Based on the environmental data, what factors in the environment suggest Tanglewood might have difficulty filling their vacancies in the future? d. Compute year end totals for each job in Table 1.1 and do a gap analysis to determine where shortages will occur in the next year. e. Develop a preliminary statement of the action plan for hiring for Washington next year. This should be an overview of the number of individuals needed to meet projected staffing levels for various positions that can be given to store managers. Make sure that your recommendations take the strategic staffing levels issues from the introductory case into account.
FTRE Staffing looks forward to helping Tanglewood Corporation with their future staffing and consultation needs. Sincerely, Staffing consultant, FTRE Staffing Staffing Report One Table of contents: Page 1 Labor Requirements Page 1 Markov Analysis Information Page 2 Environment Trends Page 2 Staffing Strategies Page 4 Labor Market Representation Page 5 Memorandum Labor Requirements It is estimated that Tanglewood Corporation will require an additional 4997 employees next year to fill all vacant positions projected for the Spokane, Washington flagship store. It is estimated that there will be 4845 hires needed for store associate positions, 42 hires needed for shift leader positions, 105 hires needed for department manager positions, and 5 hires needed for store manager positions. This information can be seen below in the Markov Anyalysis Information Table. Markov Analysis Information Transition probability matrix | Current year | | (1) | (2) | (3) | (4) | (5) | Exit | Previous year | (1) Store associate | 0.43 | 0.06 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0.51 | | (2) Shift leader | 0.00 | 0.54 | 0.16 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0.30 | | (3) Department manager | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0.64 | 0.06 | 0.00 | 0.30 | | (4) Assistant store manager | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0.06 | 0.52 | 0.08 | 0.34 | |
Tanglewood Case Two – Planning Based on the data that’s been provided, I have come up with the below transition probability matrix to demonstrate how the current employee base will be shifting to over the next year. By calculating these probabilities we can then create a forecast of how many employees will be in each role. Markov Analysis | Current Year | | (1) | (2) | (3) | (4) | (5) | Exit | (1) Store associate | .53 | .06 | 0 | 0 | 0 | .41 | (2) Shift Leader | 0 | .5 | .16 | 0 | 0 | .34 | (3) Department Manager | 0 | 0 | .58 | .12 | 0 | .3 | (4) Asst Store Manager | 0 | 0 | .06 | .46 | .8 | .4 | (5) Store Manager | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | .66 | .34 | Utilizing the above information along with the actual number of employees in each role I have created this forecast to outline where staffing will be for each role in the next year. These numbers may not be exact but they will give a fair estimate of how employees will move. Forecast Of Availabilities | | Next Year (Projected) | | Current | (1) | (2) | (3) | (4) | (5) | Exit | (1) Store associate | 8500 | 510 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3485 | (2) Shift Leader | 1200 | 0 | 600 | 192 | 0 | 0 | 408 | (3) Department Manager | 850 | 0 | 0 | 493 | 102 | 0 | 255 | (4) Asst Store Manager | 150 | 0 | 0 | 9 | 69 | 12 | 60 | (5) Store Manager | 50 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 33 | 17 | Here is my gap analysis of where the company will be next year.
This could cut down on cost by interviewing many applicants at once and hiring to fill many positions of store associates needed. Targeted recruitment would not work for this position. Many view the position of store associate as an
Tanglewood Case Two For the store manager group, you will analyze the information and prepare a report showing the results of the Markov analysis and the EEO investigation. The Director asked you to address these questions in your written report: Q1. Currently the organization expects that their forecast for labor requirements is essentially constant from the previous year. Based on this assumption complete the five stages of the planning process: a. Currently the organization expects that their forecast for labor requirements is essentially constant from the previous year.
Question 1c Environmental Scan The labor market of the Pacific Northwest indicates a high unemployment rate, and therefore difficult environment for individuals to find new jobs. There tends to be a consistent supply of qualified individuals in the urban markets of Seattle and Spokane, however it is difficult to recruit these college-educated individuals into entry-level positions in a retail environment. Retail stores tend to have a reputation of requiring long hours of work, including weekends and holidays, with little compensation. It is difficult to hire individuals that are willing to start in an entry-level position and work their way up over the years into managerial positions. Tanglewood prefers to promote from within, allowing the managerial employees to grow with the company, already experienced with the social and cultural environment.

Although they may have the motivation and willingness to work hard, students often need practical help (161). Unfortunately, in this fast-paced society, there are consequences to dropping out of college (164). Leonhardt mentions how there are limited pay raises for those without college degrees (160). Also, not everyone has the opportunity to acquire a job that is usually only given to college graduates. Although non-graduates may live satisfying lives, many worry how long their prosperity will last (164).
Dare I say it, a substantial portion of higher education could find itself somewhat societally delegitimized owing to the fact that not only are many college graduates not able to find jobs, but also because higher education has acquiesced to the present scheme. To put things into perspective, even some law professors expect a considerable number of law schools to close in the near future. Aye, despite bureaucratic games, excessive costs, and culturally reinforced educational standards, the market has the last
Because many want to work, have family, but no degree; a lot of businesses open their doors when they can monetarily! “By setting an artificial minimum on wages, lawmakers unintentionally raise the unemployment of the most disadvantaged and make it nearly impossible for teenagers and other unskilled citizens to enter the labor pool,” says Stephen Chapman spouting openly concerning the argumentative pay raise(3 Meisner, et al). When the hourly wages go up the small business doors tend to close. Raising the minimum wage does nothing for them other than causing the cost of living to go up, and causes them to pay a little more in income tax. Just those two ideas alone put them having less money in the aftermath of the raise, than they did before this cold remnant of fairness hits too
