As a human resource manager, I will try to convince my top management that I should be heavily involve in the company’s strategic planning process. As I can leave a favorable and positive impact on company’s bottom line. From conducting recruitment to employee development, training and retention strategies HRM plays a vital role in providing data-driven solution and contribution in achieving overall business goal of an organization (Entrepreneur, 2015). The potential of bottom line improvement can be brought up with the help of me in various areas as apart from finding an appropriate, suitable and competent employee I can perform several functions like performance assessment, succession planning, career pathing and identifying talent acquisition software that can make a company successful (Fastcompany, 2015). I can suggest ways, which gives top management reason to involve me in strategic planning process of company. Here are the reasons:
By keeping the above points, I can try to convince my top-level management to involve me in the company’s strategic planning process. This will be beneficial for the progress and growth of the company.
Based on incident 6.1
1. No recruiting is not a problem in Powermat, Inc. The decision of making recruitment is the main problem because they are not satisfied with their internally recruited employees and those employees who are externally recruited and well qualified opt to quit the organization after some time. As after a thorough reading of incident 6.1 a conclusion can be derived that earlier the process of recruitment of the company was internal from among the middle- level management employees but it was experienced that they were not able to discharge their duties effectively due to lack of necessary skills. Later on, the company opts for external recruitment and hired some persons for their lower level management positions to prepare them for middle level positions. However, within two months all the externally recruited employees left their job (Billsberry, 2008). The problem of recruitment decision is because when the organization is opting for internal recruitment then it is not satisfied with its employees because they lacks in the required skills and if company goes for external recruitment process then the employees they are employing are not loyal towards organization and leaves the job after a certain period of time.
2. As a consultant I would strongly recommend that in case if the company is recruiting the internal employees and feel that they lack skills and qualities, which are needed to discharge their duties the company should first identify and examine the skills and abilities in which their employee is lacking. After a proper examination being done they should give focus on improving the skills and abilities in which their employee is lacking or lagging behind. Proper and professional training, developmental programme, coaching, mentoring, cross-departmental training, and positive motivation should be given to them so that they can provide their best to the company. In addition, they should be making aware about changes taking place in an organization, make sure their employees are not overloaded with work as this can also adversely affect their skills and provide them thoughtful and meaningful feedback about their work on regular basis. A positive feedback about their work will help to motivate employees to work more efficiently than before and negative feedback will compel them to improve their quality of work. In case if the company were interested in external recruiting process then being a consultant I would recommend that, they should give lucrative and attractive offer, generate a sense of job satisfaction, security and effective training and guidance by professional to the newly recruited employees so that they can gain skills and may not opt to change their job because frequent resignation by employees from job may lead to instability in the working of the organization (Gary, 2010).
Based On Incident 14.1
1. Jim must be satisfied with his current raise, as majority of raises lies between 4% to 10% and 10% of the base salary is the maximum raise allowed in the appraisal system and he has earned maximum of it. He has earned the maximum percentage raise i.e. 10% just because of his potential, ability, productivity, quality, and quantity of work done by him. This maximum raise has given him internal satisfaction and positive motivation to perform in a best way to earn maximum raise that is prevailing and allowed in the system. If Jim does not give his best or has not given his full efforts towards his banking sector organization then he may not have received the highest percentage raise. As there may be many managers who must be lying between the bracket of 4% to 9% of the base salary. However, he is the one out of them who got 10 % of the base salary. He must be satisfied with his raise and efforts used by him.
2. No banks are currently not offering adequate sales incentive to its branch managers. However, it is essential to offer adequate and reasonable sales incentive in order to motivate branch managers. The incentive that a bank must offer to its branch manager should be according to their potential, productivity, ability, and contribution to sales done by them. They should be provided with the best incentive that they deserve to be as appropriate sales incentive helps to motivate branch managers. It is important to revise sales incentive policy to lure its branch managers. In case if the appraisal system does not allow them to do so or they are not under position to give monetary sales incentive beyond a certain limit then branch managers should be given non-monetary sales incentive. Non-monetary sales incentives includes flexibility in working hours, on the spot recognition, privilege such as giving free lunch in office, pick and drop facility, accommodation provided by office, meal passes, health insurance policy, and many more. These kinds of non-monetary benefits will also lure and help a branch manager to be loyal with the organization and motivate them to increase sales of the organization (Fisher, 2015). It is important for an organization to reward good performance of their branch managers. If they do not so do then the respective branch manager may feel demotivated and will not show his full efforts and energy towards achieving sales goal.
