Consider the difference between the concepts of diversity and multiculturalism
Question 1:
Consider the difference between the concepts of diversity and multiculturalism. How would you determine the difference between an organization focused on compliance versus one that promoted multiculturalism? What evidence would you be looking for and why? Discuss at least four ideas.
Question 2:
Some organizations follow a lengthy, complex selection process, whereas in other organizations the process may be more streamlined. Some may view the longer and more complex selection process to be more valid.
A) What are the advantages and disadvantages of using a lengthier process versus a more streamlined (shorter) one? Consider the perspectives of both the job seekers and the organization and the tradeoffs between efficiency and effectiveness. As a job seeker, what process would you prefer to follow and why?
B) Consider the selection process for an organization where you were ultimately hired. How would you describe the process from a candidate perspective? Do you believe it was effective? Why or why not?
Question 3:
A) What is the difference between job satisfaction and employee engagement? How are motivation and employee engagement related to employee retention? What factors (personal, organizational) might contribute to job satisfaction and engagement? Explain your answers.
B) Think about a job where you have been employed for many years.
Evaluate your level of satisfaction versus engagement.
- What factors influenced your job satisfaction
- What was your level of engagement in your work? What factors influenced this?
- What factors influenced your retention and why?
C) Consider a job where you had a shorter tenure. What factors contributed to your resignation and what factors could have made you stay? Which (if any) were within the organization’s control?
Question 4:
- Why is retention such a major focus for human resource managers? How does focusing on retention add strategic value to the organization?
- How would you go about developing a retention program for your organization? Be specific in terms of what steps you would you take. What might be some of your biggest challenges? What type of metrics would you need to obtain and what methods would you use?
