The business has 375 employees, most of whom have been with the company for nearly 25 years or less than five. Retirements are now happening quickly and you are having a hard time finding replacement employees. The need to rescale the company to align with the global marketplace is imminent. You have been tasked by the vice president of operations to map out a comprehensive HR strategy that supports three key business objectives

1) sales growth

2) employee productivity

3) organizational culture.

In your former role before the merger, you conducted planning checklists, mentorship and coaching programs, implemented an HRIS and stewarded the merger of two companies, including the downsizing of more than 100 people through retirements and layoffs. 

 

Your company is doing well in sales, but productivity and organizational culture are less than ideal. You and your team decide that you require a unified HR planning framework to bring people together, upscale attitudes and drive toward success. 

 

For Preparation: 

 

 

1. Draft a one page, rough timeline of how and when you propose to implement the missing pieces of your plan. 
2. Summarize your plan in a succinct critical path with key milestones and deliverables in one page, in bulleted format.
