You have been the human resources director for the City of Rio Salado for 2 years. In the past 3 months, six staff members have been promoted to supervisor positions throughout the city. You have noticed that the new supervisors have the technical skills needed to manage their areas, but they do not have a strong personnel administration background.

To help increase their skills, you decide to write memo that will be distributed to all new supervisors to highlight important public personnel administration concepts they should know.

 

In form of a memo (To, From, Date, and Subject Line)

 

Each topic must be addressed separately. 

1. Performance management
2. Recruitment, selection, and promotion
3. Training, education, and staff development

For each topic, include a subheading with the name of the topic and address the information below. 

• Clearly explain the topic
• Discuss the history, background, and or legal aspects of the topic.
• Explain why the topic is relevant to personnel administration.
• Discuss why this topic is important for a supervisor to understand and provide a practical example of a situation where a supervisor might use this topic in the workplace.
