Description: Choose an Human Resources-driven company policy (e.g., No Smoking Policy) to analyze; preferably a policy where you work or have worked in the past. Remember, you are analyzing an organizational policy, NOT an EEO (Equal Employment Opportunity) law. However, you can and absolutely should analyze how the organizational policy is affected by any EEO laws that are applicable.
Analyze and evaluate the policy.
Historical context (why the policy came about)
Nuts and bolts (i.e., specific details about the policy)
Implementation (i.e., training, etc.)
Expected outcomes
If good (how can the policy be enhanced)
If bad (how can the policy be revised)
Using managerial concepts learned from this and other courses (including Statistics and MIS where applicable), take a comprehensive look at the impact of the policy outcomes and discuss the impact at each applicable level.
Levels of Impact
Company Level
Employee Level
Community level
Other stakeholders; if applicable
