Employees
You work for a large
technology firm. Recently the human resources department has provided notice
that a vacancy has opened up for the District manager position. The notice
lists the education and experience qualifications and the duties of the
position. The notice further provides the means for applying for the position
and that the position will be filled internally rather than looking for an
external candidate. Further, the notice provides the deadline as to when
candidates who want to be considered should provide the required information.
When looking to fill
positions, whether a promotion or new hire, employers must make sure that they
properly list the qualifications and requirements of the job so that the
candidate can provide to the employer how they are qualified for the position.
This allows the
employer to avoid any issue of possible discrimination or improper actions in
the hiring and promoting procedure.
In framing your
response, review leading legislation that employers must adhere to when dealing
with promotions and hiring:
Identify at least 2
pieces of legislation specifically dealing with discrimination in promotion and
hiring
Provide at least one
advantage and one disadvantage of each piece of legislation
