STRATEGIC HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT1
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report intends to analyse the HRM issues faced by the Australian enterprise Lion Nathan
and the manner in which it used the construct of Strategic Human Resource Management
(SHRM) for the resolution of the same. The report highlights the recruitment issue, the low
retention issue, performance issue and others faced by the enterprise which in turn
substantially reduced the business performance or the prospects of the enterprise. For
example, it was seen that in 2015 the enterprise incurred huge losses and also the number of
employees declined in a substantial manner. However, through the usage of the process of
SHRM, the enterprise was not only able to substantially improve its recruitment process but
also align the employees with the overall business goals, mission and other aspects of the
enterprise. More importantly, efforts were also being made by the enterprise to improve its
organisational or workplace culture, the job satisfaction level of the employees and others.
These measures have helped the enterprise in the present times had not only being able to
improve its performance or profitability but also to increase the number of employees it
boasts of.
