AU Restructuring the Firm and Best Practices to Safeguard Business Discussion

Two discussion posts:

Discussion One – Finalizing the Project

Consider the project scenario we have used during this term. As the project manager, you are in the finishing stage of the project, and it is apparent that one of the project’s deliverables will not be completed before the project is wrapped up.

Scenario: Imagine you are the HR director of a growing international staffing organization that services both North America and South America. The CEO has come to grips with the fact that the HR group, which is currently decentralized, is in need of restructuring to account for the expected increase in revenues. The CEO has asked for your opinion on how to best restructure the firm.

• What options do you have for this uncompleted deliverable?
• Provide an example of how poor escalation of a project problem can create additional problems.
• Explain your rationale

Discussion Two – Sum it Up and Next Steps

Please respond to the following:

• Assume you are an HR business partner and leader in a full-size HR department for your organization. Based on what you have learned about business employment law, what three or four concepts, tools, methods, or practices would you recommend as important best-practice approaches to help organizations implement better policies to safeguard against employment law violations? Be sure to explain why you made these particular choices.
