MGT 420 Benchmark Assignment Human Resources and Change
Assignment:
The major responsibilities of human resources
management are attracting, developing, and maintaining a quality workforce.
Review the RSPS (Rancho Solano)
case study (SEE ATTACHMENT) Recall that the board of directors at
RSPS has hired you as part of a consulting team to review the situation and
present your findings and recommendations. Refresh your memory on the issues in
the K-12 sector in general, as well as in the case of RSPS in particular, by
reading the case study again. Your next task is to identify three subsystems
that are in need of change in RSPS, as well as the people (human resources) you
would “attract, develop, and maintain” in order to effectively implement
change.
Based on the RSPS case, you will choose one
subsystem to change and write a 1,250-1,500 word paper in which you address the
following questions that pertain to the major human resource management
responsibilities and to change management. Strengthen your recommendations by
showing how your proposed changes are working in another successful
organization. In your comparison, consider referring to successful private,
charter, or public schools in Arizona. A list of recommended websites and
articles is provided at the end of this document for use in conjunction with
this assignment.
Address then following in your paper:
1.
What one major organizational
subsystem needs to be changed in RSPS? Justify your choice. How does it compare
to any of the successful private, charter, or public schools in Arizona?
2.
How will the subsystem change affect
the two other subsystems within RSPS that you have identified and how will you
realign the total system?
3.
Identify and explain how you would
ensure that the proposed change will satisfy any three stakeholders of RSPS?
4.
How should RSPS attract, develop, and maintain the workforce required
to bring about your proposed change?
1.
Choose at least one of the following
in your discussion about attracting a quality workforce to support the change:
human resource planning, recruitment, or selection.
2.
Choose at least one of the following
in your discussion about developing a quality workforce to support the change:
employee orientation, training and development, or performance appraisal.
3.
Choose at least one of the following
in your discussion about maintaining a quality workforce to support the change:
career development, work-life balance, compensation and benefits, employee
retention and turnover, or labor-management relations.
Integrate a faith-based or worldview-based
component in the paper and make a clear connection on how it informs the
groups’ management practices. (NOTE: Individuals all have a worldview, and
that worldview influences their decisions, values, and perceptions. It also
affects how they manage people, or think they should be managed. For this
assignment, this requirement relates to your worldview, not of RSPS.
Include at least four academic references to
support your position. One of them should directly relate to the company
discussed in your paper.
Prepare this assignment according to the
guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
An abstract is not required.
