Team Reflection

To further understand Belbin Team Role Theory, I, together with four students formed a team and simulated as being authorized by the Songjiang Government Bureau to investigate into the current situation and the prospect of the higher education industry in Songjiang District.

What criteria did management utilize to choose the employees that work for them? In order to effectively answer these questions, that is where people like Dr. Kathy Hanisch come into play.

The course project is designed to provide you with a real-life practical application of an organization’s Human Resource benefits program.

My first coachee was not following through with what was agreed upon during the debrief conversations and will not

A teammate must receive a satisfactory or higher to receive a raise from the company during their appraisal as they reflect on their past achievements and weaknesses throughout the year. The lack of a compensating

A well-articulated compensation philosophy drives organizational success by aligning pay and other rewards with business strategy. It provides the foundation for plan design and administration and anchors current and future plans to the company's culture and values (Kaplan, 2006, p.32).
