Paper one
In this assignment, you are conducting a needs assessment and developing two job descriptions for your current organization (Aramark) or a preapproved organization that you have access to interact with in order to complete this assignment. If you are not currently in an organization, please inform your instructor of the organization you will use to complete this project. They must approve your selection prior to beginning your assignment and you must have the ability to observe employees and functions within that organization.
Needs Assessment
Observe and assess the state of your current organization, or another pre-selected organization. A needs assessment is necessary to identify areas for potential growth, both at the employee and organizational level. If you are not in a position to look holistically at your organization, you can focus on a department or team within the organization. Use the "Needs Assessment Matrix" resource to complete your needs assessment. You are required to analyze functions, trainings, jobs, and employment needs in order to complete your matrix and prepare for the next part of this assignment.
Job Descriptions
Once your needs assessment is complete, you are required to select two positions in your organization and develop a one-page detailed job description for each position. It is recommended that you take the time to conduct a job analysis and observe current employees in the selected positions to accurately depict the knowledge, skills, abilities, and other characteristics that must be incorporated into the job descriptions. If you are unable to observe, do your best to accurately depict the specific functions of the job. You will submit the completed "Needs Assessment Matrix" and both job descriptions for this assignment.
APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

Second Part of the paper
Once you have a clear understanding of what your organization needs, it is time to consider the interview process. This assignment is a continuation of the acquiring, developing, and leveraging employee process you have already been working on during this course. The interview process is an important step in hiring the right person for your organization. For this assignment, develop an interview strategy you would consider using to interview and select the right candidate for your organization. You are required to use the job descriptions you developed in the previous assignment. As you are developing your interview strategy, think about testing options that would benefit the interview process. The following must be included in your interview strategy (750-1,000 words):
1 A detailed description of the time, place, format, interview type, and employees involved in the actual interview process.
2 At least one testing option to be included in the interview process. Why is this option best suited for the interview?
3 A minimum of four situational and four behavioral interview questions that you would use to interview for both jobs. (Reminder: Use both of the job descriptions from your previous assignment).

Paper #3
Training and development prompts a change within an organization. The goal of training is to identify areas for improvement and develop materials and opportunities to educate employees in order to support growth.
For this assignment, you are required to develop a small training exercise. Review your needs assessment and previous observations conducted on your work environment to help identify one area for improvement that would benefit a part of your organization. This training exercise does not need to be implemented, but should include at least one deliverable that you could use during the training exercise. As you are reviewing your organization, consider employee engagement, systems, procedures, communication, and the culture within the organization. These are suggestions for possible areas that could benefit from a training exercise. The training must include the following:
What goal is the organization trying to accomplish?
What processes or procedures will change after the training?
Describe the strategies or actions involved in the training exercise to meet established goals. What is the expected performance or applications after the training? How will the strategies drive successful business results and improve employee performance?
How will the organization provide support to the employees receiving training? To new employees? Does this support consider strengths and weaknesses within the organization?
You are required to develop a written description (1,000 words) including one visual for your training exercise. Be sure to take time to analyze your work surroundings and identify a need for further training and development.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
