Case: Maris Foods

You have just been hired as the Human Resource Manager by John Maris of Maris Foods Ltd.

Maris Foods is a small food and beverage conglomerate comprised of three companies: Maris Beverages Inc., Cara Sweeteners and Taste of Heaven.

Your Tasks:

1. Individually or in groups of up to 4 people, and fully complete the 3 tables found in the attached: Course Project Tables file.

2. When doing your project, the issues section has close to 35 issues. The weighting of marks varies with the sections.

• In Recruitment, you need six (6) correct issues for full marks (10) for this HR area
• In Compensation, you need six (6) correct issues for full marks (10) for this HR area
• In Health and Safety, you need six (6) correct issues for full marks (10) for this HR area
• In Training and Development, you need three (3) correct issues for full marks (10) for this HR area
• In Labour/Staff Relations and Employee Discipline, you need four (4) correct issues for full marks (10) for this HR area
• The "Other" area is treated as a bonus marks area where you receive 1 mark (up to 3 marks) for each appropriate issue that does not belong/is not a primary issue in one of the other 5 areas noted above. This will top up your mark if you are under 40 marks in total for the above 5 sections. If you already have full marks for the above 5 areas, no marks will be given in this section.

YOU SHOULD IDENTIFY AS MANY ISSUES AS POSSIBLE IN EACH OF THE SECTIONS NOTED ABOVE.

3. Do not roll up issues into overall conclusions. While a number of issues might lead to a certain result, marks are provided for the individual issues and not the rollup. For example, rather than saying that compensation needs some work, list the actual problems that lead you to this conclusion.

4. Every issue that you identify should have a solution to it and some solutions may overlap. Again, it is important not to use overall recommendations. It is critical that your recommendations are directly linked to the issues you have identified. The recommendation is a countermeasure to address the issue.

5. If you choose to work group, each member of your group will receive the same identical grade. You are responsible for your own group dynamics and I will not become involved. As a result, please ensure that you align yourselves with others who have the same goals as you do with respect to quality of work, timetabling, etc. Students in your group must be from this section of the course only. Students from other classes are not allowed to be in your group, no exceptions. Any projects that contain members from students that are not in this class will be given a zero! If you are not sure if your group meets this guideline please ask! Please ensure you notify me by way of email who the members of your group are before you begin work on the project.

6. If you decide to break up your group, this must be done well before the project due date so that members can go on and complete a project by themselves, prior to the due date. This means that you should establish expectations within your group right up front, and deal with issues as they arise.

Question 1: Discuss The Recommendations That You Will Make To John Maris To Resolve Each Hr Issue

Question 2: What is the number one priority to be dealt with and why? What is the first thing that must be done? This is not a long-term goal, but rather something immediate that is critical and needs to be done almost on the spot.
