Hello HRM friends.
I have read and commented on all of this afternoon's online class blog posts. I pose questions to most of you in my comments. Please take a few minutes to read and consider them.
The questions I pose are rhetorical (you don't need to reply), but I do encourage you to think about how you would reply if you had to. Most of my questions have to do with specifically linking the HRM practices you identify from your personal experience to your company's strategy. How do the HRM practices you identify help build an execution-capable organization (or not)? To answer this, you'll first need to consider the company's strategy. Which of the four generic strategies is the company pursuing?
Making this connection is not always easy; the connection between a company's actual HRM practices and their business strategy may not be readily apparent. And that's the point. Good companies that are setting themselves up for long-term sustainability will align their HRM practices with their company strategy; in other companies a lack of alignment may be the order of the day.
Considering this question now in the context of today's class will prepare you for one of the early tasks in your HRM case study assignment, which we will coincidentally be launching on Monday. Please read the assignment before class on Monday and come prepared with questions.
Until then, enjoy the weekend!
