Alaska Airlines Organizational Needs

/in /by

2-2 Small Group Jigsaw Learning Discussion: Analysis and Diagnosis of Alaska Airlines: Navigating Change

In your final project, you will be developing a change plan for the “Alaska Airlines: Navigating Change” case study. In order to begin developing this change plan, you will need to analyze the case study and diagnose the problem.

In this activity, your instructor will assign you to a group with five of your peers, and each group will be assigned its own discussion topic. Each member of the group will be given one of the six parts for the Analysis and Diagnosis section of the final project case study (problem, impact, organizational needs, variables, underlying causes, and gaps). You are to become an expert on your piece of the puzzle and should post your answer (along with the prompt your instructor gives you) so the rest of the class can benefit from your piece of the analysis.

You should then read all of your assigned group members’ initial posts in order to gain a better understanding of the case study and to compare it with your own understanding.

You will be ultimately responsible for understanding all the different parts of the analysis and diagnosis for the final project (Section I, A–F), but this collaboration from your peers will help you get started.

Respond to at least two of your peers with any questions you have about their analysis and diagnosis, and compare their answer to your own understanding of the case.

Context and conditions of assessment This assessment should be completed in the classroom as part of the simulated work environment. The assessor will advise dates for submission.

Instructions to student All assessment activities relate to a fictional organisation, King Edward VII College. As indicated in

the scenario, the College is currently reviewing its workforce planning.

 

Before you commence this assessment, make sure that you read all of the assessment tasks

thoroughly, including the scenario for the assessment.

 

All of the assessment activities will be completed in class and under conditions that simulate the workplace. You will need to meet timelines specified by your assessor, as well as work with others as part of a team.

 

Assessment Scenario

 

King Edward VII College has been operating for 5 years. The College is based in Melbourne CBD and offers

a range of courses in management, marketing, human resources and international business and currently has

around has around 500 students enrolled across all of its courses. The College is very popular due to its

competitive pricing structure, innovative teaching methods and state of the art facilities.

 

Due to the success of the College, the College plans to establish two additional campuses, one in Brisbane and

one in Sydney. The Brisbane campus will commence in October 2015 and Sydney in early 2016. Campus locations

are already in place with the process being overseen mainly by the CEO and Finance Manager. No staff have been

employed as yet but it is anticipated that each campus will require a receptionist, student services officer and 4

trainers. All other staff functions will be completed by existing staff at the Sydney

campus until such time as student numbers increase substantially. It is anticipated that maximum student

numbers at the new campuses will be up to 50 students per campus.

 

The College currently employs 24 staff members that includes the CEO, a Marketing Manager and

Marketing Assistant, Human Resources Manager, Finance Manager, Administration Manager, Office

Assistant, Receptionist, Academic Manager, Student Services Officer and approximately 14 trainers.

 

Further details regarding the above staff will be provided to you by your assessor in a workforce

information table and that also shows staff turnover statistics.

 

As the Human Resources Manager you have been asked by the CEO to develop a workforce plan for King

Edward VII College for the next two years (Jan 2015 to December 2016). The CEO considers that this is

particularly important given the company’s expansion plans and because of the importance of workforce planning

in general. He is also concerned about the staff turnover rate for trainers (see workforce information table

provided to you) and has asked you to look at this more closely and develop strategies to address this.

 

You will also be provided with King Edward VII College Strategic Plan that sets out its strategic objectives, as

well as operational priorities. Ensure you review the Plan in detail so you understand the organisation’s

objectives and goals and use that in your development of the workforce plan.

 

The workforce plan should address workforce needs for the current Melbourne campus, as well as in

relation to the two new campuses.

 

In developing the plan, you will need to consider the following:

 

• How diverse is the current workforce of King Edward VII College with regards to age, gender, culture?

• What are the organisation’s requirements for a diverse workforce as reflected in its

strategic objectives?

• What factors affect current workforce supply – specifically for the education sector for King Edward VII

College? You should research and identify factors that apply including current economic conditions,

education industry trends, skills and labour shortages, as well as overall unemployment rates. • What is the current staff turnover rate? What issues present with the turnover rate?

 

You will need to submit your workforce plan to the CEO (this will be your assessor). You should also develop

a short briefing paper to accompany your workforce plan and that briefly outlines your analysis and research

(as per the above dot points) and how you have used this to inform the workforce plan.

 

Note that in the workforce plan there is a section to document key issues (both current and future) and

you should use this to document key issues arising from your research and analysis above.

 

In your workforce plan you should document objectives based on the company’s overall strategic

objectives and operational priorities as documented in the Strategic and Operational Plan. The objectives

should be SMART objectives supported by key performance indicators.

 

Your workforce plan should list each of objectives, as well as overall strategies and specific actions to

achieve objectives. The template provided by your assessor will ensure that you set out the workforce plan as

required.

In your plan you will need to address as a minimum: • Strategies that can be used to address the high staff turnover in relation to trainers • Strategies for retaining skilled labour • Strategies to build workforce diversity and cross-cultural management • Strategies for sourcing skilled labour both in relation to the new and existing campuses.

• Strategies to address contingencies. The strategies you develop should also factor in the

scenario where skilled labour is difficult to find for the new campuses.

 

Your assessor will provide you with the date for the submission of your plan and covering report. All of your work should be in clear and concise English. You should email your plan and covering report to your assessor in the role of the CEO. Your email should seek agreement and support for the objectives and proposed performance indicators.

 

Your assessor will email you back in the role of the CEO expressing support or otherwise for your plan. Your assessor may provide you with comments to update your plan which you should incorporate into your plan and send to your assessor as required.

