Assignment: Human Resources Case Studies

Have you ever thought about the importance of having not only the right people hired for the right positions but also aligning their skills sets to the overall business goals of the organization? Consider a simplified example: If a company wanted to hire someone to greet and assist customers, a candidate who is cheerful and has customer service experience would surely be hired over a candidate who has difficulty working with people. HR professionals still handle traditional processes such as benefits and hiring, but their evolving role as a shared decision maker in overall business strategy allows them to have a greater impact on organizational success. For example, if an HR professional shares leadership’s vision of how the company should shift direction within 5 years, he or she will be more keen to hire someone who has the skills to lead the company into the future, as opposed to hiring someone who could get the job done today but would be of little help as the company grows.

In this Assignment, you will respond to a set of questions on HR’s role and function within an organization. You will review case studies and identify how HR professionals contribute to an organization’s strategies.

  • How does Netflix’s monitoring of its employees’ performance reflect the evolution of HR to 21st-century practices? In your answer, describe more traditional performance management practices as well as the contemporary ones Netflix uses. (75–150 words, or 1–2 paragraphs) 
  • Based on the HR strategy presented in the Netflix case, what skills would an HR professional need to implement this strategy effectively? In your answer, be sure to address all four steps of the Netflix HR strategy. (150–225 words, or 2–3 paragraphs)
