Your client is a young entrepreneur who recently started a business that has taken off far faster than he or she expected. Almost overnight, it seems, the business has grown to 50 employees, and your client has realized that with the increase in employees, a need for an HR function has arisen. Your client has approached you for advice regarding whether he or she should create an internal Human Resources department, or whether he or she would be better off retaining the services of experts via an external HR consulting firm at this time. You've been asked to prepare a report that explains the two options and that provides a recommendation for your client's business. Feel free to make up any details necessary regarding the nature of your client's business, and the future forecast of the business. Personalize it! Feel free to make up a company so it is geared towards the company.

Choose an analytical report or informational report

For the following topic, you will need to conduct some research in order to put together a report with adequate supporting evidence and detail. You MUST cite a minimum of three sources in your report. Please make sure that you verify the validity and reliability of your sources before using them. Each of the three sources must be integrated (whether directly quoted or paraphrased) into the body of your report with proper in-text citation; each source must also be listed on a proper Reference Page ( APA). Your report should be approximately 3-5 pages single spaced. Your Reference Page is counted as a separate page. The use of visuals in your reports is encouraged - but make sure that if you did not create the visual yourself, you include a proper citation.
