Pretend, for the purpose of this Critical Thinking Assignment, that you are the newly appointed Human Resource Director for a manufacturing organization with approximately 100 employees. Recently, you learned that three of the four factory supervisors will be retiring within the next six months. While you are excited for them, as they move into this next chapter of their lives, you also recognize that your organization does not have a strategic management plan in place. Therefore, you have been tasked to create an effective strategic management plan to replace the three factory workers that will soon be departing from the organization. Within your plan, address the following:
1. The importance of strategic human resource planning.
2. The role of HR during times of workforce planning.
3. Select a type of analysis to conduct (e.g., a supply analysis, demand analysis, gap analysis, or solution analysis). Explain how you would utilize one of these analyses to assist you in filling these roles.
