Case Analysis
1. Would Enterprise’s approach to human resource management work in other industries?
a. I think that Enterprise’s approach to human resource management would very well work in a lot of industries. One example of an industry that would benefit from this type of human resource management would be fast food industries. It allows people who may not have graduated in the top of their class and who may not have had the best GPA in school to still qualify to enter the company with a degree. They can show off their good work ethic and dedication by starting off at the bottom and working their way to the top. Having said that, job loyalty is greatly promoted in industries that perform in this way.
2. Does Enterprise face any risks from its HR strategy?
a. Of course Enterprise faces risks from its HR strategy, as well as any other industry hiring brand new employees. There is always the struggle of teaching new employees the rules and strategies of the industry they are working for. They have to go through a training session to tell them what is expected of them and how they should go about doing their job. One good thing to note about Enterprise’s HR strategy is that they like to hire former athletes and former people who have been in a club of some sort so that they at least know they are hiring someone who has been dedicated to something at some point, and hopefully they can be just as dedicated to their job.
3. Would you want to work for Enterprise? Why or why not?
a. Personally, I wouldn’t see myself working for Enterprise. Knowing I went to school and took the time to earn my degree, as well as spending money in the process, I can’t see myself wasting what I earned on cleaning cars as a job. I understand it would be a job right out of college and I would be making some kind of money but I believe I worked too hard in school and should be rewarded for doing so. I would
