Individual Case Study

Synopsis

Mark Swann, the director of human resources at General Appliances, needs to develop a staffing strategy due to the growth of the company, as well as the impending retirement of a large portion of its aging workforce. Swann has two specific concerns: (1) recruiting additional assembly line employees, and (2) retaining his current workers in order to avoid a staffing shortage. He has hired you as a consultant to assist him in formulating a plan.

Requirements

Your report for the case study must include the following sections:

• Cover Page
• Overview - Summarize the case scenario (one or two paragraphs)
• Discussion Questions - Answer the discussion questions listed below

1. The job satisfaction rate at General Appliances is much higher than the national average. What role does this culture play at the company, and how might it be an advantage during the recruitment process?

2. Which recruitment strategy would you recommend to Swann: open or targeted? Explain your reasoning, and the advantages of your approach.

3. Evaluate the recruiting sources outlined in Exhibit 5.9 on page 248 of your textbook. If you could only pick one, which source do you think would be most appropriate to utilize in this case? Why? What is the potential impact on HR?

4. Swann wants to take an analytical approach to tackle the potential staffing shortage. Since Chapter 3 of your textbook covered HR forecasting, you know there are three primary methodologies: (1) manager judgement, (2) Markov Analysis, and (3) replacement and succession planning. Which one of these three approaches would you recommend to Swann, and why? What are some possible limitations of your recommended methodology?

5. General Appliances has fostered a culture that values employees, and Swann wants to build upon that. With this in mind, what tactics might he use to retain aging employees at the company?
