Hello,

I need some help with the following questions and 3 references for each question. Thank you.

Question 1:

A) Discuss the evolution of the HR role from administrative to strategic.

• What internal and external factors were involved in this transition?
• Rank and discuss the top three skills needed by HR professionals to be effective as strategic business partners. Provide your rationale with supporting evidence.

B) Reflect on the HR function in your current organization (Substitute teacher) or an organization you have worked for in the past.

• Evaluate the HR role in the organization and discuss the alignment between HR priorities and the organizational strategy (do not name the organization).
• Did you see evidence of a strategic focus? Support your position with specific examples.

Question 2:

A) Select threefunctional areas of HR (i.e. recruiting, selection, training and development, compensation etc.) and, for each one, discuss how that function supports the HR and organizational strategies. Provide specific examples of goals and outcomes that support organizational success.

B) Consider the organization you work for or one you have worked for in the past (Substitute Teacher).Evaluate the effectiveness of the HR function overall and at least twospecific functional areas (do not name the organization). Share at least one HR program or initiative that you found particularly effective and discuss how it supported the organization's strategy.Why was it effective?
