Final Paper

The Final Project requires you to incorporate all aspects of the course as you evaluate various aspects of your organization’s Human Resources policies, programs, and procedures. You will determine if these elements are sufficient to support the organization’s overall goals and strategies.

Use company policies, handbooks, and other written resources from your organization as primary documentation. You should also make sure to interview the HR Manager and other relevant leaders. In your analysis, you will use relevant research (e.g., websites, articles, texts, etc.) to support your arguments.

   2. Goals and objectives stated via company handbooks, websites, e-mails or newsletters, meetings, or in your interview with the HR manager or other relevant leaders
   3. Plans that the organization uses to forecast for future needs as it relates to nursing professionals.
