Human Resource Management Plan and Job Aids

For your final project, you will develop documentation for human resources professionals to manage a specific employment position. The materials you create would assist HR professionals in the four functions of job analysis, selection, orientation, and training, all towards helping the company meet its goals.

In the final project, you will be conveying your own ideas for human resources tools. However, it is important that you base your decisions on the literature in the field. In addition to your textbook, you should have references from at least one human resources journal and at least one reputable Web site for human resources professionals. Format references according to APA guidelines.

· Executive summary
· Presentation on job analysis
· Tips for the selection process
· Script for orienting new employees
· Training proposal
