There are 2 Parts - Part 1 -500 words and Part 2 -500 words ( respond to 3 students work 166 words per student please read the instructions carefully) Part 1 ( 500 words )( see kce week 1 Shelley Mcmaster file) Key Concept Exercise: What happens when HR policy fails? Policies are human constructs, and therefore not infallible. There can be many reasons why HR policies do not serve an organisation as well as they should, from issues with alignment to poor implementation. HR leaders who strive to design and implement good policy can learn a great deal from ineffective policies. In this Key Concept Exercise, you will draw from your experience to identify and analyze a ‘failed’ HR policy that may have negatively impacted you, your co-workers or the organization as a whole. To prepare for this Key Concept Exercise: Read the required Learning Resources for Week 1. Identify an example of an HR policy that was detrimental to an organization you know well. This should not be a policy for which you were responsible – ideally, it will be a policy that impacted you or people you know as employees of the organization. To complete this Key Concept Exercise: In approximately 500 words, analyze why the policy you identified might have been ineffective. Consider alignment with business strategy, alignment with organizational culture, implementation issues or other issues. In formulating your Key Concept Exercise, consider the following questions: Was the policy detrimental to the staff as well as the business, or did it favour one over the other? Was the policy implemented as it was intended, or was something ‘lost in translation’? Would the policy have been more effective in an organisation with a different type of culture? Would the policy have been more effective in an organisation with different business goals or strategy? part 2 -respond to 3 students 166 per student see file mark student 1 Post 3-5 replies to your classmates’ posts in the Collaboration Forum by: Synthesising general lessons about the strategic significance of HR policy for an organisation, as illustrated by examples of how a business can be impacted when policy fails Offering an alternative explanation for the analyses offered by your classmates Asking insightful questions about your classmates’ interpretations of ideas from the Learning Resources Extending the discussion into new but relevant areas
