Evaluating Staffing Programs
It has been said that we measure what we care about. Given the mission-critical importance of effective staffing processes, it is reasonable to discuss

the best options for measuring their effectiveness. Based on your experience and your readings, what are the most important characteristics of an

effective staffing process? And what measures would you recommend ensuring that the staffing process is working as intended? The results of our

discussion should yield a guide to best practice.

Performance Analysis

Performance analysis utilizes techniques and tools from various disciplines. A complete performance analysis should include the following five (5) techniques: extant data analysis, needs analysis, knowledge task analysis, procedural task analysis, and systems task analysis. In this week, you will analyze the process of performance analysis. Maximizing performance is the desired end result. Two excellent resources for performance analyses (including organizational environmental, gap, and cause analysis) are case studies 2.1 and 2.2 within Fundamentals of performance improvement: A guide to improving people, process, and performance.

GaryPlatt. (2010, June 24). From performance gap to needs analysis

For this assignment, write a paper in which you thoroughly analyze the cases to provide a comprehensive report that includes the following:
• Identify the key issues, goals, and options.
• Identify the causes of the performance gap.
• Identify potential interventions.
• Evaluate the intervention/recommendation from a cost/benefit perspective and implementations (ramifications of the actions).
• Compare and contrast the processes used in the cases.
• Recommend solutions and interventions to the organization that you would do differently.
• Discuss how you could apply the cases to your organization and the rationale.
Length: 6 pages not including title and reference page
References: Minimum of 7 scholarly resources.
The first phase in the HPT model is performance analysis. Performance analysis is important because it identifies the cause of the problem or the opportunities available to use as powerful sources of innovation. During performance analysis, training and performance specialists see two broad types of information: direction (vision, mission, values, etc. that impact performance) and performance drivers (internal and external factors affecting performance positively or negatively).
In the HPT Model, performance analysis focuses on four areas:
1. Desired performance state
2. Actual performance state
3. The gap between desired and actual performance
4. Causes of gaps in performance
In the next few activities in the module, you will utilize techniques for performance analysis, select an intervention, and evaluate performance.
Review the following video: From Performance Gap to Needs Analysis
Afterwards, reflect on the following questions:
1. What are the linkages between needs analysis, performance analysis, organization analysis, and gap analysis?
2. What similarities do you see in the video and from your reading?

 

 

Essay (500 words or more)
Courage often enables people to face danger, fear, or change. Think of a time when you did something that took real courage. You might have

taken a risk, stood up for something you believed was right, or did something that others thought you could not achieve.

Write a narrative describing the event. Tell what happened and how the experience affected you.

As you write, remember your story will be scored based on how well you:
• develop a multi-paragraph response to the assigned topic that clearly communicates the purpose of your story to the audience.
• describe the characters, setting, and conflict using meaningful sensory descriptions and details that enable the reader to

visualize the experiences in your narrative.
• organize your story in a clear and logical manner, including a beginning, middle and end.
• use well-structured sentences and language that are appropriate for your audience.
• edit your work to conform to the conventions of standard American English.

In this assignment, you will summarize beliefs about the origin of the universe and life, including what Christians believe, what you believe, and how people’s beliefs about origins might impact how they live.

After reflecting on chapters 1 and 2 of Genesis, write a 750-1,000-word paper covering the following topics, paying particular emphasis on item three:

Briefly explain the Genesis account of creation (first two chapters). The point is not to retell all aspects of the story in detail but just to make the message of the Bible clear.
Explain and support your interpretation of the origin of the universe. Here you may want to address evolution, age of the earth, and whether or not it can be reconciled with the message of the Bible.
Express how your understanding of the origin of the universe impacts your worldview, specifically your view of God, of humanity, and responsibility to care for the earth.
Use two to four resources, in addition to the Bible.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide

Here is the link for reading: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+1-2

1. The Modern period seems to have come to an end about the time of the Second World War, when new currents began to emerge that we call

