Essay from the year 2013 in the subject Business economics - Personnel and Organisation, language: English, abstract: The essay discusses the perspectives and significance of recruitment, selection and employee turnover functions in Bonds, a garment manufacturer located in Australia. Much of the literature will focus on concepts of human resource (HRM) management discussions pertaining to workplace restructuring, downsizing, and employment practices. It can be posited that the key problem faced by Bonds is workplace restructuring and downsizing via outsourcing of production personnel. It will also address human resource (HR) perceived problems underpinned at corporate policy and actual functional level. A time frame will be allocated to achieve policy and human resource goals within the company's environment. The key proposition intended for this paper is "workplace restructuring and downsizing will radically alter human resources practices and employment methods, producing a leaner and meaner HRM function."
