Tanglewood Case Study
MEMORANDUM

DATE: TO: FROM: RE:

April 4, 2012 Mr. Donald Penchiala, Tanglewood Staffing Services Director Kendra Novak Thornton, Tanglewood HR Planning Analyst Tanglewood Regional Divisions in the state of Washington

As you requested I have reviewed our staffing forecasts and our future hiring needs. My analysis consists of methods that will help us meet our staffing and organizational goals. To do so, I have made comparisons to our forecast availabilities with our future/ projected workforce. This information will identify our potential gaps and how these gaps may be filled. STEP 1: THE FIVE STAGES OF THE PLANNING PROCESS A. Because we expect our forecast for labor requirements to be constant from the previous year, I have used the same current workforce information you have given. B. In the spreadsheet below you will notice that I took our current workforce for Department Manager (850) and multiplied it by (.64). This total equals 544 and that is our year four projection for Department Managers. I used (.64) based on the information from the table you provided in our Transition Probability Matrix of those to be promoted. The remainder of the spreadsheet also includes our Assistant Store Manager projections and our Store Manager projections. They were derived as follows: Assistant Store Manager: (150 current workforce) multiplied by (.06 the total of assistant store managers who are expected to be promoted within three years) gave us nine as our Assistant Store Manager Workforce projection for year four. I did the same for Store Manager: (50) (.66) shows 33 store managers will be needed in year five.
Next year (projected) Current Workforce Store Associate Shift Leader Department Manager 8,500 1,200 850 Year (1) 3655 0 0 Year (2) 510 648 0 Year (3) 0 192 544 Year (4) 0 0 51 Year (5) 0 0 0 Exit

    Considering Tanglewood Stores, I would recommend conducting a Criterion-Related Validation Test of selection methods for a position in order to provide evidence to support the effectiveness of the selection tool, examined to make a judgement of the predictor’s validity and job performance. I would recommend they use the concurrent validation design; it is more useful, more accurate and the results are obtained quickly. (pg. 340) It would be great to give the test to the Supervisor in the Tanglewood stores to test their leadership skills, in turn, extracted the important data, using it to improve the success of the employees in the…

    “ We were also fortunate enough to engage in our service a Canadian Frenchman, who had been with the Chayenne Indians on the Black Mountains, and last summer descended thence by little Missouri.”(Clark) As we know, in American history, the expedition of Lewis and Clark was one of the things that sparked the world in the 1800’s. Although, Lewis and Clark was not alone. They had two special, important and determined individuals to go along with them on the expedition, which made it more of a success, even though it took longer than intended to, to get to their destination. Their names are Sacagawea and York. The success of the Lewis and Clark expedition was based on Sacagawea and York’s race, familiarity of the landscape, and their knowledge.…
