Fostering corporate diversity

Project instructions:
You work as the human resources manager for a small software company of about 100 employees. An employee who has worked for the company for six years as a technical writer comes to you to ask about adding his same

sex partner to his medical insurance plan. Though the company has a non-discrimination policy that includes sexual orientation, health benefits for same sex employees are not currently offered and have never been asked until

now. You have told him you will get back to him with a formal written response within the week after investigating options.

Write a recommendation report to the CEO of the company advocating for a change in company policy that will allow same sex couples in committed or married relationships the option to add partners to companies health

insurance plan. You live and work in a state where same sex marriage is not currently legal but it seems economically inadvisable to exclude qualified lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender employees from the same benefits as

other employees have. How will you make your case for the need? How will you go about investigating the particulars of reforming the plans options? What will be the general sections and argument for your report?–
