Written Paper on Strategic Human Resource Management (12 hr Deadline!!)

Due: 6th Feb 2020 In preparation for this assessment, read the following article: Tucker, E 2019, ‘How to modernize workforce planning’, People & Strategy, vol. 42, no. 4, pp. 14-19. (I will send the attached article separately as you will not have access). For every organisation to thrive in a highly competitive environment, key human capital is a strategic imperative. As exemplified in the success stories of organisations like Cisco, Marriott, Microsoft and Google to maintain a competitive edge in the market, it is important that organisations are continuously striving to recruit, grow, deploy, optimise and retain employees. One of the ways successful organisations do this is through strategic workforce planning. This assessment requires you to conduct a strategic workforce planning exercise to meet the future demands for your organisation (or any organisation you are familiar with). You are required to develop a systematic process of strategic workforce planning based on a detailed environmental scan, labour demand forecasting, labour supply analysis, and balancing demand and supply to meet the current and future staffing needs of your organisation (or any organisation you are familiar with). You are required to begin with a brief introduction to your chosen organisation and industry. This assessment task is designed to allow you to apply appropriate strategic workforce planning concepts from the subject theory to a real-world organisation. As workforce planning is a key strategic concept in this subject, this assessment will enable you to critically think about the current and future challenges that organisations may face in relation to ensuring an optimal workforce. Engaging in strategic workforce planning analysis is likely to give you a competitive edge in your current or future workplace to be better prepared to deal with the changing nature of the global workforce.
