The major responsibilities of human resources management (HRM) are attracting, developing, and
maintaining a quality workforce. Research an organization, with which you are familiar, that is in need
of a change and present how you will manage the change process by incorporating the three essential
duties of HRM.
Choose one subsystem to change and write a 1,250-1,500 word paper addressing the following
questions that pertain to the major human resource management responsibilities and to change
management. Strengthen your recommendations by showing how your proposed changes are working in
another similar organization that is successful.
Address following in your paper:
1. Provide an overview of the organization you have chosen including three subsystems of the
organization, three stakeholders of the organization, and the reason for selecting this
organization.
2. What one major organizational subsystem needs to be changed in the organization? Justify your
choice. How does it compare to a similar successful organization?
3. How will the subsystem change affect the two other subsystems within the organization that
you have identified and how will you realign the total system?
4. Identify and explain how you would ensure that the proposed change will satisfy any three
stakeholders of the organization?
5. How should the organization attract, develop, and maintain the workforce required to bring
about your proposed change?

Choose at least one of the following in your discussion about attracting a quality
workforce to support the change in Questions 2 and 3 above: human resource planning,
recruitment, or selection.
Choose at least one of the following in your discussion about developing a quality
workforce to support the change in Questions 2 and 3 above: (and this must tie in to 4a
too): employee orientation, training and development, or performance appraisal.
Choose at least one of the following in your discussion about maintaining a quality
workforce to support the change in Questions 2 and 3 above (and must relate to 4a and
4b): career development, work-life balance, compensation and benefits, employee
retention and turnover, or labor-management relations.
Integrate a faith-based or worldview-based component in the paper and make a clear connection on
how it informs the groups’ management practices. (NOTE: Individuals all have a worldview, and that
worldview influences their decisions, values, and perceptions. It also affects how they manage people,
or think they should be managed. For this assignment, this requirement relates to the worldview of
the presenters.
Include at least four academic references to support your position. One of them should directly relate
to the company discussed in your paper and another to the organization to which you are comparing it.

Your introduction should be typed here. It should be at least four sentences and include a
thesis statement. Please note that you should follow all APA writing rules within your essay.
This means avoid first and second person, do not use contractions, and use citations throughout
your paper! And remember – this is NOT an opinion paper. Do not write “I think” or “I believe”.
Prove your points with research (the text counts as one of your sources, the lecture notes count as
another). Please see the rubric in the assignment dropbox. If you want to earn an A, make sure
you meet all of the requirements listed.
Organization and Major Subsystem in Need of Change
Provide information on the organization you have picked and include three subsystems
(information on subsystems is in the DQ 1 thread), three stakeholders, and why you have chosen
this organization. I would highly suggest defining and citing subsystems and stakeholders. Cite
your academic research.
Subsystem in Need of Change
What subsystem out of the three you picked needs to be changed? Why? What
specifically needs to be changed and why? Justify your choice and compare it to another
successful organization. This section must include academic research.
Impact of the Proposed Change
Describe in detail how the proposed change to the major subsystem would subsequently
create positive changes to two other subsystems within your organization. Make a presentation of
how these changes would realign the organization for the better. Make sure you conduct research
to support your assertions and cite throughout.
HUMANRESOURCESANDCHANGE
3
Satisfying the stakeholders
How will the proposed change satisfy stakeholders in the organization? Think about
defining stakeholders and use a resource to make your claim. Why would it satisfy the
stakeholders? You can be creative here, but back up your main ideas with resources.
Attracting a quality workforce
Choose at least one of the following in your discussion about attracting a quality
workforce to support the change: human resource planning, recruitment, or selection. Use
resources – define your main ideas.
Developing a quality workforce
Choose at least one of the following in your discussion about developing a quality
workforce to support the change: employee orientation, training and development, or
performance appraisal.
Maintaining a quality workforce
Choose at least one of the following in your discussion about maintaining a quality
workforce to support the change: career development, work-life balance, compensation and
benefits, employee retention and turnover, or labor-management relations.
Worldview
This section asks you to think about how a worldview influences management decisions.
I am not asking you to guess about the worldview of your organization, you should think about
your own point of view here. This is also the section that I would recommend connecting other
aspects of the course. Think about how management’s worldview would influence
communication, politics, planning, leadership or any aspects of organizational behavior.

You need to include a conclusion here. It should not introduce any new information; it
should simply be a wrap up of your paper. See below for how to format references. You must
have four academic references to meet the expectations (more to exceed them). One can be your
text, but the others must be a GCU library source or other academic sources. I am looking for
you to pull past course concepts into this paper. This is a Benchmark assignment so it is
important to include leadership theories and management principles from the past 8 weeks. If
you follow this template and the rubric, you will do very well on your paper! ☺
