Introduction

The harsh reality of today’s work environment is that organizations  are dealing with a variety of issues that require strong policies. In  the scenario for this assessment,? you will get to explore one of these  situations and recommend changes to existing policies to deal with  issues like this one.?

Some assessments in this course are based on the CapraTek  Workplace Discrimination simulation (see the second resource activity in  Assessment 3 for more information). The assessments build on each other  and must be completed in sequence.

Introduction

Because of the glowing review you received about the job aid you  developed, your boss has charged you with assessing a workplace incident  involving several CapraTek policies.

Instructions

Based on the CapraTek: Workplace Discrimination incident,  restructure CapraTek’s HRMM policies and procedures to better protect  the organization and its employees.

Address the following elements in your 4`page report:

• Analyze how the policies and mission are communicated at CapraTek  (Employee handbook, meetings, training, medium, location, format, et  cetera).
• Analyze the content within CapraTek’s training events and artifacts.
• Evaluate CapraTek’s reporting and investigation procedures in relation to how they protect both the company and employees.
• Analyze how effective your HR management plan job aid would have  been if applied to CapraTek. (Identify how you would gauge the  effectiveness of the Community Hospital job aid, if it were applied to  this CapraTek incident.)
• Modify CapraTek’s HR management plan, where needed, to better protect the organization and its employees.
