Instructions
Hide
The Discussion Board question for Week 1 is:
Consider the four generations of workers now in the workplace. How do they fit in the generational stereotype? How do they differ? Are there reasons, other than age, that account for similarities and differences in the workers? (Chapter 1 - use your textbook to support your DB answer.)
Module Introduction
In the first week of this course, you will become familiar with the course policies and program policies outlined in your course syllabus. During the course online lecture, we will review the course syllabus, discussion boards, assignments and due dates within this course. In addition to this, you will be provided with examples of Human Resources case studies, and presentations to serve as a benchmark for your academic submissions.
This week, we will explore the context and environment of Human Resource Management. Chapter 1 discusses Human Resource Management (HRM) and explains what public and nonprofit organizations are, how society and workplaces have changed, and the HRM implications of those changes. Chapter 2 explains how Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) and human resources planning are imperative, if agencies are going to remain competitive and be able to accomplish their missions. It also discusses how the role of human resources specialist needs to change as well, and explains human resources information systems (HRIS). You may need to review lessons learned in the Introduction and Chapters 1 & 2 to assist you in answering the discussion board questions. (MO, 1,2,3,4,5)
In Chapter 1, students will be able to specifically:
Understand the responsibilities and roles of human resources management,
Understand what constitutes public organizations,
Explain why civil service systems or merit systems exist in the public sector,
Understand what constitutes nonprofit organizations, and
identify the challenges facing human resources management today.
In Chapter 2, students will
Describe the changing role of human resources management,
Define human resources planning and identify steps in the planning process,
Identify factors to consider in forecasting the supply and demand for strategic human resources management (SHRM), and
Explain why SHRM is critical for public and nonprofit organizations.
We will also watch and discuss the youtube video Four Generations in the Workplace.

Most business academics believe that the workplace is divided into four distinct generations: Baby Boomers, Veterans, Generation X, and Generation Y employees (Pynes, 2008). Individuals develop erroneous impressions, which contributes to the development of generational stereotypes. Study findings confirm this notion that generations are far more likely to consider themselves as distinct from previous generations than the actual differences shown by the investigation.
Each generation has unique characteristics, beliefs, and work attitudes as a result of their life experiences. Firms must make considerable adjustments to their recruitment, benefits, and company culture to integrate these diverse generations successfully into the workplace. With four generations in the workforce, each with their own set of ideas and attitudes, there is plenty of potential for generational interaction and the emergence of unfavorable stereotypes. Allowing negative generational stereotypes to infiltrate the results of our relationship creates unnecessary tension, a poisoned environment, and a discounting of others. Fear, despair, victimization, and stereotypin
