For each topic your task is to write a short 1-2-page proposal for the organization. BACKGROUNDHollens Sports Apparel (HSA) is a privately owned and operated company that specializes in the design and manufacturing of sports clothing for women and men. The organization was founded 2013 by Paula Hollens. She initially began the business from her grandmother’s basement and spent much of her time traveling up and down the country with nothing but apparel (fatna) in the trunk of her car. Over the years the company has grown following increased popularity of their products.The organization prides itself of making sporting apparel from start to finish, from concept and design all the way to manufacturing. They do not outsource manufacturing to other countries, as many of their competitors do. Mrs. Hollens believes this is a key element in the organizations success. The organization consists of a number of divisions, including Sales and marketing, Research and development, Design, Manufacturing, and Operations (Finance, HR, and IT). In recent years the organization has grown quite rapidly, doubling in size over the past three years, now employing about 120 employees.With an increase in size have come up some issues that the founder feels she is ill equipped to deal with. Mrs. Hollins has recently promoted John, a long-time employee, to the role of HR director. He is fairly inexperienced and has not yet completed his degree in HR management. In order to provide much-needed assistance, you have been hired as an outside consultant to help the organization deal with a number of issues.
