Strategic Staffing Plan to Human esources
Today there is a high need for recruitment of staff for nuclear power plants. It is not that new plants are being built, and there are now laws against building new nuclear power plants, but, the nuclear electrical energy is now facing a great challenge for the future. This is further realized from a new survey done by the Nuclear Energy Institute and that reinforces the compulsion for these efforts as there some 26,000 workers in the industry who will leave their jobs and of them 16,000 will leave due to retirement and another 10,000 will be just lost to other industries. (Staffing Up: Industry Addresses Challenges to Build Future WorkForce) The recruitment that we are talking about is a person with knowledge about nuclear engineering is thus a person in demand now.

Staffing Strategy
There are several key things that Chern's has to address when developing a successful staffing strategy.

The Chern’s Case Study
Chern’s is an upscale departmental store that was founded more than 20 years ago by Ryan and Ann Chern as a shoe and handbag retailer.

Type of employment relationship between the coffee shop and employees from a legal perspective
The success of any organization depends on the relationship it has with its employees. A cordial relationship where employees feel that they are respected by the management is a recipe for success. I will put this aspect into consideration when establishing a relationship with my employees in the coffee shop. While striving for success, I will ensure that employees are aware of their rights and those, which must be upheld at all times. Employees performing beyond the expectations of the management will also be rewarded accordingly. All actions relating to employee appraisal and rewards must be done in accordance with the law. It is important to keep in mind that some actions may be considered as bribes, yet they might be bonuses or rewards to employees for exemplary work. This…

This would be used in determining whether the prevailing employee abilities are related with their prevailing job performance based on the measurements of the criterion scores. In case of a high correlation, it concludes that there is a high validity of the concurrent criterion. This suggests that the identified abilities have measured the performance abilities on tasks that require the decision makers to measure.
For the content validity to be interpreted, a job analysis must be done, and the requirement matrix to be developed. Then interpreting the content validity would then become a judgmental procedure where organizational or external experts.

Staffing Strategy
For a company like Widget-Maker, what should be the staffing strategy?
Staffing Trends
A business will need to produce a labour demand forecast and for that it adds up the past average turnover rate per annum, the estimated retiring labour, the skills which may become obsolete and any new jobs that may be introduced. Then subtract from it the present number of employees that may fill the vacancies through training etc. and the result you get is known as gap analysis. With the help of this figure, a business can derive a staffing strategy through a proactive approach.
Succession Planning
In order to fill sudden vacancies in the staff, the best solution is to have employees who'd be capable of learning the new skills and taking the new job. This is the quickest method and is better than having to recruit someone from outside the business.

Strategic Management in Business Development
The term "strategic planning" is generally used in the narrow sense, namely the application of management tools to address areas such as, profitability, efficiency, growth and competitive advantage. Ultimately, to address concerns of stakeholders for increase shareholder value and long-term competitiveness.
Business development is at the heart of strategic thinking and needs imagination and innovation. It should be proactive and anticipatory. It involves the creation of a unique configuration of the company's key features, which will match the challenges of its environment and provides strategic advantage. There are two distinct phases:
The option generation phase, where creativity must be allowed to flourish and diverse ideas emerge.
The option selection phase, where the options are narrowed down through a systematic filtering process.
The process is often iterative with multiple cycles occurring through the two phases.
In the first phase the strategic management team works with the…

