Scenario 1
You are a Human Resources Manager of an expanding technology
company consisting of 170 employees that develops and distributes small
electronic devices. Over the past two (2) years, a research group formed,
designed, and built prototypes of small remote surveillance cameras used for
security. Recently, your company won a contract to build and provide these
remote surveillance cameras to various government agencies. The contract will
begin with your company supplying these cameras to agencies within your home state.
If all orders are fulfilled sufficiently, the contract will be expanded to
supplying agencies outside of your home state.
For the immediate future, you will need to secure a larger
facility and hire more staff to sustain the first part of the contract. This
staff will consist of ten (10) Assembly Technicians, one (1) Certified Quality
Control Engineer, one (1) Contract Administrator, and one (1) Office Support
Paraprofessional. Meanwhile, there is a contract clause requiring that you
provide a staffing plan in order to ensure future product deliveries and
sustain the possible future growth.

one (1) of the scenarios and write a four to five (4-5) page paper in
which you: - Identify
two (2) types of staffing models that could apply to your chosen scenario
and determine which model would be best suited for efficiency,
productivity, and possible future growth. Examine the significant effect
of each identified staffing model on processes that may be occurring
within the organization (e.g., outsourcing, contingent workers,
consulting firms, etc.). - Predict
the major potential legal issues that you may encounter when establishing
equal employment opportunities and diversity within the workplace while
still aiming to acquire employees with the needed certifications and
credentials. Next, explain the method of achieving transparency within
your staffing model. Justify your response. - Specify
three (3) tasks that you need to perform to identify, analyze, and
develop job requirements and task statements that you will include in
formalized job descriptions. Next, predict the frequency with which you
would need to review and adjust these job descriptions as your company
progresses. Provide a rationale for your response. - Describe
three (3) methods to deal with high employee turnover and the
availability of employees with required knowledge, skills, or abilities.
Next, describe the primary manner in which the described
succession-planning methods would be beneficial to your company. Justify
your response. - Use
