For this assignment, assume that you are the new Director of Human Resources for a mid-size

healthcare organization. Due to potential business growth and expansion, your organization is planning

SAMPLE

to hire a significant number of new employees. In anticipation of this major hiring drive, you want to

create information resources that will help managers understand the importance of recruitment and

selection processes.

 

Instructions:

1. Create a brochure that will serve as a learning aid to help managers. Incorporate both text and

images. While you may create your brochure in word processing software (as a Word document,

for example), you must designate headings and subtitles, using the Ten Basic Tips for Tri-Fold

Brochure Design for Desktop Publishers.

2. Include the following in the learning aid:

• Explain why recruitment and selection processes are vital in healthcare workforce

planning.

• Explain the importance of measuring key competencies and skills.

• Describe an effective recruitment and selection process.

3. Include a minimum of five references; three of these must be peer-reviewed sources. The CSUGlobal Library is a good place to find these.

4. Format your brochure according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements.

5. Your brochure must be 6-8 pages long. Designate section headings (effective brochures divide

information into easily readable sections).

6. Be sure to discuss and reference concepts taken from the assigned textbook reading and

relevant research. Review the grading rubric to see how you will be graded for this assignment.

Option 2: Create a Learning Aid about Workforce Retention

For this assignment, interview someone who is a leader in the healthcare field (HR manager,

department manager, etc.) about the importance and significance of retaining workers. Some things to

consider when conducting the interview:

• Methods they have used to retain staff,

• The effectiveness of their retention process,

• Philosophy surrounding their methods, and

• Successes and struggles they have had.

 

Instructions:

1. Create a slide presentation from this interview that will serve as a learning aid to help other

managers. Incorporate both text and images.

2. Address the following topics in the presentation, connecting them to your interview:

• Explain why retention processes are vital in healthcare workforce planning.

• Explain the role and importance of compensation and reward.

• Describe an effective retention process.

3. Include at least two other peer-reviewed sources to support your points and those of your

interviewee. The CSU-Global Library is a good place to find these.

4. Your slide presentation must be 8-10 slides and include images and content with speaker notes

for each slide. You may use PowerPoint or Internet-based presentation tools such as Prezi or

Slide Rocket. (Be sure to include the URL of your presentation when using Internet-based tools.

Paste the URL into a Word document and upload with your presentation.) You can find

SAMPLEadditional guides on making presentations in the CSU-Global Library.

Be sure to discuss and reference concepts taken from the assigned textbook reading and relevant

research. Format your slide presentation according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA

Requirements. Review the grading rubric to see how you will be graded for this assignment.