If the question is left unaddressed, this would result in increasing dissatisfaction among customers and staff, and a possible loss of library patrons.
Another strategic issues is the shift to the central purchasing of books. This policy entailed the decision to move the book buying capability to the Service Center in order to implement the goal of a more in-depth and sophisticated level of collections. This was implemented without consulting with the branch managers, who were directly affected by the decision. From the viewpoint of patrons, this new policy would indeed create a better selection of materials to better serve their needs by means of greater diversity and avoiding duplication. However, this created a large amount of resentment among librarians, who regarded this duty as one of their favorite responsibilities that directly utilized their skills as librarians.
If left unaddressed, this issue could severely impact the job satisfaction of librarians,…
Strategic Human Resource Management
Human resource management has always been an important part of the organizational planning and strategy but over the past few years, its role has shifted from purely traditionalist to more strategic and hence the sudden surge in the use of the term "Strategic HRM." Strategic management of human resource is not just hogwash because the change has been important as focus shifted from laws and regulations to people. raditionally Human resource managers like myself were mostly involved with the job of making sure that organization was complying with various rules, regulations and laws. But when the strategic alignment was introduced, we moved to more important and critical component of organization i.e. its people. By aligning people's needs with goals of the company, it was believed that we could get better results at lower costs and hence the need for integration of needs with goals was stressed.…
The document chronicles the improvement in turnover situation since 2007. In 2007, we had a reasonably high turnover rate of 15% annually. Though some would say that 15% was not something to worry about, it must be noted that we are a small organization and 15% for us means thousands of wasted dollars in recruitment and training. We need to control this turnover rate in order to able to become more cost efficient and also improve employee morale and productivity. We first identified the most common reasons for an employee to leave the organization within first two years of joining. We identified the problem areas and worked on them by paying closer attention to what employees needed and how it all could be changed so employees' grievances were effectively addressed and all necessary steps were taken to make them feel important and to give them a sense of ownership in the organization. These measures worked and last year we had only a 4% turnover rate which was a major improvement and we are consistently working to maintain and even lower the existing turnover rate.
Financial Gains:
The organization was doing well in 2007 as well but lately the financial health has improved significantly due to cost effectiveness that we have achieved through lower turnover and higher employee productivity. In the third quarter of 2007, the company reported profits amounting to $1.5 million and last year, we reported profits in the neighborhood of $2.2 million. The company attributes this success to effective strategic alignment of employee needs and company goals and we are very proud of our achievements since adorning this new role.

The National section of the October 21, 2005 edition of The New York Times has good news for the 200,000 Americans who undergo carotid-clearing surgery each year and the financing of such procedures for the Beth Israel Medical Center. Now, the once-complicated cleaning procedure that could only be performed by the most skilled physicians has become made easier, less invasive, and safer with the ability for physicians to use stents during the operations. Stents are metal cylinders used to prop open blood vessels to keep the vessels from closing again during surgery, after blockages have initially been cleared. Research indicates that the neck stenting, an emerging alternative to more invasive surgery to reduce stroke risks for patients with clogged carotid arteries, is technically less challenging in most cases than had been assumed.
Regulators originally approved marketing the stents only to a high-risk population who could not undergo normal surgery without great risk. Currently, Medicare is covering fewer than ten percent of these individuals undergoing the procedures with the use of stents. However, the new research is likely to spur an increase in aid to the population most at risk for clogged arteries, for both patients who must undergo stenting and now, patients who are not high surgical risks, but do not wish to endure the more invasive procedure without the use of stents.
The short-term financial implications for Beth Israel are initially, of course, that more patients will have Medicare coverage for the use stenting during carotid-cleaning surgery. There are other positive implications, too for the hospital over the long-term. In terms of staffing, as skill is less of a premium in stenting than previously thought, more physicians, and younger, training physicians can perform the procedure. This will free up the schedules of more skilled surgeons for other, more technically demanding operations. The procedure will also be able to be performed more frequently, as more physicians can accomplish it, thus enabling Beth Israel to expand the use of the surgery. As it is safer and less invasive, the surgery long run it may require less insurance for the hospital. One day, perhaps residents can perform this procedure, as well as the most skilled physicians, and the use of stenting during carotid-cleaning surgery could be incorporated into the training regime of new doctors. Regardless, new interest in the surgery and the hospital's more frequent ability to perform the surgery will open up funding from organizations that deal with nutrition, heart health, and other organizations that advocate the use of surgery as well as other means to reduce stroke risks for patients with clogged carotid arteries - the arteries in the neck that carry blood to the brain.
While emerging evidence, theory and practical demands are increasing the visibility and credibility of human capital as a key to organizational success, the measures used to articulate the impact of human resource management decisions remain misunderstood, unwanted by key constituents or even counter-productive."

