REVIEW QUESTIONS:
5. One of the main reasons for ineffective workplace diversity management is the
predisposition to pigeonhole employees, placing them in a different environment based
on their diversity profile. In the real world, diversity cannot be easily categorized and
those organizations that respond to human complexity by leveraging the talents of a
broad workforce will be the most effective in growing the businesses and their customer
base.
7. Internal recruiting is looking for people within an organization to fill job
opportunities. External recruiting is looking outside of the entity for people to fill
positions that needs filling. One advantage of internal recruiting is that the person is
familiar with the organization and its people, structure and product. On the other hand,
one disadvantage is that the person that is there may not get the respect from others since
they know the person and may be jealous of their promotion and that this person may not
be able to separate past alliances from the old position to the new responsibilities of the
job. External recruiting is to bring new blood and a fresh perspective on operation, there
are no old alliances or bad habits, people will not have a history to perhaps guilt the
individual with nor will this person be bound by such relationships. However the new
hire will have to gain the respect of the employees that know how things work. There
maybe jealousy and disrespect for the new hire though and things can be made very
difficult for them as they are new.
8. Abstract. A principal has to choose among several agents to fulfill a task and then
provide the right incentives to perform it. Agents do not know how competent they are
for the task. It is shown that the principal should propose a contract that leads the agents
to gather information about their competence prior to signing the contract.
9. So that they could understand what is important to the business, what key business
measures exist and what can be done as for the HRM part.
14. The self-evaluation or the draft of an appraisal form provides staff the opportunity to
review their accomplishments and to actively participate in the evaluation and goal
setting process. This reinforces the concept of performance management as a shared
responsibility. This also serves as a reminder for you of accomplishments you may have
forgotten and helps you to determine if you are both on the same page regarding
performance, and if not, enables you to prepare to address the differences.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
1. Very accurately in fact, as they have all these seminars, trainings and what-have-you’s
even before they get to the position they are in now.
3. Yes. Employee benefits typically refers to retirement plans, health life insurance, life
insurance, disability insurance, vacation, employee stock ownership plans, etc. Benefits
are increasingly expensive for businesses to provide to employees, but in doing so; the
business can keep the potentially better workers that can contribute the most in making
the business as profitable as possible.
