Staffing Strategy

In M2: Assignment 1 and M3: Assignment 1, you assumed you were a manager in the HR department for WidgetMaker, a large US-based company. For this assignment, you will once again take on that role.

WidgetMaker has recently acquired a much smaller firm. The company culture and business objectives are very different for the two companies, but it is important for the executives to maintain the objectives of both firms. As a manager in the resulting HR department, you are now tasked with ensuring that the staffing strategies of the combined company promote these combined objectives. Organizational staffing strategies evolve as companies advance through development stages.
