HUMAN RESOURCE POLICY PROJECT

HUMAN RESOURCE POLICY PROJECT: RESEARCH PAPER INSTRUCTIONS In a research paper, provide researched rationale for the nature and substance of your 4 selected, distinct policies.

HUMAN RESOURCE POLICY PROJECT

This paper is to be reflective of an academic research paper. The research paper must address the reasoning and/or rationale for the inclusion of the selected policy elements in a policy manual.

The selected policies must correctly address employment legislation pertinent to the stated size of the company (15–25 employees). In elaborating on the rationale, you may want to consider the following questions:

Why should these elements be in a policy manual? What laws or principles mandate an organization follow these guidelines? What cases have established precedent for this issue to be addressed clearly in an organization’s employee policy manual? Support your rationale with (at minimum) the 10 scholarly sources used in your annotated bibliography in addition to the textbook and the Bible. Remember, government websites and previous/current court cases are useful but will not be included in the scholarly reference requirement.

The paper must be at least 1,750 words, in addition to the cover page, the abstract, and the references page. It must be written in current APA format. Papers submitted with less than the minimum word count will not receive full credit in this area of the grading rubric. Following are some examples of HR policy topics.

These are only examples. You may identify/select other topics that would be relevant and appropriate for a general employee policy manual/handbook. • Dress Code • Technology Use • Code of Conduct • Confidentiality • Harassment • Benefits (This can be more specific to areas such as paid time off, health care benefits, and so forth.) • Training Opportunities/Expectations

Salary equity at SAFECORP

FINAL COMPUTER ASSIGNMENT FOR STAT 1: Salary equity at SAFECORP

 

1. Overview You have been asked to provide statistical expertise in a lawsuit alleging discrimination against minority employees at Safecorp, a major banking institution. One of the issues at stake is salary equity. Your clients, the plaintiffs’ lawyers, have supplied a random sample of records from 474 employees (dataset = safecorp_data.sav). For each sample employee, you have this information:

 Employee’s current annual salary (in dollars) (annual_sal)  Number of years working for Safecorp (yr_work)  Employee’s position at Safecorp (position)  Employee’s minority status (minority)  Employee’s sex (sex)  Highest grade completed in formal education (highest) Your task is to address the following questions in a brief memo to the legal team: • Are salaries for minority employees lower than those for majority employees? • What characteristics are associated with salary? • Do minority and majority employees differ with respect to the characteristics that are associated with salary? • Do differences in characteristics of minority and majority employees “explain” the lower salaries of minority employees? Begin your work by thinking about why we are recommending that you use these four questions to guide your data analysis. Then, as you analyze the data, stop periodically and reflect on what you have found. Reflect (and re-reflect) on your findings until you see a pattern in the results, or a “story”. Tell that story in your memo. 2. POINTS TO CONSIDER Your audience Write at a level that this audience can appreciate. You are addressing people who are familiar with basic numerical concepts (averages, percents). However, most are probably not aware of concepts like hypothesis testing, regression coefficients, and so on – after all, you didn’t know about these until you took Stat 1. Such technical terms do not belong in your memo, unless you also explain them in plain English. A big part of your assignment is to convey your findings, using words that your audience can understand. Tips on organizing and writing a memo of this kind Typically, memos of this sort are organized as follows: 1. Introduction. What are you going to talk about? Why are these issues important? (Note that because this is a statistics class rather than a policy course, this will be just one short paragraph.) 2. Methods: What is your data source for addressing these issues? Very briefly, how did you analyze the data? 3. Findings: What did you find? (This section will be the bulk of your memo). Here are a few tips Do  Use this section to tell the story that was revealed in your analysis  Highlight the most important and interesting findings. Tell important things first, and save details for last (or omit them altogether)  Use bolding and bullets as needed to separate elements of the story, as needed  Draw your reader’s attention to important trends in the tables. For example, “As shown in Table 1, Group 1 and Group 2 differed on the following characteristics…”. Do not  Bury important findings in minutiae  Use space in your “Findings” section to recount every statistic in your table(s). In other words, be selective! 4. Conclusions: How do your findings address the question that you posed in the introduction? What do you conclude? Briefly, what are the limitations of your analysis? Deliverables Your memo should be 3 pages double-spaced, with a 12 point font. Adhere strictly to the page limit — your audience needs to be briefed briefly! You will submit two appendices to your memo. These won’t count toward your page limit. 1. Tables and/or figures. You must include at least one good table that illustrates your findings. You may also include figures. Tables and figures shouldn’t be SPSS output — they should be clearly constructed displays of information in plain English, accessible to your client audience. Additional guidance on creating good tables and figures will be presented in class readings, and discussed in lab sessions. Do not go overboard on tables and figures. Do not present redundant information, or information that is better conveyed in simple text. 2. Annotated SPSS output for your instructor’s review. This is just like the material that you have been attaching to your computer assignments. The annotations can be machine or handwritten on the output, and should guide your instructor in finding the analyses that you describe in your memo. For example, in your memo, you might have a sentence like “Roses are exceptionally thorny. While x% of roses have thorns, only y% of ferns do”. In your annotated output, jot something like: “Percent with thorns: ferns vs. roses”. This will help your instructor to see where you got your information. To avoid generating lengthy printout, you should limit the scale of your SPSS output. Your lab instructor will provide instructions for doing this. Additional points on style and content In preparing any memo that includes statistical data, keep these in mind: 1. Round numbers to a user-friendly number of digits. For example, “The average height of women is 65.3 inches”, not “65.357 inches”. Readers can’t absorb numbers if there are too many of them. 2. Don’t just talk about statistical significance. Give specific statistics that your reader can evaluate. For example if you want to highlight that you found a difference in height between men and women, don’t just tell your reader “There is a statistically significant difference between men and women”. Rather, say something like “Men average 68 inches in height; women average 65 inches. This difference is statistically significant.” 3. Style matters, both in written presentation and in the presentation of numbers. Be thoughtful, and be prepared to revise and re-think. Important note. Doing the final assignment takes planning, time and concentration. Many students report that completing the assignment is the best learning experience in the course. You should allocate significant time to it, starting in Week 10 of the course. Please note the following: • Your lecture instructor and your lab instructor will orient you to the assignment. • You may work with your fellow students, but this is not a group project. You must run your own analysis, write your own memo, and create your own tables. • Final assignments written by prior students in Stat 1 *may not* be used as sources for writing your final assignment memo. • Problem-solving is a big part of the exercise. Lab & lecture instructors will field *specific* questions that are limited in scope. “How should I do this part of the analysis?” will not be answered. “I’m thinking of using procedure X to answer question Y because I believe that the assignment is asking me to examine relationship Z. Does this make sense?” is an appropriate question. • Working and re-working the presentation of your findings is also a big part of the exercise. However, lab & lecture instructors cannot review your written drafts. • Please do not ask your tutors for assistance with this assignment. Their responsibility is to handle questions related to the lecture/homework.

