You are the new HR Business Partner at a medium-size organization and it is your job to create an original (not copied from the text or other sources) handbook with many of the tools needed in the strategic staffing process. The body of the project should develop the following staffing tools. Organize your paper through use of headings, which correspond to the following topics and tools:

  1. Provide the brief background of your organization (you can use a real one or fictitious one.) Introduce the company to which the strategic staffing handbook applies. Talk about things such as the number of employees, years in business, strategic focus, mission, the types of positions this company has, and its purpose in the industry. End with a strong thesis statement that sets the stage for the rest of the handbook. In other words the last one or two sentences of this section should summarize what you plan to talk about in this document.
  2. Define strategic staffing, as it pertains to your organization. (COs 1 and 2).
    Transition from the introduction where you talked about the company to talking about what the definition of strategic staffing is, why it's important to staff strategically and how you will go about making sure that strategic staffing happens in your company. You will cite things you use to help you develop the definition of strategic staffing. Explain how staffing structure, policies, practices, procedures, information systems, budgets and legal reporting requirements can be implemented as an integrated staffing management system to help organizations meet their strategic goals. At the end of the section, you need to transition into the job analysis section, where you discuss the importance of having job analysis in place in order to effectively staff the organization.
  3. Job Analysis (CO 4). Identify the components of a complete job analysis (job content, requirements, competencies, compensation) and explain how the different parts of an integrated staffing management system contributes to each component. Explain how your organization will perform job analysis (i.e. method, timing, and who). If JA will be done differently at different levels of the organization, be sure to explain that difference.
  4. Legal Aspects of Staffing. (CO 3) Given the possible vulnerabilities in today's litigious environment, identify and describe the laws and regulations that affect the recruiting and selection process. (Include at least 3 laws/regulations that pertain to recruiting or selection, and explain their pertinence to your company's strategy on staffing, in plain language geared to your middle managers and hiring managers).
  5. Recruiting (CO 5). Describe the decisions involved in planning for effective recruitment, including sources (internal, external), types, and messages.
    After putting a job analysis in place for all positions in an organization, we know what we are looking for in regards to KSAs needed for a position when hiring. Given this information, you can discuss the method(s) for recruiting you would use. Discuss what method(s) you might use and the importance of the method(s) you have chosen. How would you use that method? Provide the rationale behind why that method is appropriate for your organization. In this section you would cite information related to what your recruiting method(s) are, and how they might be used. Your rationale may also be cited, but is likely that that is how the info is related to your company and thus would not be cited, as it is original work. You will also include an example of a position posting, as it may appear "on" or "in" the method you chose to recruit. This position posting is focused on one position in the organization, thus, this entire section can be focused on one position if you desire.
  6. Selecting the right Candidates. (CO 6).
    After recruiting quality candidates, organizations have to decide what tools it will use to select the candidate(s) to hire. These tools consist of a variety of assessments, such as interviews, personality testing, among many others. All selection tools chosen, must be job relevant. What methods will you use to select the right candidates for your organization?
    1. Discuss the interview process your company will use during hiring. Discuss who will be involved, why, and provide a list of interview questions (at least 8) which are legal, non-generic, and specific to the position (you posted above) in the organization - develop these questions for the position you mentioned in the job posting earlier in the handbook. Explain to managers how to create similar questions for other jobs they will need to fill. If you use the questions from the Week 5 assignment, be sure they are specific to the job posted above.
    2. State what pre-employment tests and assessments will be allowed and used at your organization. Provide the names of at least three such tests or assessments, and provide details about their use. Explain the philosophy of the company towards these tests/assessments, and guide managers in their use. (i.e. performance, personality, honesty and integrity, background, criminal, drug tests, etc.). Please make sure to note which assessments cannot be implemented until after a conditional offer of employment. This section should include a balance of assessments (or selection tools) you will use both before and after an offer.
  7. Performance Management (CO 7). Describe how ongoing evaluation and review contribute to the retention of successful employees. Identify and describe the method and process of job performance review your company will use. Provide instructions for calibration of performance appraisal across the company.
  8. Retention. (CO 8). Retaining successful employees allows an organization to minimize the costs associated with recruitment and training of new employees, identify how workforce management practices (workforce team formation, more horizontal organizational charts, etc.) can affect effective staffing decisions that meet organizational needs for flexibility and encourage employee retention. Discuss the things your organization will put in place to help retain high quality employees.
  9. Provide a closing summary to the paper. This summary should be directed to your instructor - summarize the main points and utility of the handbook you created, and provide information on what you found hard, or easy, about the assignment. What did you learn from this? What new ideas did you come up with? What would you like to find out more about?
  10. In the end, you should have a Strategic Staffing Handbook that you can reference in the future. Build this assignment for yourself!

