| Abstract | In practice, a large number of companies pay a great attention to human resources, but
they do not really know what activities should be carried out. Many companies are likely
to recruit relatives of the company's employees, which are seen as a motivation and an
encouragement for them to achieve better performance in the companies. It is clear that the
companies need a new approach to human resources, starting from recognizing ways to
tailor the human resource strategy to fit the corporate strategy. Maidong Mechanical
Company is not an exceptional case.
Maidong Mechanical Company has been facing a crisis of human resources with the
turnover rate increasing significantly in recent years and it reached the highest point last
year. Consequently, the current human resources have not fully met working requirements
both in quality and quantity that has influenced the working efficiency and productivity of
the company during the previous years.
Recognizing the human resource as the most important asset and the core competency of
the company which greatly contribute to the company's success and create a competitive
advantage for the company development, this case research emphasizes an analysis of the
current human resource of the company; root causes which influences on the effectiveness
of the human resource, especially the recruitment and retention issues. It identifies key
factors needed to be considered and improved to develop its recruitment and retention
functions at Maidong Mechanical Company in the future. |
