o Under each priority, describe a minimum of three action items the
organization could take to implement each HR priority (9 steps minimum).
Provide a rationale for your plan and cite your textbook.
• Human Resource Management (The role of Human Recourse Professional)
o Succession Management
o Change Management
o Downsizing
o Restructuring and Outsourcing
o Mergers, Acquisition and Joint-venture.
2. I would recommend that you consider an original company (stay away from a
hypothetical scenario) and connect with a HR of the company you have selected and
get as much as information you can collect. Please provide the details of the HR and a
screen shot of a thank you note to the HR for their time.
3. Prepare a 20-minute presentation on your report. Each group member is required to
present. If your group does not present, you will receive a zero on your assignment
(even if any member is absent). Make sure we have Audio and Video (mandatory)
working.
4. Your final submission and presentation should be professionally formatted and suitable
for a business audience. You are encouraged to research examples of strategic plans and
HR plans for inspiration. Your plan should be easy to read and visually appealing.
5. Ahead of the submission, conduct research on the organization and your HR (if
available through LinkedIn and other public sources). Not only will this help you
provide a background for your report and presentation, but it is also helpful for keeping
you on topic and well organised. You can add the questions you asked to the HR in
Appendix of your report.
