Please choose from one (1)of the scenarios below. Note:The scenario that you choose in this assignment
will be the one (1)with
which you continue for Assignment 2.
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.
Scenario 2
You are a former certified
education administrator who departed your former position to become the owner
of a small, in-home day care consisting of you and a part-time assistant where
you care for children from age three (3) to age ten (10). Over the course of
time, your demographic population has increased due to significant business
growth that has resulted in many families relocating to your area. With more
businesses projected to move to the area and the building of new housing
developments, it is projected that this growth could be long term.
You have decided that this is
a good opportunity to expand your day care business as you have received many
inquiries for childcare. In order to comply with your home state regulations,
you will require a larger facility and will need to hire additional staff in
order to sustain the larger demand for day care. This staff will consist of
five (5) Certified Day Care Professionals, one (1) tered Nurse
Professional, five (5) After-School Assistants and one (1) Office Support
Paraprofessional. You have secured approval for a bank loan and qualify for
future loans for future expansion if your current endeavor is successful.
Meanwhile, the state in which you operate has requested that you provide a
staffing plan before it will issue licensure for your expanded capacity.
Note:You may create and / or make all necessary
assumptions needed for the completion of these assignments.
