...situation may have been alleviated by instituting a thorough supervision and mentoring program by ABC, Inc. to coach and counsel their employees. Background Carl Robins, a new recruiter for ABC, Inc. with only six months experience, successfully hired 15 new employees. Carl scheduled a new hire orientation to take place June 15 with the intent of having all the new hires working by July. On May 15, Monica Carrolls, the Operation Supervisor, contacted Carl about coordinating new hire issues such as manuals, drug tests, and policy booklets. Carl found while reviewing the new trainee files that several problems are present. Some of the applications were incomplete, drug screening was not complete, and orientation manuals were incomplete or missing pages. Furthermore, a reservation by technology services for the training room is present throughout the month of June. (University of Phoenix, 2006) Key Problems Three problems are readily apparent; employee applications are incomplete or missing data, three training manuals are currently on hand with 15 needed and the training room is reserved for the month of June. Without further investigation, root-cause analysis is mere speculation. Based on the facts presented in the case study, this author has determined several root-cause factors, which may have contributed to this calamity. These root causes stem from two sources, Carl Robins and ABC, Inc. Carl could have overstated his qualifications prior to hiring upon which a hiring decision...

...ABC Case Study COMM/215 Once completing my research into the hiring dilemmas at ABC Inc., I found it imperative to gather more information on today’s job market and how it affects the hiring process. The following is an introduction of a specific company that had requested a case study to be done on a recent internal hiring process that took place or did not take place. In this situation, a new recruiter was expecting to bring on 15 new hires to complete for orientation to work in the Operations department. When the operations supervisor contacted the new recruiter and checked on the status of the recruiting process, he was assured that all requirements were taken care of. When the recruiter looked into completing the vital paper work that would typically be in place for new hire orientation, he then realized that there was not a set process or checklist. Background Since Carl (the recruiter) was new to ABC Inc., he had assumed that there were set procedures on how to complete a new hire process. It was abruptly brought to Carl’s attention that there was a lack of organization within the guidelines and processes of the company. There should have been set steps that would have led him through the process of requisition, to recruitment and the matching up a candidate with the job opening. Carl then decided to investigate further. He then decided to look over the new trainee’s files, and realized that some of the files did not have completed applications or...

...1.0 Recruitment & Retention Plan Recruitment refers to the process of attracting, screening and selecting qualified people for a position within an organization (Sheryl & Amy, 2012). According to the case study, the major issue is the difficulty in attracting new employees. To be more specific, Hospital ABC found that there are still vacancies in critical areas that have yet to be filled up. Even with extended block, the Hospital will have difficulty attracting good employees as there are many other private hospitals competing for the same pool of talent. These hospitals are not afraid to pay above average market rates to secure these employees. Organizations within the healthcare industry are competing for qualified applicants to safeguard future growth. As such, there is a need for organizations to analyze the existing market competition for talent and create the corresponding responses in terms of competitive reward packages. The recruitment policies of the competitors also affect the recruitment function of the organizations. To face the competition, many organizations have to change their recruitment policies according to the policies being followed by the other competitors. The recruitment policy of an organization states the objectives of recruitment and provides a structure for implementation of recruitment program. Of primary importance is to ensure the organization’s recruitment plan is reaching out to the right talent pool in filling open roles. At the same time...

Case Study ------------------------------------------------- Introduction Hiring 15 new employees in early April as part of his first recruitment effort, Carl Robins is the new campus recruiter for ABC, Inc. Hired to work for Monica Carrolls, Operations Supervisor, these new potential employees require training on company policy, being oriented to the organization, and screened for drugs. Carl himself is behind on their training, has not completed all the required processing, in addition to the fact that some of the employees haven’t even completed applications, nor have submitted transcripts.

The training material also needs to be reviewed and confirmed for the employees prior to the seminar. Mr. Robins is quickly falling behind, so he needs to formulate a plan of action, and implement it concisely. ------------------------------------------------- Background Having successful hired 15 new people in early April, Carl had plenty of time to prior to June 15th in which to organize everything, but procrastinated until it became a scramble to handle everything at once.

...A Case Study of ABC Company COMM/215 Essentials of College Writing 8 May 2014 A Case Study of ABC Company What follows below is an analysis of the ABC Company’s hiring and training practices. In reviewing the events as described, many issues have surfaced regarding the assigned recruiter, Carl Robins and the human resources and training practices of the ABC Company. There are numerous examples of disorganization, lack of following through and areas of overlapping responsibilities, requiring a possible reorganization of the business itself. Although the Case Study does not specify, for the purposes of analysis it is assumed that there are separate Human Resources and Training Departments within the company, for, in today's business world, it would be difficult to imagine a company structure that did not include these two key departments. Initially, there appears to be a definite lack of coordination, planning and follow-through of the newly hired recruiter, Carl Robins. There are many incidents that demonstrate his lack of follow-through in the entire hiring and training processes. Many questions arise that deserve to be asked and examined. For example, 1) Why did he not immediately follow-through with the newly hired employees to ensure all required paperwork was properly and timely completed? 2) Did he assume that the Human Resource Department or Monica, the Operations Supervisor would follow-through with the scheduling of drug testing, physicals, etc. of those...

...Case Study: ABC Learning Background ABC Developmental Learning Centres was founded in 1988. ABC rapidly expanded, reaching 43 childcare centres by June 30, 2001. By November 2005, it had 697 Early Childhood Education centres throughout Australia and New Zealand. In March 2006, it forecast that would have 950 centres in Australia and New Zealand by June 30, 2006. It was a highly profitable company in the 2004/5 financial year, recording net profit after tax of $52.3 million from total revenues of $292.7 million. The six months ending 31 December 2005 showed no slowing in the financial momentum for the company with profit after tax reaching $38 million and revenues of $219.8 million. Trading in ABC Learning shares was suspended in August 2008 after the company failed to release its earnings for the 2007-08 financial year. Despite selling off assets, the company fell into receivership in November 2008 after increasing debt servicing obligations and its auditors were unable to sign off on its accounts. The federal government injected $22 million into the company to keep its childcare centers open until the end of 2008. The company was subsequently delisted. Creditors voted to wind up the company in June 2010. ‘Lessons to be learnt from ABC Learning's collapse’ Colin Kruger January 2, 2009 Dr Philip Ross, the head of the school of accounting at the University of Western Sydney, describes it as a "failure of regulatory and accounting processes" and says that despite...

...CEO of ABC Corporation hires you to advise on how ABC will be placed in the best position to maximise its performance and to maintain long-term competitive edge. Read the following facts, and give her comprehensive advice. CASE STUDY : ABC Corporation The CEO of ABC is clearly a highly motivated individual who has worked hard to build her business and values hard work from those in the organisation. She takes pride in “leading by example” by working long hours and still getting involved on the technical side of the business, making sure that they “get the job done right the first time”. She clearly values productivity and profit. She maintains that she would not have built the business if she had not pushed herself and those around her to achieve progressively greater levels of these. Profits are still looking good, but some comments on the part of two of her fourteen senior staff members have led her to suspect that all is not well within the organisation, and that it is hence perhaps nevertheless underperforming. Recently, she received a letter from a leaving employee in their Operations division. This letter finally convinced her that she should approach you (an expert in project and programme management) for advice. Part of it reads as follows: “My experience is only from being part of Operations, but I assume that the situation is not unknown in the rest of the company. I believe that there is a major problem with the style of management in ABC (at least...
