Scenario:
For more than 10 years you have been a human resources manager at a welding and machining company that has remained fairly stable. The business has 20-25 employees, most of whom have been with the company for nearly 25 years. Your firm has built a reputation of quality, and the relationships of your long-time employee team with customers are a key pillar of your client service strategy. You have conducted both an environmental scan of the external environment, as well as a supply and demand forecast.
You have determined that the operating environment is far too challenging to sustain your current employee compliment, and that the skills gap between your current team and the future direction of the company -- automation -- is very wide. You must present a change management plan to upskill your team, reduce your workforce, and realign the company through HRM strategy.
Step 1:
Outline the rationale, the key factors of why the company must evolve in order to meet current and future challenges. What is driving the need for change?
Step 2:
A checklist that your team will use to ensure that the change strategy is deliberate and conducted in a sequential order (10-12 points i.e. management meeting, employee communication, training plans, etc.). This is submitted in chart format. Consider which model you are using to creating a checklist.
Step 3:
What is a workforce training plan for the scenario. Frame your plan using the 3- step model.