Lukacs, RN, asserts (Lukacs, 1984, p. 11). So, with those issues clearly on the table (as they are today in many hospitals), strategic planning in hospitals offers nursing directors a direct path to increased effectiveness, Lukacs explains. The way for nurses to get in on the strategic planning movement and increase their clout and effectiveness within the hospital structure, Lukacs explains, is to do the research necessary that matches patient / client needs and preferences "with specific provider strengths and competencies" (p. 12). Doing that research and making certain that those data and narrative get into the strategic plan is paramount to upgrading their departments, Lukacs goes on. "Knowledge of user needs must be accompanied by free and direct communication with the public," Lukacs reminds. She goes on, insisting that nurse executives "…carefully review and contribute to information upon which institutional plans are based…in order to identify implications for nursing…

Staffing at Piedmont Airlines
Finding solutions at Piedmont Airlines
Overview of Organization
Piedmont Airlines is a fully owned subsidiary of U.S. Airways. U.S. Airways is the 6th largest airline in the United States (Piedmont Airlines, Inc., 2011). Piedmont flies 440 daily departures to 55 cities throughout the Eastern United States and Canada. They operate 44 DeHaviland DHC-8 Turbo prop aircraft as their primary fleet. The headquarters is based in Salisbury, Maryland. They employ nearly 4000 aviation professionals (Piedmont Airlines, Inc., 2011).
Like many organizations, Piedmont is facing problems with employee morale. Low employee morale is closely linked to high turnover rates in many organizations. Low morale also leads to low productivity. Employee satisfaction is one of the most important factors in maintaining an experienced workforce. Poor morale leads to excessive employee absences and a higher absence rate (CCH, 2007). This costs the company money and lost time. It also has…

In an organizational setting, strategy has always been more of a high stakes game where the management team identifies the company's mission and makes important decisions that focus all the company's capital, resources, and energy towards its attainment.

Strategic Planning Management Health Systems
Two financial metrics that can be used to understand an organization's financial capabilities for strategic initiatives are the OI metrics and OA? The OI metrics address two measures which are resource investments and financial returns (Bloom, 2010). OI metrics contribute innovation management financial discipline and aid in protect and recognizing the worth of strategic initiatives, programs and the whole investment in modernization. Companies with extremely effective and well-organized marketing show much better levels of measurement aptitudes, with approximately half to three-quarters offering positive scores on their capabilities -- which is normally two to three times the levels described from the complete base of marketers (Cave, 2007). The capability to measure marketing performance and enhance the distribution of their marketing budget obviously allows these companies to accomplish and deliver more operational and well-organized marketing. There is a strong correlation among marketing efficiency and competence and the…

Staffing Plan
Comprehensive Staffing Plan
Engineering and manufacturing requires many individuals who are adept at skilled labor. Additionally, there are unskilled laborers who can also be of use to a company that engineers and manufacturers goods. In a city such as this one, however, there are large challenges, such as a lack of a skilled workforce and many people who are on public assistance. College graduates and professionals are not that common, because many of them leave and move to others areas where high-tech hubs can be found. While the company in question here cannot focus its efforts on stopping that tide of workers who are leaving, there are ways in which it can reach out to and recruit people who have the skills - or are developing the skills - for which the company is looking.

Strategic HM
Strategic ole of H
In most companies today, the H function provides vital services to such stakeholders as job applicants, workers, supervisors, middle managers, and executives. Yet, the H function tends to be located at the end of the business chain, on the reactive side, and too frequently centers on carrying out actions rather than achieving outcomes. The role of the H function is frequently one of providing people, training, and secluded H efforts after others have formulated organizational strategy and have initiated operational accomplishment. Since the 1990's, H practitioners have been motivated by events in their organizations to direct concentration to such issues as downsizing, outplacement, retraining, diversity, worker rights, technological effects on people, and recruitment of skilled talent in a time of labor deficiencies and record employment. Cost centered management of worker benefits programs such as health insurance, workers' compensation, and pension plans have…

Strategic Planning- Tourism Strategic Plan Lewis-Clark Valley
Lewis-Clark Valley is the beautiful site of Lewiston, Idaho and Clarkston, Washington. The historical background of this valley is rich in cultural stories and its own heritage that dated back in some 18th century. The area has been land of Nez Perce Indians who had travelled to this valley and lived long in the land and rivers. The valley is so named because in the 1805, the Corps of discovery explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark visited this place and was welcomed by the native people. This meeting and warm welcome has developed good relations with the land and its people thus named it after their second names. Lewis-Clark Valley is the land of miners, merchants, railroaders, millworkers and farmers. Its geographical location is somewhere 465 miles from the Pacific Ocean at the convergence of the Snake and Clearwater ivers.

