Introduction
CapraTek combines almost 30 years of engineering experience with production that is continually achieving new efficiencies. The company is committed to living its values through initiatives that focus on development of human capital, commitment to being a good corporate neighbor, and support of green technology initiatives. Founded in 1984, CapraTek has been profitable every year since its inception.
CapraTek has production facilities and research centers in Silicon Valley, South Carolina, New Mexico, Illinois, and also serves as managing partner of a consortium with operations in India, Singapore, Taiwan, South Africa, and the Czech Republic. As the organization has grown, however, the management development has not always reflected best practices for promotions and hiring.
The newly enhanced HR Department has been revamped and expanded to deal with these management issues. While CapraTek has a strong anti-discrimination policy that appears to be effective, HR has identified a need to look at the question, “is this policy actually working?” While this question could be addressed in a number of ways, the first analysis will be to look at concentration statistics. CapraTek has a policy of promoting from within that encourages employees to develop their skills internally and move up the organization. Concentration statistics address the question, “is this policy working?” If this policy is working as intended, the percentage of employees at each organization level would be the same (30 percent females in plant management, supervisor positions and production workers). While there is no hard-and-fast rule to follow, the analysis will look at major differences.
CapraTek is an equal opportunity employer and hires without regard to sex, race, religion, color, national origin, ethnicity, military veteran status, gender identity or sexual preference. In addition, CapraTek believes in developing employees internally and moving them into new positions as they become available.
