Why is HR planning integral to a firm’s strategic planning? As an HR professional, what do you think you could do to tie the two functions together? 2 Understand how an organization’s competitive environment influences its strategic planning. What external factors in the environment do you think firms are most likely to overlook when formulating their business strategies? How can an HR manager help its executive team get a fuller picture of the competitive environment in which it operates? 3 Understand why it is important for an organization to do an internal resource analysis. Think back to the discussion in Chapter 1 about the auto-parts makers that had to look for new business lines when GM, Ford, ad Chrysler sales plummeted in the last recession. How do you think the auto-parts makers assessed their ability to enter their new markets? Do you think they looked first at new markets and then the capabilities of their employees and external partners or vice versa? 4 Describe the basic tools used for human resources forecasting. If you are currently employed, ask your manager how your firm goes about forecasting 5 Explain the linkages between competitive strategies and HR. Think about a firm you enjoy doing business with or one you don’t. What competitive strategy does it pursue? Do you think its employees have the right skills given the strategy? Do you detect any mismatches? 6 Understand what is required for a firm to successfully implement a strategy. Why is it difficult to translate a firm’s strategy into HR deliverables that actually get the job done? What part of this endeavor do you think HR managers struggle with the most? 7 Recognize the methods for assessing and measuring the effectiveness of a firm’s strategy. Why do some organizations rely more on some HR metrics than others? Think about the businesses on or near your campus. Which metrics do you think they are most likely to track?

This rate is computed by subtracting unavoidable separations (US) from all separations. The formula for this method is as follows: where M represents the total number of employees at mid month. For example, if there were 25 separations during a month, 5 of which were US, and the total number of employees at mid month (M) was 500, the turnover rate would be: 1–39
