Question Module 1 Module 1 Discussion

Module 1

What are considered to be the functions of the manager from an HR perspective and how good do you think you are at performing these functions? Be sure to cite (APA) where appropriate.

Discuss what the major Forecasting Demand and Employee Supply approaches (p. 127-133) are about. Then, address what types of Forecasting Demand and Employee Supply approaches are used in an organization you are familiar with (it could be your work setting or not—no need to mention the organization’s name if you prefer not to) and if are there any HR Information Systems discussed in your text that might help this organization plan better. Don’t forget to cite your sources used.

Discuss the major tenets of Title VII of the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and the Civil Rights Act of 1991. Then, take on the role of supervisor of a unit in a computer software company which has approximately 200 employees. You have been told by your boss that you must downsize your unit, in order to help the company save money in these “tough economic times.” After reviewing the matter with the other managers in your organization, you decide that you will have to terminate 4 employees. These employees just happen to be of African-American descent and they are all over 40 years of age. After notifying the employees, they object to being terminated. You claim that you are entitled to let them go. What parts of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and 1991 apply and what parts of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) of 1967 may apply? What issues do you believe the EEOC will use to decide whether to pursue the case? Do you think that your decision will prevail, and why or why not, based on these Acts and how the courts have typically decided these types of cases? Do you think that the ultimate decision will be “just” for the parties involved? Use citations where appropriate (APA).
