Please note, that the assignments in this course build upon one another.
For these assignments, you will take on the role of a consultant for a government agency. Your
consulting firm has been asked by the agency to conduct research, compile a report, and provide
recommendations for improvement of their personnel management system. The first role of the
consultant is to become familiar with the agency and its departments. You will develop the
assignment in four parts, submitting each to your supervisor (your professor) who will review
and grade your efforts.
Week 3: Rationale and Analysis for Agency Selected.
Week 5: Evaluation of Agency's Public Personnel Administration.
Week 7: Agency's Law and Ethics of Hiring a Diverse Workforce.
Week 10: Analysis of the Agency's Policies, Procedures, and Plans - Unions, Privatization,
Pensions, and Productivity.
