Case Study: Strategic Human Resource Management
An effective training should fulfill the needs of trainees. To do so, the training should have a “doable” objective that relates to the needs of the trainees. Creating effective objectives is the first task toward creating an effective training. Objectives help chart out an effective training program and also help evaluate the success of the training program. Objectives have a threefold parameter of evaluation: the feasibility of the task, the condition in which the task will be doable, and the quality of the task. For an effective training, the objectives should define all three parameters. In this Assignment, you will set effective objectives for the recommended training program. Ensure that all the parameters are addressed.
To prepare for this Assignment, review the Needs Assessment Case Study: Strategic Human Resource Management and the Week 2 Assignment Template, provided in this week’s Learning Resources.
Create a 3- to 4-page (750- to 1,000-word) paper that addresses the following:
I: ORGANIZATION ANALYSIS (“Where” is there a need for improvement within the college?)
a. What college-wide changes have occurred or are anticipated to occur? How have these changes affected faculty performance?
b. What evidence is there to suggest that a “problem” exists?
c. In what way are these changes conflicting with the college's original organizational structure, culture, and/or climate? What type of data should be collected and analyzed in order to identify these conflicts?
d. What recommendations would you make to alleviate these conflicts?
II: JOB/TASK ANALYSIS (“What” tasks are in need of improvement?)
1. What job-wide changes have occurred or are anticipated to occur with respect to faculty members? How have these changes affected faculty performance?
2. In what way are these changes conflicting with the faculty members’ previous job expectations and responsibilities? What type of data should be collected and analyzed in order to identify these constraints?
3. What recommendations would you make to alleviate these conflicts?
III: PERSON/PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS (“Who” needs to improve?)
Do faculty members need any training? If so, what type of training is needed, and how would you conduct it?
IV: DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES BASED ON ASSESSMENT ANALYSIS
a. Write three concise objectives to be achieved based on the needs analysis. Each statement must include the following components:
b. Desired outcome: What should be expected to occur?
c. Conditions: Under what conditions is the outcome expected to occur?
d. Standards: What criteria signify that the outcome is acceptable?
You should use APA format:
