Question: Managing Human Resources
Current Event Article
You need to identify, summarize, and discuss a human resources-related news report in a short written assignment and class discussion. News and media discussed topics to look for can include hiring, firing, discrimination, HR laws, lawsuits, training, harassment, coaching, mentoring, compensation inequity, ethic, etc. that are in the news or media. These topics are frequently found in the business press. This assignment will make the course very current and will explore the many HR related issues that are constantly in the news. Keep in mind that for this individual assignment, you can work on a topic that is related to your team's research area....this way, you can use the content of your current event article and analysis for the team project as well (so you can be strategic in the selection of your current event topic).
The written current event article summary should be about 3-6 pages in length (more pages are okay) plus an NSU cover sheet (as the first page for all assignments) along with the complete reference for this article in APA style at the end (the reference should provide the author's name, Generated: 11/14/2018 Page 3 of 11 year of publication, the title of the article, the source, and the URL link if you retrieve it from an online source). In addition, if the source is available online (such as SHRM.com, CNN.com or other news outlet), provide the retrieval or viewing date right before the URL.
Students should also be prepared to discuss the current event topic with the class. In your paper summary and discussion, include the following under relevant Headings / Subheadings:
1. Title of the article and author(s)
2. The key points of the article
3. Relevance of the article to an appropriate Organizational Behavior concepts or theories
4. What you learned from the article?
5. Reference / Source of the news or article (all in the APA Style).
Note: This must be a CURRENT event (preferably this month, this year or last year), not something you find on a website from several years ago that simply refers to HR topic.
