After reviewing the week one mini-lecture, staffing is one of the important factors for the long-term development of an enterprise. From my perspectives, European and American enterprises all emphasize human resource management, the reason is that their regular staff dismission costs are high, enterprises tend to encourage employees to continue to stay in the enterprise, to continue to add more values for employees rather than simply dismiss and recruit in the society. However, in some Asian countries, such as China, the cost of recruiting and leaving is very low, and companies are more inclined, or more simple, to find the people they want directly in the labor market. In addition, human resource management is a long-term investment. The problem is that many companies do not know if there is a tomorrow, and there are many uncertain factors. Generally, company management does not want their investment to be in vain through investing in staffing. Therefore The organization decided to allocate more resources to marketing or product design rather than use them to recruit and select employees.
What are the potential strengths and weaknesses of an organization’s decision to not prioritize recruitment and selection in favor of a focus on other aspects of the business?
Strengths
- Organizations can allocate resources to product quality, packaging to increase sales and attract the market.
- Develop the corporate culture and improve the welfare of new and old employees
Weaknesses
- It is not conducive to the discovery and acquisition of talent for various jobs and thus reduces the efficiency of the enterprise
- It is not conducive to the sustainable development of the enterprise once there is a vacancy ( dismission).
