Students working individually or in groups will address organizational human resource related challenges. The project would be designed to capture the interest of the organization and the students to maximize the creative ideas and genuine input.

Project Subject Examples:

• On-boarding new employees during a time of COVID-19 when many employees are working from home. How is this best done and what does the graduating generation hope and expect during on-boarding? How can an organization make the process successful leading to the retention of employees?
• Training online or in person for the fastest uptake of information. How can training build on experiential events? How does this generation prefer to learn and be trained? How can the training and development process lead to the greatest productivity of the employee?
• Hiring to attract the most appropriate employees who will be interested in the position and the organization and look to stay with the organization. How best to share a job snapshot that allows applicants to determine if the job is a good fit.
• Selection processes that make new hires feel committed to an organization from the start and avoids turnover and ghosting.
• Evaluating employees in the current environment where employees are working from home, the office or both. This group of students would provide a generational perspective. Do they want a review/feedback over Zoom/Teams or do they prefer the continuous feedback approach through an app? What would work for this generation?

Other project idea related to human resources are also of interest. Please contact the professor through Riipen’s chat to determine if an alternative idea could fit the project.
