A close friend of yours, has started a large technology company that continues to grow. Given your HR knowledge and expertise, specifically gained throughout HRM300, your friend has asked you to join her venture as a Human Resource Manager. While you were initially a bit nervous about this change in career trajectory, you are confident that this will be a great experience. Your first week working in the HR Department was interesting… You immediately learn of some issues that are concerning. Specifically, these issues include: High turnover rates, especially among lower-level employees. Note: Despite the fact that the company has only been operating for nine months, 75% of employees have left the organization within five months of their initial hire date. Issues attracting quality candidates. Note: The company has solicited help from professionals at Indeed, LinkedIn, and ZipRecruiter, but they still continue to find it challenging to recruit quality candidates. An aging workforce in which over 70% of employees will be retiring in the next year. Note: You read that right… The Manager of Recruitment believes that it is beneficial to hire older workers. Therefore, most of the workforce is nearing or at retirement age. Issues with lacking DEI, specifically since most employees are older white males. Note: Over 93.5% of the workforce is white. All of the individuals who are in leadership roles, with the exception of your friend, are males. Issues with low morale/low motivation levels, which can be attributed to problematic workplace practices/a poor workplace culture. Note: Most individuals say that they are overworked and underpaid. Given the information above, write a 3 page paper about how each of these issues can be rectified. It’s your time to shine and detail what practices you would utilize/implement to address the issues noted above. Please root your recommendations in research and theory.
