project into five components as follows:

· Week 1: Exploration of the domestic organizational environment including economic, legal, cultural, global, and technological trends

· Week 2: Trends and best practices in recruiting and staffing

· Week 3: Trends and best practices in training, performance management, and career management

· Week 4: Trends and best practices in compensation and benefits

· Week 5: Trends and best practices in international HR management

For this paper, assess at least two major trends that are likely to affect SEIIC for each of the following areas:

· Economic and financial

· Legal and political

· Social and cultural

· Global and technological

· Submit your three- to four-page paper in APA style.

B)  Sufficiently supports = use of 2 different intext cited sources per section. C)  Weakly supported credible sources used = 1 intext cited source D)  Lacked credible sources = No sources intext cited 1.    Research needs to go beyond the course textbook or course lecture notes. 2.    Sources published, authored, and less than 6 years old. 3.    APA guidelines must be applied to intext cite information where used in the response.

Example1: A response has no intext citations but does have a reference section will be penalized in each section and graded as “Lacked credible sources” – as this demonstrates lack of APA application and potential plagiarism – as information was obtained from sources but no credit given to the authors.   Example2, the scope section can be written simply as a scope statement. However, to use information from credible sources to support the response: information can be used from sources that support scope importance, what it is, how it benefits a project, negative effects if no scope is developed.
