Reflection Paper

Strategic Staffing and the Legal Environment

This week we will be examining the foundation on which Talent Management is built. Before we can begin employee sourcing, we must understand two things.

First, who are we as a company, what goals are we trying to achieve, and what is our strategy to reach these goals? This is important if we are going to get the optimal organizational-employee fit.

Second, what legal constraints are we working under in the Talent Management process? This is important not only from a moral, ethical, and legal perspective, but also from a financial perspective.

Address the following three question based on the materials in this week's module. You will need to draw from all sources. Also, be sure to review the instruction at the bottom of the assignment prior to submission.
