Introduction

Strategic HR management and traditional HR management take two different approaches to manage a companys personnel. Traditional human resources management reacts to employees when workers make requests or cause problems; HR steps in and takes care of it. Strategic HR, on the other hand involves planning (Sherman,2019). Human resource planning enables businesses to meet their current and future demands for talent, allowing human resource managers to anticipate and develop the skills most valuable to an organization, and providing the enterprise with the optimal balance of staff in terms of available skill-sets and numbers of personnel. (Goddard, 2020). HR statistics in the US suggest that companies lose $550 billion annually due to workers feeling dissatisfied or disengaged. Businesses are therefore wise to lay greater emphasis on building a healthy organizational structure that motivates the workforce, and on promoting healthy communications between management and employees. Thus, a business manager should focus more on the effective management and planning for human resources.

The Case Study

Interfood is a family-owned Greek firm that has been operating in the olive processing industry for the last 32 years. It is located in Central Greece and is one of the leading Greek exporting companies. Its workforce is comprised of 350 employees and approximately 25% of them are middle and high level managers. Mr T., who is the founder and owner, leads the company in a traditional manner. The general manager is Mr A., who is a close friend and has been a business associate since the establishment of the company. Mr A. is also responsible for HR matters at the workplace as the firm does not have an organized HR Department. He believes that department managers are mainly responsible for the HR decision-making process since his time is limited but he can also become involved as needed. Recently, Mr T. has been informed about the high number of employees who have left the company (employee turnover rate) as well as the lack of skills of the newly-hired employees. Clients contact him regarding delayed deliveries and defective products.Mr T., the owner, discussed this issue with his son, who recently graduated with a Masters degree in HRM, and realized that an HR Department would be vital for the company. The owner suggested to his son, Mr K., to take over the HR Department, however, under the supervision of Mr A., the general manager. Mr K., started his job with passion and organized an HR Department hiring new managers with secretaries in recruitment, training and performance management. He also sent an email to the production managers as well as the line managers informing them that all HR issues would be dealt with by him and the HR Department. Mr K., also requested that all line managers provide him with catalogues of personnel in need of training since the HR Department would be organizing training programmes for those employees. The managers of the firm were negatively surprised with this turn of events. Mr A., started to receive complaints from line and production managers who would be losing their power and supervision of their employees. Under these negative circumstances, he suggested to the owner that he reject these new HR policies since they would be highly costly and inneficient from a managers perspective and return the company policy to the previous scheme.
