In your first discussion post, you are asked to respond to a prompt with following four parts of the question:
-
Why is staffing important?
-
Who is responsible for it?
-
Is it a function of personnel/human resource departments?
-
What are some of the ways managers can adapt to changes in the external environment (shrinking work force, impacts of technology, etc.) to recruit and maintain quality personnel?
I suggest you break your response into those four specific parts with at least a few sentences (if not a paragraph) for each part of the question.
To earn full points: Post at least 200 words and reply to at least two other students. Support your post with at least one citation of a model from Chapter 10 or another credible source (from your textbook; use APA format for your reference). In your responses, I suggest that you ask your classmates how their perspective differs on staffing based on their prompt.
