Human Resource Management Course:

Instructions

Managing Risk from a Human Resources perspective is a very broad topic. For one, we have to think of covering critical positions in case of illness, promotions, terminations, or escape from the company. This case study puts you in the role of HR Director for a manufacturing firm that is a critical supplier of products used in health care/hospitals for the protection of health care workers from contagious diseases. Your business is essential, seriously essential. The scenario involves the outbreak of a deadly virus which has become a pandemic. Work through and list the items that you must put into place for your employees, who we need to keep working for the sake of protecting human beings worldwide. Don't forget that you may have employees who are at risk for their own health due to underlying health conditions such as heart disease, transplants, diabetes, and cancer, to name a few. Include in your list any incentives that you can think of to attract employees to come to work (there may be government stimulus dollars AND additions to normal unemployment payments that make it attractive to stay home).
