3.0 Current Business Factors That Underpin Human Resource Planning at MIDEA Group Company
There are several factors that can affect human resource planning at an organization. The main one includes state of the economy, labor market, technology, globalization and competition (Rastegar et al., 2012). Any business must pay keen attention to each of these business factors and align its human resource accordingly to ensure that it achieves its strategic objectives. State of the economy is important for an organization since it will impact the purchasing power of the consumers. If the state of the economy is poor, most of the people might be unable to purchase whatever the company is producing. The labor market is also crucial for any business or firm because it will determine whether the company will be able to find the right personnel to help the company achieve it production and service demands. Technology is another crucial business factor that aids in innovation of operation and products being produced by a company. Globalization is usually the goal for large companies. When a company has a global strategy, it must align its human resource department with the goals and objectives of the company. For the Midea Group Company, the two most important business factors are labor market and technology. These are core for the business operations that the company undertakes, and it will be important for the sustainability of the company in the present and future.
