Memo to the CEO of Stonewall Manufacturing
I don’t understand this Management question and need help to study.
You are an HR Director at Stonewall Manufacturing, a rapid prototype development company, headquartered in Norwalk, MA, with operations across the US. The following results were recently compiled by your HR Business Partner and based on a supply analysis of managerial positions/roles. Based on this analysis, you need to prepare a recap to Stonewall’s CEO that summarizes what roles the company should be investing as well as which ones are likely to require fewer employees in the future.
Specifically, your assessment should:
- Identify two roles where you feel Stonewall will have a shortage of employees that could most significantly impact its future business strategy. For each of the two roles, address the following:
- Employee Development: In order to develop existing Stonewall employees into these roles, what are the top tasks, knowledge, and skills needed for each role
- Retention Focus Areas: Knowing that we want to focus on retaining employees in these positions, what are important work values that Stonewall should consider from a retention perspective
- Alternative Sourcing: As Stonewall searches for candidates to fill these roles in the future, what related occupations or roles could we consider for recruiting
- Identify one role where you feel we will have a contraction in our future need
Submit your assessment as a written memo to the CEO. The memo should be a maximum of 4 pages, plus an additional page for reference citations, as needed. Answer your questions using the quantitative data (both supplied as well as from O*Net.org), and outlining the logic of your assessment (i.e., why you recommended what recommended). You are welcome to use other research or supporting information to further your assessment
