For your portfolio, you will be creating a hospitality leadership guidebook that reflects the focus of each course in the Hospitality Leadership program. The purpose of the portfolio is to explain and provide information to hospitality industry leaders who can reference and make use of it to become more effective leaders. Organizations continuously develop new strategies with the intention of reaching goals. One of the most important parts when deciding which strategy will provide the best outcome is knowing the people employed within your organization. The human resource audit provides all information necessary for decisions to be made with confidence.

A. A human resource audit will differ from one organization to another due to the size, geographic location, type of product or service offered. Create a human resource audit checklist (containing a minimum of 15 items) that could be used for a business operating in the hospitality industry.

B. The human resource audit will also show the gaps within the organization and provides the opportunity to fill in the gaps or work around them. Many organizations use the 5 R’s to assist them in filling in the gaps and successfully reach their goals. The 5 R’s can be done individually or in combination with each other to close the gaps.

In 1–2 sentences each, explain each of the five R’s. 1) Retirement 2) Retraining 3) Redeployment 4) Redundancy 5) Recruitment

C. Providing an example is a great way to help guidebook readers understand the concepts. As an example, in 1 paragraph, explain how the combination of retirement and recruitment (two of the 5 R’s) could assist in closing a gap discovered at the conclusion of a human resource audit.
