Defining the strategic approach to employee training and development allows organizations to align training and development to overall organizational success. Organizations may provide minimal training for job-specific skills or they may opt for a wide range of training and development opportunities to foster human talent development and ties to succession planning.

Research the purposes and approaches to strategic training and development decisions, and address the following:

1. Define the strategic nature of employee training and development.
2. What criteria might an organization use to determine a strategy regarding employee training and development?
3. Explain the difference between a small family-owned business and a multinational company in their approach to strategic training and development for employees.
4. Analyze the relationship between training and development, succession planning, and organizational success.
5. Why is multicultural/diversity training important in organizations
6. What are some legal considerations (employment laws and labor laws) managers must consider in selecting staff for training and development opportunities

You must include a minimum of 2 scholarly references.

This week we’re focused on group  communication. Think of a problem encountered in the past by a group of  which you are or were a member. Begin your analysis by defining the  group. What type of group was it? At what stage of development was the  group? And then share your thoughts about how the group communicated to  solve the problem.

Use the Seven-Step Framework  we learned about this week and identify which step(s) the group  utilized in their resolution efforts. Do you think that if the group  followed the full seven-step framework, resolution would have been  quicker or less contentious? Develop and post your analysis and then  share thoughtful comments on two classmate’s ideas.

Discuss the Me too movement that has been going on and the importance of recording keeping in the work place. Compare the light that has been shined on this movement now than back then. 

1) Briefly name four of the key assumptions that shape current mainstream economic theory, the foundation for the conservative and liberal policy perspectives on economies (see VOTE textbook chapter 4). (2)

2) In the broad overview version we have seen, what role for government would a conservative position for this role allow? Briefly address two of the factors we have identified, and discuss why they are important under the conservative perspective. (3)

3) Briefly explain two of the examples of positive and desirable characteristics of capitalist systems put forward by their supporters. (4)

4) Given the assumptions about scarcity and about individuals, their role in economies, and the functioning of markets, why are markets good solution tools for problems from the conservative / liberal perspective? Where can we find an example for a difference between these two perspectives? (4)

5) Briefly name three of the key assumptions that shape the radical policy perspectives on economies. (2)

6) From the radical perspective, how is the question What to produce? answered? (2)

7) In contrast, how is the question What to produce? answered from a conservative / liberal perspective, and why is it answered that way? (3)

8) Using the Six-Core Cube Guide introduced in chapter 5 of the VOTE textbook, assess the following problem. (Remember the radical perspective lies behind this cube, and is used to from that perspective identify the problematic aspects of a situation that are brought about by agents in a capitalist system, and offers an alternative approach for a solution based on the radical perspective.) (4)

When it comes to health care coverage, we estimate that about 85 million people in the United States are uninsured or underinsured.

9) Using the Six-Core Cube Guide introduced in chapter 5 of the VOTE textbook, assess the following problem. (Remember the radical perspective lies behind this cube, and is used to from that perspective identify the problematic aspects of a situation that are brought about by agents in a capitalist system, and offers an alternative approach for a solution based on the radical perspective.) (4)

Earth just had its hottest January in recorded history

10) What might a conservative / liberal position, what might a radical position suggest for the direction of technological change? (2)

(This is an open question. Just stay consistent with the assumptions behind those policy positions as they are presented in chapters 4 and 5 of the VOTE textbook that you find in the files reading material folder on canvas. Slide sets 9 and 10.)

In 2004, Marianne Bertrand and Sendhil Mullainathan conducted an experiment in which they sent fake resumes out to hundreds of real open job postings. These resumes were identical except for one controlhalf the fictional applicants names were African American-sounding and half were White-sounding. They found that the white names got 50 percent more callbacks for interviews across all industries and job types, suggesting the presence of racial bias or subconscious attitude formation and stereotyping. Over a decade later, employment discrimination, police bias toward certain groups, and discriminatory housing or financial policies are still at the forefront of current affairs.

For this Discussion, you examine an experience with racial or ethnic bias that you or someone you know has had. As a human and social services professional, drawing awareness to these experiences and your reactions to them may help you begin the process of bringing ethical decision-making sensibilities to culturally or racially sensitive issues, a topic you continue to explore throughout the course.

To Prepare:

• Review this weeks readings, focusing on any implications of your lived experiences with racial or ethnic bias toward clients in your professional area of interest.
• Select a personal experience from your community or workplace related to racial or ethnic bias that you or someone you know has had.
• Reflect on how you handled the situation you selected and whether you would address it differently if you could.

By Day 4

Post a description of the experience you selected. Next, explain how you addressed the bias at the time. Finally, now that you have had time to reflect and consider the situation, explain whether you would have addressed it differently. If so, how? If not, why?

Ethical dilemmas are situations that involve conflicting moral or ethical choices. To truly meet the criteria for an ethical dilemma, there must first be a choice. If applicable laws say that client records must be kept in a password-protected location on your computer, there is no choice or moral decision involved. The action needed is very clear cut. Secondly, in order to be an ethical dilemma, the two available options must be in direct conflict or contradiction to one another, such that choosing one would result in the violation of the other. Human and social service professionals confront ethical dilemmas regularly. In these situations, professionals must think critically and consult with colleagues and ethical codes in order to minimize ethical impact.

In the media entitled Is It an Ethical Dilemma? in this weeks Learning Resources, there are two human and social services professionals discussing professional issues they are each having. Listen to each and consider which one represents an ethical dilemma. After you are finished, return to this page to begin your Discussion.

For this Discussion, you analyze an ethical dilemma that you have experienced in your own professional workplace or community work (not your personal or family life). You also use information from this weeks Learning Resources and from your own research to determine whether the ethical dilemma should have been handled differently.

To Prepare:

• Using the Walden Library or professional resources on the Internet, research and select a journal article, professional newsletter, or other professional publication that outlines an ethical dilemma in a human or social services agency environment. Consider how the dilemma was solved. Did the parties involved apply codes of ethics or ethical decision-making models?
• Select an ethical dilemma from your own professional experience (or community work) and reflect on how you managed the situation. Then consider how you might apply any information or techniques from the article you analyzed to your own past ethical dilemma.

By Day 3

Post a description of an ethical dilemma that you experienced in your professional workplace or in your community work (not your personal or family life). Explain how you managed the situation and why. Next, using information from the article you found in your research, explain whether you would now manage the situation you experienced differently and why.

Quantitative and qualitative research are the foundations of scientific research studies. Quantitative social science research tries to understand social science by creating quantifiable evidence, like numbers and statistics, analyzed over many different instances to show reliability and validity. You can remember this easily by thinking quantitative = quantity; quantity = numbers. Qualitative research tries to understand social science by exploring the totality of a situation, like through observing behavior and monitoring communications, then analyzing them to comprehend the why and how of the behavior. You can remember this easily by thinking qualitative = quality; quality = character. These are very simplistic and generalized definitions that apply to a broad range of sciences, but they are useful as a starting point for this Discussion.

In this Discussion, you analyze the differences between qualitative and quantitative research and conceptualize your own definition of each. Be sure to focus on the specific details of how these research methods are applied to social sciences and human services, providing examples where necessary.

By Day 4

Post your own definition of quantitative and qualitative research. Explain the differences between them, and then provide an example of each.
