In this assignment, your information literacy skills will be assessed at the “introduced” level. The information literacy rubric will be useful for this purpose. In MGT411, they will be assessed at the “reinforced” level. Finally, in MGT491, your information literacy skills will be assessed at the “mastered” level. The grading rubric for information literacy at the undergraduate level has been developed to measure student success in meeting the MGT407 Case 2 expectations. Rubrics for the other two courses are included in their respective assignments.

Assignment Overview

Taking a strategic approach to HR, managers anticipate the future supply of and demand for employees and the nature of workforce issues, including the retention of employees. These factors are considered when recruiting applicants for job openings and making the best selection decisions possible.

Being able to recruit and retain the “best” employees has been a challenging task for HR managers. The “best” employees are not necessarily the most qualified individuals (e.g., those with the most education or work experience); they are the individuals who provide value to an organization, complement the organization, understand and embrace the organization’s mission, help build an inclusive workforce, and fit the culture of the organization.
