HRMT 101 Discussions: The days of working on an individual basis in the workplace are over. Positions that are not involved in a team, committee, or work group at some point during the year are extremely rare. Unless formal training is provided for a team, it is common to find dysfunction within a team. Based on your readings this week (see Content – Week 6 – Reading and Resources) Respond to the following question in your post and include the question in your post in a Q and A format:
What positive measures should organizations take to ensure that employees are prepared to take on the day-to-day human relations communication challenges associated with working as a member of a team? SENIOR 499 Post what you learned that you did not know before reading the lesson for this week pertaining to APA formatting and grammar rules.
Next, discuss a grammar error or an APA citation error that you wish to draw to your classmates’ attention that really stuck out to you. One example may be a discussion about the use of quotes in proper APA format.
Lastly, discuss why it may be a good idea to have someone proofread your paper before submitting it for grading. MGMT 100 Yes, another exercise in Human Relations, here it is the manager with a disgruntled employee. We see disgruntled employees in the military, civil service, and business world. You cannot escape them, but this class may help you think about ways to deal with them. This week’s reading assignment should be enjoyable, and your peer replies will often be fascinating. Enjoy!
1. You have just been hired by Yummy Juicy, a national corporation selling organic juices at major retail stores. You have been hired as the West Coast Distribution Manager. After about five weeks on the job, you get the following email: Sir/Ma’am, You are hurting this company. You have continued to try to force all of us to change our ways and follow procedures that are no good. I am not sure why you got the job. You trained us on these new, “better” procedures, which wasted hours of our time. Don’t bother to reply to this email; I know nothing will change. R/ Bob (disgruntled employee)
2. Complete the following: a. Develop an email response. Use the three-step process for being assertive. Bob is one of your first-line supervisors and has been with the company for 20 years. Mary, another supervisor, tells you that Bob is just trying to bully you and that most other supervisors love the new processes. (I realize many of you would call Bob into your office, but for this assignment, you must generate the email). b. Do you find it difficult to be assertive in your own life (personal and professional)? Why or why not? c. What are the risks of being assertive with Bob? Make sure you utilize common course terminology when explaining the risks.
3. Mary comes to you later in the day and says, “Boss, Bob is trying to negotiate with you; he has a target in mind and is not flexible, so his limit is not much different than his target.” Explain what Mary is talking about (explain, in your OWN words, the concepts of targets and limits during negotiations).
