Castle’s Family Restaurant is a local, small family owned business. Business is booming due to the location of the restaurants. The family-owned business is usually a case of a dream vs. reality. With crazy hours, small profits and no relief, a small business is tough to handle. Finding employees who are the right “fit” is especially difficult for smaller, family owned businesses, which often do not have the luxury of a human resources department. Jay Morgan is the operations manager but playing two roles in this company by also acting as the HR manager, which is not good for him or for the company. As a Human Resource consultant for a small franchise like Castle’s, I would want to ensure that the restaurant is operating well because I know the success of the restaurant is heavily built around the flow in which it functions. The work environment of a restaurant is usually fast paced, and requires the maximum efficiency. Employees are almost always part-time workers, except for managers and other supervisors. Mr. Morgan is traveling too much during the week to each location to handle several to almost all of the HR functions.…

Regardless of the job you do and the environment you work in, you're certain to face conflict in the workplace at some point. Not all conflict is bad; sometimes conflict can create discussions to produce new ideas. Whether these disagreements become full-blown feuds or instead fuel creative problem solving is, in large part, up to the person in charge. The key is keeping your emotions out of the way so you can deal quickly and productively deal with the issue. As a manager, there are going to be many different situations and conflicts you are going to oversee. There are many different management styles when dealing with conflict.…
In reviewing Tanglewood case study 1, we evaluate all aspects of the company in order to determine which strategic staffing decision would potentially be suitable for meeting the organizations goals and staffing requirements. They’re 13 different staffing strategies which are distributed into two categories. Each one of the strategies is designed in a format of this one verses that one concept, making it so one would decide which would be best suited for the company. The two strategic staffing decision categories are staffing levels and the other is staffing quality. Staffing levels consist of : Acquire or develop talent, Hire yourself or outsource, external or internal hiring, core or flexible workforce, hire or retain, national or global, attract or relocate, overstaff or understaff, and short- or long-term focus. The next category is staffing quality consist of: Person/job or person/organization match, specific or general KSAO’s, exceptional or acceptable workforce quality, and active or passive diversity. By having two separate categories, it helps managers decide if their level of staffing is too high or too low by going through each decision, then deciding if the qualities of people they are evaluating are the right person for the right job. When going through these decisions it is helpful to have it broken down into these two groups to get a better understanding of where a need is for a manager when it comes to staffing.…

As mentioned in the case notes, when staffing was done ads were printed in newspapers and the response was huge. Staff selection was made through the unreliable and least valid unstructured method where gut feeling was the basis of choosing an employee. While the selected employees may or may not perform a lot better selection could have been achieved if the staffing team used a more structured employee selection approach.…
As the largest employer in Ouachita County, Arkansas, International Forest Products Company (IFP) is an important part of the local economy. Ouachita County is a mostly rural area in south central Arkansas. It employs almost 10 percent of the local workforce, and few alternative job opportunities are available in the area. Scott Wheeler, the human resource director at IFP, tells of a difficult decision he once had to make. According to Scott, everything was going along pretty well despite the economic recession, but he knew that sooner or later the company would be affected. “I got the word at a private meeting with the president, Janet Deason, that we would have to cut the workforce by 30 percent on a crash basis. I was to get back to her within a week with a suggested plan. I knew that my plan would not be the final one, since the move was so major, but I knew that Ms. Deason was depending on me to provide at least a workable approach. “First, I thought about how the union would react. Certainly, workers would have to be let go in order of seniority. The union would try to protect as many jobs as possible. I also knew that all of management’s actions during this period would be intensely scrutinized. We had to make sure that we had our act together. “Then there was the impact on the surrounding community to consider. The economy of Ouachita County had not been in good shape recently. Aside from the influence on the individual workers who were laid off, I knew that our cutbacks would further depress the area’s economy. I knew that there would be a number of government officials and civic leaders who would want to know how we were trying to minimize the harm done to the public in the area. “We really had no choice but to make the cuts, I believed. First of all, I had no choice because Ms. Deason said we were going to do it. Also, I had recently read a news account that one of our competitors, Johns Manville Corporation in…
Employee or labour welfare is a comprehensive term including various services, benefits and facilities offered to employees by the employer. Through such generous fringe benefits the employer makes life worth living for employees. The welfare amenities are extended in addition to normal wages and other economic rewards available to employees as per the legal provisions. According to Dr. Parandikar, “Labour welfare work is work for improving the health, safety and general well being and the industrial efficiency of the workers beyond the minimum standard laid down by labour legislation” Welfare measures may also be provided by the government, trade unions and non-government agencies in addition the employer. The basic purpose of labour welfare is to enrich the life of employees and keep them happy and contented. Welfare measures may be both statutory and voluntary. Labour laws require the employer to extend certain benefits to employees in addition to wages. Voluntary benefits are the result of employer’s generosity, enlightenment and philanthropic feelings.…
The recruitment process of most of the companies is too poor and inefficient to meet the demands of the companies. In most of the companies the recruitment fails to anticipate the workforce needs leading to the outsourcing of the works. Most of the companies in the current business scenario react to hiring situation as emergencies and they don’t have effective ways to forecast the workforce needs of the organization. Three fourth of the companies in the present business scenario are facing tough challenges while recruiting new employees for meeting the demands from the various functional departments of the organization.
