1. Explain the importance of maintaining accurate and objective employee records, indicating the consequences that may result from lack of record keeping. Provide support for your rationale.
2. Provide an example of formal and an example of informal documentation that would normally be maintained in an employee file, indicating how each is likely to protect an employer.
3. Determine the most significant factor that will ensure an effective legal termination, indicating the most likely way employees can protect themselves from termination in a downsizing situation. Provide support for your rationale.
4. Analyze two (2) major challenges that today’s health care leaders face in trying to uphold the ethics of critique, justice, and caring, indicating how managers can balance the need for ethics with employee and organizational needs.
5. Create a detailed outline of an effective succession planning process that will help ensure a smooth transition as members of the management team at your organization begin to retire. (The plan should prescribe, at a minimum, how to identify employees for advancement, training and development programs, mentorships, and a timeline for preparing leaders for their role.)
6. From both a management and employee perspective, justify or dispute unionization. Provide support for your rationale.
7. Suggest the best way in which HR can continue to be an effective strategic partner in helping this organization achieve its future goals. Provide support for your rationale.
8. Use at least three (3) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length. 

Write a 500 word, five-paragraph comparison-contrast essay on one of the assigned topics. Follow all the rules of MLA essays and make sure your essay is organized and developed properly.

Topics (choose one):

1. Contrast yourself with a sibling. Do NOT state the obvious (we are both girls, we have the same parents, we both have brown eyes, etc.). Focus on what makes you different despite the fact that you were raised similiarly.

2. Contrast two family members of the same “position” (two grandmothers, two aunts, two uncles, two cousins, etc.)

3. Contrast two coaches, teachers, classes

4. Compare two jobs you have held

5. Compare two relationships (friendships, people you have dated, mentorship, etc.)

6. Contrast two places you have lived (the physical places, area of the world, rural vs. urban, with roommates vs. by yourself)  Make sure to use MLA format (see sample on pages 488-496 of the Little, Brown Handbook). Unlike the sample, your essay should NOT contain research, but should have plenty of support from your life experiences. Make sure the heading and page numbering are correct as well as the indentations and spacing.
