As the start-up continues to scale and grow, the chief human resources officer (CHRO) has observed a noticeable uptick in complaints from present and former employees based on real or perceived violations of local, state, and federal employment laws. Complaints such as violations of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and pay, along with allegations of discrimination and wrongful termination, have started to grow along with the organization. While not having a significant impact on the business, the importance of firmly establishing consistent business practices to support employment law requirements is a concern with the continued growth planned.

Directions

After reviewing recent concerns, the CHRO and in-house counsel have asked you to craft an email to share with leaders across the organization. For this email, you have been asked to select three to four employment laws that you feel are important. While the code of conduct, policies, and other annual and new-employee training sessions are sufficient, the time has come to ensure that the leaders understand their role in supporting employment law within the organization.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

1. Email Considerations: Prepare an email that includes an appropriate subject line, recipients, date and time, and signature.
   1. It is important to consider precisely what group the email will be sent to. Will it be sent as a company communication in which employees can “reply all” or as a “BCC” in which employees will not be able to respond? Why is it important that this group receive this email?
2. Ethical Implications: Describe the ethical implications that should be considered in the situation provided.
3. Legal Implications: Describe legal implications that should be considered in the situation, including specific laws applicable.
4. Specific Approach: Recommend a specific approach for meeting organizational needs while maintaining ethical and responsible practices.

Submission, APA, 2 pages

For this discussion, you will focus on the HR shared service (HRSS) delivery model, particularly the center of expertise (COE). HRSS models centralize HR functions to enhance efficiency, consistency, and service quality. COEs are specialized teams within HRSS that provide expertise in specific areas like talent acquisition, employee relations, and benefits administration.

After reviewing this module’s required resources and understanding HRSS models and systems, address the following questions:

• How can an HRSS delivery model benefit the employees and management of an organization?
• What are some challenges of an HRSS delivery model to the employees and management of an organization?
• How do changes in technology affect service delivery, effectiveness, and efficiency?

Support your arguments with evidence from the course materials, readings, external sources, or your own personal experiences. Make your arguments more compelling by sharing concrete examples to illustrate your points. Finally, relate your response to broader course themes or real-world applications.

 There are legal and ethical guidelines that all companies should follow to ensure that they are not discriminating against any group. What would you do if you discovered that legal and ethical guidelines were not being followed in your place of employment?

Ensure your assignment is at least three pages in length but is no longer than four pages in length, is double-spaced, and uses 12- point Times New Roman font with one-inch margins.

Scenario

After completing the training mentioned in the Module Two email, the start-up organization that hired you as human resources (HR) director has experienced significant growth. What was initially a few hundred employees has grown into 1,200 employees spread out in multiple locations across the United States. It’s an exciting time for the organization, and more growth is planned for the next 12 months. This growth will double the company’s size.

As an HR professional, you have contributed to helping the business grow by creating a firm foundation through policies and training. The HR department has grown to include specialist roles in recruitment, compensation, benefits, and other areas. Your chief human resources officer (CHRO) has asked you to shift your focus to establishing a foundation for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to build upon. She commented that as the company has grown with the addition of new leaders, she feels the company needs to more adequately represent the communities served. She has noticed limited diversity being hired in leadership, with fewer female employees promoted than male employees. She has realized that DEI policies and practices must be understood at the leadership level for the company to have the best chance for sustainability and to create an environment where employees will grow and do their best.

The CHRO has asked you to write an email that will be shared with all leadership employees to initiate the conversation around DEI and its impact on business. The email should also focus on the importance of the company, reflecting the communities served while creating opportunities for all employees.

Directions

Prepare an email to send to leaders across the organization. In this email, you will explain why DEI is essential to the company ethically and legally and recommend ways leaders can ensure that DEI policies and practices are reflected in their teams and business practices.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

1. Email Considerations: Prepare an email that includes an appropriate      subject line, recipients, date and time, and signature.
   1. It       is important to consider precisely what group the email will be sent to.       Will it be sent as a company communication in which employees can “reply       all” or as a “BCC” in which employees will not be able to respond? Why is       it important that this group receive this email?
2. Ethical Implications: Describe the ethical implications that should be      considered in the situation provided.
3. Legal Implications: Describe legal implications that should be      considered in the situation, including specific laws applicable.
4. Specific  Approach: Recommend a specific approach for meeting      organizational needs while maintaining ethical and responsible practices.
