MAIN BODY
A) Examine how HR strategies were changed by company. Use the concept of strategic HRM.
The human resource is considered as an essential department which helps in maintaining
smooth functioning of business and involves the system of hiring of systematic skilled and
talented employee so that the company can run effectively so that organizational goals can be
achieved. Strategic human resource management is the one wherein a consistent and coordinated
HR is present which works for the overall objectives of the business so that the performance of
the company is improved. The strategic HRM mainly encompass traditional functions of HR like
recruitment, selection, interview, screening and hiring of employees and also works with overall
strategy of organization so that the success is achieved. The HR unit of every organization deals
with the long term issues of employees in order to manage them (Afum and et. al., 2021). There
are many strategies which can be adopted by the HR manager of Rolls Royce so that it can
effectively manage the workforce of the company. The following are some of the HR strategies
which may be changed by the organization-

 Strategic adjustment- This ensures that the HRM is not only the independent action in
order to fulfil the formal role of workforce management in Rolls Royce but it also
executes horizontally and vertically in the organization so that each employee is managed
in an efficient manner.
 Resource based view- It involves defining the strategies that can help Rolls Royce to
attain the competitive edge in the market. This may be done by making optimum
utilization of the present and future resources. Rolls Royce can make the optimum
utilization of the human resource so that it can take competitive advantage.
 Best fit method- This simply implies that Rolls Royce may not really copy paste the best
HRM practices without even considering its application. Rolls Royce involves different
working wherein it applies only those methods which it considers to be beneficial for the
organization as well as its employees (Cooke and Kim, 2017).
In respect of Rolls Royce, the organization applies the best fit method in the business so that
competitive advantage can be taken in the market. This may be done by the presence of high
quality workforce which can work hard towards the achievement of organizational goals and
thereby generating high profitability and revenues.
Fombrun model
This model of SHRM provides that the organizational structure and HR system must be
managed in such a way which is congruent with the strategy of company. Its main focus is on the
four functions which includes selection, development, appraisal and rewards. It helps in
explaining the significance and nature of HR activities but it also focus on these four functions
and ignores the other contingency and environmental factors which may affect HR functions.
B) Explain impact of environmental factors on the culture and HR plan of firm..
The human resource planning may be affected by the changes that occur in the internal
and external environment. It is very essential for the organizations to have such plan which is
flexible so that it can adopt the dynamic changes of the environment. The HR planning may be
done for the long or short term and based on different environmental factors. The different
environmental factors that affect the culture and the HR plan of the Rolls Royce are discussed
