INTRODUCTION
This Assignment will focus on the Halcrow Group study case as presented. I will focus on the three main theories that are of significance, which are the Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM), the Retention Strategy and Performance Management.
Using these theories, I will explain how Halcrow will gain a competitive advantage by adapting the Act Now change vehicle. I will also look at their current HR challenges and discuss how these theories will be applied to improve their situation and gain a competitive advantage.
To support that the Act Now change programme will add value to the emerging strategy, I will identify challenges within Halcrow’s functions/ activities and illustrate how the Act Now will mitigate them.
Below is a statement from the case study of importance
In 2004, Halcrow launched its change program Act now, which was designed to help the Group to continue to develop in a dynamic and sustainable way. The focus of Act now was to align employees’behaviours and approaches to Halcrow’s purpose, values, codes of behavior and business principles thereby improving individual, team and overall business performance.
The statement above emphasis how urgent it was for Halcrow to transform and be able to cope with all the environments they are operating under and they chose to Act now.
