Remember that no more than 20% of the Handbook can be from borrowed material- both draft and final version (so plan accordingly on any borrowed material used). The majority of the Handbook must be originalmeaning written by the student. ALL sources used (textbook, Internet, etc.) must be cited via proper APA citations (both in-text with quotation marks and a References section). This includes any forms or samples in the Handbook. Everything in the Handbook will count towards the no more than 20% borrowed requirement, including any forms and/or samples. It is advisable if you create these yourself, if applicable. However, if you utilize (and cite) a form/sample from another source note that images of forms/samples are NOT permitted. They must be text-based so they are readable by Turnitin.

See the Course Project tab for lengthier descriptions of each section. The specifics of the requirements of each section are NOT included here.

Text font can be no larger than 12.

You do not need to include a table of contents but can if you wish.

Be sure to insert your fictitious company name, where needed, in the Handbook below.

Your Handbook must be full 9-12 pages (not including this page, the cover page, table of contents, or any reference page), double-spaced. You may single-space any forms or samples you create.

Note that the spacing placed between sections is for illustration purposes only. Some sections you write may be longer than others. However, remember the final page count of text required (9-12 full pages).

Introduction

For your Individual Course Project, you will create a Strategic Staffing Handbook. This major course deliverable is over one-third of the course grade.

You will complete and submit your Strategic Staffing Handbook in three parts (due in Weeks 3, 6, and 8).

Objectives

The objective of this Individual Course Project is to create an original Strategic Staffing Handbook that contains many of the vital tools used in the staffing process. This manual should be written with management in mind as the audience. Although the human resources department will own the handbook, it will be shared with hiring managers to assist them with understanding the company’s philosophy, methodology, and practice on staffing. As an academic process note, Turnitin reports will be monitored, and no more than 20% of your paper should be quoted or borrowed from outside sources.

APA Style 7th Edition should be used to format and cite your work.

You are the new human resources business partner at a medium-size organization, and it is your job to create an originalnot copied from the text or other sourceshandbook 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 the use of headings, which correspond to the following topics and tools:

Company Background

Provide a 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 details 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.

Definition of Strategic Staffing

Define strategic staffing as it pertains to your organization. (Review Course Objectives 1 and 2 as well as the supporting KSAs.) Transition from the introduction in which you discussed 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. Cite ideas 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.

Job Analysis

(Review Course Objective 4 as well as the supporting KSAs.): 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 it will be accomplished differently at different levels of the organization, be sure to explain that difference.

Legal Aspects of Staffing

(Review Course Objective 3 as well as the supporting KSAs.): Given the possible vulnerabilities in today’s litigious environment, identify and describe the laws and regulations that antect the recruiting and selection process. Include at least three laws/regulations that pertain to recruiting or selection, and explain in plain language their pertinence to your company’s strategy on staffing, gearing it towards your middle managers and hiring managers. Ensure that you address the legal aspects of using artificial intelligence (AI) in staffing in no less than one full page.
