Problems:
• As written in the case study, earlier the SYSCO operating regions had conducted their own HR practices without consulting the HR department. This was the big problem and could have led to negative impact on company’s growth. Cooperation between operating managers and the HR department is extremely important for HR efforts to succeed. HR also known as employee advocates or company morale officers who serves all employee issues or concerns with managing organization’s strategies and goals. But without the HR advocate role, there could be a risk for employer to face lawsuits and other regulatory complaints.
• Another problem in the SYSCO case study was the safety. Workplace safety and security has grown in importance along with disaster and recovery planning. Also, with explosive internet growth, many employees and managers uses social media such as wikis, blogs, tweets and other techniques. Though it is extremely helpful, but still the risk of social media is apparent. This could lead to many problems such as leakage of trade secrets, potential customers’ information and privacy of all the employees. Increase in safety issues resulted in increase of compensation claims by workers or other agencies.

Subsequently, “this return on investment is an essential part of the argument for including HR as part of an overall business strategy” (Mayhew, 2014, p.). Human resource departments utilize the information given to them from company executives and leaders, coupled with their respective expertise on all things personnel, and they plan and implement staffing concerns for the betterment of the organization. From preparing job analysis, to comparing inventory and forecasting, it is the responsibility of human resources to consider the objectives of an organization and fulfill those goals while operating the specific planning relative to HR.

As a HR manager you must possess the ability to look at things from a strategic approach (Anthony, Kacmar, & Perrewe', 2010).

My long-term career goal is to found my own financial company that specializes in applying advanced analytics tools to solve complex financial problems. Having worked as a financial analytics analyst for more than 6 months at EnovaFinancial, a Chicago-based consumer online financing company, I reinforce my passion towards financial analytics. Ranging from basic data query and reporting to predictive modeling and optimization, data analytics has assumed an important role in today’s financial services industry. Mastering data analytics could help financial institutions acquire the relevant information in the shortest amount of time and make the informed decisions afterwards. Since personal loan industry is only the niche of financial services, I would like to broaden my horizon of the financial knowledge by gaining a deeper understanding of its principle and its application to meet my long-term goal.

HRM should be responsible for motivating and, if needed, retraining their employees to achieve higher job performance and employee determination. Human resources often use the matching model where they match the need of an individual and the organization to achieve the best person-organization fit (Daft, Kendrick, Vershinina, 2010). If the company requires a person who can work late night, they look for a person who does not mind such type of work. Additionally, HRM needs to behave according the legislation to ensure equal opportunities in employment. Discrimination of race, gender, religion, social status, and age is still a problem these days and that is why a number of laws had to be passed to reduce these practices. If breaking the law is detected, a number of penalties have to be applied, whether financial or work related. However, the field of human resources is not yet completely developed and many
