Part 1: Career Management Skills
Answer 1.1
Yap Chui Chin is a successful human resource professional of Singapore’s leading
company of entertainment “Golden Village Multiplex Private Limited”. Her career spanned
more than twenty five years into the business and being the human resource manager of the
organization, she is leading her team members with full faith and confidence. On
interviewing her over phone, she said, “Most people achieve bigger if and only if they have
the determination to work hard and keep on trying their best.” The human resource
professional answered each question with details and outlined her image as a strong person.
She mentioned how hiring the right employee can prove beneficial for the company.
Moreover, she shared her opinions regarding the leadership styles and skills a human
resource manager should posses. Providing training and mentoring to the employees, on a
daily basis can foster the working environment.
Lisa Brown Morton is a human resource professional of a non-profit organization. It
was found while interviewing her that she used to work for a large multinational company in
the HRM position. She said, “I needed to cultivate more from the generalist background for
growing professionally.” After working there, she felt that she had an interest in the non-
profit organization’s human resource needs. Like Chin, she also believes in hiring the right
employee for the organization’s benefits. She also believes that modern day social media can
help in creating an influence over the people’s minds. She mentioned in the interview that
blogging and writing on social networking sites can bring in huge change in the society.
Presently, she is the President and Founder of the ITM Group. Along with that, she is also the
founder of HR Bartender.

Answer 1.2
The Global Multiplex organization is more organized and hires skilled personnel for
the company’s benefits. They organize training and mentoring sessions every day for thirty to
forty minutes, in order to train the employees for providing the best services. They take help
from professional experts and certified trainers for training sessions. Moreover, the company
organizes orientation and induction programs for the new candidates, in order to give them a
clear view of the company itself. In addition to this, they take care of each and every
employee’s demands and expectations. They manage to provide a well balanced work as well
as personal life to them. The employees are encouraged and motivated to share their opinions
and views regarding the organizational issues. However, the company is more professional
than the non-profit organization.
In the next case, the non-profit organization tends to have a friendlier working
environment. However, the organization believes in hiring the right personnel for their
betterment. They take care of their employees’ and staff members’ well being. The vision of
the organization is to serve for the mankind. Moreover, they believe in providing a perfect
working life to the employees. They are motivated to raise their voice whenever necessary, if
they find anything going wrong and against them. The organizational management
encourages innovation in their working techniques. They promote and allow their employees
to socialize. In addition to this, they are encouraged to share their thoughts and views for the
organization’s benefits. Apart from all these, the organization highly encourages diversity in
their human resource policies. According to Stone (2013), introducing diversity at
workplaces can enhance team effectiveness and relationships. This in turn proves to be
beneficial for any company.

specific skills have helped me in a huge way.

manager.
Answer 1.4
In my opinion, starting with a medium sized enterprise would benefit me on the long
run. However, I have worked in a small sized Xerox company before and thus; I would prefer
to shift to a medium one. According to me, starting with a large multinational organization
will prove to be disadvantageous for a fresher. This is because, he/she can learn a lot from
small sized organizations.
Small sized company
Advantages:
 Working for smaller companies proves to be a good stepping stone for the fresher or
the employees who have not worked before.
 They get a chance to gain an understanding of the workplace culture and working
environment.
 They gain huge experience and skills in various areas, which the employees can add
up to their resume.

6HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Disadvantages:
 Smaller organizations do not spend much on formal trainings, with professional
experts and certified trainers.
 The salary scale is comparatively lower than that of a larger company.
 Less growth opportunities and limited employee benefits and opportunities.
Medium sized company
Advantages:
 The salary scale is comparatively higher than the small sized companies.
 Experiences can be gained on working with such companies, which will get added up
to the resume.
 The trainers are friendlier and training sessions are more interactive.
Disadvantages:
 Medium sized companies are unable to take complicated projects, due to lack of
standard training and mentoring sessions. They have to face a lot of challenges in this
field.
 The advancement opportunities are less and salary scales are not up to the mark.
Workers’ benefits and appraisal policies are also lesser as compared to the large sized
multinational organizations.
 The working conditions are also not flexible.
Large multinational organization
Advantages:
 Large organizations have more branch offices, which enhances their employees’
number and thus brings in new talent, diversity and skills.
 The larger organizations are good place to collaborate and grow.

7HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
 The salary scale is higher and employees have more benefits and growth
opportunities.
Disadvantages:
 Large multinational organizations will not be a good place to work for the beginners.
 In larger organizations, there are various layers of management team. This can lead to
ineffective communication among the staff members.
 The employees have more responsibilities in larger organization; therefore, without
the required skills and abilities, they will find it hard to cooperate with the company
norms and policies.
