Think of yourself as an organizational consultant and assume a key manager has requested a thorough analysis and recommended course of action to resolve an HR problem that will make a difference to the future performance of the organization. Try to focus your case on one specific topic.

Criterion:
Causes
Provide an identification and description of the causes of the problem/issue. Ensure the causes you identify relate directly to the problem/issue. A critical element of the strength of this section is to apply concepts, ideas or insights that are most valuable in helping you make sense of the causes of the problem. Support your analysis with reference to appropriate research and to illustrations of how the causes manifest in the organization.
Solutions

This week you will continue to explore best practices from Application Assignments during Weeks 3 through 5, and you will submit your final report. Your Learning Resources this week provide you with additional research and strategic HRM best practices for your consideration. As you learned earlier in the course, by maintaining various talent pools or skill sets within a given organization, specific HRM practices have been demonstrated to impact organizational performance. Investments in staffing, training, or compensation can be targeted to areas where the most significant strategic gains can be realized by managing key talent and creating value through the management of knowledge throughout the organization.
Organizations can create a human capital advantage by utilizing practices to encourage learning and development so that the skills of their employees exceed those of their competitors. As a result, performance can improve and high-quality talent is more likely to be attracted to an organization, providing continuous opportunities for learning and individual skill acquisition. These non-financial rewards positively impact employees’ engagement and commitment throughout the organization. Specific strategic HRM practices that encourage knowledge sharing, learning, and innovation throughout the organization can include rewards and performance management. For example, a reward system that is team-based will encourage and motivate collaboration since employees’ outcomes are dependent upon the sharing of knowledge to create the necessary value. You should keep this in mind as you finalize your report this week.
In a 3- to 4-page paper, include the following in the Final Report:
Background and introduction to the topic of strategic HRM best practices and their relevance to HR professionals;
An introduction to the strategic HRM best practices you are recommending and the reasons they were selected, with references to the literature;
How these new practices would align with the organization’s strategic goals and any gaps in alignment that currently exist;
Examples of organizations in similar industries using these best practices and how they impact their competitive advantage;
Provide specific examples with references to the literature and strategic HRM theories throughout the paper to show support and provide a foundation for your recommendations.