Strategic Information Systems'?
A strategic information system is a system that enables an organisation to alter the structure of its business strategy so that it can achieve a competitive advantage over others. This system also helps organisations in fastening the time it takes to react and adapt to several environmental changes that take place and makes the overall business structure more efficient. Within a strategic information system there exists a decision support system that helps align business goals and strategies with information systems and technologies.

Organisations are increasingly dependent upon it systems and infrastructure and eventually subjected to many risks, so business is inherently risky. How long can your organisation afford system downtime? How long does it take to recover a disaster; and, what does it cost? These kinds of questions are the ones that have to be addressed for BCPs. Also important, however, is using strategic planning to look toward the future and determine where a business wants to be at a specific point, so that plans to…

The marketing plan is critical as well. Heavy Henry's Hogs is built around the concept of a destination restaurant, so word-of-mouth is expected, but there are a number of tactics that go into building word of mouth. The launch strategy will have a number of tactics, including promotions, building the celebrity level of the chef, and the strategy for entering and winning barbeque contests nationwide. The strategy should also incorporate the different advertising that will be done to promote these successes and introduce the restaurant to a broad area. The marketing strategy is critical because poorly conceived marketing can cost a lot of money, fail to reach the target market or both. A successful strategy will reach the target market for little money. Minimizing startup costs is important.
All of these tactics have measures that can be used. The first measure is the number of awards that the barbeque wins…

Economic: According an April 2004 American Pet Products Manufacturers Association, Inc.

That's a small portion of the more than $34 billion they will spend on all classes of pet care and product spending in 2004. The same APPMA news release reports that consumer spending on pet products has doubled from $17 billion to a projected $34 billion since 1994 when the APPMA first began tracking pet industry statistics.

Airline Industry after the 9/11/2001 Terrorist Attacks
Airlines in the United States have a long, complicated history in terms of management strategy that includes alterations due to technological advances, bankruptcies, economic downturns, deregulation and even presidential intervention, but none of these forces had the power to both destroy and restructure the industry like the events of September 11, 2001.
The 9/11/01 attacks on the United States fundamentally altered the way the U.S. airline industry operated both publically and internally. One area that suffered significantly from these attacks, and brought about the need for major overhaul within the industry itself was strategic management strategies and practices within the airline industry in its entirety. The 9/11 attacks on America brought about the need for immediate change in…

Leadership-Level Implementation of Strategic Plan
Good leadership is a key aspect of project management. Leading a project requires working with the manager and other staff drawn from the project's functional areas. It is not accurate to say that a leader only influences the subordinates under him. esponsibilities of a leader can go either vertically or horizontally. An effective leader will not only lead the subordinates under him or her, but also all the people involved in the project including those who are his seniors. A leadership model referred to as 3D model has been fronted by various players and promotes team leadership, self-leadership as well as teamwork that is leadership oriented. Effective leadership takes the ability to spot opportunities to improve a project and also execute on the project improvement. Besides the existing good personal traits, the style of leadership can be modeled through experience, training as well as dedication.…

Strategic human resource management:
Applications in a healthcare organization
It has been said that one of the great ironies of healthcare is that despite the fact it is an industry where the 'human' dimension is so important, the H department is often one of the most-overlooked aspects of healthcare organizations. "There is arguably no other labor-intensive industry that is so reliant upon a highly skilled, highly educated, high-cost, and high-in-demand workforce that literally makes life-or-death decisions every day. And yet, in many hospitals and health systems H remains an afterthought in the C-suite" (Commins 2013:1). However, the need for change is constant, and many organizations are finding they must 'adapt or die,' given the new realities they are facing. "by the federal healthcare law, the inevitable and growing shortages of skilled healthcare professionals, and the newfound and measurable importance of patient satisfaction scores for reimbursements will prompt…

