\nIntroduction:
\nIn today\u2019s hypercompetitive business environment, an organization\u2019s sustainable competitive advantage is derived largely from intangible assets: human, social, and intellectual capital. Intangible assets are produced by skilled, capable workers. Human resource professionals enable current and future organizational competitiveness by maintaining an adequate supply of people with the skills, knowledge, and abilities needed to produce these resources. This is accomplished through workforce planning, recruitment and selection of top-quality talent, and effective employee relations management. As a human resource professional, your ability to effectively identify your organization\u2019s need for employees, plan and implement employee recruitment and selection strategies, and manage employee relations will directly contribute to your organization\u2019s success.
\nScenario:
\nYou are the newly appointed director of human resource management for the police department of a city in the northeastern United States. Your organization has struggled to hire new police officers for some time. Your predecessor attempted to increase recruitment and selection of new officers by implementing an employee referral plan; however, the number of new officers hired through referrals has fallen short of hiring goals. The need for police officers intensified when your city\u2019s newly elected mayor promised to lower crime by increasing the number of police patrols in high-crime areas. The police department has met the need for increased patrols by assigning existing police officers additional hours and paying overtime wages. As the number of hours worked and overtime payments increased over time, the practice\u2014originally intended to be a short-term remedy\u2014attracted unwanted attention. A front-page article in your city\u2019s newspaper has revealed that three police officers earned higher annual salaries than the mayor, due to excessive overtime. Stung and embarrassed by this disclosure, the mayor fired your predecessor and put you in his place. Both the mayor and your boss have given orders to \u201creduce overtime by hiring new police officers immediately!\u201d The mayor\u2019s mandate to cut the overtime of currently employed police officers has created an employee relations problem. Officers on the city\u2019s police force have worked extra hours for so long that the extra overtime pay is now perceived as an entitlement. Some police officers have assumed loans or increased living expenses in the expectation that the opportunity to earn overtime pay would continue. The officers are now unhappy that their ability to earn overtime pay will be greatly reduced (by the hiring of new police recruits) and are upset by the manner in which they learned about city management\u2019s decision to cut overtime pay. Representatives of the officer\u2019s union have responded with the attached \u201cMemo on Police Officers\u2019 Reaction to Planned Cuts in Overtime Pay.\u201d You must manage the current conflict between the police officers and city management and try to prevent future conflicts
\nby developing a workplace culture that creates a positive work environment for employees and management. You will also revise job descriptions and selection procedures using the attached \u201cJob Description of City Police Officers\u201d to make managing workplace conflict a required job competency.
\nRequirements:
\nCreate a report (suggested length of 3\u20135 pages) in which you discuss strategies for managing
\nconflict caused by cuts in overtime pay.
\nA. Discuss three causes of workplace conflict between the city\u2019s police officers and city management in the current situation.
\nB. Discuss two possible short-term outcomes if the conflict is not resolved.
\nC. Discuss two possible long-term outcomes if the conflict is not resolved.
\nD. Discuss three possible actions for resolving the current conflict about overtime pay.
\nE. Design a plan to create a more positive work culture in the city\u2019s police department by doing the following:
\n1. Discuss two basic components of a work culture that prevent negative conflict.
\n2. Create two new specifications for the \u201crequired\u201d section of the attached \u201cJob
\nDescription of City Police Officers\u201d that relate to a candidate\u2019s ability to effectively
\nmanage workplace conflict.
\n3. Create three situational interview questions designed to illuminate a job candidate\u2019s
\ncompetency in managing workplace conflict.
\nF. Explain two methods of evaluating improvements in employee relations in the city police department.
\nG.
