Discuss HR Policies that Fit Structure
For this assignment, you will conduct an Internet search to identify the “Best Places to Work.” Create a chart by inserting a table on Microsoft Word where you will list the five best places to work on one column and another five worst place to work. Then, select your favorite company from the list and write a report about its work environment that contributed to its success by focusing on the human resource management practices followed by your selected company. An interesting website to help you research your favorite company with live reviews by actual employees about their human resource policies can be found by searching online Glassdoor – Best Places to Work.
On that website, you will find a list of top companies. Choose your company, and then press the button “see reviews.” You will directly be transferred to a website containing reviews from actual employees. See the items circled in red below for further guidance.
Alt Text:
· List and discuss at least five human resource practices followed by your company that made this company a favorite place of work for its employees. For example, was it the financial pay, benefits, or training?
· List and discuss five practices followed by the company. Again, refer to the website above for real testimonies from real employees themselves and reference them in your text.
· Discuss those practices in general and your beliefs on how they could positively influence employee attitudes.
Finally, conclude with a discussion about organizational structure. In particular, this assignment will address the following:
· Start with an introduction of your chosen company.
· List at least five actual testimonials/review by employees from the company that made this company one of the best places to work.
· Discuss the reviews listed above, including your thoughts and impressions of the human resource management practices at that company and their importance in improving attitudes at the workplace.
· Conclude with your personal thoughts about the type of organizational structure that is likely to be followed by your company based on the impression you got from the reviews (i.e., bureaucratic, decentralized).
