2002EHR Human Resource Management Principles

REPORT DETAILS: MANAGING DIVERSITY:

You are to write an analytical report relating to managing diversity in a Human Resource Management (HRM) context. The task includes:

1. Choosing a diversity topic (choose one of the topics below).
2. Choosing two areas of HRM (see below) to focus on (i.e. your approach to the issue).
3. Searching the literature for relevant theories, concepts, and empirical findings.
4. Constructing a report that provides an in-depth analysis of the diversity issue using relevant literature (identified at iii.).
5. Providing clear best practice recommendations that need to be implemented by HR within a large organization (at strategic and operational levels) to address the chosen diversity issue. These recommendations need to be based on the research literature.

The report should incorporate a minimum of eight (8) scholarly, peer reviewed journal articles published within the last 10 years.  The prescribed textbook may be referenced, but will not count as one of the 8 required references. You may cite articles dated prior to the last 10 years, but this does not count towards the minimum eight references. Websites (including dictionaries, encyclopaedias, business magazines available online, and blog posts) will not be included in assessing whether you have met the minimum referencing requirements (i.e. these are not scholarly, peer reviewed sources and should be avoided in academic writing). The report should not use other books as references.
