Problem 01 - Talent Acquisition and Retention Issues.

 Description


One of the main problems in human resource management is talent acquisition and retention.

The reason for the skill gap is technological development and the improvement of job roles. "Tesla has faced significant challenges in retaining engineers due to its intense work environment, rapid expansion, and frequent leadership changes, which contribute to high turnover rates (Quora, n.d.). Despite these hardships, the company's mission-driven projects continue to attract new talent." Lastly, the recruitment process is ineffective due to the high expense of the hiring procedure, which is complicated and poorly managed. As a result, the organization's effectiveness declines and the recruitment cost rises. "BlackBerry’s failure to adapt to rapid technological advancements in the smartphone industry led to a significant loss of market share. The company's focus on enterprise solutions rather than consumer needs contributed to its downfall (Inspire IP, n.d.)." Additionally, it is challenging to find qualified workers who complement the company.