Resources required ▪ Computer and Microsoft Office ▪ Power point projector

▪ Space for presentation

▪ Access to the internet for research

Context and conditions of assessment This assessment should be completed in the classroom as part of the simulated work environment. The assessor will advise dates for submission.

Instructions to student

 

The approved workforce plan includes the objective to increase diversity, implement succession planning arrangements and to be an employer of choice. Strategies included to achieve this are flexible working arrangements and a new professional development program.

 

Your task is to prepare for, and provide a presentation to staff about a new flexible working arrangements program and a new professional development program to assist in developing existing staff as part of succession planning.

 

Assume that there are currently no flexible working arrangements in place and that the professional

development arrangements are adhoc, relying on individual staff members to undertake their own professional

development.

 

Research the latest flexible working arrangements and professional development programs used by

companies and based on your research, develop and make notes on suitable flexible working arrangements

and a professional development program for King Edward VII College staff.

 

You should ensure that the arrangements you suggest are arrangements that are applicable to a real life

working environment, as well as specifically relevant to the operations of King Edward VII College. For

example, flexible working arrangements may vary depending on the staff member. For example, trainers may

not be able to utilise flexible working arrangements at all times when classes are scheduled. You should

consider if and how you will be able to offer such arrangements in this case.

development opportunities there will be, employee budget for professional development and how to

plan and apply for professional development opportunities. You should also indicate when both of the above arrangements will commence.

 

You should provide a suitable introduction to your presentation. Your assessor and fellow students will attend

the presentation in the role of King Edward VII College staff.

 

You can invite questions during or at the end of the presentations and you should ensure you answer

all questions clearly and concisely.

 

You will be assessed on your use of effective communication skills, including speaking clearly and

concisely, responding to questions and active listening.

Case Study

B.R Investments is a reputed finance company having 15 branches in different part of the country. In the home office there are more than 200 employees. This company has a performance rating under which the employees are rated at six months intervals by a committee of two executives. Graphic scales have been used as means of appraisal. The qualities considered are responsibility, initiative, and interest in work, leadership potential, co-operative attitude and community activity. After the performance is evaluated, the ratings are discussed with the concerned employees by their immediate boss who counsels them. The ratings aroused to influence promotions and salary adjustments the employees and also as a criterion for assigning further rating for them.

Recently three employees of the company called on the company’s president to express their dissatisfaction with the ratings they had received. Their scores and composite ratings had been discussed with them. Because their ratings were comparatively low, they had been denied annual increments in salary. Approximately, two thirds of all the employees received such increments. The aggrieved employees argued that their ratings did not accurately represent their qualifications or performance. They insisted that “community activity” was not actually a part of their job and that what they do off the job is none of the company’s business. They expressed their opinion that employees should organize union and insist that salary increase be automatic.

The threat of a union caused concern to the officers of the company. This particular experience convinced the top officers that ratings may represent a serious hazard to satisfactory relationship with employees. Even the chief executive finds that performance appraisal is a dangerous source of friction and its hazards outweigh its values; so it should be discontinued altogether.

Questions:

1. How far do you agree with the management that performance appraisal should be discontinued?

2. If you were the HR manager, how would you tackle the situation?

3. What modifications would you suggest in the performance appraisal system of the company?

Components of APRP

This course focuses on the models, concepts, and phases of the ADDIE (ADiME) Model of assessing, designing, developing, implementing and evaluating a training and development program. This paper is an opportunity to apply the models and concepts to the case study entitled “A.P. Moller – Maersk Group: Evaluating Strategic Talent Management Initiatives.” The elements of your paper are to be helpful to Moller and Maersk (M&M); to improve their effectiveness through the development of a training program. A suggested way to accomplish this project is to read and become familiar with the case study first. As you learn about the concepts and models in the text, see how they may apply to the situation (case) to most benefit the organization. Do not wait to do all the writing during the last few days before the deadline. So, the idea is — you learn and then you write (apply) the concepts/models to the case. If you do this week to week, writing the paper will be much more manageable.

 

Using the Training and & HRD Process Model (Figure 1-7 of text, page 27) as the roadmap, you are to develop a Leadership Development training program for the “mission critical” group which is part of the top 120 positions in M&M. Note the text has chapters providing detailed information about each phase of this model. Note that the text model is called ADiME (assessment, design, implementation {also includes development but not framed that way}, and evaluation), which folds in development as part of implementation. For the purposes of this paper, organize the paper around the ADDIE Model (Google it).

 

 

Also note that additional components (Coaching and Performance Management, etc.). These components are in addition to the ones provided in the author’s model (page 27). However the additional components added to the model below are included in other chapters of the text as well.

 

The grading rubric uses a slightly different model called ADDIE (assessment, design, development, implementation, and evaluation). So make sure that when you write your paper that you address the items in the ADDIE grading rubric!

 

As you write your paper, present the components in the order provided below. Headings are in bold and these must be included in your paper in the order displayed below. Additionally, APA formatting must be incorporated into the paper. In writing anything you must keep the readers in mind and write in such a way that the reader finds it easy to follow your writing without having to read 2-3 times in an effort to understand what you are trying communicate. You may use headings interspersed within and in addition to the headings (bold-below) that the paper requires.

 

After you write the introduction of your paper, you’ll need to include headers corresponding to the grading rubric – assessment, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Certainly, you may have sub headers if that helps the organization of your paper. The statements below are from the grading rubric. You need to address these ADDIE Model phases as you develop a training program for M&M. These elements are listed below which include elements from the grading rubric.

 

Assessment

Distinguishes current HRD gaps from systemic (non-HRD) gaps, anticipates HRD needs based on organizational strategy, and anticipates HRD needs due to changes in technology

 

You are to briefly tell how you would conduct an assessment.
