Actions taken to enhance HRM
There are many threats which the company faced for many actions which are taken into
consideration for the purpose of improvement. The basic problems is faced in the policies and
procedures so in this case the CEO or the head manager should see that the policies and
procedures are clearly defined to the customers and also it should be in written form. The
document which is made should be reliable and also accurate so that the employees cannot face
any problem and can work in effective manner. Also the company should take into consideration
the procedure to record the complaints of the employees by this the employee can work in
effective way and can achieve their goals and objectives effectively (Knowles, Holton III &
Swanson, 2014). The manager or CEO should see that the complaints of the employees can be
resolved in effective way and also there should be no conflicts between the customers. To
minimize the absentees in the organization the manager or the CEO of the organization should
take into consideration various motivational techniques which can encourage the employees to
give their best. By this not only the performance is enhanced but also the company can easily
achieve its profitability. The company should also provide promotional and flexible timings so
that the employees feel good to work and give their best towards the work. Shortage of staff is
also a main problem which the organization faces. It can give a major loss to the organization
and also it can give negative impact on the goodwill of the organization. To reduce this problem
the company has to give main focus on the management skills and also should give emphasis on
recruiting employees who can give best results towards the organization (Bamberger, Biron &
Meshoulam, 2014).
Features to create a sustainable HR capability

future outcomes. By taking into consideration HRM a linkage is made between the strategies
which are given by the company and also with the human resources of the organization. The
CEO of the organization and the management team plays a great role in establishing and

sustainable HRM the following characteristics can be taken into consideration:

a training to deal with the employees who are working in the organization. It helps the
manager to understand the working culture of the organization and also helps to enhance

way (Purce, 2014).

this they are given intranet and also gives them assistance of relocation. It is necessary
that every employee should have information which is concerned with the organization. It

Jang, 2015).
4) Strategy which is on monetary basis: By taking into consideration this strategy it is
necessary that to each employee the monetary benefits should be given so that they can
feel motivated and conduct their task in effective manner. By providing vouchers and
