Task: This solution is over 400 words in length. The actual textbook case study questions provided by the student were:
Problem 1. Should seniority be eliminated as an eligibility standard for bidding on jobs, meaning the two years plus employees would no longer have priority?
Problem 2. Should the job posting system simply be eliminated? If so, what should replace it?
Problem 3. Should a strict promotion from within policy be maintained? Why or why not?
Problem 4. How could career mobility paths be developed that would allow across-team movement without threatening team identity and cohesion?
Problem 5. If a new internal labor market system is to be put in place, how should it be communicated to employees?
Each of these questions is addressed in detail on how each staffing system item can be to the benefit, or detriment, of the organization.
