Tanglewood Case Study #1

HRM594-Strategic Staffing
Mr. Perrone, I am responding to your request to review Tanglewood’s staffing decisions currently in place. After reviewing Tanglewood’s 39 year history as well as current and potential competitors, I have reviewed the 13 sections per your request. Each recommendation is based on Tanglewood’s mission and values. Tanglewood is a 39 year old company looking to expand its’ organization while still maintaining its’ core values. Tanglewood believes in running its’ stores with a “strong base of employee satisfaction, customer satisfaction, and profitability” (Kammeyer-Mueller, 2012). Tanglewood must set itself apart from companies such as Kohl’s and Target. Tanglewood can accomplish this by maintaining and obtaining an exceptional staff that can provide customers with a high quality experience. The strategies discussed will help develop and maintain an optimal work environment that will yield strong employee relationships.
Statement Validation
Acquire or Develop Talent
Tanglewood is a 39 year if company. Between the original stores and the new acquired stores there are inconsistencies in the management styles. It is recommended that Tanglewood develop a leadership guide for all current and new managers to implement. All personnel should operate within the core values of Tanglewood. Developing the talent that is currently in place will be very beneficial for Tanglewood.
As Tanglewood grows it is taken into consideration that new talent will be hired throughout the organization. A set path should be developed and maintained to ensure newly acquired stores/staff are in line with the fundamental beliefs and practices of Tanglewood. When conditions permit, new employees will be hired that will bring new ideas and help the organization progress. At this time it is recommended that Tanglewood develop the talent of the managers and employees currently in place.
