Discussion 1

Measuring the Value of HR

Read the Discussion Participation Scoring Guide to learn how the instructor will evaluate your discussion participation throughout this course.

An overriding idea in this course is that the impact of HR on the value of an organization is difficult to measure. Though the economic value of a new machine can be quite accurately calculated, the value of a new 2-day training program can be much more challenging to determine. Consider, for example, time away from regular organizational roles. Some of the employees could be supervisors and others are expertly trained and educated professionals. All of these employees receive high levels of compensation and are in high demand within an organization because there are only a few in these roles with a particular skill set that supports multiple groups with the company.

From your experiences, respond to the following:

·         Do you agree or disagree with the concept that the value of HR is difficult to measure?

·         Why do you feel this way?

Defend your position with both an example from your experience and some research that backs up your opinion.

Your initial post should be succinct, have at least 150 words, and demonstrate critical analysis and precision in writing. Evaluate unit materials and reference trade publications and scholarly literature relevant to the unit.

Response Guidelines

Read the posts of your peers and respond to two. State why you agree or disagree with their choice of articles. Provide comments and questions that encourage critical thinking and insight. Your response should extend the discussion and stimulate other learners to clarify, strengthen, and extend their dialogue.
