Discussions are based on Chapters 11-12. You must post before seeing replies. Your answers are due by Thursday. After that, you will be assigned two posts to review and respond with your comments by Sunday. We value critical thinking, and encourage constructive critiques that provide insights to the focal topics.

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.