From the individual's point-of-view, this requires constant learning and updating and so many people steer away from this industry. "In the U.S., the number of students choosing computing science as a major between 2000 and 2004 declined by 60%. With respect to demand, an additional 1.5 million jobs will become available in computing in the U.S. By 2012." (McKeen, Smith & Jin, 2009;p.2). Another reason is the demographics; more people are aging and they are less suitable to meet the needs of the it industry.
In the light of these challenges, a company has to take many measures to be successful.

For any large-scale software implementation project to succeed there must be a galvanizing objective that unifies those inside and outside the organization to a common vision and goal. For the esire2Learn initiative, the communication, collaboration and continued support from outside the school district are just as critical as the need for support from individual schools, their principals and teachers. In setting the objective of upgrading classrooms to get the full benefit from the 2L learning management system, the project leaders will need to create a strong sense of ownership and support for positive outcomes across the district's entire ecosystem. The most important aspect of a project leader's role is to create and continually fuel high levels of authenticity, transparency and especially trust through and between project teams, including those outside the…
Defining and Managing Roles Critical to Project Success
Ensuring that the project succeeds within the school district requires that both the Chief Information Officer (CIO) and Director of IT take leadership roles and provide guidance on the piloting, program management and project lifecycle management of the D2L system implementation. Both the CIO and Director of IT form a vital catalyst from a change management perspective as well, as entire organizations will more readily adopt to change when they see their leaders supporting a new strategic initiative or program (Sommerville, Craig, Hendry, 2010). The entire school district will see the D2L learning management system as worth investing their time and effort to learn and make successful with the CIO and Director of IT first endorsing the program and showing support. This also puts significant political support behind the D2L learning management system implementation as well, and that alone will solve many potential roadblocks to its success. The most critical element of success for any IT implementation is the support of the senior management team, and their combined efforts to reduce resistance to change through effective, clear communication that highlights the benefits of a new system or plan initiative (Peterson, 2010). The project leader must work closely with these two members of the school district's senior management team to ensure there is absolute support and continual reinforcement of the need for the D2L learning management system district-wide. The most effective project managers regularly meet with and gain support for their senior management team in explaining and illustrating the benefits of the new systems and programs being deployed (Anantatmula, 2010).
The implementation team also needs to include representatives from accounting, finance, the superintendent of the district, their staff, principals, learning program directors, the IT staff and teachers. All of these roles within the district have a vital role in the implementation of the D2L learning management system as each will be responsible for an aspect of the change management program, technology implementation, training, and daily value the system delivers in the form of specialized training. In addition to these team members throughout the district, the project leader must also coordinate each phase of the project plan with the professional services team from D2L, their configuration specialists, and the training specialists too.

In some cases, such staffing agencies provide suitable candidates for companies on a temporary basis, while in others candidates are provided for consideration for permanent employment; some agencies provide both temporary and permanent placements as well.

The healthcare system has seen various changes over the decades with the aim of making the care more efficient and quality to the citizens. One of the most important changes is the Patient Protection and Affordable Care (PPAC) which has significantly changed the demand for healthcare professionals and the vacancies they have as well as the hiring and staffing practices by the healthcare organizations. These changes occasioned by the PPAC have various tenets and also implications that come with them especially for the healthcare sector in the future.
The PPAC has resulted in the rising of the nurse practitioner and the physician assistant roles within the healthcare system. This has made many healthcare organizations to focus more on the team approaches to providing care which is geared towards employing more nursing practitioners and physician assistants who will help in providing care to the aging population.

