OL 211 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric

Many businesses and organizations large enough to require human resource management (HRM) will need someone that not only understands core human resource (HR) responsibilities, but also understands the vision and mission of the organization.

To align the core HR requirements of an organization with its strategic plan, you will conduct an HRM review of an organization in a case study. Be creative in assembling each of the individual components or HR tools to the HRM review so that they would be consistent with and add value to the organization. Complete the HRM review that illustrates how each of the HR tools plays a role in an organization’s overall strategic plan.

The project is divided into four milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two, Three, Four, and Five. Your comprehensive proposal will be submitted in Module Seven.

This assessment addresses the following course outcomes:

·         Explain core concepts of human resource management common in today’s global workplace for promoting shared values throughout an organization

·         Describe human resource management practices and theories that align to and promote the organization’s vision, mission, and business

·         Illustrate the functions of a human resource manager for ensuring alignment with the organization’s strategic plan

·         Explain modern human resource concepts and principles that are essential in a changing work environment
