This report aligns HRM to management strategy and demonstrated the CHRM decision-making framework process to initiate measures for resolving problems or taking advantages of opportunities, using an analysis of the internal and external strengths and weaknesses, and opportunities and threats. Using a SWOT analysis potential problems were discovered and verified in the organisation. They are: * Knowledge management - Migration of senior managers leads to loss of tacit knowledge * Gender Diversity - Although women make up 41.7% of the work force only 3% of pilots are female * OH&S - Unsafe working conditions with smaller cabin crews and fewer staff available for flights

This report has revealed that Qantas HRM can strategically align with organisational objectives by instigating the following plan * Conduct an honest, open review of organisational culture to discover and action an incentive to encourage senior management personnel to stay, that includes establishing a mentoring program.
* Active recruitment and selection aimed specifically at women pilots and initiatives for women to join pilot training programs.
* Annual review of OH&S situations involving staffing levels on flights, possible staff retraining, job-sharing options to increase staff numbers without increasing costs, and the implementation of team-bonding, morale raising initiatives.
