Addressing Key Human Resource Functions
Part 1
Training staff is important for employers as training focuses on current job requirements. Employers' responsibilities around staff development arguably are not as obvious since development focuses on enhancing skills required for future jobs.

In what ways can decisions about staff development affect a public health organization's staffing plan?
What strategies would you recommend to balance the benefits of staff development with budgetary constraints?
Part 2

When determining compensation, consideration should be given to fair and equitable compensation among all workers in the same company (internal equity) and fair and equitable compensation relative to the external market (external equity).
Consider the following scenario:
You have two medical assistants (MAs) who earn $15 per hour at your medical practice. When you hire a new MA, you discover that the current market pays $16 per hour for medical assistants.
Respond to the following discussion points in relation to equity conflicts and compensation:
State what you would offer the new MA and provide your reasons.
Discuss the implications of your decisions on internal and external equity.
Evaluate the changes, if any, you would make in the compensation of your current MAs.
