Lack of a structured and effective Human Resources Department Apparent violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 Current employees have become too comfortable in their positions Lack of development discourages employees from career growth Interpersonal tensions between Board Chairman Dr. Stiller and CEO Anita

Green

Problems Identified in the Case

Dr. Stiller’s wishes could have prevailed Dr. Stiller and Anita Green could work to eliminate tension Scott and Hillard could offer Winthrop a position in HR Anita Green could hire a new VP of Human Resources Anita Green could fire Frank Scott for mismanaging hiring policies Provide development for all employees and evaluate at next review

Alternatives

Contrast training and development. Is developing employees the responsibility of the HR department, the divisions, the organization or the employees? Where does the responsibility currently lie at the hospital?

Development is the responsibility of all parties involved. In this case, the responsibility lies with the employees. There is no system at

the hospital to provide employees with the opportunity or resources for development.

Discussion Question One

Given Winthrop’s personal challenges and career aspirations, what advice would you give Hillard if you were Scott?

Acknowledge Winthrop’s value to the organization Encourage Hillard to offer a position in HR Make her feel valued and present growth opportunities

Discussion Question Two

What additional information beyond name and title would be helpful to have when Scott has discussions about existing talent with division leaders?

Previous performance reviews Previous goals Recognized areas for improvement Recognized areas of achievement

Discussion Question Three

Problem: The majority of people working for the company are white and the gap between

different ethnicities is very large (see next slide) Clearly a violation against the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 Section 703 of the Title VII Civil Rights Act of 1964 Possible Disparate Treatment

Solution: Empower the HR Department A good HR Department would manage hiring policies correctly
