3HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Introduction
Human resource management is one of the key aspects of an organization. Human
resource management and International human resource management are the same and
function in the same way. There are several practices that are performed by the human
resource management like selection or recruitment, manage talents, administration, employee
relations, training, reward and performance management and many more (Ogunyomi &
Bruning, 2016). An effective and efficient human resource management makes sure that there
is an effective use of resources in order to achieve the goals set by an organization. The
primary aim of international human resource management is to monitor the functions of the
human resource management efficiently in order to gain a competitive advantage in the
market paving way for the success of an organization (Albrecht et al, 2015). This paper will
lay out a planned activity to resolve issues in an organization that will help the organization
gain a competitive advantage in the market.
Discussion
Brief overview of the company

designed, assembled and manufactured. The headquarters of the company is in Australia and
has subsidiaries in Singapore, China and Vietnam. The parts of the airplanes are mostly
manufactured in Singapore and China, designed in Australia and sometimes both assembled
and designed in Australia. The current CEO of the organization is Adam O’Meara who plans
on making the company a global success.
Issue in the company
No Name Aircraft company is currently facing issues in their operations that have
been generating less profits and the CEO of the company Adam O’Meara is having serious

4HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
concerns about company take over. One of the major issues that have been affecting the
organization is the inefficiency of the employees that has been working for the organization.
The company is an international company and operates in different cities where there are
many new employees who join the organization and are not familiar with the work thus
workers are inefficient and unproductive that is having a negative impact on the organization.
There are no trainings that are offered to the employees that may help the employees to
understand the different work culture.
The organization is not systemized and does not have any management
developmental program that might help in identifying potential employees who might be
suitable for managerial posts and enhance their skills and knowledge. The employees are
unaware of the goals and the vision of the organization and work without any personal
development. The senior management is self centered and is primarily concerned about their
own growth rather than the growth of the organization. Senior management does not help to
develop junior employees for the fear of replacement and sidelined for promotion. There is a
lack of proper professional development in the organization that has been proved to be
detrimental for the organization.
The value of the company No Name Aircraft is deteriorating mainly because of the
lack of training and developmental programs. It is necessary for the company to implement
training and developmental programs in their operations in order to enhance the skills and the
performance of the employees in order to make sure they become productive for the
company. The company needs professional development in the work sphere in order to
motivate employees for better and productive performance.
Planned activity for training and development
No Name Aircraft has been facing major crisis in their management that has been
negatively impacting the performance of the company and has been degrading. The company

5HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
needs to implement training and developmental program to fix the situation and come up with
an efficient solution that may help the company to recover from the problems the company
has been facing.
A planned activity for training and development program will help the company to enhance
the skills and knowledge of the employees in order to function in a systematic way for fruitful
results. Activities that will be beneficial for both the employees and the company are the
following:
Management development
The first thing that is necessary for the company is management development. The
company needs to make certain changes in the organization that will help in producing
competent employees in the workforce. The current management of the company lacks
discipline and a concrete structure. A concrete structure needs to be introduced where the
company will have different divisions that will segregate the work so that it becomes easier
for the company in their operations. Introduction of certain guidelines should be introduced
for the employees to understand and work efficiently. A system of hierarchy must be there in
order to understand the internal growth of the employees in the company that will motivate
the employees to set a target for themselves for achievement as lack of employee growth
makes employees less motivated and affects their performance. The company needs to
identify the internal problems and come up with effective strategic changes within the
organization in order to ensure workflow. The company needs to make sure that the different
divisions are performing their work efficiently and needs to set achievable targets to meet the
organizational goals.
Technical skill development
Different departments have different works that need to function differently. Every
employee is not familiar with the way a company works and the required technical skills

6HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
(Kraiger, Passmore & Rebelo, 2015). The company needs to train employees and enhance the
technical skills of the employees. Technical skill development training should be given to
employees department wise in order to help them understand the technical skills required to
perform the job in the company. This helps employees to be familiar with the work they have
to do and help them in performing the work easily without any difficulty (Jackson, 2015).
The company should hire efficient trainees who will be able to make the employees train in a
short span of time and make them understand the different techniques that can be used that
will help to do the work faster. It helps new employees who are unaware of the technical
skills that are necessary and learn them in order to give efficient performance and
productivity.
Soft skill development
Soft skills are amalgamation of social skills, people skills, communication skills,
personality or character traits, career attributes, emotional and social intelligence. Employees
need to have soft skills in order to enhance their performance and in order to retain existing
clients and shareholders. Workplace is constantly evolving and interpersonal skills are
becoming important in the workplace. Soft skills help companies to build and retain positive
relationship with people that later help employees to participate together in team projects and
bring fruitful results in the company (Hurrell, 2016). Soft skills do not only help in the
development of the organization but also helps in the personal development of the employees
that will help the employees in the long run.
Personal effectiveness
Personal effectiveness helps employees to develop and enhance certain skills that will
pave way for the benefits of the organization. Personal effectiveness is identified in relations
to primary generic skills. A personal effectiveness program will help employees develop

7HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
skills that resonate with positivity, goals and success. The skills that the program will help
employees to develop are the following:
 Determination- Determination is an important factor that an employee should inherit
or possess. This will help employees to stay determined in achieving the goal of the
organization and will help the employees to work efficiently to achieve the targets
that have been set (Güntert, 2015).
 Self-confidence- Employees need to understand and learn their own capabilities in
order to gain self confidence (Carter, 2018). Employees need to have self confidence
to perform efficiently and understand what the right actions for a particular work are
and achieve the goals of the organization. Self- confidence helps and motivates
employees to do the jobs they are assigned to that will be productive and beneficial
for the organization.
 Persistence- This is a skill that all employees need to have that will help them to
work efficiently. It is given that there will be many obstacles that an employee may
have to face and it is important for employees to not get demotivated because of this
factor and continue to work efficiently regardless of the obstacles (Rodell et al, 2016).
 Stress management- Every employee sometimes has to face problems in the
workplace that lead to stress. It is important for employees to learn effective stress
management so that the employee may adjust to the changing environment and work
efficiently (Holton, Barry & Chaney, 2016).
 Problem-solving skills- Every problem is different and has different solution. It is
important for employees to understand and have problem solving skills to treat the
problems effectively and make efficient decisions to solve the issue.
 Creativity- Every employee needs to be creative in order to generate ideas in
different ways for the benefit of the organization.

8HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
 Generating ideas- It is important for employees to have skills to generate innovative
ideas that are useful to achieve the goals set by organizations in original and by
unconventional methods (Birdi, 2016)..
Basic skill development
Every employee needs basic skill development for effective communication within
the organization and for the participation in the organizational works (Bratianu &
Vatamanescu, 2017). People need to learn the basic skills in order to make the employees
work in the organization efficiently with ease. There are certain things in these days that
employees need to know like the basic use of computer or customer service (Gerasimov &
Gerasimov, 2015). It is important for employees to learn this efficient way so that it is helpful
for the employees to work properly from the initial stages without any obstacles or barriers.
Time management
Time management is an important aspect of an organization. It is important for
organizations to set deadlines so that the work is done efficiently in the given time so that all
the works are done in a stipulated time for the growth of the organization. It is important for
the employees to understand time management and understand which work are needed t be
prioritized (Omar, 2017). Time management skills help employees to assess and divide works
as per the priority and set a deadline for themselves so that the work is done efficiently and
no time is wasted. Work done at the given time will help employees in order to work
efficiently and will help in the proper functioning and operations of an organization.
Effective leadership
Training should be provided so that the employees with their hard work and
experience serve the organization in the managerial positions. Training is provided to
employees to become leaders in the future. Every organization needs proper leadership
qualities that will help the companies to grow and develop in the market. A leader should

9HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
have skills like the ability to influence and motivate employees in the organization so that
they can meet the goals of the organization (Getha-Taylor et al, 2015). Leaders have certain
skills that helps motivate employees and also help companies to make certain strategic
changes in the operation to ensure companies generate positive revenues. Leaders have skills
to create innovative and creative ideas that can help in meeting the goals of the organizations.
Leaders have vision and implement certain strategies and help in making positive changes in
an organization (Lacerenza, 2017). It is important for employees to have all the leadership
qualities that the company needs so that they can be beneficial for the company and also
enhance their skills for the personal development of the employees.
The organization needs to effectively communicate the new plan and need to
implement it affectively that will help the company to make positive changes in the market.
This planned activity will be introduced to the potential employees who are about to join the
organization in a conference that will be held by the organization specially for the employees.
Conclusion
No Name Aircraft has been facing difficulties due to the lack of training and
development facilities in the workplace that is becoming detrimental for the company and
may result the company to gets hut down. The implementation of training and developmental
facilities will help the company to bring positive changes in the operations of the company
that will be beneficial for the company. Providing training to employees will help in
enhancing the skills of the employees in order to bring productive results to the company and
the implementation of the developmental programs will help in motivating employees for
fruitful outcomes that will eventually pave way for the success of the organization and help
the organization to recover from the negative impacts.
