The objective of this assessment is to demonstrate your understanding of how the human resource function interacts with other functions in the organization.

The first part of the assignment is to create an agenda for New Employee Orientation at Southwood School. The orientation should last one full day. The new employee will meet with representatives from: HR, Finance, Information Technology and the school administrator. Present the Agenda as a nice handout that you want to distribute to the new employees and employees who will be taking part in the orientation. Set up a schedule, time, and location time for each meeting. You might want to build in breaks or lunch. Give each meeting a subject title and short description. It is recommended that a Table be used.

The second part of the assignment is for you to provide a description of each meeting and, in detail, explain the pertinent information the new employee will learn from each representative of his/her department. In this section of the paper references should be used to support your description/explanation as to what makes each meeting important for a new employee and to the school.
