Discussion Forum
Each  week in your discussion, you will assume the role of a leadership team  in a human resources department. You will be given a topic with which to  wrestle questions fundamental to managing your department as well as  managing people in the larger organization. Using the course materials  as springboards for your basis of methodology, you are expected, as a  group of leaders, to come up with solutions to challenges facing human  resource departments, generally, and human resources managers, specifically.
Your Module 2 discussion assignment is to describe and analyze  how legal, political, cultural, and economic factors affect HR  professionals. In addition, consider how external and internal factors  can impact strategic HR management. As a group, come up with a challenge  that might come up for an HR leader (you are encouraged to use an  experience you have had, but please keep all names anonymous). What are  the external forces that make the issue so challenging? How, as leaders,  would you set to describe and resolve the problem? What legal,  political, cultural, or economic factors are part of this issue and how  might these external factors make your proposed resolution even more  challenging?

Part of the requirements of this class is exercise. As the Catalog Description states, “A combination of physical activity and lecture providing regular exercise to develop physical fitness.” You are required to exercise 3 times per week.Each week I will provide 3 recorded yoga classes so you can exercise at home at your convenience. Each class is approximately 35-50 minutes long. When you have completed all three classes you will submit your answers to the following questions.1.