In a study of red/green color blindness, 700 men and 2500 women are randomly selected and tested. Among the men, 63 have red/green color blindness. Among the women, 7 have red/green color blindness. Test the claim that men have a higher rate of red/green color blindness.
(Note: Type ‘‘p_m′′‘‘p_m″ for the symbol pmpm , for example p_mnot=p_wp_mnot=p_w for the proportions are not equal, p_m>p_wp_m>p_w for the proportion of men with color blindness is larger, p_m<p_wp_m<p_w , for the proportion of men is smaller. )

(a) State the null hypothesis:

(b) State the alternative hypothesis:

(c) The test statistic is

(d) Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that men have a higher rate of red/green color blindness than women? Use a 1 % significance level.

A. Yes
B. No

(e) Construct the 9999% confidence interval for the difference between the color blindness rates of men and women.

Chapter 5: Ground Rules of Metabolism

* Section 5.1 – Life Runs on Energy

o Describe what energy is (definition). Explain how this definition applies to life. Use a cell as an example. Use an entire organism as an example.

o What are the first and second law’s of thermodynamics? What does each one mean for life, from the perspective of a cell?

o Compare kinetic versus potential energy. How does life obtain potential energy?

* Section 5.2 – Energy in the Molecules of Life

o Interpret a chemical formula (just identify which are products, which are reactants)

o Explain activation energy. After defining it, explain what life does to deal with activation energy (hint: think enzymes)

* Section 5.3 – How Enzymes Work

o What is an enzyme? First, which macromolecule is it? Then, what does an enzyme do?

o How does an enzyme accomplish its job? (Read about induced fit model)

o What is a substrate?

* Section 5.4 – Metabolic Pathways

o Describe allosteric regulation

o Describe feedback inhibition

o What is an electron transfer chain?

* Section 5.5 – Cofactors and Coenzymes

o Define cofactor and coenzyme. What is the difference in the two?

o What does ATP stand for? Explain what about ATP gives it lots of energy.

o Explain what ADP is and how it is related to ATP

* Section 5.6 – Diffusion and Membranes

o Describe what diffusion is. Give an example

2 / 5

o Explain the factors that can affect the speed (rate) of diffusion. Most importantly, HOW do each of these factors cause a change in the rate of diffusion?

o Describe what osmosis is. How does this compare to diffusion?

* Hint – in osmosis, water will move across a membrane to dilute the concentrated side, since the solute cannot always move on its own by diffusion

o Define the terms hypotonic and hypertonic. If I were to give you the salt concentration, for example, inside a cell versus outside a cell, be able to state whether the solution outside the cell is hypotonic or hypertonic to the cell. Also, what is isotonic?

o Explain turgor, and how this term applies to wilting (think of how a cut flower will wilt out of water)

o Critical thinking regarding turgor and osmosis – think of a leftover salad. You have salad dressing on the salad, which is typically salty and concentrated so that it is flavorful. Can you link osmosis and turgor to the fact that salads do not stay fresh very long after they are dressed?

* Section 5.7 – Membrane Transport Mechanisms

o Compare passive transport versus active transport in a simple definition of the two.

* What is the cellular form of energy that active transport requires?

* How are membrane proteins important for active and passive transport?

* Section 5.8 – Membrane Trafficking

o Define phagocytosis. What sorts of molecules might a cell ingest, and why would the want to ingest such things?
