AB 203 Unit 2 Assignment Memo to General Motors

General Motors’ Commitment to Diversity

Read the vignette “General Motors’ Commitment to Diversity” at the end of Chapter 3. This vignette explores General Motors. Back in the 1980s, valuing diversity was far from the minds of the leadership at General Motors. True, GM had established a program to promote minority-owned dealerships, but there were problems within the company. Women and minorities complained to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that the carmaker was discriminating against them. In 1984, the EEOC and GM reached a $42.4 million settlement in which GM promised to promote women and minorities into management positions. Since then, the company has never swerved from that effort at inclusiveness. Today GM garners praise as a company that far exceeds legal standards for equal employment opportunity.

Directions

Read the vignette “General Motors’ Commitment to Diversity” at the end of Chapter 3. Imagine that you are a consultant to GM and have been asked to help them identify ways to avoid discrimination.

AB 203 Unit 6 Assignment Managing Talent-How Google Searches for Performance Measures

In this Assignment, through the Google performance measurement case study, you will engage in developing the following professional competencies:

Obtain and process information
Managing Talent: How Google Searches for Performance Measures

If there’s one thing Google knows, it’s how to use software to wade through massive amounts of data and find what is most relevant. So it should come as no surprise that when the information technology powerhouse wanted to develop better managers, it started by looking at the data. As it turns out, Google found plenty to learn. Like most businesses, Google had files of data about managers— results of performance reviews, surveys measuring employee attitudes, and nominations for management awards. Unlike most businesses, Google figured out how to analyze all that data to come up with a profile of the kind of manager whose team is most successful.

The company’s people analytics group (which brings together psychologists, MBAs, and data-mining experts) analyzed 10,000 observations about managers in terms of more than 100 variables, looking for patterns. The initial finding was a surprise to some at a company that had once operated without managers: teams with good managers outperform teams with bad managers. But what makes a good manager? Under the leadership of Google’s HR vice president, Laszlo Bock, the company distilled its findings into a list of the behaviors that get results:

1. Be a good coach.
2. Empower your team. Do not micromanage.
3. Express interest in team members’ success and personal well-being. 4. Don’t be a sissy: Be productive and results-oriented.
5. Be a good communicator, and listen to your team.
6. Help your employees with career development.
7. Have a clear vision and strategy for the team.
8. Have key technical skills so you can help advise the team.

In this Assignment, through the Suntrust Banks business memo, you will engage in developing the following professional competencies:

· Written communication
Sun Trust Takes Training to the Bank

Read the vignette “SunTrust Takes Training to the Bank” at the end of Chapter 7. Review the information about needs assessment, training methods and measuring the success of training programs in Chapter 7.

SunTrust Banks, based in Atlanta, operates the eighth-largest U.S. bank. It also has several subsidiaries offering other financial services such as mortgage banking, insurance, and
Investment management. The bank serves customers in Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia. As the banking industry struggled to recover from the recent financial crisis and recession (and new regulations) that followed, SunTrust’s management decided that the key to the company’s future lay with fully engaging employees in serving customers. That approach is consistent with the company’s mission of “helping people and institutions prosper.”

SunTrust began to restructure its banking business in accordance with three guiding principles: (1) operating as a single team; (2) putting clients first; and (3) focusing on profitable growth. This principle-driven approach to growth requires managers who know how to foster employees’ commitment to their work and their clients. To that end, SunTrust has made it a priority to develop managers’ leadership skills. First-line managers receive training in how to coach and lead others. Middle managers work with mentors on their leadership skills. Upper level managers use assessments by peers, subordinates, and others to identify areas for growth and, with coaching, develop leadership skills taught during a three-week training program. SunTrust also selects its top 3,500 managers to receive training in employee engagement. For training aimed at emotions to be relevant, it must enable better job performance. The bank also provides learning support on its SunTrust Learning Portal. Since SunTrust initiated the new training programs, it has seen evidence of improved performance.

Directions:

You are the Training Manager for SunTrust. The Director of HR has some specific inquiries about the new programs and the future of the training programs. Address the following four items of concern from the Director in a 500-word business memo.

1. Define “needs assessment”. Identify the three questions that SunTrust would need to answer to assess their needs in the broad areas of organization, person, and tasks.

2. List an appropriate traditional training method that could be used to foster ethical behavior at SunTrust.

3. List two appropriate ways that Sun Trust could measure the success of its training program.
