KEY ASSIGNMENT- STRATEGIC HR PLAN (Due in Week 7):
HR Policy and the implementation of policy vary based on organizational norms and adherence and interpretation of the relevant federal and state laws. The ideal Strategic HR Plan outlines how the gaps between present and future capabilities will be addressed, enabling businesses to effectively pursue their company goals.
In most organizations, managers have a responsibility to fulfill expectations in the areas of corporate governance, transparency of policies, accountability, and economic efficiency. For organizations to be successful in these areas, they need to have the right people, with the right skills, in the right place, at the right time to carry out the strategy.

Human resource policies outline how an organization will treat its people and property providing a framework for the organization for consistency and ethical decision making. Human resources policies are guidelines for hiring, work processes, compensation, leave, training, promotion, work environments, termination and other important functions. 

Scenario:

In your quarterly executive meeting, The CEO just announced plans to expand the business by 30% in the next 2-5 years.

In your current review of the organization, you have identified serious concerns in productivity, innovativeness, profitability (or cost effectiveness), and employee morale. All of which are much lower than they should be to meet today’s competitive and social challenges. You are now even more concerned with the CEO’s plans to grow the organization over the next 3-5 years.

Based on your current review of the organization, in addition to the 3-5 year growth plans, identify a minimum of 3 strategies that you will use to address the gaps between future needs and present HR capabilities of the organization. You could choose strategies that focus on any of the following areas in the organization:

• Job/Work Design
• Selection/Staffing
• Performance Management
• Compensation/Rewards
• Training/Development
• Employee Relations
• Safety and Health
• Workforce Diversity
