Unit I Assignment
HR Mission Statement
By now, from your textbook readings and lesson, you should have a firm grasp on the different types
of human resource values and strategies that are commonplace in the workforce. From this information, build a mission
statement for the human resource management function of a large firm of your choice. This is your
firm and will be used as a foundation for many course assignments, so choose it carefully, and it
should preferably be in your future industry.
Your mission statement should describe core values of the human resource (HR) function that will
drive future policies and procedures for your company. The mission statement should include a
description of how the HR function will support operations and operate strategically, internally
and externally of the firm. Furthermore, compare the mission statements provided, and write a short
comparison/contrast. What strategies are good? Which are not-so-good? Use your analysis when
writing your own mission statement. Upon completion, this mission statement should be the base of
your company’s effective human resource strategy.
There is no word count for this assignment as long as your statement includes all of the components
mentioned above. Below are some example HR mission statements that you can use to get started. Any
sources used, including the
textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations in
APA format.
