Business Expansion and Sustainability

Business Expansion and Sustainability Assignment.
You are a Human Resources Manager of an expanding technology company consisting of 170 employees that
develops and distributes small electronic devices. Over the past two years, a research group formed, designed,
and built prototypes of small remote surveillance cameras used for security. Recently, your company won a
contract to build and provide these remote surveillance cameras to various government agencies. The contract
will begin with your company supplying these cameras to agencies within your home state. If all orders are
fulfilled sufficiently, the contract will be expanded to supplying agencies outside of your home state.
For the immediate future, you will need to secure a larger facility and hire more staff to sustain the first part of
the contract. This staff will consist of 10 Assembly Technicians, one Certified Quality Control Engineer, one
Contract Administrator, and one Office Support Paraprofessional. Meanwhile, there is a contract clause
requiring that you provide a staffing plan in order to ensure future product deliveries and sustain the possible
future growth.

contingent workers, consulting firms, etc.).

certifications and credentials. Next, explain the method of achieving transparency within your staffing model.
