Please do this assignment in the form of a HRM report of the chosen company.
Please read the questions carefully.
Prepare a report in which you explore and evaluate ways that HR activities can be applied to reduce employee related costs (without cutting staff numbers) of your chosen organization.
Please do use Woolworths, it is the largest supermarket/grocery store chain in Australia, owned by Woolworths Limited. Along with Coles, Woolworths form a duopoly of Australian supermarkets, together accounting for about 80% of the Australian market.
- Gather publically available material about the organisation by reviewing its website and annual report. Check that the organisation you select has enough publically available data for you to gain an understanding of the company’s mission and objectives and their approach to HRM.
- Also consider and research the environment the organisation operates in. Is the organisation facing a skills shortage? Does it operate within restrictive legal/government constraints? Is the organisation (or its competitors) downsizing or expanding? Reviewing newspaper articles on the organisation and industry journals will help in this area.
- Assume the Company’s CEO has given the HRM department the directive to ‘reduce employee related costs without cutting staff numbers’.
- Choose two or three HR activities, define them and critically discuss with reference to academic literature and your chosen organisation.
- Explore and evaluate how those HR activities could be applied in your chosen organisation to achieve the CEO’s assumed directive to ‘reduce employee related costs without cutting staff numbers’. This means you need to examine evidence for and against the view that these HR activities can meet the CEO’s assumed directive to ‘reduce employee related costs without cutting staff numbers’.
- make recommendations to the organisation on how HR activities can be applied to result in ‘reduce employee related costs without cutting staff numbers’.
