OL 211 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
Many businesses and organizations large enough to require human resource management (HRM) will need someone that not only understands core human
resource (HR) responsibilities, but also understands the vision and mission of the organization.
To align the core HR requirements of an organization with its strategic plan, you will conduct an HRM review of an organization in a case study. Be creative in
assembling each of the individual components or HR tools to the HRM review so that they would be consistent with and add value to the organization. Complete
the HRM review that illustrates how each of the HR tools plays a role in an organization’s overall strategic plan.
The project is divided into four milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two, Three, Four, and Five. Your comprehensive proposal will be submitted in Module Seven.
This assessment addresses the following course outcomes:
