As the human resources (HR) legal consultant working with Elora Jean & Co., you have identified several needs with regard to the hiring process.

• Based on your research and experience, do you recommend that an affirmative action policy be implemented? If so, what would it include, and what value will it bring to Elora Jean & Co. with regard to helping the company remain competitive?
• If you do not feel that an affirmative action policy is appropriate for Elora Jean & Co., what are the issues? What would you recommend, instead, to maximize the diversity of Elora Jean & Co.'s workforce?
