Required information 2. HRM Execution HRM Execution Human resource managers and executives are continuously working toward providing a more strategic perspective in organizations. This means that in addition to being knowledgeable about human resource issues, they also need to understand business tools, processes, and technologies. HR executives should have a strong understanding of the organization they work for, including the economic and financial capabilities of the company. Additionally, they need to be well-versed in change management processes. By integrating business competency and change management skills with HR expertise, HR executives will greatly increase the value of their roles in organizations. In this exercise, please read the mini-case and answer the questions that follow. Kevin Henry is the Chief Human Resource Officer (CHRO) at Coca Cola Bottling Company. As part of this role, he is responsible for leading the HR function and ensuring that human resource practices, policies, and procedures deliver value to the company. A day in the life of Kevin begins with his morning meeting with the HR team. In this meeting, he hears status updates on the HR projects and services that his team members are designing and implementing. After that, he is off to attend another meeting. In this meeting, he serves as a mediator between executive team members who have issues with one another. In this particular meeting, the marketing director wanted to launch a new type of soft drink but the financial director insisted that the company did not have enough money for the advertising campaign suggested. As CHRO, Kevin resolves this conflict among his team members by offering recommendations to reduce the cost of the campaign and training his colleagues to work together more effectively. Next, Kevin returns to his office to call a member of the board of directors to discuss upcoming bonuses for executives. When the call ends, he attends his weekly meeting with the executive team. He is the leader of this week's meeting since they will be discussing present and future labor and talent gaps in the organization. The agenda for this meeting is to develop a plan for labor demand and supply for the next business quarter. After this meeting, he heads to lunch. Today he is having lunch with BKSH associates, a lobbying group that designs programs to shape public policy. The lunch hour goes by quickly, and he returns to the office to oversee a survey distribution that questions employees on their work attitudes, motivation, and commitment. This survey is used to identify any workforce morale issues or concerns. Once he sees that this process is going well, he spends the remainder of the afternoon figuring out how to modify and incorporate HR practices into the new strategic direction that the company is taking. In order to streamline processes throughout the company, Coca-Cola has decided to become a paperless organization. After helping design this initiative, Kevin plans how HR can change by moving away from paper practices and toward using technology to run operations more efficiently. 2c.
