Human Resources Forecast

Paper Summary:

This paper offers a forecast on Human Resources for a fictional company over a five-year period, based on what has happened during the last two years, concentrating on maintaining diversity and on coping with technological change. The paper notes how diversity makes a company more competitive because the workforce then reflects the consumer base, and how technology can be used to recruit new workers.

Over that period of time, conditions have shifted somewhat so that the HR picture at this time shows the following features: --The local labor market continues to shrink --Local labor costs are rising --Demand for SMC product has continued to increase --SMC's workforce is now bilingual --SMC's accident rate has increased by 50% --SMC has experienced unsuccessful labor organizing attempts --SMC's CEO is terminally ill Currently, what is required is a forecast as to what will happen over the next 5 years and what is needed for SMC to remain competitive with regard to staffing. Workplace diversity has been increased over the last two years, and this is a trend that can and should be maintained."
