planned human resources activities and deployments intended to enable an
organization to meet its goals. Further, strategic HRM, also consists of many
components including aligning the utilization of human
resources with the mission, vision, values and culture of the organization, as
well as branding, competitive advantage, organizational development, diversity
management, organizational structure, and evidence-based HRM.

AMP 434 Week 2 Strategic
HRM Plan Benchmark Assessment
Details:
Write a high-level strategic human
resource management plan (3-4 pages).
The purpose of
this assignment is to simulate the thought process managers use to connect unit
goals with organizational strategy. The students are not expected to produce a
detailed strategic plan (which in actual organizations can exceed 100 pages).
Rather, the expectation is that students demonstrate
consideration of the multiple complexities involved in strategic planning.
The assignment is centered on the
strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) model of analysis, and
the specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and
time-bound (SMART) model of goal setting.
Access the GCU Library, relevant course
materials, Internet resources, and the HRM Webliography to research SWOT
analysis, SMART goals, and models of strategic proposals.
Access your Scenario Generator Report, which
includes a description of the organization, points to reflect on, a SWOT
analysis, and directions for a SMART goals report. Use this information to
write the Strategic HRM Proposal.
The Strategic HRM Proposal should be in
the form of a professional report. There is no
single, correct manner of presentation. Creative thinking is expected. The
formatting is secondary to the content and application of knowledge. However,
the proposal should be organized in a readily comprehensible manner that conveys a thorough understanding of course objectives.
Graphics, bulleted lists, tables, and charts are acceptable. Include the
following:
·
Introduction and conclusion that make relevant connections
to course objectives.
·
Summary of the organizational description
included in your Scenario
Generator Report.
·
Reflection and application of each point included in
your Scenario Generator Report (two
to three fully developed sentences per item).
While APA format is not required for the
body of this assignment, solid academic writing is
expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA
documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in
the Student Success Center.
Instructors will be using a grading
rubric to grade the assignments. It is recommended
that learners review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment in order to
become familiar with the assignment criteria and expectations for successful
completion of the assignment.
The Strategic HRM Proposal is the first of four assignments. The organizational
profile developed for the Strategic HRM Proposal by the HRM Scenario Generator will
be used in the remaining three assignments.
You are not required to submit this
assignment to Turnitin, unless otherwise directed by
your instructor. If so directed, refer to the Student Success Center for
directions. Only Word documents can be submitted to Turnitin.
