Data.An

Need help with the following case study*, please read below. Also, you have to read the Case study 2 attached* in order to get fully understanding.

M Burke has recently joined the PLE management team to oversee production operations. He has reviewed the types of data that the company collects and has assigned you the responsibility to be her chief analyst in the coming weeks. To prepare for this task, you have decided to review each worksheet and determine whether the data were gathered from internal sources, external sources, or have been generated from special studies. Also, you need to know whether the measures are categorical, ordinal, interval, or ratio.

  • Prepare a report summarizing the characteristics of the metrics used in each worksheet.

M. Burke has asked you to do some preliminary analysis of the data in the Performance Lawn Equipment database.

  • First, she would like you to edit the worksheets Dealer Satisfaction and End-User Satisfaction to display the total number of responses to each level of the survey scale across all regions for each year.
  • Second, she wants a count of the number of failures in the worksheet Mower Test.
  • Next, M Burke has provided you with prices for PLE products for the past 5 years:

Year          Mower Price ($)         Tractor Price ($)

2010                 150                            3,250

2011                 175                            3,400

2012                 180                            3,600

2013                 185                            3,700

2014                 190                            3,800

  • Create a new worksheet in the database to compute gross revenues by month and region, as well as worldwide totals, for each product using the data in Mower Unit Sales and Tractor Unit Sales.
  • Finally, he wants to know the market share for each product and region based on the PLE and industry sales data in the database.
  • Create and save these calculations in a new worksheet. Summarize all your findings in a report to Mr. Burke.

Assignment Overview

From this Module’s Background readings, we learn that the strongest companies view employees as assets rather than liabilities. They do this in many ways, such as through professional development opportunities, benefits offered, pay scale adjustments, and employee engagement initiatives.

Managers also show their employees that they are assets by the way the employees are treated. If managers do not treat their employees as valued employees, employee satisfaction might decrease and negatively impact the organization’s success.

With that in mind, how does a company know it needs to adjust its culture to become a sustainable, compassionate employer in the 21st century? Smart management teams track metrics that indicate a company’s overall health, including its level of employee satisfaction. Unless steps are taken to improve employee satisfaction, however, metrics will be wasted and the opportunity for gain will be lost.

So, what types of metrics are important in HR and what are they useful for? To answer this question, please read the following articles regarding HR metrics:

Jessee, T. (n.d.). 48 HR KPIs & metric examples (and how to implement them). ClearPoint Strategy. Retrieved from https://www.clearpointstrategy.com/human-capital-kpis-scorecard-measures/

Case Assignment

After reading the required background material, prepare an essay in which you identify five key performance metrics to measure employee satisfaction.

You should address the following questions about each of the five metrics you selected to measure employee engagement/satisfaction:

*Discuss three reasons why employee engagement/satisfaction metrics might rise or fall.

*What steps should a company take to improve employee engagement/satisfaction?

*In addition to the three background readings listed above, find two other sources from the Trident Online Library to support your essay.

Case Assignment

For this first Case Assignment, your task is to apply some of the leadership development tools that you read about in the background materials to your own personal development. As a warning, this assignment as well as several other assignments will involve taking a lot of surveys. Of course surveys are not the only tools used in leadership development, but they are one of the most popular tools and many leadership coaching companies charge a lot of money for the surveys that they’ve developed. Fortunately some of the surveys discussed in the background readings are available for free. The purpose of taking the quizzes are both for use in your leadership development, and also to get a taste of what various leadership coaches out there are doing and charging their clients for.

Make sure to thoroughly review the background readings before writing your paper. The main tasks in this assignment are A) read the background materials, B) take some self-assessment quizzes, and C) write up a self-development plan based on what you’ve read about in this module and your score on the quizzes. More specifically, write a four to five page paper addressing the following questions:

*Take the Values in Action (VIA) Inventory of Strengths that was discussed in the background materials. This instrument is available for free but you need to register: https://www.viacharacter.org/survey/account/registerIf you can find a free variation of the Strengthsfinder survey online you take this one instead, but the “official” Strengthsfinder survey from Gallup is not free. Report and discuss your results. Were your results surprising or what you expected to find? [One half to one page in length]

*Now take the Emotional Intelligence Self-Assessment in Chapter 3 of Sterret (2006) as well as the Leadership Assessment in this chapter. Discuss how you scored on each of the different elements of Emotional Intelligence as well as your Leadership Assessment. Report and discuss your results. Were your results surprising or what you expected to find? [One half to one page in length]

*Now we get to the main heart of the assignment. Based on what you have learned in this module and the quizzes you took above, give some specific examples of how you will improve your leadership skills. Your examples should be based on both your results on the two quizzes, and from the required readings. Make sure to cite at least two of the required readings in your answers, and support your answers with specific results from the quizzes that you took. [One and a half to two pages]

*Finally, discuss the main limitations of the quizzes you took and the concepts you read about for this module. What information is missing from the quizzes you took? What additional important aspects of leadership development are not covered in this material or quizzes? What else do you think you need to know about yourself in order to improve your leadership skills? [One page]

Role in Managing Human Capital

Today’s Human Capital Management approach perceives employees as assets (human capital) whose current value can be measured with metrics and whose future value is also measurable and can be enhanced through investing in the development of employees.

