Workforce Management and Development Practices
Write an analysis of specific HCM practices to determine their alignment (fit) with an organization’s goals. Address the following in your assessment:
- Select an organization with which you are very familiar. You may choose your current organization, one you have worked for in the past, or a different one.
- Create the business context by providing a brief overview of the business goals of the organization.
- Select at least three HCM practices.
- Define the terms—basic practice, best practice, and best fit.
- Evaluate the alignment (fit) of the HCM practices with the organizational goals.
- Recommend how these HCM practices can be enhanced to support the organizational goals. Support your recommendation with evidence from credible recent sources.
