You work for a small manufacturing company located in Western Pennsylvania. The company employs

$100$ people in their Western PA facility. Recently, the company acquired another manufacturing

organization that has locations in Tennessee, Oregon, and West Virginia. As a result, you have added an

additional $150$ employees to the payroll. Employees range from skilled labor to high level engineers and

technicians. You are the HR Director at the company. You have an HR Generalist who works in your

department as well as a Benefits & Payroll Specialist. Due to the acquisition, you have recently hired a

Recruiter to handle additional staffing you foresee in the future. This person just started within the last

month. You have been given the $$go ahead$$ by management to purchase a new HRIS in order to better

manage the employment relationship from recruitment, to onboarding, benefits & compensation,

training, and separation. Additionally, this system will help you partner with other departments to

become more efficient at achieving strategic objectives.
