HR Trends – Media Analysis

1. Find one example in the news or entertainment media of an issue related an HR Trends topic we covered in Week 14 (including Organizational Network Analysis or the Digital HRM Transformation). This includes excerpts from movies or TV shows, or articles from reputable news sites or magazines (e.g., Forbes, SHRM, The Atlantic, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Fast Company, The Washington Post, etc.).
2. Explain how the media article or video illustrates the relevant HR Trends topic.
3. Include your referenced article or video, or a link to access it.

Paragraph 1: What article or video did you select, and why? Briefly summarize the main takeaways. Describe how it is applicable to the HR Trends lecture; for example, explain how the article/video supports or contradicts something we discussed in class. Analyze the multimedia by applying specific HR Trends course concepts.

Paragraph 2: Consider your article or video in the context of both of the articles that were assigned in this course: (1) 21 HR Jobs of the Future (Week 1) and (2) the Future of Human Resource Management: HR Tech Trends of 2019 (Week 14). How does your article or video align with these assigned articles? What types of jobs, or characteristics of jobs, might be evoked by your article or video? What type of trends most closely taps into your article or video? What complementary or contradictory information did you uncover? How does your article fit with these assigned articles? Be specific.

Paragraph 3: Imagine you are a Chief HR Officer, and you are given the responsibility to design a policy that incorporates themes from your article or video to inform the post-pandemic world of work (in other words, what organizations, jobs, and the employment relationship will look like during and after the COVID-19 pandemic). How would you balance the health and safety of your workers with maintaining their engagement and productivity? How would you balance having your employees work remotely versus a return to the physical office space? You can draw from your article or video, as well as the HR Trends lecture content and any other lecture from this course.

**Note: You may not use articles or clips that I have already presented in class.
