Reference no: EM13813619

SaharaOasis.com is an online retailer that currently has 1,500 employees and warehouse operations in New York, Nebraska, and Nevada. The company is prospering and has decided to expand its operations globally by opening a new warehouse in South Korea, with hopes of continued expansion into Europe.

To open the new warehouse, management staff will be transferred from the company's current locations. They will also have to hire approximately 500 warehouse personnel and a logistics manager. South Korea is proving to be a very competitive environment for online retailers. The human resources (HR) staff must develop a workforce plan that can create a competitive advantage for SaharaOasis. All functional areas of HR will be involved in making this expansion a success. As the human resources director for SaharaOasis, you will be held responsible for planning, managing, and presenting information to the vice president (VP) of HR and the board of directors for the organization.

Using CTU Library resources and the course text and materials, research global human resources and respond to the following questions:

What role will the different functions within human resources play in the opening of this new facility?
How will each function aid in creating a competitive advantage for SaharaOasis? Address each of the functions of HR including: staffing, training and development, performance management, compensation, and employee relations.
How will the organizational structure and culture adapt to the changes that would result from globalization (how would you empower teams, resolve conflicts, and motivate employees to support the changes from this workforce plan)?

Provide a reference list at the end of your primary task response of at least 5 CTU Library articles, and include in-text citations for the articles in APA format.
