Research and identify a current global trend that has the potential to impact your chosen organization and its ability to be agile and adaptive and specifically the policies and practices of its Human Resources Department or Division and its AHROP, which must anticipate and address global trends in HR’s planning for the year ahead.
By Day 7
In a 3- to 4-page paper, respond to the following:
● Describe a current global trend (e.g., down-sizing, social media, aging workforce, virtual workplace, global office, health) that might impact your chosen organization and specifically its Human Resources Department/Division’s strategies.
● Using your HR SWOT analysis from Week 2, with corrections applied from Faculty feedback and suggestions, address this external trend as either (external) threats or opportunities, adding to your HR SWOT analysis, highlighting your changes so your Instructor can easily identify them. This will become the final version of your AHROP’s Appendix B.
● Also, write an HR strategy (i.e., strategies are written as a single sentence with an action verb showing direction or movement and can be measured) to address this external trend, together with 6–8 key action steps (as bullet points) that are needed to make this strategy become a reality. Action steps are used to guide the execution of a strategy, allowing anyone to follow the plan. This can become one of your HR strategies in your final project using the required Template. Use the SMART acronym when developing your HR strategy (S-Specific; M-Measurable; A-Action-oriented; R-Realistic; T-Timely). Strategies are written as a single sentence.
