Human Resource Management is a group of people who work together to ensure that human resources are successfully managed for the benefit of individuals, society, and organisations. Since the pandemic, the current situation among employees has made the work-from-home concept necessary. It almost looks to be a win-win situation, where the employers retain competent staff while cutting costs, and the employees enjoy a home-like setting. A remote effort plan must provide a window into the workday of the remote worker so that productivity may be monitored. Workforces that work from home have job obligations that do not need them to be physically present at the office.

Questions:

Select a company of your choice and write a report based on the following:

1. Introduction – briefly describe the company chosen and summary on the case.
2. Evaluate any FIVE (5) most challenging aspect of work from home in your company and discuss the techniques on how to overcome those challenges.
3. Propose any THREE (3) human resource functions that need to be changed due to the work from home practices. Discuss the reasons on the need of changes.
4. Describeany THREE (3) types of training and development, and training titles that are suitable for work from home employees to improve employee engagement. Justify your rationale.
5. Conclusion.

Present your analysis and finding in a report format.

Coursework policies

1. All coursework submitted must include the signed coversheet

• Students MUST keep a copy of all submitted work for reference purposes prior to the original being handed in and returned. This will provide proof that the work was completed, in the event that the work goes astray.

• All work must be submitted in the mode instructed by the Module Leader.

• Work submitted under the student’s ID must only be the work of that student.  All information sources must be acknowledged, by providing a reference to the source both within the text and in the form of a reference list and/or bibliography at the end of the submission. Not to do so is plagiarism, which is academic misconduct and will be dealt with as set out in the rules and regulations of MAHSA University.

• You should provide your word count at the end of your report or essay. This should exclude your abstract, contents page, reference list and/or bibliography and appendices. You must not exceed the permitted word count by more than 10%.  If your work is significantly shorter, you will probably have failed to provide the level of content required.

• If you submit work after the submission deadline, you will fail in the coursework component. However, the Module Leader may comment on the quality of the work for learning purposes. The only exception to this is if you experience very serious circumstances which prevented you submitting your work on time, in which case you can apply for “extenuation”. For more information you may refer to your lecturer.

• You must Turnitin your report. The maximum permitted level of Plagiarism is 30%. But ensure that a single or a few sources do not contribute to this 30%.
