Week 4 Learning Log


USE of SHRM Connect:

Technology and AI have significant effects on the role of an HR professional. For example, SHRM and SRM connect! This week, it is my goal to identify the tools used in not only my organization, but with other organizations. What are some example of the tools used in your organization, and how to do they affect your organization?

Week 2 Learning Log

Post 1: This week I completed a Capacity Audit for the sales department of Hanna Instruments, where I am currently employed. Capacity audits or capacity builder are tools that HR professionals use to evaluate as well as build an organization (Ulrich, 2012, pg. 109). Capacity audits determine what is needed and where the focus should be for improvement (Ulrich, 2012, pg. 109). Below is my capacity audit that I filled out from completing exercise 5.1 (Ulrich, 2012, pg. 117): After completing my Capability Audit, I found the three most critical areas are Talent, Shared Mindset and Accountability.

Week 5 Learning Log

Overall Observations/Reflection: Over the last four weeks, I have been actively using Blogger alongside SHRM connect. SHRM Connect is a part of SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management). SHRM Connect is a community where a member of SHRM can create discussion posts, ask questions, reply, and get answers on a variety of HR-related topics. It is used by students and HR professionals alike and is also a great way to get connected with others in the HR field as well as to obtain relevant ideas.

The weekly topics were as follows: 6 Paradoxes Facing HR: I became familiarized with the six paradoxes of HR. I focused my research as well as a blog post on the organization and individual paradox es, and how it's critical as an HR professional to be aware of employee needs within an organ...
