HRM/300T: Fundamentals Of Human Resource
Management Week 1 Apply Assignment
As the HR director of Clearwater Electronics, you know it is important for HR to
be as close as possible to where the people and problems are located. Which
reason best explains why it is important for HR to know the line managers and
their needs?
Not Because line managers are responsible for the health and safety of their
employees, it is necessary for HR to provide training to prevent accidents.
You are the HR director for Clearwater Electronics and have been invited to the
organization's yearly strategic goal-setting meeting. You started with the
company six months ago, so this is the first time you have been invited to attend.
Why do you think it important you attend this meeting, and how do you think HR
can best contribute to the organization?
It is important to attend to better understand the organization's strategic position in the
market and align human resources with that strategy.
Clearwater Electronics has an employee recruitment and retention goal of 90
percent. How does HR planning best help the company meet or exceed its
employee recruitment and retention goal?
HR planning helps the organization know how many employees the organization needs
as well as what type of employees to hire.
Clearwater Electronics now has 1,600 employees and an HR department with
several employees. However, it was not always that large. In its second year, the
company was growing steadily and hired its 40th employee. At that time, the CEO
, decided to hire an HR generalist to manage all human resources functions. Why
was this decision the best thing for the company at the time?
The CEO believed HR was important to the strategic mission of the firm, and the
company needed someone qualified to handle a wide variety of HR responsibilities.
The results of unethical behavior in a business can be catastrophic, both
financially and in reputation. Clearwater Electronics currently has a solid
reputation as an ethical organization and wants to maintain that reputation. Top
management has tasked the HR department to reinforce ethical behavior
consistently throughout the company. Given that responsibility, why is it
especially important for the HR professionals themselves to behave ethically?
Because HR professionals in positions of authority are responsible for creating and
sustaining a positive work environment, it is important that they always behave ethically.
Clearwater Electronics wants to strategically attract new talent to the organization
to support future growth. Why is it important for the HR director to work with top
management to improve the firm's recruiting system?
Because the HR director is responsible for the firm's talent management, it is important
to work with top management to ensure the recruiting strategy meets the firm's overall
needs and attracts top talent.
The HR recruiting specialist and line managers at Clearwater Electronics work
closely together when hiring new employees. The line managers are ultimately
responsible for the final selection of a new employee, but the HR recruiting
specialist serves an important role by providing information about potential
