Impact of Environmental Factors on Human Resource Planning
-
Human resource planning evidently refers to the process of assessing the future human resource requirements and figuring out a way in which the existing human resource of the company can contribute to fulfilling these requirements. Environmental factors play an important role in affecting human resource planning in a business case. This mainly suggests that the environmental factors influence the way a company plans its human resource. This is because human resource planning reviews the future requirements that pertain to the human resource of the company. Environmental factors such as cultural and social changes can influence the requirements of a business in regards to their human resources. This means that if the society and the community that the business is based in is undergoing a massive change, the trend within its society will eventually influence the various requirements that the business has when it comes to its human resource. This means that the human resource department of a company has to plan in accordance to their current trends in their society when selecting and recruiting new potential employees. In addition to this, environmental factors also affect human resource planning in terms of changing trends in the market. This mainly suggests that a company requires a certain level of performance from their workforce. However this definition is ever changing since the demands of the market that it conducts business in always keeps on changing. This is why the human resource department of a company is always ensuring that the workforce aligns perfectly with the demands of the market and hence enables the company to perform diligently in their designated purpose. This also brings to light the fact that environmental factors such as governmental changes, new laws and policies have a deep influence when it comes to human resource planning. This means that companies evidently look into these aspects and ensure that their human resource aligns perfectly with the requirements of these factors so that they can continue to conduct their business efficiently and ethically in their designated industry. Furthermore, it is also imperative to note that environmental factors also have an influence on the way a company treats its workforce. This primarily lays emphasis on the fact that if the environment that the company works out of prefers a certain skill set, companies working in that environment will definitely look for candidates who have that particular skill set and hence provide them with better incentives while at work. This means that environmental factors not only affect the human resource of a company in terms of developing skill sets but also enables the human resource department of a company to plan in accordance to the various strains and changes.
2. Identifying problems within an organisation is an extremely important task. This evidently lays emphasis on the fact that in order to function efficiently within a company it is extremely pivotal that all problems are addressed and a resolution is found quickly (Van Aken and Berends 2018). This also lays reference to the fact that there are a variety of different ways in which a company can address its problems including not doing anything. For instance, in the Australian government’s educational department, in order to successfully identify a problem and find a solution to it, the department can not only address the issue but also try and understand everyone’s take on the issue. This means that the department will evidently attempt to understand where everybody stands on the particular problem. This will help the department gain everybody’s opinion and hence come up with a solution accordingly. In addition to this, another way that the department can address the issue and solve it is by listing possible solutions. This mainly suggests that the department will provide its workforce with a list of possible solutions that the department of education can undertake in order to solve the issue. The workforce of the department then gets the responsibility of picking a solution that suits them the most. This way the department can amicably solve the various problems that it faces. Another problem-solving process that the department can implement is that of compromising. This means that both parties within the conflict or the problem have to agree on a common solution (Gilmour and Perry 2018). This means that not only will the department identify the problem but will also come up with an amiable option that suits both parties involved in the problem. This will enable the department to not only resolve the issue but also come up with a new solution that helps elevate the problem from causing anymore issues for both parties (Rahman 2019). Finally, the department can also implement an accommodating method as a problem-solving process. This means that one of the two parties will have to agree to the other by accommodating them. This means that the problem can be resolved when one party involved in the conflict agrees to resolved the issue by agreeing with the other party. This evidently enables the department of education to solve the conflict as well as enable the department to function as one once again.
Methods for Identifying Problems and Finding Solutions
3. Determining a business need essentially lays reference to identifying the scenario that the company is in, the goal that the company wants to achieve and the various actions that the company will need to conduct so as to progress into a successful business (Deamud 2017). In regards to the Australian government’s Department of Education, the business needs would involve getting proper funding so as to support the department, coming up with economic benefit ideas that will provide quality education skills and employment to all members of the country and implementing new technology so as to remain relevant with the changing trends of the world and evidently flourishing in their designated purpose so that they can enhance the level of learning within the country. This essentially lays emphasis on the fact that the Australian government’s Department of Education will not only have to identify the objective that it wants to achieve but it will also have to analyse the way it conducts business on a daily basis. In addition to this, the department will also have to communicate the various findings that it comes up with its workforce. This will enable them to have a united front in terms of achieving their targets and goals. Finally, the department has to come up with a plan that will help them to not only achieve their target but also fulfil all the requirements and needs that they have from there designated industry in order to function efficiently and with purpose. This means that the Department of Education can identify its needs through assessing the objective that it wants to achieve so that it can eventually create a plan of action.
4. Endorsements mainly refer to a form of approval given by the public. In regards to the Department of Education in Australia, the usual process for obtaining endorsements and approvals would be by promoting the various activities of the department through an influential person (Ahmad 2018). This mainly puts emphasis on the fact that the Department of Education will enlist the help of celebrities and other influential figures to endorse the various prospects of education and the various ways in which the department aims to contribute to the overall welfare of its community (Hani et al2018). This means that the usual process of obtaining endorsements is through influential people. The Department of Education can further attain endorsements and approval through promoting its various attributes on the television through advertisements (Tarifi and ALGHAMDI 2021). This means that the general form of getting approval from the public is through media and promotional activities that can either be done by influential people within the community or through various advertisements on the television and other digital platforms (Ford 2018). It is also imperative to note that endorsements also contribute heavily to the overall image of the influential personnel who agrees to endorse the product or the service of the business (Fleisher 2018). In regards to the Australian government’s Department of Education, the department would mainly enlist educational figures such as authors and renowned professors to endorse their attributes (Nugraha et al 2018). In addition to this, in order to reach out to the general public the department can also enlist the help of influential sports figures, television celebrities, politicians etc. to endorse its various activities in order to garner public approval (Geng et al 2019).
