Your only knowledge of the HR Department is that the condition of the department is "less than favorable".The Vice-President of the company has given you the following directive: improve staff morale, enhance training, and build an HR Department that is compliant with all required rules and regulations.

Task One: Develop an introductory statement that will be presented to Senior Management outlining what your plan will be in order to follow the directive to its fullest. This statement will outline your specific plans for achieving your goals. The statement should be at least one page and may contain bulleted points.
