Module 1 - SLP

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 2- to 3-page paper in which you select one internal or external factor from above and analyze how it can positively or negatively impact work relationships. Be sure to bring in employer examples (stating employers by name). Also provide specific examples (for example, if you discuss “work assignments” provide actual examples of work assignments and how they could impact the workplace). 

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