HR Strategy

 In your opinion, which option is the lowest cost for the company? Explain your reasoning.

In my eyes, sending the work offshore to an outsourcer company in India is the best option to

lowest the cost for the company. Rather of trying to recruit locally and pay all salaries on top 25

percent perks, this strategy reduces the company 1/3 of the cost of completing the job.

 In your opinion, which option has the lowest risk for the company? Explain your reasoning.

Offshoring work to an outsourcer is low-risk because working in India provides a 9-hour time

difference. This benefit could be that if the software defect and is not ready to use overnight, the 9-

hour timeframe gives us to fix it before the day begins. Thus, there is no need to worry about the

software problems.

 Would you consult with your existing staff before deciding on additional staffing? What are the

benefits and difficulties with involving your existing staff in the decision-making?

I will consider talking to my current staff before taking decision regarding recruiting additional staff.

It will motivate them and make them feel included in the company which ultimately helps in

increasing productivity. Another benefit is that I can get more and better ideas about upcoming

decision. Coming to difficulties, lack of knowledge and skill to consult in high-management decision

making.

 Would your decision be influenced if you had a friend who was looking for work? Why or why

First, I would like to see his/her work before hiring them. I would give them job according to their

skills and qualification. It would be hard to say that I can hire you, but your pay will be low due to

working offshore which is best option for new recruiter.

 Knowing what you do at this point, which HR strategy option would you prefer to implement in this

situation? Explain your reasoning.
