Question #: 60
Topic #: 1

SCENARIO -- Please use the following to answer the next QUESTION:

Dracarys Inc. is a large multinational company with headquarters in Seattle, Washington, U.S.

ADracarys began as a small company making and selling women's clothing, but rapidly grew through its early innovative use of online platforms to sell its products. Dracarys is now one of the biggest names in the industry, and employs staff across the globe, and in Asia has employees located in both Singapore and Hong Kong.
Due to recent management restructuring they have decided, on the advice of external consultants, to open an office in India in order to centralize its call center as well as its internal human resource functions for the Asia region. Dracarys would like to centralize the following human resource functions in India:
1. The recruitment process;
2. Employee assessment and records management;
3. Employee benefits administration, including health insurance.
Dracarys will have employees on the ground in India managing the systems for the functions listed above. They have been presented with a variety of vendor options for these systems, and are currently assessing the suitability of these vendors for their needs.
The CEO of Dracarys is concerned about the behavior of her employees, especially online. After having
proprietary company information being shared with competitors by former employees, she is eager to put certain measures in place to ensure that the activities of her employees, while on Dracarys' premises or when using any of Dracarys' computers and networks are not detrimental to the business.
Dracarys' external consultants are also advising the company on how to increase earnings. Dracary's management refuses to reduce production costs and compromise the quality of their garments, so the consultants suggested utilizing customer data to create targeted advertising and thus increase sales.
Which of the following guidelines does Dracarys NOT need to take into account when implementing monitoring and surveillance tools?

AThe Indian Information Technology Act of 2000.

BThe Hong Kong guide to monitoring personal data privacy at work.

CThe Hong Kong Code of Practice on Human Resource Management.

DThe Singapore advisory guidelines on the personal data protection act for selected topics (employment and CCTV).

I agree, C is the right answer. The scenario clearly states that the recruitment process is one of the HR functions Dracarys wants to centralize in India, so it doesn't need to be covered in the contract.

The correct answer is C) Employee recruitment process. The scenario mentions that Dracarys wants to centralize the recruitment process in India, so this would not need to be established in the contract with the vendor.
