Strategic Staffing Decisions Recommendations Staffing Levels • Acquire or Develop Talent In deciding to acquire talent or to develop talent, Tanglewood should focus on developing talent in order to achieve the “centralization” the company is looking for. By focusing on developing talent, Tanglewood would be able to create a core workforce with the ability to learn KSAOs (KSAOs are the knowledge, skill, ability, and other characteristics that are needed to perform the job effectively) from entry level jobs all the way up to management jobs. The newly developed employees would be able maintain the current values and culture that Tanglewood is focusing on maintaining for now and in the future as they continue to grow. Tanglewood has previously focused on the acquisition of their employees. Even though many of the employees are able to start employment with little training, this has led to the differences in human resource practices among regional managers which counter Tanglewood’s original philosophy.
For a company to retain talent it must offer more incentives for the employees than that of its competitors.

The ability to tap into the global labor market will make the company more competitive by being able to offer competitive prices on products due to lower overhead cost associated with the offset in the labor cost.

Acquire talent is very helpful for new stores, because employees would “hit the ground running” and be at the peak performance the moment they arrive. Hire Yourself or Outsource Personally, I think Tanglewood should hire itself. Outsourcing is more practical for small and medium companies.
Short vs. long-term focus In the case of short or long term focus when it comes to employment, it is my opinion that it depends on what you are looking for. However, it is my opinion that for your particular company a long-term focus would be better of for you guys and will help you grow faster and have a solid and consistent mission throughout your regions. I believe that having a long-term focus and investing in developing your talent will result in having great managers that will pass on the culture of the company to their employees; in whichever store they happen to be placed. Since one of the concerns for both Emerson and Wood was the lost of the company core values as a result of expanding, I believe that having a long term approach to employment will assure that those who stay with the company pass on those values to the next generation of
