Suppose you work as a human resource (HR) executive at Total
Solutions, Inc., a culturally and geographically diverse organization. A recent
government study on human statistics indicates that colleagues who share
culturally similar backgrounds perform more efficiently and effectively on the
job. These study findings, however, appear contrary to the basic research on
the value of diverse workforces. John, the vice president of HR has read
extensively about this study. He meets with senior management to discuss if the
concept can be implemented at Total Solutions, Inc. The senior management
reviews the study and decides to execute the process in one office before a
policy decision is made.
John decides that the process should be piloted in the new
HR office being set up in Atlanta. He receives the board’s permission to apply
the concept in the new office. He needs to relocate five employees from the
headquarters in New York to the Atlanta office. John obtains the list of
employees based in the New York office. The list has a brief profile of the
employees. John asks you to help him analyze the profiles and present your
recommendations as to who are the best five employees for the Atlanta
assignment.
Present your analysis to John in the form of a two- to three
page report in Microsoft Word following APA format. Make sure you provide a
clear recommendation of which five employees should be selected for the Atlanta
assignment and that you apply the basic concepts of diversity in your selection
process. Provide rationale for your
selection based on your examination of the evidence and references to at least
three authoritative sources from the Argosy library or the Internet. Click here
