HRM635 Grand Canyon Benchmark Acquiring Employees & Needs Assessment

 

 

During this course, you will develop materials that support the human   resource process from acquiring, developing, and leveraging on   employee strengths. This project is broken into four separate   assignments due in Topics 2, 3, 5, and 7. While you are only required   to submit each assignment in its respective topic, you will submit a   reflection assignment that provides a brief overview of the learning   outcomes from your assignment feedback.

In this assignment, you are conducting a needs assessment and   developing two job descriptions for your current organization or a   preapproved organization that you have access to interact with, in   order to complete this assignment. If you are not currently in an   organization, please inform your instructor of the organization you   will use to complete this project. They must approve your selection   prior to beginning your assignment and you must have the ability to   observe employees and functions within that organization.

Needs Assessment

Observe and assess the state of your current organization, or   another pre-selected organization. A needs assessment is necessary to   identify areas for potential growth, both at the employee and   . If you are not in a position to look   holistically at your organization, you can focus on a department or   team within the organization. Use the “Needs Assessment   Matrix” resource to complete your needs assessment. You are   required to analyze required functions, department or employment   needs, jobs or tasks, and current trainings in order to complete your   matrix and prepare for the next part of this assignment.

Job Descriptions

Once your needs assessment is complete, you are required to select   an existing position in your organization and develop a one-page   detailed job description for that position that is informed by the   findings of the needs assessment. It is recommended that you take the   time to conduct a job analysis and observe current employees in the   selected positions to accurately depict the knowledge, skills,   abilities, and other characteristics that must be incorporated into   the job description. If you are unable to observe, do your best to   accurately depict the specific functions of the job. Incorporate any   new job roles you feel should be added to the position based on your   findings. Make sure the job description is based on the needs and   available resources of the organization, and that it adheres to all   applicable labor laws.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA   Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to   beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for   successful completion.