Contemporary and that we are still experiencing.
2. Throughout the history of Western literature, writers have rejected the models of their predecessors, but never has the rejection been so

total and the search for continually new forms been so determined as it was in the Modern Period.
3. Behind the quest for new forms lay the conviction that the modern experience was unique, qualitatively different from that of any time in the

past.
4. At its most fundamental level the change was a massive disillusionment, an erosion of faith not only in religion but in a number of secular

principles as well.
5. Modern artists just after World War I found themselves in a world deprived of a number of traditional ways of ordering experience. They could

no longer accept the premises of the existence of God, of the human race’s right to a certain dignity and virtue of its special place in

creation, of the supremacy of reason in human affairs, or even of life as being self-evidently worth living.
6. Much of Modern literature was born from this new spiritual confrontation with emptiness.
7. Disillusioned and contemplating a cosmos and a society either without order or so complexly ordered as to defy understanding, most Modern

writers looked within themselves for a principle of order. The most striking feature of Modern literature, therefore, was its overwhelming

preoccupation with the self, the nature of consciousness, and the processes of perception.
8. The French Symbolist poets reacted against both the materialism of their society and the crudity of naturalism by withdrawing into an ideal

world of art. The Symbolists aimed to capture the most evanescent of personal experiences in shimmering, open-ended, essentially private

symbols.
9. The disintegration of experience into fragments suggests the negative side of Modernism.
10. An equally important shaping principle in Modern literature was what might be called the “stream of unconsciousness,” the use of the

irrational logic of dreams and fantasies. The Moderns search for an alternative logic to what they perceived as a sterile, exhausted rationality

led them repeatedly to the shadowy structure of the dream.
11. Myth, stripped of its religious and magical associations, was mined for its power to give shape to experience.
12. The Modern writer’s quest for order created by individual consciousness led inevitably to a preoccupation with the artists themselves and

with the artistic process.
13. Postmodernism’s principle extension of Modernism is in the direction of a preoccupation with the text itself.
14. Contemporary writers have brought about a strong resurgence of realistic writing, in which the text is treated as a transparent window onto

reality, rather than the object of contemplation in itself.
15. Realism remains the main form of popular fiction and drama, but it is also favored by a number of serious writers with strong political

convictions.

 

U.S. History
For the final Portfolio Project, you will write a paper about a person or an event in a period of U.S. history up to Reconstruction that is relevant to your major area of study or of interest to you. You will write about this person or event from the perspective of another historical personality who lived at the same time as the person or event you are going to describe.

For your historical personality, try to select someone from an under-represented population (examples of possible perspectives include that of Anne Hutchinson, Pocahontas, or Sojourner Truth). This analysis is to make you think about how events/people’s actions were interpreted at the time.

There are three Portfolio Project Milestones due in Modules 2, 4, and 7. Visit each Module folder for full details on those assignments.
•Week 2: Portfolio Description Posting (5 Points)
•Week 4: Declare Portfolio Topic (35 Points)
•Week 7: Outline (10 Points)

Key Points::
•Remember that you will be writing from the perspective of a historical person about another person or an event from a period of U.S. history up to Reconstruction. From your historical person’s perspective, provide a thorough summary of the person or event you’ve chosen to write about, including the incidents that took place and any key individuals involved or affected.
•Address the general importance of the person or event in the context of U.S. history.
•Now, explain specifically how the person or event changed “your” daily life—“you” being the historical persona you have adopted.
•Think long-term: How will the person or the event you are describing make a long-term impact in the lives of people who are in the under-represented group to which your historical person/perspective belongs?

Paper Requirements:
•Your paper must be four to six pages, not including the required references and title pages.
•Use at least five sources, not including the textbook. Include a scholarly journal article. Include at least one primary source from those identified in the syllabus. Definition of a Primary Source: A primary source is any source, document or artifact that was created at the time of the event. It was usually created by someone who witnessed the event, lived during or even shortly afterwards, or somehow would have first-hand knowledge of that event. A secondary source, by contrast, is written by a historian or someone writing about the event after it happened.
•Have an introduction and strong thesis statement. Make use of support and examples supporting your thesis
•Finish with a forceful conclusion reiterating your main idea.
•Format your paper according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements

These are the kinds of aims/objectives that AirSec could use. Use them as guidance for answering Task 1 (but make sure you do not copy

them directly)

1. The company intends to become the market leader in the UK in the advanced security systems sector by 2017

2. We will enter the overseas market in India by 2018 and expect to break-even in that market by 2020

3. We aim to increase sales revenues over a five year period from its 2015 base by at least 10% whilst proportionately reducing costs by

5%

4. Our intention is to increase profits by a yearly average of 3% over the next five years

7. We will continue to increase our commitment to our local community by increasing our ‘Community Involvement Budget’ by 2% each year for

a five year time horizon

Below is a possible Mission Statement that AirSec could use. Again, it is provided for your guidance

“We intend to lead the advanced security systems market by developing strong finances, a highly skilled workforce and a positive

relationship with our clients both in the UK and in international markets. Local community relations will be strengthened by working more

closely with our local stakeholders in charities, social enterprises, environmental groups, schools and hospitals.”

