Lauren KurtzBMGT360 – 0105December 30, 2012Assignment 9CompTech It appears as though CompTech has evident issues in their hiring process. By hiring a full-time Training and Development Manager, they can assure that all managers undergo a uniform training process that will accurately prepare them for their position. As per tradition, CompTech tends to hire approximately sixty percent of their managers from outside of the company; this directly affects how groomed a manager is when starting in a new position. For instance, more than half of newly hired managers are not familiar with anything about how the business works, let alone how to properly manage one of the stores.

This is a very evident EEO issue that should be addressed immediately. In order to take care of this potential issue, it is necessary for CompTech to adjust their managerial positions to include a variety of both predominant genders as well as all races. A lack of diversity within authoritative roles will put CompTech at a disadvantage. There must be clear equality among all races, ethnicities, genders, and ages, and the current Manager Demographics prove that this is not the case. With the twenty vacancies, CompTech should recruit among a more diverse group of applicants and fill in their numbers for managers of the minority races.
