"Are HR Metrics and Workforce Analytics Truly Necessary?"

The answer to the discussion title is a resounding yes! But why? Data is extremely powerful, especially in our day and time when large quantities of data can be readily available at finger tips anytime and anywhere. Data helps organizations make critical decisions, and this is especially true for HR. With strong metrics and workforce analytics, HR can help an organization chart a strategic direction. Please watch this video “The Power of HR Metrics: Growth, Performance, Sustainment” (3 min 35 s) on the importance of metrics, located at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJRHRxa6O7s.

Bible As Literature: The Book Of Genesis

Approaching Genesis 1-3 as literature:

Read through Genesis 1-3. Pick one continuous episode from these chapters (I.e., a narrative that can stand out on its own and does not have any disruptive substantive breaks that shift the focus to a new episode). Then write about two pages, double-spaced, in answer to the following questions: 

1. This is a story. What story-like patterns are there in the text? 

(Repetitions? Correlated events? Here you may refer to Leland Ryken’s text; How to Read the Bible as Literature — but be sure to cite any sources properly.) 

2. Is there any visual/imagistic detail? How does it contribute to the story?  (You may elect to do a word-study on one or two individual Hebrew words in the passage, in order to get more traction on this.) “Imagistic” may refer to descriptive characterizations associated with experiences from any of the 5 senses, though its denotation may seem to be most properly associated with the visual faculty.

3. What are some of the emotions you would experience, if you experienced the story in a sympathetic way – i.e. if you took it seriously as a story?
