Globalization and Organizational Staffing
Overview:
Globalization and Organizational Staffing. As organizations expand into new global territories, they face a new set of challenges when it comes to the staffing process. Culture plays a tremendous role on the talent acquisition strategies used. For example, if a US company has a career webpage that uses language. Which is only recognizable to Americans, it may be off-putting to other nations. And what is important in one culture in terms of job attractiveness, may not be important to another. Therefore, understanding these dynamics is crucial in securing talent on a global scale.
Summary:
As we have discusse-d, the organizational staffing process has four primary steps that should be accounte-d. Workforce Planning – HR and management work together to analyze the current workforce and then devise steps/plans to meet the organization’s anticipated needs. Job Analysis and Documentation – A thorough analysis of the job(s) is complete-d to determine the necessary knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs). Then, this information is documente-d and categorize-d according to job types and job descriptions. Sourcing and Recruiting – Multiple channels are use-d to identify and recruit talent. Selection and Assessment – Various selection and assessment methods (such as interviewing and assessment tests) are used to narrow down the applicant pool and eventually make the hire.
