Case Study

Jennifer, the owner and manager of a company with 10 employees, has hired you to take over the
HR function so she can focus on other areas of her business. During your first two weeks, you
discover that the company has been greatly affected by the hard economy and is expected to
experience an overall revenue growth of 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 organisation since the beginning and provide a
unique historical perspective on the company. The other five workers are of diverse ages, so there
are about to retire

In addition to these retirements, 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 organisation, but she wonders
how such a major change will affect her ability to communicate with her staff and worker
motivation.

Jennifer also shares her thoughts with you about the costs of health care for the organisation. She
has considered cutting benefits entirely and having her employees work for her on a contract basis,
instead of being full-time employees. She is not sure whether this would be a good decision.

Jennifer schedules a meeting with you to discuss some of her thoughts, in the meeting with Jennifer;
I expect you to discuss the following issues:

1. Discuss the changes that are occurring in the business that will affect HR.
2. In your discussion, 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?
5. What would Jennifer’s role be?
