Assignment:
The group project requires you to start a fictitious small business (approximately 30 employees). It should be a business that is fun and interesting to you and your classmates. Be creative! Examples of businesses include a detective agency, a car dealership, an advertising firm, a cruise ship, bakery, or a newspaper. Please choose something other than a restaurant/bar, as too many presentations about those get repetitive. All group members must be in attendance for their presentation. The project requires you to make specific recommendations about what HR policies are appropriate for your business. The project requires you to apply the content from all class material and resources to your small business, covering the 4 basic functions of Human Resources Management. For example, one of the early modules will cover human resource planning and recruitment. You will apply those topics to your business to decide things like how to deal with an initial staffing, what sources to use for the recruitment of new employees, and how to ensure that new recruits will stay with your organization.
