Organization Management

 

Assignment

Your organization is growing, but has a tenured aging workforce with outdated job descriptions. You were tasked with evaluating the workforce needs and have determined that the organization needs several new supervisor positons and one mid-level manager. Recently a tenured employee who turned 50 years old last year complained about potential discrimination in promotion opportunities. In particular, the employee indicated that he was passed over for a promotion opportunity when his younger boss suddenly began writing negative performance reviews. However, there was no job description for the employee to compare with his suddenly poorly rated performance. As a result one of your actions is to review the job requirements and the promotion process to ensure equal opportunity.

In this challenge you will use the SHRM, O*net, and EEOC web sites. In this assignment you will demonstrate skill in identifying and using credible and reliable sources of information as well as applying APA formatting.
