The HRM team teaches the management team how to manage people as business resources strategically. This includes managing, recruiting and hiring employees. In this way, HR professionals are experts, not workers in a business function. They advise managers on many problems related to employees and help the organization to achieve its goals. HRM is the main factor for increasing employees’ productivity. HR practices turn employees into resource of development, as well as into source of competitiveness.
HR planning includes knowing about labor market changes and prediction of the occupational landscape, including small businesses which are affected by availability of workers. For example, the U.S. office of Labor Statistics indicates that jobs for registered nurses will increase by 26 percent between 2010 and 2020.
The American Association of Colleges of Nursing predicts a nursing shortage, based on a growing number of job openings and the number of nurses who will be retiring. A competitive advantage is gained through providing employees with chances to achieve work-life balance so they remain productive and engaged volunteers to the organization. HR planning is necessary to launch these programs; yet, small businesses must think carefully how successful workplace flexibility can
DECISION: Our team has agreed on the 3rd decision which is to break down the production jobs into several job categories and do a job analysis for each category. JUSTIFICATION: Our current problem is that the employee's’ refusal to take on some duties is likely to result into a lower production rate, then a lower profit, lower wages, and, at the end, a higher turnover rate. To avoid/minimize these negative consequences, at our current financial state, we need a set of readily applicable job procedures and rules for a reasonable price.
Evelyn Nakano Glenn has stated throughout her book that there are “systems of control” that have acted as “a central feature of the U.S economy” (5). Glenn believes that the U.S economy has been able to implement a system of control, in the Labor of people, by racialization and gendered coercion in a manner whereby employers can assert higher authority and worker constraints. The notion “higher authority” correlates to a term she mentions called Citizenship, whereby “worker constraints” touches on the term Contracts. By appealing these two terms Glenn takes the stand in her book that this is the basis of how labor exploitation arises via racialized and gendered coercion. The Citizenship aspect of her reasoning incorporates who, we, as a community

Brenda— Yes, I have experienced desirable turnover in the past. I previously worked with a nurse who made multiple medication errors and poor patient care decisions. This employee was given multiple chances to improve her performance; however she was eventually terminated based on poor performance.

These policies need to be clear to ensure that new employees understand the policy and expectation that the policy/benefit has on them.
Introduction The human being is the vital link in any chain of operations, but is also by nature the most flexible and variable impacting on predictability, consistency, transparency and quality of decisions. Predictably, the low regulatory capacity in low- and middle- income countries (LIMC) is partly due to the lack of appropriately qualified, trained and experienced regulators to ensure access to quality, safe and efficacious medical products in those settings. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) report described the current mishmash of inconsistent trainings offered to LMICs as part of the problem (Riviere, Buckley, & IoM, 2012). Consequently, systematic regulatory workforce development was identified as one of the critical areas to address
