    CASE STUDY 1.0

    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?
