Workforce Strategy
A1: L a r g e s t reason of the labor shortage is a insufficient of qualified
applicants. The costliness of certification and qualifications, l a c k of
powerful brand recognition against larger brands, and the negative ratings
and comments from past and current employees are the biggest reasons for
the lack of qualified candidates. Transitioning to remote work is the best
course of action for current and future employees to increase the retention
rate at Prehard Tech. Many current employees have expressed their desire
to go remote in past surveys and applicants may be incentivized to apply
and accept positions when remote positions are offered. Remote work will
allow current employees to have flexibility and autonomy in their roles, which
in turn will increase job satisfaction. Job satisfaction will increase the
amount of current employees that will want to apply for the Senior
Programmer job. Applicants will appreciate remote work for the same reasons
as current employees, but it will also allow a wider range of talent to apply
for the position(s).
A2: Pruhart Tech should incorporate job enrichment to create a more
engaging and fulfilling work environment within the computer program
position. A lack of motivation is often caused by monotony and
repetitiveness, which current employees have expressed in surveys.
Increasing task variety will improve engagement and skills while keeping
work interesting and allowing employees to move up in the company. Once
an employee has more tasks allowing them to complete a task to completion
and providing regular feedback will help them feel a sense of fulfillment in
their position, while also fostering productivity and innovation.
Job Analysis Plan
B1: Collecting a full job analysis will be fruitful in finding qualified
candidates for the Senior Programmer position. All information surrounding
the applicant’s knowledge, skills, abilities, etc. should be included in the job
analysis. This would include college degree information, certifications,
experience, and specialties. This allows Pruhart Tech to attract applicants
who would be prepared in this job role if they were to apply and/or accept a
position. This will ensure that top talent applies and helps ensure that they
will be appropriately compensated.
B2: One on one interviews or meetings is a great way to create a job
analysis. These meetings will allow one to gain in-depth insight in their
