Assignment 3: Staffing the HR Department

You are assessing the work design present in your selected company when you realize that you have not adequately reviewed the job descriptions, recruitment and selection methods the company currently uses. You will also need to make sure that the compensation and benefit packages are aligned with the company's culture. At this point, you are realizing that you need immediate assistance, so you must start staffing your HR department.

Write a five to six (5-6) page paper in which you:

1. Choose three (3) HR functions and assess the significance of each in adding value to your HR department in support of your company's vision and mission.

2. Write a job description for one (1) of the HR functions you selected. Determine the specific degree (e.g., associates, bachelors, or masters) and certifications (e.g., SHRM, HRCI, ATD, or WorldatWork) needed. Include the level and type of experience needed (e.g., industry, managerial, customer service, tenure, etc.).

• Note: The job description should be incorporated into the paper and is counted towards the total page length requirement for this assignment.

• Hint: You can use the Occupational Network website for assistance

3. Choose one (1) recruitment method and one (1) selection method you will use in order to attract the best quality candidates for these positions. Provide a rationale for your choices.

4. Develop a compensation and benefit package for the new HR Staff. Explain how this package will provide a high return on investment to the company.
