Part I: Based on the assigned reading and videos, identify and explain something that you found interesting or were able to connect to your own work experiences. Why did this particular concept stand out among others?
Part II: Robert Soolah is director of HR for a fictional company that creates information technology products and solutions. Recently, the company acquired a mid-sized software manufacturer. After the acquisition, Robert realized that the culture within his organization was changing due to the competition among the “old” and “new” employees. Robert decided to implement a series of HR initiatives aimed at increasing the collaboration among all employees and creating a culture of team-building and respect. He designed an interpersonal skills training course that focused on positive communication and collaboration. He created an internal website where employees could voice their concerns about the acquisition and ask questions about future roles and the direction of the organization. He produced a 360-degree performance feedback system that gave both old and new employees an opportunity to evaluate their colleagues. Finally, he added a team-based incentive to the compensation program to reward employees based on meeting group goals. Six months after initiating these practices, he wants to evaluate and report on their effectiveness.
What advice and recommendations would you give Robert regarding his desire to evaluate these practices? (Note: try to integrate specific concepts from the reading in your response).