HRM
There are a number of challenges facing human resource departments today. Key trends such as increasing diversity, skills deficiencies, and an aging workforce each affect the environment in which HRM managers work. Further, HRM consists of many different functions, each governed by its own laws and regulations. Today's human resource manager must work in the context of these different functions to deliver a coherent human resources strategy that meets the needs of the organization. That means not just hiring people, but setting out a full slate of HRM policies that allow those people to be at their most productive, and make the greatest contribution possible to the strategic mission of the organization (SHRM.org, 2016).
Key Functional Areas

INTOUCTION
It was after the Korean War that an entirely new breed of college educated managers appeared on the scene and exuded a greater sense of responsibility that translated into a wave of consciousness for social well-being and social upheaval that swarmed through the second half of the 20th century (Losey 1998). Their influence markedly changed the thought of the American employee. But another group in the 60s and the 70s heightened the established interest in laborers welfare and feelings to the point of affecting all facets of business, including the growth of market research, communications and public relations. This second wave shifted focus from scientific management to the employer-employee relationship. The new gear led to the development of programs that increased wages and fringed benefits and the eliciting of worker ideas and initiative in recognizing the link organizational philosophy or policy to greater productivity (Losey).…

H Strategic Plan
Explain human resource practices and functions and their relevance to a H Strategic Plan
Human resource functions are considerably dissimilar from human resource practices. In particular, functions comprise of transactional activities that can be taken care of in-house or dealt with through outsourcing. On the other hand, practices are half-conceptual, half-execution part of a human resource strategy, made up of systems that follow the normal or traditional way of undertaking business. The human resource functions and practices play a significant role and have great relevance to a human resource strategic plan (Mayhew, 2016). This is largely because, the human resource best practices are the systems encompassed within the H strategic plan that have the biggest impact not only on the workforce but the overall functioning of the organization and the future direction. H functions take into account different aspects such as administration of benefits, keeping of records…

Several decades later in 2002, the Academy expanded its policy statement on the concept, making it more comprehensive, accessible, compassionate and culturally-effective. The new policy also changed the focus of medical home from the child to the family. The ACP (American College of Physicians) and the AAFP (American Academy of Family Physicians) have also developed their own patient-care models which they refer to as "advanced medical home" and "medical home," respectively (PCPCC, 2007).
Many health care experts agree that the basic components of medical home definition include…

Warehouse Supervisor Recruitment Plan
As Amazon is set to hire 5000 new warehouse workers, the organization seeks an experienced warehouse supervisor. Amazon is increasing staffing at its warehouses and fulfilment centers to improve service delivery and expand same-day or next-day delivery for customers in select areas (Isidore, 2013). A warehouse supervisor is a multifaceted position that includes managerial functions, strategic operations, budgeting and inventory management, and strong organizational skills. This recruiting and staffing strategy covers the steps Amazon will take to ensure compliance with legal and ethical guidelines. The thesis is that Amazon should use standard recruiting and selection techniques to comply with ethical and legal obligations and to promote the best interests of the organization.
Legal Considerations
Recruitment and staffing strategies must comply with local, state, and federal regulations related to non-discrimination and other federal employment laws governed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. When designing the job description…

SOCIAL CONTRACT
The work of Edward M. Rizzo and Leslie a. Worsley entitled; "Emerging Technologies and the Internet Enable Today's E-Workforce" states that with the changes occurring in today's workforce "management requires a new way of thinking. The tools driving organizational effectiveness shave changed drastically in recent years in order to meet the needs of an ever-evolving workforce." (2001) a larger percent of the workforce is comprised of professional employees whom are "more mobile, and there is a growing dependence on temporary or contract employees to ensure adequate staffing levels." (Rizzo and Worsley, 2001) Rizzo and Worsley state that to this end more and more employers are depending on emergent technologies in facing staffing challenges including the Internet. While "traditional businesses have…

H planning: defining the organization's strategic plan, conducting an external scan of the environment; conducting an internal assessment of the organization's labor resources; forecasting future workforce demand, forecasting workforce supply, and then developing "programs, policies and practices to align workforce supply and demand" to achieve company objectives (Carroll 2009). Objectives must be realistic in nature, and reflect the most likely future employment scenario. In some instances, several different possible future scenarios may be forecasted, and contingency planning is wise for a variety of potential situations. Potential labor shortages and surpluses must be determined, and then a staffing plan can be developed, creating the optimal balance between core, permanent staff and flexible staff (temporary employees and independent contractors) (Heneman & Judd 2023).

