Human Resource Initiatives (Primary Research Assignment)

Primary research for this assignment can be in the form of a personal or telephone interview.  With COVID-19, please utilize technology to conduct your interview, so the interview is not face-to-face (teleconference, video conference, etc.).  The person must be an expert in the human resource field, someone who has first-hand experience with the initiative or issue, reporting of direct observation from you in a researcher role or a human resource role.

Secondary research does not require an interview and we continue to gather data by utilizing existing research.
