Staffing Organizations

Assignment 1 Worksheet

In order to complete this assignment, open the Assignment 1 tab in Course Information tab, and select one of the two scenario options.  This business scenario will apply for your staffing plan in both Week 6 and Week 10.

Note: You may create and / or make all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of these assignments.  Use this Worksheet outline to write your notes or to paste relevant points/facts from your references.  Be sure to add the appropriate citation for all of your notes and any copied information.  Conduct your research of the main topics (see bold type below) and extract key topics, ideas, facts to support the development of your plan.  Place your notes below each section and include the citation with each note.  Finally, arrange your notes in a logical, supporting order.  When you have completed your research, you can simply use your notes to write out your plan.  Whenever you use information from your notes, you will already have the appropriate citation available.  Rather than copying and pasting, use the main concepts of your research and then paraphrase those concepts in your own words based on how those principles will apply to your specific business scenario.
