HRM

George is a registered nurse with twelve years' experience, working the evening shift in the post-operative ward at Harmony Hill Memorial Hospital. George wants to complete his Bachelor’s degree in nursing and the needed courses are only offered in the evenings. George's supervisor informs the staff of an upcoming opening in the morning shift and advises them of the application deadline. Based on some of the rumors that have circulated regarding past practices of his supervisor, George knows that his supervisor has already filled the position with one of her closest friends and that George's completing an application and interviewing for the position is nothing more than an exercise in futility. George brings his concerns to you, the HR supervisor. He claims that his gender and sexual orientation has affected his nursing supervisor's decision and that any complaint from him to the nursing supervisor will result in retaliation or termination.

Respond to the following:

1. What would you say to George about the ideal legal and ethical hiring practices?

2. What can you do to ensure that the recruitment and selection process is fair and consistent with the requirements of federal and state laws on hiring practices?

3. How would you address this with George's nursing supervisor?

4. What steps can be taken in addressing George's concerns for retaliation or termination?

5. Where does the human resource department fit into this scenario?

Note: In preparing your response you should not only draw from the assigned readings but should also incorporate additional research you conduct on the subject.

Be sure to properly cite all references.

Assignment Expectations

Number of pages:  2 to 3 pages

Scholarly Content

Your CASE/SLP and your case assignments are considered scholarly works. Your final work should include a MINIMUM of 10 peer reviewed (scholarly) sources. This does not mean that you must place 10 peer reviewed sources in each module of your CASE/SLP. I anticipate that the nature of the questions which must be answered in this project will result in the accumulation of more than 10 references, but 10 is the minimum number. This means by the end of module 5, I should be able to go back and count AT A MINIMUM a total of 10 scholarly-peer reviewed publications in all of your submitted papers.

Appropriate Headings and Paper Flow

Remember that you are preparing a formal academic paper. Your paper should make use of appropriate headings and subheadings. You should not cut & paste the questions posed and answer them like a “Question and Answer” session. Your finished paper should read like an academic paper.

Your assignment will be graded according to the Case and SLP Grading Rubric. (To see the rubric, go to Assessments>Rubrics. Click the arrow next to the rubric name and choose Preview.)

Additional considerations to keep in mind while working on your Case Assignments:

Originality and use of directly quoted material

· The purpose of each assignment is for you to present your understanding and synthesis of the background material and key concepts. Accordingly, this must be accomplished substantially in your own words.

· Use directly quoted material sparingly and only when preserving the exact words of an author is necessary. For purposes of this course, rarely should directly quoted material represent more than 5-10 percent of your entire case paper’s content. Composing a paper patched together from mostly quoted material is not acceptable.

· Be sure to properly reference all directly quoted material and include the in-text citations. All paraphrased information also requires reference citations at the end of the paraphrased section.