GUIDELINES FOR ANSWERING TASK 2

TASK 2.
“Assess the merits and drawbacks of a range of pricing strategies and decide which would be appropriate for this business in its

established market in the UK and its new venture in India. Explain why you think your choice would be appropriate for the business, its

product and markets.”

Below are the pricing strategies listed in the lecture notes:

Penetration Pricing
 Low price in order to quickly gain a foothold in a market
Destruction or Predatory Pricing
 Set a price that will push competitors out of the market
Market Pricing
 Charge similar price as competitors
Skimming the Market
 Setting a high price for a new product in the knowledge that customers are willing to buy it. Launching of the product is preceded

by a vigorous promotional campaign.
Discrimination Pricing
 Charging different prices for different customers, or at different times of the day. Sometimes, this is called a Dual Pricing

strategy.
Price War
 Engaging in constant reduction of price to try to outdo rivals.

HOW TO ANSWER TASK 2

Start by writing generally about the above range of pricing strategies (make use of information from relevant textbooks and/or internet

sources to add some relevant information). Try to relate your answer to the case study. For example, you may believe that because AirSec’s

product isn’t a typical consumer item (such as, a new breakfast cereal) then Penetration Pricing is likely to be inappropriate. On the

other hand, you may feel that it would be useful to consider Discrimination Pricing by setting different prices for AirSec’s business

customers (B2B) and domestic customers (B2C).

Then go on to decide:
a) What will be the pricing strategy for AirSec’s UK market
b) What will be the pricing strategy for the new, proposed market in India

It is important you conclude this section with a good and detailed explanation of your choices.

Guidelines for case study AirSec Ltd (re. Task 3)
EMPLOYEE BENCHMARKING
Benchmarking is to do with the identification of standards of performance and then using these standards to compare the actual performance

of individual employees or working groups.

How are these standards identified?
External sources:
It may be possible to get information from other, similar businesses on things like the productivity levels of shop floor workers (factory

workers).
Industry-wide standards – in some industries there may be organisations or trade journals that publish figures, reports, etc., that could

be useful.

Internal sources:
A business can make good use of its own past data in areas such as, overall sales figures, sales achieved by individual sales-persons,

production figures for sections in the factory, production figures for working groups, production figures for individual workers, levels

of wastage for sections in the factory/individual workers, figures generated by the company’s Quality Assurance section, etc.

The standards achieved by recognised high-performing employees can be used as a benchmark to compare other employees’ work.

Purpose:
Benchmarking is an organizational tool to drive continuous improvements using best practices. This can translate into increased efficiency

and create competitive advantages.
Employee benchmarking is usually used to assess the aptitude and abilities of a group involved in or performing a similar job. The actual

performance of each and every individual is compared with the set benchmarks for the entire job description and tasks. The areas which are

normally covered in employee benchmarking are:
• Achievement of sales budgets
• Achievement of plans
• Ability to deliver effective customer service and care
• Leadership and communication skills
• Achieving set levels of production (in a manufacturing situation)

How to answer Task 3
These are the types of employee at AirSec Ltd:
Managerial and administrative, research, professional engineers, software engineers, shop-floor assembly workers and miscellaneous

categories (including delivery drivers, maintenance workers, cleaners, etc).
TASK 3
Choose one of the categories of employee shown above and show how you would use benchmarking to measure their contribution to the work of

the company and how it can be a useful tool in staff management.

• Choose one of the categories of staff (for example, you may have chosen ‘Shop Floor Assembly Workers’ – they are the people who

work in the factory and produce the company’s main product which is the UAV Drone).
• Then explain how benchmarking can be used for this group of staff. You may say that the workers operate in working teams of 4/5

members and specialise in one stage of the production process (in the same way that car assembly workers are organised), for example, one

working group may specialise in fitting the electrical circuits. Benchmarking may be used to:
1. set productivity targets and then measure the working group’s actual performance against the benchmark productivity figure
2. set quality performance standards (e.g. maximum number of products that can fail quality assurance checks) and measure the group’s

performance
3. set stock wastage standards (the quantity of materials wasted/recycled) and measure the group’s stock wastage figures
• Finally, explain how benchmarking can be a useful tool in staff management – the list below are some areas you can think about:
1. assess bonus payments for reaching or exceeding benchmark
2. help managers in staff appraisals
3. provide managers with relevant data for staff motivation
4. reveal areas where additional training is needed
5. identify problem groups/individuals where remedial action is needed
6. provide data to support possible disciplinary actions

TASK 4

Identify the main difficulties and barriers the company would face in its efforts to trade in the export market to India.

