HRM/531 Human Capital Management
Professor Dennis Heins

My current promotion to midlevel manager at Art Institute has me very excited about the opportunities that lie ahead. A very exhilarating feeling has come along with accepting this position as midlevel manager. However, with all of the excitement attached to this promotion, a bit of sadness is in the air as well. The team will have to be restructured.
We are a team that makes up the Admissions Department and have always relied heavily on customer service. Our branch of the Art Institute has added on two new programs; culinary and media arts. Therefore, more students are inquiring about these programs, which mean more students will have to be enrolled. The company has conducted an in-depth job analysis to determine its specific needs to hire another Director of Admissions (first-level management position), two more Assistant Director of Admissions, an Admissions Recruiter, and another Assistant Director of Readmission. The responsibilities of the new hires involve fully supporting the Admissions Department with enrolling students into the new programs that have recently been established.
