An actionable plan addressing HRs roles

After a Hard Days Work at ACME

In this Module 2 SLP, you have the opportunity to delve further into the talent management function and HRs role in it. As you may recall from the video on talent management– performance management, learning and motivating, compensation, career development, and succession planning all are contributors to building a strong talent pool.

You will learn more about two employees who have been with ACME, Inc. for two years. Andy is working as a quality assurance specialist in the plant and Ismal is an IT robotics specialist. These employees are friends and often meet outside of work with a few other ACME employees, including Henry, a new employee recently hired as an HR Staffing Specialist.

Ismal caught some movement out of the corner of his eye. It was a video on the overhead TV screen:

Quiet.Listen to this, pleaded Ismal. The table of acquaintances turned to the screen. Thats it–I make good money at ACME, but lately I feel something is missing.

Something is missing? Ismal, you are lucky. Many things are missing for me, said Andy.

Yep, more than one thing for me too, said Ismal, thinking about his lousy boss.
