Assignment 1: Staffing Plan for a Growing Business
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.
