...achieving near term objectives. Because it helps define appropriate short-term actions, it is more likely that the same line manager, making the staffing decision will still be in place to collect the benefits of that decision later on. First of all, it is important to address staffing from a proactive, planning perspective and not just an implantation phase. Even though this approach may have been used before, it is no longer realistic for organizations to assume that the staff needed to implement its plans is readily available and quickly recruited, trained, and qualified to work. Some staffing limitations may impact the company’s ability to implement its plans. For instance, my organization requires that only registered nurses with advance life support certification are to be scheduled to work on sub-acute unit.

Businesses are now called upon to consider – and, indeed, intentionally to manage – the wider social and environmental consequences of their actions, beyond the requirements of the legal and regulatory settings in which they operate” (Charles River Center, 2008). Thus it is important for Charles River Printing (CRP) to include this concept into its sustainability vision and mission in order to make it as part of their daily operations and grow as a responsible company. To build the strategic planning practices (SPP) for CRP it is important to develop action plans, the timeline for its planning; the level of stakeholder engagement; the governance structure; risk assessment and mitigation plans; and most importantly measure its progress (Pojasek, 2013. p.1). While doing this it is important to integrate the policies and strategies with respect to the economic sustainability, social responsibility and environmental stewardship of the company. Moreover, the goals have to be aligned with the mission, vision and core value of the company and vice versa. The first step is to develop the SPP would be to understand that of its parent company RR Donnelley.
