You are the director of HR at General Appliances (GA), located in Detroit, Michigan. Since 2014, the company has experienced consistent growth and added about 10 factory worker jobs per year, for a total of 300 factory workers. GA anticipates a similar pattern of growth, adding approximately 10 factory worker jobs next year. GA is faced with a tough predicament. Of the 300 factory workers, 100 of them are over the age of 60. Typically, GA loses about 30 factory workers per year due to regular turnover or internal promotions, but GA anticipates having about 50 workers leave this year due to regular turnover, promotions, plus a greater number of retirements. GA worries, what if too many of their long-term employees retire within a few months of each other? Would GA be able to recruit enough people to fill the void? And even if they could, what skills gaps would they face by allowing such a large number of new employees to work with little experience? GA knows that the best companies treat employees well because they have the knowledge, skills and abilities to get the job done. GA is one of those companies. GENERAL APPLIANCES' HISTORY.
