Decide what industry this organization would be and outline the specific choices you make setting up this new company. Specifically, what currents trends in HRM would affect your decisions, composition of your labor force, recruitment strategies and job placement? What safeguards you would put in place to comply with EEOC and other federal employment laws? What methods would be considered best practice for designing jobs in this company? Outline the training programs that would available and how you would approach employee development, how employee performance would be evaluated, the pay structure, benefits package, and incentive programs.

Cover pages and citations are excluded from your page count.
