Human Resource Exam

1. Compensation & Benefits
You are continuing to provide human resource management consulting to Julia, who owns a dry cleaning business in downtown Albany. Previously, you provided advice regarding HR strategy, job design, recruitment, selection, training, and onboarding. Now, Julia would like your assistance with establishing the other parts of her company’s HR system.
To-date, Julia has been copying the compensation practices of other comparable local businesses. She would like to improve employee performance, retention, and engagement through a reformed compensation system. She would also like to ensure the best possible return on investment for time and money spent on employee compensation.
a) Beyond mirroring competitors, how should Julia determine how much to pay her employees? Is copying the competition a good long-term strategy, or are there limitations to it? Where should she seek information about pay standards in her industry? Should her company use short-term incentives? Why or why not?
b) Given that most benefits cost money, why should Julia offer benefits to employees instead of increasing their pay? How should Julia decide which benefits her company should offer? Provide two specific recommendations regarding types of benefits that Julia might consider offering.
c) Briefly discuss the importance of non-monetary benefits, what non-monetary benefits look like in practice, and key steps that Julia should take to implement non-monetary benefits successfully.

2. Performance Management
Julia wants to ensure that she is taking appropriate steps to get the best possible performance from her employees. She wants her employees to clearly understand what they should be doing while feeling well-supported by management.
a) Develop an outline of a performance management system for Julia that can apply broadly throughout her business. Specify which forms of benchmarking you recommend and why. What type of routines should Julia develop around performance management, and what should the key features of the company’s performance management system include?
b) Julia wants your opinion about performance management. What can go wrong in the performance management process, what is absolutely critical to do, and why is performance management important? What practical advice can you give to Julia?

3. Ethics and Legal Compliance
What advice would you give Julia regarding ethical decision-making and legal compliance when making HR decisions? Think beyond the advice you have already given, which has likely included discussion of Title VII and other antidiscrimination laws. What should Julia do if she has a question about a legal or ethical matter?

4. Closing Advice
As you conclude your consulting work, Julia would like your personal advice regarding other important issues in HR that she should be aware of, beyond what you have already discussed.
Choose three distinct major topics that we have discussed in this course and that have not been covered in either exam. For each topic, what critical information should Julia know about the topic? Why is it important for her to be aware of? What practical advice can you offer her related to the topic?

Apply what you have learned this week and enhance a photo of your choice.

Apply what you have learned this week and enhance a photo of your choice.
For this assignment:
You will need to submit a “before” photo (i.e., shot as/is with no enhancements) and your “after” picture. The easiest way for you to complete this task is by submitting one .psd file (native Photoshop file) with before and after layers. Label one layer “original,” then make a copy and label it “enhanced” or “after.”
Complete all your tweaks on the enhanced layer(s), as you see fit.
You will be evaluated on your successful application (when needed) of brightness/contrast correction, cropping, and color correction. This may initially seem daunting, but if you follow along with the tutorials, you will have the general knowledge you need to make these enhancements.
The rest is up to your eye, so have some fun with this!
