Introduction
I, Marion Forbes the recently appointed senior human resources manager at Hallington Utilities Services (HUS), am facing with a dilemma; work out HR strategies with the Organizations mission and handle employee’s issues and concerns. HUS has made changes due external and internal factors encountered in the market as well as the new regulations happening within the sector. All are very complicated and my main issues are privatizing, downsizing, unionization, motivation, training and compensation. With the information collected, I need to figure out some solutions and implement them, while becoming aligned with the Organizations mission.
Problem Statement
The most exposed Issue we can see throughout this organization is lack of communication, and little planning initiatives. This created a misalignment between the Strategy and Employee Focus.
Analysis
Organization position
Overview company- Current issues
As the organization background and current issues generally have, the two points, privatization and downsizing have been strongly addressed by CEO John, so I will leave them to the following analysis. I will focus on analysis the problem of competitive changes. “In a significant change of business, Hallington had begun offering retail products to the public as well as delivering regular hydro services.” With the recent move to a more competitive environment, there was concern that HUS would face major restructuring and reorientation challenges.
Privatization
While speaking with Mr. Swatridge I have realized that he is very focused on the short term goals such as finding a way to increase revenue and cut costs while exploring every option available. According to John “Managers maybe worrying about downsizing and union drives, I think these are really small
