Human Resources
HR can be involved in exploring ways to foster both organizational and supervisory support of innovation through assisting with strategic business and individual goal setting while encouraging, supporting, recognizing and rewarding innovative individual and team contributions. Other ways HR can take a lead in this process include channeling the diversity of skills and experiences within the organization, as seen by human capital acquisition and retention strategies and processes, most notably through recruitment and training practices. Lastly, HR can be on the forefront assuring the development and support of policies and practices that encourage a workplace where creativity and innovation thrive.
Title 11 of the United States Code is referred to as the “Bankruptcy Code” or the “Code.” Title 11 consists of several chapters, of which Chapters 7 and 11 are the most applicable to organizations. Chapter 7 is specific to liquidations when an organization intends to close its doors. Chapter 11 deals directly with reorganization under the Code, in which the debtor seeks to rehabilitate and reorganize its financial structure. Chapter 11 permits organizations to propose an acceptable plan of reorganization to be voted on by its creditors. In light of the complexity of the provision, seeking legal counsel is encouraged. To begin the process, organizations must file a petition with the bankruptcy court, which constitutes an order of relief under this title. This toolkit offers a compilation of resources to help gain understanding of the elements of bankruptcy and offer guidance to successfully manage the bankruptcy process. This toolkit also covers the antidiscrimination component of the federal bankruptcy law, which protects employees and applicants from discrimination based on having filed for bankruptcy.

The AFL was created in response to the Citizen’s Alliance, which used open shop and welfare capitalism to prevent union organization. Open shops were not really open, they were just anti-union. Welfare capitalism involved improving supervisory practices, implementing hiring and firing procedures, offering wage incentives, providing insurance benefits, encouraging a positive culture, improving work environment and safety and providing employee voice. The AFL stands for the American Federation of Labor and attempted to establish and maintain standards at work through work rules.

Employee benefits in the United States constitute a large, complex and ever-changing set of programs. They are either mandated by federal and/or state law (such as Social Security, unemployment insurance and workers’ compensation) or voluntarily provided by the employer to help attract, retain and motivate employees and to contribute to the organization’s strategic objectives. Such voluntary benefits include pensions and other retirement income programs, health insurance, and paid time off. The distinction between mandated and voluntary benefits has become somewhat blurred in recent years, as the federal and state governments mandate requirements to all employers that once were voluntary (e.g., medical and family leave and state mandates to health insurance contracts).
Another distinction exists between the private and public sectors. Public sector employment practices, including benefits, have had somewhat of a separate development. Not-for-profit organizations, the “third sector,” are also different, but receive relatively little attention. This discussion will focus primarily on the private sector.

Greater demands than ever before are being put on U.S. military service persons—whether active duty, reserve or National Guard. The United States has had hundreds of thousands of troops deployed in combat in Afghanistan and Iraq for longer than the duration of World War II. These deployments have relied heavily on reserve and National Guard troops drawn out of civilian jobs. The larger “war against terrorism” has no foreseeable end; moreover, hardly a month goes by without a state governor calling on National Guard units to respond to a natural disaster somewhere in the United States.

Unemployment benefits, established in 1935 as part of the Social Security Act, provide a temporary source of income to unemployed individuals. Unemployment benefit is administered by each state and is funded through employer’s taxes. States set the requirements on who is eligible to receive benefit, how long an individual must wait to receive benefits and how much of a benefit is received. They also determine which circumstances disqualify an individual for benefits. When a former employee is disqualified for benefits, the employer is not charged.

Human resource audits involve a company’s strategic actions to take an intensely objective look at its HR policies, procedures and practices. This type of comprehensive review of the company’s current state can help to identify whether specific practice areas or processes are adequate, legal and/or effective. The results obtained from this review can help to identify gaps in HR practices, and these gaps can then be prioritized for attention in an effort to minimize lawsuits and/or regulatory violations, as well as to achieve and maintain world-class competitiveness in key HR practice areas.
