Week 1 DQ: HR Practices 

**It is expected that your answers to each question will be 1+ well-constructed and organized paragraphs. More than one paragraph may be necessary based on the nature of the question

Consider the following questions. If you had to prepare a statement to be shared with employees, customers, and potential customers regarding the company’s HR policies, how would you frame it?

These are the questions for which you would prepare a short 1 paragraph statement:

How can good HR practices help increase productivity and control costs?

How can the use of technology improve the management of people?

What strategies can be used by the company for competing, recruiting, and staffing globally?

What are the challenges posed by globalization to a company? How will this affect the formulation of HR policies?
