Q2. Why is effective recruiting a challenge for many employers? What methods can employers use to effectively recruit a more diverse workforce? (10 Marks)

Q3. Managers are proactively improving the employee selection process with various strategies that will ideally enhance corporate success. Some of these strategies focus on improving the quality of the individuals who apply for work, as well as those individuals who are actually hired into the organization. Other strategies target the selection process itself and seek to improve the various activities involved in proper hiring. The overriding theme of these efforts is that the selection function is a key component of an organization’s strategy because the process ideally provides highly motivated and qualified employees who can ultimately impact the financial and operational well-being of a company.

Affinity a greeting card and gift company is one company that emphasizes selection. It recently developed a recruiting metric called “staffing index” that enables management to track the degree to which newly hired employees are performing as expected on the job. A series of evaluations are conducted over time, and scores are compared to obtain a longitudinal perspective on the quality of the hiring decisions.

Syntex, a prominent health company is another organization that has improved its selection activities with proper strategic planning and execution. The company’s vice president of recruitment services decided to modify hiring procedures within the organization by splitting job candidates into two basic groups. The first group of individuals was comprised of high-level professionals who would be recruited by internal staffing specialists, while the second group included various staff and line personnel who would be acquired with outsourcing contacts. This “two pronged” strategy enabled the company to save money through increased control and efficiency. These various strategic selection approaches enable companies to improve the manner in which employees are hired and placed within a hierarchy of jobs. Many other strategies could be employed in different employment situations to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of selection. Overall, these efforts should increase the degree of fit between employees and organizations and increase the completion of strategic objectives.

a) Make a comparative analysis of the two selection strategies used by the organizations discussed in the case. (5 Marks)

b) Suggest some more new and innovative strategies which might help organizations better utilize and manage selection activities? (5 Marks)

3. BBC stands for the British Broadcasting Corporation, is a public service broadcaster which is headquartered in London. It is the world’s oldest and largest broadcasting company. It is recognised under the Royal Charter and operates for state for Culture, Media and Sport. It is often referred as ‘the Beeb’ by UK audiences. It has another nickname also, i.e. ‘Auntie’. Therefore, the two names may be clubbed together to be called as ‘Auntie Beeb’.

The BBC is a productive, extremely capable company which has won many awards for the outsourcing business. It serves a number of facilities like business process outsourcing, information technology, facilities management and serving the clients as per their needs. It generates the maximum customer centric vision so as to achieve maximum value to the company. According to Dave Wyer, Strategic Supplier Development Manager, Outsourcing Yearbook 2015, BBC has ranked best in outsourcing relationships. However, BBC faces some challenges also. The organisation thinks although it is best in outsourcing the business solutions, it lacks behind in many other contracts. In spite of information technology, more services need to be provided such as cloud, robotics, multi channel, single sourced, multi sourced, etc. Therefore, to achieve this, intelligent and proactive management of services are needed. The company always looks for collaboration with existing partners to innovate new technologies and methods.

However, this scenario can sometimes become complex due to market conditions which makes it difficult to smoothly execute all operations together. In addition to this, the license fee is also fixed which makes the task difficult due to the fixed income stream.

Dave Wyer says, ‘if you are expanding the outsourcing with multiple suppliers, then each of it is adding a certain risk with the value to the organisation’. Therefore, all these risks must be identified and monitored clearly for their occurrence. Another factor for eveloping the risk is due to the value leakage, which everyone tries in the organisation to mitigate throughout the life cycle of the contract. Hence, so as to avoid this, close attention is needed at all stages of the business by all the members of the organisation involved in it.

To deal with all kinds of related risks, a forum has been developed alled ‘The STAR Forum’. The BBC STAR Forum is an organisation-wide group dealing with the bringing of all contract managers and the sponsors under a common roof, so as to have a clear vision of the business like what is going on in the business, etc. i.e. the complete inside and outside details of the business outsourcing deals. This forum meet is organised quarterly and attended by all the senior management people and board executives also.

This approach exemplifies the barriers and risks of the BB’s strategic decisions for the business and thereby improves the value for the organisation. It builds more partnership opportunities for the company by engaging the staff efficiently with the designed strategy. Using the forum, robust communication links provide the BBC management to perform portfolio analysis for risks and develop the plan as per the risk for the removal from the system.

a. While achieving success, the BBC also faces challenges. Based on the information provided, identify two key challenges faced by the BBC in its outsourcing endeavors and explain their potential impact. (5 Marks)
