Assignment Workload:


This Assignment comprises of a short Case.
Assignments are to be submitted by each student individually.
Assignment Purposes/Learning Outcomes:
After completion of Assignment one students will be able to understand the following


LO1: To understand the role of human resources within the organization.
LO2: To differentiate between the major functions of Human Resources and
their interdependency.
Read the case given below and answer the questions:
Maryam, the owner, and manager of a company with ten employees, has hired you to
take over the HRM function so she can focus on other areas of her business. During your
first two weeks, you find out that the company has been greatly affected by the up
economy and is expected to experience overall revenue growth of 10 percent over the
next three years, with some quarters seeing growth as high as 30 percent. However, five
of the ten workers are expected to retire within three years. These workers have been
with the organization since the beginning and provide a unique historical perspective of
the company. The other five workers are of diverse ages.
In addition to these changes, Maryam believes they may be able to save costs by allowing
employees to telecommute one to two days per week. She has some concerns about
productivity if she allows employees to work from home. Despite these concerns, Maryam
has even considered closing the physical office and making her company a virtual
organization, but she wonders how such a major change will affect the ability to
communicate and worker motivation.
Maryam shares with you her thoughts about the costs of health care for the organization.
She has considered cutting benefits entirely and having her employees work for her on a
contract basis, instead of being full-time employees. She isn’t sure if this would be a good
choice.
Maryam schedules a meeting with you to discuss some of her thoughts. To prepare for the
meeting, you perform research so you can impress your new boss with recommendations
on the challenges presented.
