In analyzing the concepts discussed in Human Resource Management, I have found an interesting mix of education and forethought into the role of a human resource manager. Many of the aspect of human resource management such as HR planning, recruitment and selection, as well as, human resources development and labor relations all play a significant role in the success of any organization. There are many benefits to the learning that has taken place in this course that has helped me better understand HRM and its roll that will shape not only my position in business now but for future
I am a dedicated educator who has devoted her life to educating low-income families in New Orleans, Louisiana. By pursuing my doctorate at Argosy University, I believe that the rigorous course of study will enhance my knowledge and productivity in the workplace. Argosy University Educational Leadership program is compatible with my career goals. My career goals are to obtain higher education, teach adult learners and to start a non-profit organization. The non-profit organization will focus on low-economics families while giving needed educational services to students who attend the charter schools of Orleans parish. As I researched Argosy University curriculum and conversated with an admission counselor I am convinced the University gives a supportive learning environment for student’s lives and careers.
Delta State University pioneers a path for each and every one of their students by giving them resources such as the international business symposium. Having speakers with very prominent careers, students are given useful insight into the business world, and students learn key characteristics that they need to exhibit in order to have a successful career. These speakers leave a permanent mark on our students and can also serve as a foot in the door for future employment. During DSU’s 2018 International Business symposium, three speakers that proved to be extremely influential were David Abney, Rodney Francis, and Danny Lipe.
When I first began this journey of obtaining my degree I had the goal in mind to continue my education until I receive my Doctoral Degree. By obtaining my Doctoral Degree in Business Administration I can make a difference in people’ lives by sharing the knowledge I have gain through my educational studies and work related experiences. As a student of Saint Leo University I have been able to apply the University’s six core values of Excellence, Community, Respect, Personal Development, Responsible Stewardship, and Integrity to my life experiences. I volunteer at numerous community events, such as the city of Newport News annual South East Community Day, Family Redirection Institute’s C4 annual week long Community Event, and Portsmouth Redevelopment and Housing Authority Community Day Events, that are geared to bring together and empowering the community. Through applying these core values to my lifestyle I have gained more insight and experienced more fulfillment with the achievements I have accomplished. By obtaining my Doctoral Degree I will have the opportunity to expand my knowledge and gain a better perceptive for the corporate environment, community and

I interviewed Rosemarie LeFebvre, who holds the position of the Associate Dean for the Student Success and Retention. Some of the interview questions she responded were; the department purpose, the department objectives and goals, placement in the student services division, activities of the division, student learning outcomes, and description of the students served, and how they assess the department. According to Rosemarie, the college has witnessed a shift in

DSU was founded in 1925, in Cleveland MS, where this school was mainly a predominately ‘White’ institution. Just like other schools in the Deep South, there were several of stipulations for other minorities to attend the universities. DSU has since then allowed every ethnicity to attend the university all over the world. Now for students there are over 60 programs that they can chose from when deciding on a career, whether its online or in a class room setting. Every university in MS are competing with each other, but in my opinion DSU and MS Valley are just a like when I come to colleges in a rural area. DSU is one of the many universities that offer nursing, and aviation program. The main goal for DSU is to increase enrollment and have a higher turnout rate. All schools will see a turnover rate but school officials are trying to change that any way the can. School officials are targeting students in the delta area, instead of targeting other areas in MS. My advice to the school officials will be to expand their horizons, have recruiters go out and promote the university, which would help boost up there retention rate. I will give my recommendations for growth, maturity, and decline for colleges over the state of MS. How can school officials keep students enrolled in school until he or she completes the entire program? I feel that the amount of enrolled individuals inside of a class setting will have an effect on the schools growth. Most students prefer a
This position allowed me to assist incoming students and help them to take control of their education and obtain the careers that they had set for themselves. During my enrollment at the University of Houston (2011) , I
People are biggest asset for every organization and, therefore, to draw, motivate, and preserve the most skilled employees and assign them to jobs for which they are exceptionally well suited is a responsible job for human resource. Therefore, human resources management is done in all type of organizations. Profound management of people is equally indispensable in success of organizations as the sound management of production, finance, and other operations. The human resource management field postulates the infinite diversity of people and their dynamics (McKenzie & Traynor, 2002). To get into this career field, one must have the required education degree by completing many different courses, and have the experience along with skills and
Most organizations view human resources departments as less valuable than other departments because it’s not a revenue- generating department. However, it is quite the opposite because HR brings the organization its most valuable assets, which are its people.
In an era of increasing competitiveness, globalization, economic rationalization, deregulation, technological revolution and changing workforce there is an ever-increasing need for human resource management to be able to capitalize on the special challenges that this changing environment brings. For a company to be able to successfully keep ahead of the competition, human resource management is seen to be a significant contributor.
The role of the human resources (HR) department can play a significant role in the success and achievements of an organization. The department, which has evolved from the
