CapraTek Case Analysis

modify existing communication, training, and reporting procedures to ensure a legally compliant
workplace. The harsh reality of today’s work environment is that organizations are dealing with a variety of issues
that require strong policies. In the scenario for this assessment, you will get to explore one of these
situations and recommend changes to existing policies to deal with issues like this one. Some assessments in this course are based on the CapraTek Workplace Discrimination simulation (see
the second resource activity in Assessment 3 for more information). The assessments build on each
other and must be completed in sequence. Introduction Because of the glowing review you received about the job aid you developed, your boss has charged you
with assessing a workplace incident involving several CapraTek policies. Instructions Based on the CapraTek: Workplace Discrimination incident, restructure CapraTek’s HRMM policies and
procedures to better protect the organization and its employees. Address the following elements in your 4–5 page report:
• Analyze how the policies and mission are communicated at CapraTek (Employee handbook,
meetings, training, medium, location, format, et cetera).
• Analyze the content within CapraTek’s training events and artifacts.
• Evaluate CapraTek’s reporting and investigation procedures in relation to how they protect both
the company and employees.
• Analyze how effective your HR management plan job aid would have been if applied to
CapraTek. (Identify how you would gauge the effectiveness of the Community Hospital job aid, if
it were applied to this CapraTek incident.)
• Modify CapraTek’s HR management plan, where needed, to better protect the organization and
its employees. Review the HRM Case Analysis Scoring Guide to ensure that you have completely addressed the grading
