Assignment Task: Consider how human resources help further the vision and values of a company by answering these questions:
1. Imagine you are a CEO of a company whose human resources department is seen primarily as administrative in nature without any kind of strategic role in terms of hiring employees. How would you transform human resources to be the driving force behind what makes a winning team (Welch, J., 2013)?
2. What kinds of changes would need to be made to empower human resources employees to play a more strategic role in hiring the best employees?
3. In what practical way have you seen human resources either effectively or ineffectively impact strategic hiring decisions in your workplace or previous workplace, by being a "pastor" and "parent"?