SWOT Analysis and Portfolio Analysis
Every organization must have a business strategy. The main goal of any business is to be profitable. Companies adapt strategies that will separate them from the competitors, creating success for the organization. It is important that the leaders of any company understand the operation, the strategies, the motto, the goal and every other aspect of the business. Metropolitan Life Insurance (Metlife) is global insurance provider, which is a publicly traded company. This is a big corporation that is viewed publicly daily. The leaders of this organization would benefit from both a SWOT analysis and a Portfolio Analysis.
SWOT Analysis
One of the biggest strengths that MetLife has to offer today is the brand. MetLife brand is a known brand and recognizable brand. The company has been around for over 140 years and operates in over 60 countries (Metlife, 2010). The company is known for selling…

This will help Tanglewood to continue in its culture of placing value in the employees and also ensuring the employees are a family.
Active or passive diversity.
A diverse workforce is beneficial for any company. However, the critical question that arises is whether the workforce should understand the local needs of the company, the patterns of demand, expectations of customers and the company culture. A passive workforce would work best for Tanglewood since it would help them to keep the close relationship between the employees to make them remain like a family.
Conclusion
Since Tanglewood needs to expand, the company management needs to understand their human resource needs and how the organization needs to motivate their employees in order to keep the staff turnover rate low. Tanglewood will benefit greatly from implementing the strategic staffing decisions proposed in this report since they will be able to run their human resource…

company I work in to improve its overall production levels and to be able to satisfy requirements associated with its new contract, it would have to experience a significant reorganizing process. While people who are going to be hired are important and while it is essential for the company to make sure it employs the best individuals available, the firm also needs to concentrate on providing current employees with the support they need to do their jobs more efficiently.
One of the first concepts that a human resources manager would likely consider in a situation similar to the one that my company is in would be a short-term staffing process. Considering that this is the company's first time working in a project of this magnitude, it is certainly important to consider the risks involved. Although there is a possibility for the company to develop long-term relations with diverse agencies throughout…
g. In U.K.), organizations are tempted to use positive discrimination for corresponding to contemporary requirements. This implies hiring disadvantaged applicants regardless of their professional competency. For instance, last year, UK's Gloucestershire Police and Avon and Somerset police confessed to have rejected white men for hiring women and ethnic minorities in order to meet Government requirements (http://www.workplacelaw.net/display.php?resource_id=8292&keywords).This is an extremely negative phenomenon as it succeeds in increasing the gap among different groups. Therefore, when encouraging such a strategy, authorities should pinpoint the rationale behind it and should organize conferences and workshops debating this issue.

Staffing
Heneman and Judge (2005) define staffing as "the process of acquiring, deploying, and retaining a workforce of sufficient quantity and quality to create positive impacts on the organization's effectiveness." When it comes to the fertility clinic that is the object of this planning paper, creating and deploying the required workforce is particularly important, given the specificity of the activity.
Three categories of human resource needed at the clinic can be identified: specialized medical personnel (primarily fertility physicians), auxiliary personnel (including management and administrative) and additional specialists, such as psychologists. The first part of this paper will aim to briefly define some of the most important positions in the organizational chart.
Since this is a fertility clinic, the medical staff is an essential component of the workforce, and as research showed, the laboratory part is fundamental. The embryology and andrology department will be led by a scientific director, with at…

Strategic Planning Challenges and Improvement
Strategic Planning, Challenges, and Improvement
Strategic planning refers to processes that substantiate the enterprise vision and mission. Strategic plans are frequently well crafted to offer value through a driving force for the consideration in the external and internal business environments. The facilitation of business managers provides a communication channel for all stakeholders of activity within and without the company. The main issues to be addressed coupled with strategic goals are specified towards the planning of groups, staffs, and consultants while focusing on the SWOT results and environmental scans. Strategic planning identifies changes within the current strategies within which there are requirements for reaching the goals and addressing the issues (Cooperrider, Barrett, & Srivastva, 1995). This means the identification of potential new strategies and suggesting changes to emphasize on priority. The presentation of performance requires the inclusion of the key staff for decisions and discussion.
