Strategic Staffing Plan Research Assignment
Strategic Staffing Plan Research Assignment
Much research has been conducted on the strategic function of human resources planning. For example, consider the restructuring of a large organization to meet proposed changes in the strategic plan. Some companies change their overall strategy more frequently (every 2-5 years) and some wait much longer. When a company changes strategic plans, human resources are also a consideration.
Directions
Using the library databases, find peer-reviewed articles that present information on strategic planning from the human resources perspective. Present your research in a written assignment. Hint: Research the FSW library databases using keywords such as “human resources strategy”, and set the search filters to limit the search to include only full-text, peer-reviewed sources.
The written component of this assignment should be a minimum of 3 full pages (not including the the title and reference pages) and should be cited and formatted according to APA Style (see the APA template, as well as additional APA resources included in the Orientation Module).
