2. First, introduce yourself to the class. Include your major and any experience you have in human resources. Then address the prompt below. Human resource professionals frequently handle employee complaints. The complaints can be of any nature, including bullying, harassment, discrimination, and so forth. It is the responsibility of the human resources professional to research the complaint, validate whether the complaint is legitimate, and identify solutions to the problem within the confines of the law. For your initial post, address the following: Select one of the following complaints HR professionals receive: Retaliation: A situation where an employee who reports on harmful or illegal practices in their organization receives disciplinary consequences from their employer or manager (e.g., termination, abuse, reprimands or progressive discipline, poor performance evaluations, transfer to a lower job, threats against immigration status, etc.). Disability: Discrimination based on any condition of the body or mind (impairment) that makes it more difficult for the person with the condition to do certain activities (activity limitation) and interact with the world around them (participation restrictions). Race: Discrimination based on physical characteristics that define a person as being a member of a specific group. Ethnicity: Discrimination based on cultural characteristics that define a person as being a member of a specific group. Nationality: Discrimination based on nationality: the legal sense of belonging to a specific political nation state. Explore the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) website to learn more about the complaint you selected. Typing the complaint type into the EEOC search bar will produce key documents, data, and cases for you to review. Include the complaint you selected in the subject line for your post. Describe HR’s role in preventing this type of complaint. Consider what you have learned about the penalty for not complying with regulations and laws. Also, draw on your own experience to support your response. 3. One of this course’s primary goals is to find and develop your leadership identity. Your ideas about what a leader does and how a leader acts may change as you progress through the course. You and your classmates may develop different ideas, and that’s okay. The concept of leadership can mean different things to different people. For this discussion, address the following prompts: Introduce yourself to the class. Include your major, where you live, what you prefer to be called, and anything you would like to share about yourself. What is your current definition of leadership based on your professional and personal experiences? Reflect on specific characteristics, values, and beliefs in your definition. You can use the textbook and other resources to help, but your definition should come from your experiences. Provide examples to help your peers understand your definition. Review the Leadership Development Action Plan and complete the first two columns. Share the three areas for improvement you identified and the reasons you chose them. Save your work on this document because you will update it throughout the course. In your responses, look for similarities and differences between your peers’ definitions of leadership and the areas of improvement they identified. 4. In this module’s reading, you learned about the first leadership practice: Model the Way. Before you post to this discussion, update the Model the Way column in your Leadership Development Action Plan. Once you have updated your Leadership Development Action Plan, consider the following: How will you use the Model the Way concept to improve each of the areas you identified in Module One? How do your ethics and values influence how you model the way in your professional and personal life? How do these concepts impact your decision-making practices? Leaders sometimes find themselves in situations that challenge their value system or moral compass. They may not agree with the organization’s mission or vision for a specific initiative. If you found yourself in this situation, how would you go about modeling the way as an authentic, servant, or transformational leader? In your responses to peers, discuss some practical ways to apply the Model the Way concept to improve leadership skills.
