Assignment  Requirement
This Assignment consists of 2 components; in  the first component of this assignment, assume that you are the HR manager and that your organisation requires you to provide a plan and a set of recommendations that would identify parameters and protocols for design and development of an HR DBMS.
 
Your  organisation  is  going  through  a  high  growth  phase  and  needs  to  recruit  and  train  about  500 employees in the next 12 months. It also needs to identify the performance and skill profiles of present employees for later possible redundancies. The central question that you need to consider: What characteristics should a credible HR Data base for the high‐growth industry have?   In other words, if you are to design a DBMS for your company, what functionalities would you integrate into your DBMS. Once you have outlines of the design parameters, you need to rationalise your choice and need to highlight the need for functionalities in the context of the case organisation and the job/job category you are focusing on.
The design parameters of the DBMS of your case organisation should be directly applied to at least 2 of the functions below in your organisation:
