Assignment 1 Worksheet
Due Week 6 and worth 280 points
In order to complete this assignment, open the Assignment 1 tab in Week 6, and select one of the
two scenario options. This business scenario will apply for your staffing plan in both Week 6
and Week 10.
Note: You may create and / or make all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of
these assignments. Use this outline to take your notes or to paste relevant points/facts from your
references. Be sure to add the appropriate citation for all of your notes and any copied
information. Conduct your research of the main topics (see bold type below) and extract key
topics, ideas, facts to support the development of your plan. Place your notes below each section
and include the citation with each note. Finally, arrange your notes in a logical, supporting
order. When you have completed your research, you can simply use your notes to write out your
plan. Whenever you use information from your notes, you will already have the appropriate
citation available. Rather than copying and pasting, use the main concepts of your research and
then paraphrase those concepts in your own words based on how those principles will apply to
your specific scenario.
Using the scenario from Assignment 1, write a six to seven (4-5) page paper in which you:
1) Identify two (2) types of staffing models that could apply to your chosen scenario and
determine which model would be best suited for efficiency, productivity, and
possible future growth. Examine the significant effect of each identified staffing model on
processes that may be occurring within the organization (e.g., outsourcing, contingent
workers, consulting firms, etc.).
i) Staffing Models (write one or two paragraphs describing possible options for your
business; research possible staffing models).
ii) Model One (describe the first model, which you feel is a viable option for your
specific business and explain why this is a possible option.)
iii) Model Two (describe the second model, which you feel is a viable option for your
specific business and explain why you feel this is the best option.)
2) Predict the major potential legal issues that you may encounter when establishing equal
employment opportunities and diversity within the workplace while still aiming to acquire
employees with the needed certifications and credentials. Next, explain the method of
achieving transparency within your staffing model. Justify your response.
i) Legal Issues (discuss potential legal issues related to EEO and diversity; next, in a
new paragraph explain how you will achieve transparency in your staffing plan.)
3) Specify three (3) tasks that you need to perform to identify, analyze, and develop job
requirements and task statements that you will include in formalized job descriptions.
Next, predict the frequency with which you would need to review and adjust these job
descriptions as your company progresses. Provide a rationale for your response.
i) Job Descriptions: Job Requirements and Task Statements (identify and discuss
three tasks you must do to identify, analyze, and develop your job requirements/task
statements). Rationale: Make sure you discuss how these apply to your scenario.
4. Describe three (3) methods to deal with high employee turnover and the availability of
employees with required knowledge, skills, or abilities. Next, describe the primary manner in
which the described succession-planning methods would be beneficial to your company.
Justify your response.
ii) Describe three (3) methods to deal with high employee turnover
iii) Discuss how you will ensure the availability of employees with required
knowledge, skills, or abilities.
iv) How will you manage succession planning to meet unexpected losses in key
positions?
5. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar
Websites do not qualify as quality resources. (one of these can be our text; any listed references
must be cited within your plan where information from each reference was used. List each
reference you located here in APA format: References should be written IAW APA; first line is
flush left, second and subsequent lines are indented .5” (a hanging indent setting), doublespaced, all black font – not a hyperlink but the URL; refer to APA 6th ed. To remove the
hyperlink, right click on the link, then select the “Remove Hyperlink” option.
General rules for references: Author’s last name, First initial. (date or n.d.). Title. Publication
data if applicable. Retrieval data if electronic – publication data if in hard copy.
Ex.
Heneman, H., Judge, T., & Kammeyer-Mueller, J. (2015). Staffing organizations. Boston, MA:
McGraw-Hill.
When citing a reference, generally list the author’s last name only, and date of publication. If no
author is given, list the first word or two and the date. If no date is given, substitute n.d., for no
date. Ex. (Jones, 2012) or (Jones, n.d.).
If there are two authors, always list both last names in the citation. If there are 3-6 authors, list
the last name of all in the initial citation, then in subsequent citations of that reference, list the
last name of the first author and et al., to represent the others.
Ex. (Heneman, Judge, & Kammeyer-Mueller, 2015) 1st citation of the reference.
Ex. (Heneman et al., 2015). Subsequent citations of the same reference.
Remember, if the citation is at the end of the sentence, the punctuation follows the citation.

Assignment 1: Staffing Plan for a Growing Business
Due Week 6 and worth 280 points
Please choose from one (1) of the scenarios below. Note: The scenario that
you choose in this assignment will be the one (1) with which you continue for
Assignment 2.
Scenario 1
You are a Human Resources Manager of an expanding technology company
consisting of 170 employees that develops and distributes small electronic devices.
Over the past two (2) years, a research group formed, designed, and built prototypes
of small remote surveillance cameras used for security. Recently, your company won
a contract to build and provide these remote surveillance cameras to various
government agencies. The contract will begin with your company supplying these
cameras to agencies within your home state. If all orders are fulfilled sufficiently, the
contract will be expanded to supplying agencies outside of your home state.
For the immediate future, you will need to secure a larger facility and hire more staff
to sustain the first part of the contract. This staff will consist of ten (10) Assembly
Technicians, one (1) Certified Quality Control Engineer, one (1) Contract
Administrator, and one (1) Office Support Paraprofessional. Meanwhile, there is a
contract clause requiring that you provide a staffing plan in order to ensure future
product deliveries and sustain the possible future growth.
Scenario 2
You are a former certified education administrator who departed your former position
to become the owner of a small, in-home day care consisting of you and a part-time
assistant where you care for children from age three (3) to age ten (10). Over the
course of time, your demographic population has increased due to significant business
growth that has resulted in many families relocating to your area. With more
businesses projected to move to the area and the building of new housing
developments, it is projected that this growth could be long term.
You have decided that this is a good opportunity to expand your day care business as
you have received many inquiries for childcare. In order to comply with your home
state regulations, you will require a larger facility and will need to hire additional staff
in order to sustain the larger demand for day care. This staff will consist of five (5)
Certified Day Care Professionals, one (1) Registered Nurse Professional, five (5)
After-School Assistants and one (1) Office Support Paraprofessional. You have
secured approval for a bank loan and qualify for future loans for future expansion if
your current endeavor is successful. Meanwhile, the state in which you operate has
requested that you provide a staffing plan before it will issue licensure for your
expanded capacity.
Note: You may create and / or make all necessary assumptions needed for the
completion of these assignments.
Select one (1) of the scenarios and write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:
1. Identify two (2) types of staffing models that could apply to your chosen

2. Predict the major potential legal issues that you may encounter when
establishing equal employment opportunities and diversity within the
workplace while still aiming to acquire employees with the needed
certifications and credentials. Next, explain the method of achieving
transparency within your staffing model. Justify your response.
3. Specify three (3) tasks that you need to perform to identify, analyze, and
develop job requirements and task statements that you will include in
formalized job descriptions. Next, predict the frequency with which you would
need to review and adjust these job descriptions as your company progresses.
Provide a rationale for your response.
4. Describe three (3) methods to deal with high employee turnover and the
availability of employees with required knowledge, skills, or abilities. Next,
describe the primary manner in which the described succession-planning
methods would be beneficial to your company. Justify your response.

Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name,
the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the
reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
