Parameters for the organization:
You are free to describe the organization with which you will be associated. You will need to provide some level of detail of your organization. Use your general knowledge, coursework, and research to accomplish this.
1) Even though you are required to provide general organizational details, you will be focusing on the human resources function.
2) Assume that a core group of managers and employees (approximately 250) are already in place.
3) Your organization can produce a product or perform a service.

With the human resources field, there are a number of strategies that HR must develop and in concert with respective managers that must align with the overall organization's mission and strategic goals. Select one of the plans/strategies. A discussion and analysis of why and how you developed the strategy must be included in the paper. Best practices based on the research and your text should be discussed.
