Assignment Choice #1: Ethics/Social Responsibility – What a Fraud!

Read “You Manage It! 2” in Managing Human Resources (2016, p. 177). After reading the case, complete the following items:

1. Write a summary of the case,
2. Answer the critical thinking questions, and
3. Elaborate on two key learnings from the case related to recruitment, selection, and legal considerations. Be sure to clearly state the two key learnings and defend them in well-organized, scholarly responses.

A key learning is defined as significant knowledge gained from reading the case. You may choose to explain your key learnings by offering a real-world application, personal insight, your thoughts and opinions about what was stated, how it is handled at your company, etc.

Please arrange your summary, questions, and key learnings in a well-organized, scholarly response of 2-3 pages. Include a title page and references page which are not included in the page count. Support your observations and opinions with citations from 2-3 credible sources documented according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements. The CSU-Global Library is a great place to search for credible and scholarly sources.

Assignment Choice #2: Staffing Case Study

Begin by reading the Staffing Case Study.

After reading the case study, evaluate the design and implementation of the recruiting and selection process (the case will describe a number of ineffective practices, a mismatch between job description and selection assessments, issues around adverse impact, and actions taken that are not in line with applicable federal laws).  Based on your evaluation, make recommendations to improve the design and implementation (applying learned materials regarding effective practices). 

Evaluation criteria will include: 

1. appropriateness of recruitment sources
2. links between job description and selection assessments
3. identification of adverse impact
4. compliance with applicable laws

Please arrange your evaluation and recommendations in a well-organized, scholarly response of 2-3 pages. Include a title page and references page which are not included in the page count. Support your observations and opinions with citations from 2-3 credible sources documented according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements. The CSU-Global Library is a great place to search for credible and scholarly sources.
