HRM 5360 NSU WK 6 The Intervention and Counseling of Employees Discussion

I’m working on a management discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Question 1: Chapter 11 covers several topics that should be addressed by employee counseling and intervention. Given the current work environment, which of these topics should be the priority for the HRD of an organization to address and prevent? Elaborate your suggestion.

Question 2: Using your knowledge of the stages of life and career development, explain how the career issues of a 27-year-old differ from those of a 45-year-old. What are the organizational implications of the issues you identified?

Question 3: Peer coaching is characterized by equal status of partners, focus on personal and professional development of both peers, and integration of reflection and practice (Parker, Hall, & Kram, 2008). Have you had any experience or observations on peer coaching? Explain your understanding of the pros and cons of this peer coaching as a practice for human resource development.
