1) Please compare and contrast between the concepts of “core employees” and “contingent employees”. Please provide one example for each concept that highlights your understanding. * Core employees are workers who hold full time jobs in organizations. These employees usually provide some essential job tasks that require commitment in the organizations (as in governmental organizations) * Contingent workers include individuals who are typically hired for shorter periods of time. They perform specific tasks that often require special job skills and are employed when an organization is experiencing significant deviations in its workflow (as in non-profitable organizations).
2) Please explain the role of the HR department during downsizing activities. Please provide an example that highlights your understanding. * HRM must ensure that proper communications occur during downsizing. * HRM must minimize the negative effects of rumors and ensure that individuals are kept informed with factual data. * HRM must prepare individuals for the change. This requires clear and extensive communications of why the change will occur, what is to be expected, and the effects it will have on employees. * Example: During our removing to our new place, where we will replace office boys by machines, HRM ensured that proper communication occurred during this downsizing, - but it was not clear enough. Because some office boys asked if they will stay with us in new place, and HRM confirmed their existence. Office boys understood that all of them will stay, but frankly three of them are fired last week.
3) Please identify and explain the competencies that need to exist in any HR professional? *
