27 Nov Influences on Employee Relations

In the SLP project for this course you are asked to place yourself in the role of others. You might play the role of an employee, HR Manager, or another stakeholder in a private-sector organization. By the end of the course, you will have a better understanding of different HRM employee/union/employer relations responsibilities in the private-sector and how to maximize your department’s contributions to the organization.

Your assignment:

Look over the following list from the Overview page:

As you recall we began the course by considering many different internal and external factors that might impact relationships at work. For example:

· Employer Rights Company Policy & Work Rules

· Management Actions Wage and Salary Plans

· Employee Privacy Employee Benefits

· Supervisory Actions Work Design

· Economic Conditions Available Information

· Work Assignments Technology

· Employee/Co-worker Actions Performance Management

· Labor Unions Company Practices

· Laws & Regulations HRM Procedures

Write a magazine article draft (of at least 750 words) in which you select one internal or external factor from above and analyze how it can positively or negatively impact work relationships. (Look at HR Magazine in the library to see what a short magazine article might look like.) Be sure to include employer examples (stating employers by name). Also provide specific examples (for example, if you discuss “work assignments,” provide actual examples of work assignments on the job and how they could impact relationships with others).

Include 2 additional library sources (or more) to help strengthen your submission.

Upload your paper by the module due date.