At the same time, the HR department must show compassion for the various situations in which employees find themselves.

Small organizations often have team members performing multiple HR roles, such as benefits administration, recruitment, selection, payroll, and employee development/training. Normally, larger companies have at least one person in each of these areas. If a company’s HR team is too small for its number of employees, it is likely that employee dissatisfaction will rise because of delayed response times regarding resolution of issues. For example, an HR manager may not understand the timeliness needed for hiring replacement employees for various departments. If that happens, improvement in communications among departments is needed. If a new employee must wait for a busy HR staff member to update insurance records, filing deadlines could be missed.

Legal Compliance

All organizations, however, must follow employment laws and regulations related to discriminatory practices, retaliation for whistle blowing, or other serious issues.

This SLP assignment looks at an interesting contrast between company ideals and actual practices. For example, we are looking ahead to how employees should be viewed as assets. First, watch the following video:

ADP. (2015, March 3). Rethink human capital management [Video file]. Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ipxtwod-W9o.

Let’s compare this concept with an adverse management practice—utilizing children as workers. Think about companies that do business overseas, and more specifically ones who use child labor. Phillpott (2019) explains that the following U.S. companies overseas still use child labor: Nestle, Philip Morris, Microsoft, Apple, and Hershey’s.

Phillpott (2019). 10 Companies that Still Use Child Labor. Retrieved from https://www.careeraddict.com/10-companies-that-still-use-child-labor

For this SLP 1 assignment, consider what you have learned about the “Human Capital Management” approach to Human Resource Management and contrast that with child labor practices that are reported to still be occurring in some U.S. companies overseas. Discuss the contrasting/conflicting roles of HRM that this might create — one that approaches employees as “assets” that should be nurtured and valued, and one that utilizes child labor.

Your 2- to 3-page paper should be submitted by the Module 1 due date.

Enhance your submission by utilizing at least two valid sources not mentioned in this Module.

I need help creating a thesis and an outline on Organizational Turnaround at Selfridges & Co. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. The human resource policies and procedures practiced in Selfridge and Company would be studied in respect of the store at Trafford Park. The Trafford Park store of Selfridge is located in the outer periphery of the Manchester region and is considered as the first outlet of the company which was opened up outside the main area of London.

This store of the company earns a due reputation for gradually it turned out to be a testing center which enabled the development and working of other future stores of the company. In the initial period, the store operated mainly based on the working capacity of around 650 people. These 650 people were constituted by both staffs belonging to direct company payroll and other people taken on concessionary limits. Further studies reveal that the organization catered for the development of staff productivity through the holding of training and other developmental programs on an extensive scale. Moreover, the loyalty factor of the employees was better enhanced through the generation of forums wherein the employees could state their problems or also render fruitful suggestions for the development of the company.

The employees were also rendered discounts by Selfridge and Company in the course of their making certain purchases. Speaking on the communication front the management body at Selfridge and Company focused on maintaining effective communication with the employee groups spread among different departments and organizational levels to help enhance the aspects of employee motivation.&nbsp.

For the Session Long Projects you will also be applying the concepts from the background materials. But instead of applying them to yourself, you will imagine that you are a leadership development coach who is hired to by organizations to diagnosis or give advice to managers. For each of the situations below, explain what advice or diagnosis you would give them based on your knowledge of the background readings. Make sure to cite at least one of the required background readings in each of your answers. Your paper should be two to three pages in length:

  1. Susan is a manager who decides to assess her strengths using some of the 24 classifications of the Values in Action Inventory of Strengths that you read about for this module. She discovers that two of her biggest strengths are “humor” and “teamwork.” She concludes that since these are her strengths she doesn’t need to change anything regarding her use of these strengths. Do you think this is a good use of her assessment, or should she make changes to her use of humor and teamwork? If so, what kind of changes?
  2. Harold has an MBA from Harvard and is focused on becoming a CEO before he is 45 years old. He is very good at networking and often makes friends with those who rank higher than him at his current organization. However, employees under his supervision feel that he often makes decisions based on what will get him promoted rather than on what is best for his employees or his organization. How would you characterize his emotional intelligence (EQ) skills based on the different elements of EQ discussed in the background readings? Be specific regarding which elements of EQ you think he is likely high on or which elements you think he may be lacking.
  3. Carl is known as a very caring manager based on his ability to understand his employee’s problems and taking careful to time to get to know each and every employee. He is personally well liked by all of his employees. However, the one complaint they do have about Carl is that he gets very upset when things don’t go well and takes things very personally. For example, when he found out that profitability for his unit had fallen over the last month he was so upset he had to take a couple of sick days off from work. How would you characterize his emotional intelligence (EQ) skills based on the different elements of EQ discussed in the background readings? Be specific regarding which elements of EQ you think he is likely high on or which elements you think he may be lacking.
