    CASE STUDY

    Changes, Changes

    Jennifer, the owner and manager of a company with ten employees, has hired you to take over
    the HRM function so she can focus on other areas of her business. During your first two weeks,
    you find out that the company has been greatly affected by the up economy and is expected to
    experience overall revenue growth by 10 percent over the next three years, with some quarters
    seeing growth as high as 30 percent. However, five of the ten workers are expected to retire
    within three years. These workers have been with the organization since the beginning and
    provide a unique historical perspective of the company. The other five workers are of diverse
    ages.

    In addition to these changes, Jennifer believes they may be able to save costs by allowing
    employees to telecommute one to two days per week. She has some concerns about productivity
    if she allows employees to work from home. Despite these concerns, Jennifer has even
    considered closing down the physical office and making her company a virtual organization, but
    she wonders how such a major change will affect the ability to communicate and worker
    motivation.

    Jennifer shares with you her thoughts about the costs of health care on the organization. She has
    considered cutting benefits entirely and having her employees work for her on a contract basis,
    instead of being full-time employees. She isn’t sure if this would be a good choice.

    Jennifer schedules a meeting with you to discuss some of her thoughts. To prepare for the
    meeting, you perform research so you can impress your new boss with recommendations on the
    challenges presented.

    1. Point out which changes are occurring in the business that affect HRM.
    2. What are some considerations the company and HR should be aware of when making
    changes related to this case study?
    3. What would the initial steps be to start planning for these changes?
    4. What would your role be in implementing these changes? What would Jennifer’s role be?
