HR Expansion Study Case
Assume that you are the HR manager of a mid-sized business in British Columbia and the CEO of your company is planning expansion in the near future. As an HR manager,
what resources would you deem necessary for the expansion to be successful? What would your suggested strategic plan for this expansion be?
As an HR manager my suggested strategic plan will be to approach as much as possible Human Resources Planning.
Changes are constantly happening, and as an HR Management you need to make sure, you’re properly running the department by not only starting to question the implications that this new expansion will bring but to let the current work force know about
the upcoming changes and modifications. Then, we can start forecasting how many new employees are needed, when and where do we need them. Then, I would assess the internal and external supply of labour, to know the resources available and what skills and competencies they have. Evaluating all our options, will let us know what type of skills we are looking for and which ones we already have. By having this information it will be easy to decide what type of candidates will be considered for new employee positions. Next, I would develop the HR Objectives. What are we trying to do with this new expansion, and how HR goals should be oriented towards the company’s expansion goals. After having our
goals outlined, we will have to decide what type of programs (demand and supply) we will implement to achieve those goals. Finally, we will have to perform a program evaluation. Are we having tangible results by applying this chosen program into our HR strategy? If so,
in what degree? And how is this relevant to achieve our company’s goals? (
McShane et al., 2004).
Human Resources practices are directly related to organizational goals. With the help of these strategies, we can increase the company's growth potential and competitive power, covering employment and demand expectation. Another critical factor to consider is to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage with an innovative mindset, efficient and effective (Ali, 2019).