Paychex company

Paychex company

Your final assignment requires that you produce a fundamental opinion on your stock (paychex), and a separate technical opinion as well. Part 1: Fundamental opinion Formulate a concise, well-supported and well-organized fundamental opinion (Buy/Hold/Sell) on your stock, based on information gathered in the first four assignments and any other research that you choose to do. Your analysis must include (but is not limited to) the following: • Whether the stock is cyclical or defensive based on company/industry characteristics and Beta, and how that is relevant to your opinion given the economic and market environment.

 

• An assessment of the company’s prospects, based on your company/industry research and consensus analyst earnings estimates. • At least one valuation method that you applied in assignment #3. (This means either constant-growth or two-stage DDM, not the simple CAPM required return calculation that you did in assignment 2).

You need not reproduce the valuation work done in assignment 3, but rather simply refer to the result. (If you did the DDM valuations incorrectly, you should correct them and use the corrected result in this assignment.) Part 1 should be 2-3 pages (double-spaced) in length. You will not be graded on your opinion (we won’t know if you’re right until well after the course is over!), but rather on the analysis and thought that goes into your opinion, the extent to which it is supported by your research, and the clarity and organization of your arguments.

 

Part 2: Technical Opinion Formulate a brief technical opinion on your stock using at least two well-recognized technical indicators of your choosing (these may be RSI and moving average) Provide a chart of each indicator and a brief (1-2 sentences) relevant commentary on what the indicator is telling us about the stock’s prospects, in your view.

Business Analysis Report

Description This Portfolio Project emphasizes assessing and integrating project requirements in relation to user needs and organizational goals. Review the PMI case study about Refurbishing Heathrow Airport Terminal 1 with an emphasis on how you would assess the problem and integrate a solution in a different way. Project Management Institute. (2013). Changing the face at the busiest airport in the world through project management. Retrieved from http://www.pmi.org/business-solutions/~/media/PDF/Case%20Study/Heathrow_Airport_Case_Study_New.ashx Your task is to develop a 10- to 11-page report that includes the following sections and outlines your strategies for addressing the problems outlined in the Heathrow Airport Terminal 1 project. I. Introduction (1 page) II. Definition of the Business Analysis Process (1 page) III. Information Flow Graphic (1 page) IV. Explanation/Description of Graphic (1 age) V. Define the Project (1 page) VI. Data Collection (1 page) VII. Strategies/Theory used to Reach Conclusion (1 page) VIII. Justification/Explanation for Risk Analysis (1 Page) IX. Risk Mitigation Process (1 page) X. Conclusion (1 page) Components of the Project The introduction and conclusion are probably best written last, as the content of these sections depends greatly on what you write in the body of the report. The second section, Explanation of the Business Analysis Process, is a good thing to write first. In this section you will explain your definition of the business analysis process. You were presented with at least one other definition in the course textbook and lectures, but this is your opportunity to come up with your own definition and explain how you got there. This is also a good place to bring in references from other scholarly sources. The third section, Project Analysis Graphic, requires you to create a graphic that represents your business analysis process. Remember that you designed a graphic in Module 1, and you are welcome to use that graphic as a starting point—or you can start from scratch. Be sure to use the feedback that you received from your instructor when designing the model for this final report. The fourth section is where you explain your thinking and include what makes your model unique compared to others. In Section V you will define the problem in the Heathrow Airport Terminal 1 example. As we know, without identifying what we want to change it is difficult to measure success, and so defining the problem is critical. In Section VI you will describe the data that you will need to collect to ensure your project is successful. You will need to cover not only what data you would like to have, but also how you would collect/retrieve that data. Section VII requires you to explain which strategies and/or theories you used in formulating your solution. This is another section of the report where it would make sense to include academic references. Here, the project is defined, and collecting data for the important facets of the project are completed and explained. This taps into your ability to defend the validity and reliability of your analytical model. The final two sections are related to risk. Here you will justify the end results of the analytical processes, addressing any significant risk encountered along the way, and provide an explanation as to how any risk would be mitigated. After you have written the body of the report, you can develop the introduction where you provide an overview of the sections and your findings, and a conclusion where you recap the process and describe any limitations or difficulties that you came across. Be sure to properly organize your writing and include an introduction, headings / subheadings for the body of your work, an analysis andrecommendations (if applicable), a conclusion, and a list of references. Include at least five scholarly references in addition to the course textbook.
