Overview
Your capstone project is to create a human resources (HR) strategy proposal that seeks to reposition the HR division from a simple administrative function to a key strategic role within the organization and focus on advancing the organization’s global competitiveness.
In this milestone, you will submit a professional cover letter detailing your proposal, recommendations, and implementation process. Include evidence-based examples that support your reasons for identifying these HR initiatives. You will receive feedback from your instructor regarding the cover letter. Implement this feedback into your final version of the HR strategy proposal.
Directions
For Milestone Two, you will submit a professional cover letter addressed to the senior leadership of your selected organization. The cover letter should briefly introduce the intent of your proposal and should detail the various parts that may be implemented to advance HR initiatives. The letter should include specific information and evidence supporting your recommendations.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
- Appropriate Audience: Submit a draft of an introductory cover letter appropriate to address the senior leadership of the company.
- Outline Content: Introduce the intent of the proposal and the various subjects to be discussed, including the proposal itself and how it would be implemented should it be approved.
- Supporting Evidence: Use properly cited information and evidence-based examples that support identifying these HR initiatives.
What to Submit
The cover letter should be submitted as a Microsoft Word document. The document should be 1 to 2 pages in length, use double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Sources should be cited according to the latest edition of APA style.
