description The aim of this activity is to: • Understand and explain the contextual environment that impacts HRM in your organisation or a company of your choice. NB: The company you choose may be your employer or any other company of which you have sufficient information to enable the task to be completed. • Examine and explain the rationale for moving HRM in your organisation, or a company of your choice, to a strategic focus (or improved strategic focus). • Create a high level* HR plan. This plan will also include your recommended strategies to develop or improve a SHRM approach. (* high level indicates enough detail to understand how to proceed to implement the plan but not to a detailed task level). Each of the following key steps and components should be included in the HR plan: a. Identification of company strategic objectives b. Identification of the potential HR implications of the strategic objectives (select two or three key strategic objectives to focus on if word limits are an issue) c. Recommendation of specific HR strategies to address the HR implications (provide reasons for your chosen strategies) d. Critical success factors (CSFs) need to be identified for the recommendations above, i.e. what needs to be in place to enable success and how will progress/success be measured? Note: Ensure you align the CSFs with each of the specific strategies. It is strongly recommended that the high level action plan be presented in a table form with headings addressing points a-d above.
