Lack of writing and computer skills in the BCP department can have a significant impact on the organization. Vital information can be missed or left out of correspondences to organization cohorts, subcontractors and funders; and simple computer tasks can take more time than expected, resulting in poor productivity, delay in services and missed funding opportunities (as a result of missing deadlines).

The objective, on the recruitment end, would be to become more transparent making potential hires more aware of the expectations of the job and the details of the tasks.

Strategic planning involves making decisions about the organization’s long-term goals and strategies and how the organization decides to implement their goals (Bateman, Snell, Konopaske, pg. 113). Strategies help organizations to have a clear perspective on how to go about accomplishing the goals they have in place.

Thereafter, the planning process permits these leaders to pinpoint the actions and activities that will enable the organization to achieve its mission. Finally, the planning process requires the organizational leaders to synthesize objectives and activities into a blueprint or concrete plan of action under which the organization will conduct its business.
For many years companies have depended on three basic tools, such as résumés, interviews and references to gather qualified candidates. These sources are commonly used in a day to day basis but have proven to be inadequate for consistently selecting good employees. When it comes to hiring and selecting you want to use productive tools to help determine the best decision possible.
