3-2 Final Project Milestone One: Employee Engagement and Retention

OL 600 Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric

Employee Engagement and Reten�on

Overview

For this first milestone, due in Module Three, you will analyze HR strategic engagement ini�a�ves for a�rac�ng, retaining, and rewarding employees. The four cri�cal elements focus on

talent acquisi�on, employee engagement and reten�on, learning and development, and total rewards.

Scenario

For this milestone, consider the following scenario: Assume the role of a human resources director at a U.S.-based call center that is currently based in the Midwest. The organiza�on plans to

expand their call center loca�ons in the states of South Carolina and Tennessee and the country of India and needs to hire 100 employees. Your organiza�on has been primarily hiring “local”

talent, many of whom have been rela�ves of current employees. There are no formalized strategies to address filling posi�ons from a different part of the country or in addressing learning,

engagement, or reten�on needs. As the human resources director, you will create a strategic HR plan that addresses goals related to your organiza�on’s growth. The plan should have an

influence across the organiza�on to be successful.

Prompt

Refer to the chapter readings and module resources to support your responses to each of the four cri�cal elements below. Carefully read and address each cri�cal element as wri�en, using

detailed and informa�ve analysis that conveys cri�cal thinking. The four cri�cal elements are aligned to the people technical competency within the HR knowledge domain.

Specifically, the following cri�cal elements must be addressed:

Talent Acquisi�on: Determine appropriate strategies for acquiring qualified talent and explain how the strategies support organiza�onal goals.

Employee Engagement and Reten�on: Determine appropriate employee engagement strategies and explain how this approach will increase reten�on.

Learning and Development: Determine learning and development opportuni�es aimed toward a�rac�ng and retaining qualified talent within the organiza�on.

Total Rewards: Iden�fy appropriate total rewards strategies to increase employee reten�on and explain how these strategies support the goals of the organiza�on.

Be sure to incorporate instructor feedback on this milestone into your final submission.
