Staffing Plans For A Growing Business

 

 

Scenario 1
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.
Scenario 2
You are a former certified education administrator who departed your former position to become the owner of a small, in-home day care consisting of you
and a part-time assistant where you care for children from ages 3–10. Over the course of time, your demographic population has increased due to significant
business growth that has resulted in many families relocating to your area. With more businesses projected to move to the area and the building of new
housing developments, it is projected that this growth could be long term.
You have decided that this is a good opportunity to expand your day care business as you have received many inquiries for childcare. In order to comply with
your home state regulations, you will require a larger facility and will need to hire additional staff in order to sustain the larger demand for day care. This staff
will consist of five Certified Day Care Professionals, one Registered Nurse Professional, five After-School Assistants, and one Office Support
Paraprofessional. You have secured approval for a bank loan and qualify for future loans for future expansion if your current endeavor is successful.
Meanwhile, the state in which you operate has requested that you provide a staffing plan before it will issue licensure for your expanded capacity.
