 each question should be answered with a page and a half

pick a single company in the S&P 500 and answer the following four questions…

  1. Experience  is a common job requirement – but aspiring professionals are often  frustrated by this obstacle to career advancement. They think “I need  experience to get the job BUT I need the job to get experience!!!” Maybe  you can relate to this. First, research and describe how your chosen  company is handling the question of education and experience  requirements in hiring. Then, explain how you would handle it  differently (if at all) if you were in charge of Human Resources and  Workforce Management for the same company. How much would or should be  necessary? Would it vary by job? If so, how? And are there any  exceptions?


2.  Some businesses focus a lot on succession  planning. Others, however, seem to just put off worrying about it until  someone dies, resigns, or gets fired. First, research and describe how  your chosen company is handling the questions of employee development  and succession planning. Then, explain how you would handle it  differently (if at all) if you were in charge of Human Resources and  Workforce Management for the same company. What kind of programs or  initiatives or incentives would you put in place? How would you measure  whether your efforts are achieving the desired goals? 


3.  Most businesses run payroll biweekly, but  some do it more frequently and some less frequently. First, research  and describe how your chosen company is handling the question of payroll  frequency. Then, explain how you would handle it differently (if at  all) if you were in charge of Human Resources and Workforce Management  for the same company. What are the advantages and drawbacks to your  chosen frequency? 


4.  Location is a critical variable in  determining not just where a business’s operations will be situated, but  also where it will find its human capital and talent. First, research  and describe how your chosen company is handling location strategy.  Then, explain how you would handle it differently (if at all) if you  were in charge of Human Resources and Workforce Management for the same  company. If you were asked to identify a new city (anywhere in the  United States) for a corporate headquarters office, what city would you  suggest and why? Be sure to consider variables like minimum wage and  taxes, average education levels, and other factors that would be  relevant to such a decision 


 minimum of eight (8) sources (two for each of the questions)
