<v ->Hey everyone and welcome to module four.</v>

2
00:00:04.350 --> 00:00:05.610
This week we're going to be learning

3
00:00:05.610 --> 00:00:08.550
about human resource management in global contexts.

4
00:00:08.550 --> 00:00:09.810
We're going to discuss the importance

5
00:00:09.810 --> 00:00:11.880
of human resource management in organizations

6
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:15.120
operating internationally and explore about the ways

7
00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:17.910
in which organizations need to tailor their human resources

8
00:00:17.910 --> 00:00:19.950
for different cultural settings.

9
00:00:19.950 --> 00:00:22.230
Similar to in other modules, we're gonna compare

10
00:00:22.230 --> 00:00:24.630
different settings through one of the readings this week,

11
00:00:24.630 --> 00:00:26.370
which looks at human resource models

12
00:00:26.370 --> 00:00:28.890
in top-performing global hospitals.

13
00:00:28.890 --> 00:00:30.660
One of the key learning goals for this week

14
00:00:30.660 --> 00:00:32.580
is to understand the importance of designing

15
00:00:32.580 --> 00:00:35.520
a specific human resource management strategy

16
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:37.740
based on the specific context in which a global

17
00:00:37.740 --> 00:00:40.320
health organization is operating.

18
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:42.450
In order to understand the context,

19
00:00:42.450 --> 00:00:45.093
engaging with local stakeholders is going to be key.

20
00:00:45.930 --> 00:00:47.460
Something you think about is how

21
00:00:47.460 --> 00:00:49.710
the human resources strategy of an organization

22
00:00:49.710 --> 00:00:52.260
that primarily employs foreigners in a setting,

23
00:00:52.260 --> 00:00:56.580
for example USAIT, differs from one that primarily employs

24
00:00:56.580 --> 00:00:58.563
nationals of a particular country.

25
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:02.790
This week, you will have some readings and videos to watch.

26
00:01:02.790 --> 00:01:04.950
After completing the learning materials, you have a quiz,

27
00:01:04.950 --> 00:01:06.870
a discussion on Yellowdig, and the first

28
00:01:06.870 --> 00:01:08.880
reflection paper of the course.

29
00:01:08.880 --> 00:01:10.740
Also this week, the first group of students

30
00:01:10.740 --> 00:01:12.630
will be posting their presentations to Yellowdig

31
00:01:12.630 --> 00:01:14.970
and submitting them to Brightspace.

32
00:01:14.970 --> 00:01:18.480
For the discussion this week, there are no specific prompts.

33
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:20.160
Instead, you're going to earn all your points

34
00:01:20.160 --> 00:01:22.920
by commenting on other students' presentations.

35
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:24.240
This week we also have the first

36
00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:26.340
reflection paper of the course.

37
00:01:26.340 --> 00:01:29.040
I'd like you to discuss challenges and barriers

38
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:31.590
to human resource management in global settings

39
00:01:31.590 --> 00:01:34.950
and strategies to address those challenges in the paper.

40
00:01:34.950 --> 00:01:37.770
And you'll find the prompt for that paper below.

41
00:01:37.770 --> 00:01:39.180
As always, feel free to reach out

42
00:01:39.180 --> 00:01:41.010
with any questions or concerns.

43
00:01:41.010 --> 00:01:42.240
I hope you all have a great week

44
00:01:42.240 --> 00:01:45.000
and I'm so looking forward to seeing your presentations

45
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:46.773
and I hope that they go well.
