How might the present situation be avoided in future? Answer must relate to HR Management base on the case study given. The Challenges In Effective Selection And Induction Process:Four months previously Professor Grant's application for additional funding for hiscurrent project was approved. On the recommendation of a colleague (who hadacted as postgraduate supervisor) in another university Professor Grant had namedAlex Spender as the research assistant to work on the extension to the project. Alexjoined Professor Grant's research team three months ago immediately aftercompleting her Ph.D. at another university. Her postgraduate work had overlappedexactly with expertise needed on the project. She has now been in her firstpostdoctoral position for three months. Two other research fellows work on theproject (John and Charlotte), both of whom have been in post for the last two years.Previously they had been postgraduates within the School.Charlotte had emerged as the more proactive of the research fellows and ProfessorGrant has tended to use her to help coordinate the project. Normally Professor Grantdid not involve research fellows in matters that affected employment or funding.However, since he would be absent at an important conference when Alex Spenderjoined the research group he spoke to Charlotte and explained about the appointment. An appointment of an excellent young researcher in this way helpedthe research group avoid the bureaucratic recruitment cycle expected by thePersonnel Department. Since her appointment Charlotte had introduced Alex tothose parts of the research work that she was to take up. Charlotte had to fit thismentoring role alongside her other research activities.Charlotte has met Professor Grants and stated her dissatisfaction towards Alex.Charlotte was frustrated because she had been distracted from her own research bya number of complaints from technicians and others in the department. Thesecomplaints had focused on Alex asking people to do things that were not theirresponsibility. As one example Charlotte explained that it was departmental policyfor technicians to be assigned to particular research groups. No one could simply goto the technician in another group and ask for help. Charlotte also believed that Alexwas slow in getting through her work. All in all she had formed the opinion that Alexwas not up to the job. These difficulties were sapping the morale of the researchgroup.Professor Grant has only been able to meet with Alex twice since her appointmentbecause of his heavy schedule of commitments. Charlotte thinks that as the PrincipalInvestigator he should "put a shot across Alex's bow".Professor Grant has called a meeting at which he intends to confront Alex withCharlotte's accusations.

After spending several weeks on the job, Jennifer was surprised to discover that her father, Jack, the owner of Carter cleaning company, has not formally evaluated any employees performance for all the years that he had owned the business. Jack's position was that he had "100 higher priority things to attend to, and "such as boosting sales and lowering cost, and, in any case, many employees didn't stick around long enough to be appraisable anyway. Furthermore, contended Jack, manual workers such as those doing the pressing and the cleaning did periodically get positive feedback in terms of praise from Jack for a job well done, or criticism, also from Jack, if things did not look right during one of his swing through the stores. Similarly, Jack was never shy about telling his managers about store problems so that they, too, got some feedback on where they stood. This informal feedback notwithstanding, Jennifer believes that a more formal appraisal approach is required. She believes that…

months by Dr. Don Wilson, a Heiltsuk doctor then working in Haiti. (Facebook) Peter Haugen, the president of the board for the All Native Basketball Tournament, declined to comment. A letter sent to Wilson by the tournament rules committee chairman and obtained by CBC News states, "All players must be of North American indigenous ancestry/bloodlines i.e. 1/8th First Nations ancestry." 'Extremely insulting' "We saw it as extremely insulting," Josiah's father, Dr. Don Wilson, told CBC News. "It's upholding that abhorrent notion that blood quantum or DNA or birth is what defines us as indigenous people, and it absolutely is not." Wilson is a Calgary obstetrician and status Indian from the Heiltsuk First Nation. He was working in Haiti in the 1990s when he adopted Josiah, then five months old.

Research Case Scenario 28 year old, Friendly Frank, found himself unemployed and looking for work after he was fired from First National Bank. Frank was well liked and always had received positive reviews during his five year career at the bank. He had joined the organization right after graduating college and had been promoted and done well during his time there.

Frank lamented his firing stating that it was a complete overreaction, his activities were innocent, occasional, and brief. Not any different than anyone taking an occasional break throughout the day. The…
