,General Motors is referred to as a global leader in the industry of automotive. However, a
shortage of skilled and experienced professionals is faced by GM like diverse other organisations
of the automotive industry. Talented workforce for technology-related and engineering roles is a
key requirement of GM to foster organisational development and long-term business success. To
meet the human resource need and address skill shortage challenge of GM, the role of a tonic
will be played by the HRM (Armstrong, 2020). The presentation is aiming to outline diverse
HRM roles to address challenges of GM and foster organisational development. Additionally, a
roadmap will be provided by the study so that GM can develop a strategy of strengthening
organisational talent management through focusing retention, employee engagement, and
recruitment. The aim of GM is to address organisational future and current workforce demands,
achieve objectives of the business, and foster long-term sustainability through capitalising the
strategy.

To promote long-term success for the business and foster sustainable organisational
performance, a crucial role is played by the HRM. The Ulrich’s HR Model explored that, HRM
will not only perform as a support function for the organisation but also perform as a strategic
partner so that efforts of the workforce can be aligned with goals of the organisation (Ulrich,
2016). Diverse practices are implemented by the organisational HR professionals so that talent
can be developed and managed. Therefore, direct and productive impacts are reflected on the
outcomes of the business. According to the Resource-Based View (RBV) theory, a competitive
advantage is created by HRM to ensure business success through enhancing and capitalising
capabilities of the workforce and these capabilities are considered as rare, valuable, and difficult