This task is related to the Week 19 Lecture “Barriers to Internationalisation” and you are advised to read this in your own time before

writing your answer to this task.
The task is quite straightforward, you are required to do some relevant reading and then provide an essay-style answer to the question.

Extracts are provided below from two websites to indicate the kind of research findings available. You can make use of them but should

also carry out some of your own research.

1. From: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/exporting-to-india/exporting-to-india
Challenges doing business in India
India is a price competitive market. Government contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder who meets the technical specifications.

Consumers often prefer lower prices to quality or durability.
India has:
• 7 major religions and many minor ones
• 6 main ethnic groups
As a result there are countless holidays which change depending on the year. Plan your visit carefully so it doesn’t fall within a holiday

period.
Other challenges include:
• barriers to trade and investment in some sectors resulting from regulatory constraints, local sourcing requirements, and import

tariffs
• protecting your Intellectual Property (IP)
• risk of bureaucratic delays
• land acquisition can be difficult
• risk of bribery and corruption
• access to the right skills in the local workforce
• poor infrastructure, including distribution and logistics as much of India remains rural
• weather extremes with extremely hot weather in summer and wet weather in the monsoon season can affect business
You should ensure you take the necessary steps to comply with the requirements of the UK Bribery Act.

Standards and technical regulations
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is responsible for the development of national standards. These standards are generally in line with

international norms and most are harmonised with International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards.
However, imports of some 109 products are subject to compliance with specified Indian quality standards. To remain compliant with the law,

manufacturers of these products must obtain certification from BIS before exporting such goods to India. The list includes:
• food preservatives and additives
• milk powder
• certain electrical appliances
• some types of gas cylinders
• cement
• certain batteries
These products must be tested and certified by BIS in India although BIS does offer pre-certification subject to production inspections.
Check with BIS for full details of the 109 products and the procedure for applying for quality certification.

“India’s trade barriers; an analysis with reference to tariffs and customs procedures”
Table 4: Most problematic factors for importing in India Most problematic factors for importing in India Score
A. Burdensome import procedures 23.7
B. Tariffs 21.4
C. Corruption at the border 15.5
D. High cost or delay caused by domestic transportation 14.0
E. High cost or delay caused by international transportation 9.3
F. Domestic technical requirements and standards 7.1
G. Crime and theft 6.1
H. Inappropriate telecommunication infrastructure 2.9

GUIDELINES FOR TASK 5
TASK 5:
Imagine that a number of the company’s important commercial customers have reported a problem with the product. It appears that in some

instances the UAV’s operating at customers’ premises close to busy highways have developed a technical fault to do with the software. This

causes the UAV to confuse fast moving vehicles as potential ‘targets’ and they will try to monitor movement over the highways. Drivers

have been distracted and although there have been no major road accidents up to now there have been complaints to some of the businesses

using the UAV’s and, in some cases; the local police authorities have been involved.
Identify the risks involved in this situation, the potential impact on the company and the actions that will be taken by the appropriate

functional areas within AirSec.

Focus on the final sentence in the task:
“Identify the risks involved in this situation, the potential impact on the company and the actions that will be taken by the appropriate

functional areas within AirSec.”

You can see the task is divided into three parts:
1. What are the risks?
2. What will be the impact?
3. What actions should the functional areas take?

Seminar activity:
1. RISKS
(e.g. an obvious risk is that a driver will have a collision and individuals may suffer serious injury or death)

2. IMPACT
(The impact of the above risk may involve legal liability on the company’s part and the financial costs associated with that liability)

3. ACTIONS (taken by Functional Areas)
(The FINANCE DEPARTMENT/FUNCTION will have to budget for the additional costs if the legal action against the company is successful. They

will also have to budget for the ongoing additional insurance premium payments that will be a consequence of this incident)
