Final Project Sentence or Topic/ Outline: (Leave blank for

the first assignment)

Your topic outline should address each of the following with

a minimum of three and no more than 5 short sentences with important points that you will address in the paper.

I. Abstract (One 3 to 5 sentence paragraph single-spaced

summary of your paper). This is generally written after your

paper is complete.

II. Key Issues: This should generally address the important

issues of your topic.

III. Discussion and Application: of the course

material/concepts to your topic.

IV. Conclusion(s)/Opinion: What you’ve learned from this

paper and the course in light of the key issues posted in

week one along with any of your learning objectives.)

For this assignment, you will build on your understanding of the issue that you selected in Week 1 by interviewing a Human Resources manager regarding their experience and perspectives on the issue. You are free to choose a Human Resource manager from any industry you wish, but they must be employed with an American company of at least 500 employees (this ensures an appropriate context and level of exposure). Also, the HR Manager you choose may work in any HR capacity, but you would probably be wise to choose either an administrator (e.g. someone in charge of the Human Resources department overall) or someone in an area relevant to your issue (e.g. if your issue relates to hiring policies, you might consider a recruiting manager of sorts).

Interviewee: Deputy Chief of Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA), Pacific
over 3,400 employees

Topic: Should affirmative action be mandatory standard practice in hiring to avoid discrimination, inadvertent or otherwise?

Questions:
1. What is your experience with the issue of affirmative action, if any?

A: I haven’t had any experience with the issue of affirmative action.

2. What is your professional opinion on the issue of affirmative action

being a mandatory standard practice, and why?

A: Affirmative Action is a constant reminder that racial and gender inequality

still exists in today’s society. I feel that candidates should be placed in

positions based solely on their experience and/or education and not based on

meeting a company’s quota.

3. How does the company for which you work handle affirmative action, and/or

issues tangential to it if relevant?

A: No answer at this time

4. Do you expect any changes in law or public policy that may change the way

affirmative action is currently being handled in the near-term? Why or why

not?

A: I expect that affirmative action will be vetoed in the future and all

citizens will be treated fairly and equitably when seeking employment.

5. How important is affirmative action being standard practice in hiring

relative to other challenges that your company faces in the HR world?

A: With the many HR challenges my company faces, we focus less on an

individual’s race or gender and more on whether or not an individual

possesses the competencies and skills that are conducive to the agencies

mission.

Once you’ve completed the interview, write a paper and report on your findings. In addition to reporting on the responses of the interviewee, you should also comment on your own reactions. In other words, were the answers you received those which you expected? If not, how so? Were there any questions left unanswered, or any positions of the interviewee with which you disagree?

Submission Instructions:

This assignment should at a minimum contain 750 words of content (double spaced) and should be in APA format including a properly formatted cover page (abstracts are optional) and a reference page with at least three (3) NEW references (“new” here means references that you have not already used in previous assignments in this course). Providing additional references to your assignments demonstrate your desire to conduct additional research on the topic area, and can improve your research skills.

With all assignments, include properly formatted in-text citations within the body of your work for each of your listed references so the reader can ascertain your original thoughts or ideas as well as the portion of your work that is credited to credible sources.
