Discussion Forum Each week in your discussion,

Discussion Forum Each week in your discussion, you will assume the role of a leadership team in a human resources department. You will be given a topic with which to wrestle questions fundamental to managing your department as well as managing people in the larger organization. Using the course materials as springboards for your basis of methodology, you are expected, as a group of leaders, to come up with solutions to challenges facing human resource departments, generally, and human resources managers, specifically. Your Module 2 discussion assignment is to describe and analyze how legal, political, cultural, and economic factors affect HR professionals. In addition, consider how external and internal factors can impact strategic HR management. As a group, come up with a challenge that might come up for an HR leader (you are encouraged to use an experience you have had, but please keep all names anonymous). What are the external forces that make the issue so challenging? How, as leaders, would you set to describe and resolve the problem? What legal, political, cultural, or economic factors are part of this issue and how might these external factors make your proposed resolution even more challenging?
