One of the biggest values that I hold is my faith in Christ. CSP assures me that I have made a good decision in being a student and employee. CSP is trying to maintain a Christ-centered culture while providing one of the best education options in the Twin Cities. When I was interviewing Mary Arnold, the director of HR, I was blown away at how CSP really goes through a vigorous process when it comes to hiring the right employees. There is no current affirmative action plan at CSP, but they do try to hire minorities and protected groups of people to diversify their staff’s knowledge set. At first I was a little skeptical that CSP doesn’t have an active affirmative action program; but there is a solid reason for this. CSP staff must go through …show more content…
It is very important that employees get an understanding of what is expected of them while having the chance to socialize with other faculty members. To me, a three day workshop seems a bit light in my opinion, but Mary Arnold gave me multiple subjects that they go over in the onboarding process. Things like organizational culture, the history of CSP, the history of the Missouri Synod Lutheran Church, expectations of faculty members, workloads, committee expectations, benefits, and resources are just a few of the many things that the onboarding process has to offer new CSP faculty members. If I were the one making the decisions at CSP, I would reevaluate what exactly is gone over in the three day workshop. If I feel that further onboarding is needed, I would add a couple of days. The fact that new CSP faculty have an onboarding process means that HR is doing their job getting employees acquainted with …show more content…
Mello says that HR is becoming a more relevant part of organization’s strategic planning process. The biggest part of the strategic planning that HR contributes to is contributing the correct set of people to communicate the overall culture of CSP. To me, one of the biggest reasons why I love CSP as a student is because I can truly feel the love of Christ from the professors. Other colleges either don’t care about showing the love of Christ or they try to force people to believe like they do. I think CSP has the great mixture of showing Christ’s love and letting students believe what they believe without much resistance. As Christians, we forget that the most important part of our lives is our faith in Christ. CSP’s culture tries to remind us that Christ loves us and He only wants the best in our lives. After interviewing the director of HR, I have seen firsthand the ideas behind why CSP’s HR is contributing to the University’s overall strategy. Throughout my first couple of weeks of learning strategic HR management, I have learned that finding the right fit is part of HR contributing to an organization’s strategy. Mary Arnold was a big advocate for finding the right fit when it came to employees. Employees at CSP need to buy into the overall culture before they are even hired. If an employee has different ideas of how they are strategically going to influence CSP, then there would be a conflict

Attracting applicants from all levels of society including the working poor and single parents, recruiting talented workers who are satisfied and motivated has the potential to lead to higher productivity and greater retention (Green, Lopez, Wysocki, Kepner, Farnsworth, & Clark, 2015). The key to our successful Human Resources department is not that we hire a diverse workforce, but that we chose our employees from a diverse pool of representatives of the community. Building a reputation as a diverse inclusive corporation attracts the best from the
We have seen in the past four decades race-based affirmative action programs that have arisen and fitfully developed through judicial challenges. As in most case, the best of intentions do not always lead to positive outcomes. Nothing could be more apt in describing the perilous position we have bestowed upon millions of minority students who have been admitted to higher learning institutions under the auspices of diversity. As illustrated by the standardized test and GPA numbers in Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, the students admitted to the medical school of UC-Davis under their affirmative action policy were extraordinarily less qualified when compared to the student body as a whole. This not only unfairly displaced white and Asian students who would have otherwise been admitted to those spot on merit but also places those underperforming students in an environment in which they are destined to fail.
Richie Washington Prof. Lackey ENGL 1113-01 9 October 2017 How does a Christian Institution Thrive in Diversity? In the article “Christian Colleges Doing Diversity Well” by Christine A. Scheller, a journalist and essayist, she interviews Christian college administrators who are attempting to make their institutions better by creating a more diverse college community. They have conversations about their efforts to have a diverse school and how some may thrive and look forward to diversity more than others. Nyack College in Nyack, New York was awarded and the Racial Harmony Award back along with many other colleges and universities.
APPLICATION SECTION In a similar case, United Steelworkers v. Weber, an affirmative-action plan which had been negotiated between an employer and a steelworkers' union was challenged by a white member of the bargaining unit. Based on the affirmative action plan, the employer accepted the most senior black trainee into a craft-training program who had less seniority over a white employee who had also applied for admission into the same program but was rejected (Rutherglen, 2010). In the instant case, the use of racial preferences will come under scrutiny if used as a reason to increase or improve diversity in certain programs utilizing an affirmative action
This law also ensures diversity on campus, and on top of that affirmative action is still used for the remaining students that are not at the top 10% of their class (Hung). Evidently, race plays a crucial role in the admission decisions. Hung claims that race shouldn’t play such a big role in the admission process because it is considered discrimination. He supports this argument by comparing the average GPA and SAT scores of those students that were granted admission but were not in the top 10 percent of their class. African Americans had the lowest averaged scores, followed by Hispanics, then whites, and then Asian Americans.
Pacific Oaks College culture and pedagogy encompasses several elements that strongly appeal to me. First and foremost, their emphasis on social justice and equity resonates deeply with my personal values. The college's commitment to creating a just and inclusive society aligns with my belief in the transformative power of education for promoting social change. I am inspired by their dedication to fostering understanding, respect, and advocacy for marginalized communities through their curriculum and campus activities. I have never felt so taken care of by a college as I am at Pacific Oaks.
Furthermore, the University of North Carolina's admissions policies do not discriminate against Asian American applicants. The university's holistic admissions process considers a wide range of factors, including race, and does not rely on quotas or predetermined targets. The university points to evidence showing that Asian American applicants continue to be admitted at high rates and that their enrollment numbers have increased in recent years. The petitioner’s claims under federal civil rights statutes are without merit. The University of North Carolina's use of race in admissions decisions does not discriminate against any particular racial or ethnic group, and its policies are consistent with Supreme Court precedent that allows for the limited use of race in college admissions to achieve diversity.
After graduating from MHS, the next challenge in my mission to ascend from my circumstances was to become the best student at The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State). With consideration of my mother not graduating high school, it was imperative and self- driving that I reward her sacrifices by excelling in my academic career. Eager to outperform, consequently, I earned the Smeal Merit Diversity Scholarship for three consecutive years (Freshmen-Junior) at Penn State. This prestigious scholarship is only awarded to the top five minority business students at Penn State. In addition to my academic successes, I became very active on campus and served as a leader at the top of four different campus-organizations.
Shariah Salahaladyn currently serves as the Graduate Assistant Dean of Faculty Affairs and Diversity at Graduate School of Education at the University of Pennsylvania. In this role, she participates in data collection and organization of Diversity in the Graduate school of Education. She also helps design and administer surveys, update the diversity website, and most importantly research literature and perform annotated bibliographies on diversity-related topics. Salahaladyn’s professional experience as an undergraduate sparked her passion into higher education, she worked as a Step Student Diversity Coordinator (Student Titan Employment Program) where she organized events on campus for students of color inviting faculty and staff to learn
It has triggered questions of how forthcoming the University of Cincinnati has been in embracing diversity after racial segregation legally ended in the 1960’s. Many people believe that racism doesn’t exist at UC. I, however, believe that more directed efforts are needed to make this
“Affirmative Action may not be a perfect system, but there should be no doubt that it has endangered many successes. It has opened the doors of America’s most elite educational institutions to minority students, granting them unprecedented opportunities” (Ogletree 12). Thanks to Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson a policy that prohibits employment and education discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, and sex is offered today to those who suffer from said discriminations (A Brief History). Affirmative action has opened abundant openings for minorities, allowing the cycle of going to college to be passed down generations and provided job opportunities that otherwise would not be considered by most. Affirmative
We believe our purpose statement will help motivate our employees and help to provide trust amongst our employees as the statement informs them that we are committed to their safety and wellbeing. Strategic changes must be implemented to ensure that the Human Resources Department does its part to ensure that the company’s goal of doubling sales in the next fiscal year is reached. In order to fulfill The Atha Corporation’s restructuring needs the human resources functional area goal is to: hire and train employees, reconfigure company policies, and distribute new job responsibilities. Implementing new human resource policies and practices will allow new and old employees to show understanding of the department 's vision, mission, values; and a strong commitment to our company (Guide, 1996). The consolidation and reorganization of the Human Resources department is sure to display The Atha Corporation’s greatest asset: human capital.
The human resource could be managed by Christian theology of work. In the workplace, people will follow God’s guiding and calling to make a good relationship with their colleagues. The healthy and effective work relationship would benefit the workplace because God’s calling told us should be with people, love them and help them. God creates people with purpose, the purpose of the work for the human being is to discover the connection and relationship with God’s calling. Genesis 2:15 mentioned, “The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to Work it and take care of it.”
Simply having the right capacity in place to match the development of the company may be the biggest risk Wal-Mart faces. Wal-Mart hires antagonistically from more than 100 universities and targets the colleges with Retail Institutes. People have always been the company’s best asset. Their idea at Wal-Mart is to hire the best, provide the best training and to be the greatest place to work. Strategy 7: How does HR align every functional part with service?
