Human Resource Management Policies

The fact that organizations differ in their nature of the business, this requires them to

come up with human resource policies and programs that will suit their organizations best with

the aim of helping them achieve their goals as well as recruiting and retaining employees.

However, some policies turn to be effective while other become ineffective and they require to

be changed, but before a change can be made the organizational readiness for change should be

assessed to avoid resistance. To give more insight to HR policies, programs, and procedures, the

HR policies for Wal Mart stores will be assessed on their effectiveness, and the policies that

require change will be highlighted.

Wal Mart is a multinational retailing corporation that is American based and operates a

chain of departmental stores, hypermarkets, and grocery stores. The company is world largest by

revenue and also the largest private employer in the world with a total of approximately 2.3

million workers (Data, 2006). My passion in retail businesses makes me interested in the affairs

of this multinational corporation.

The company has the following HR policies and practices. First aligning their HR

practices with business activities. Secondly, the company has training and development policies

for employees on a regular basis. Thirdly, the company has employees benefits programs which

have two broad categories that are, the Health and well-being befits and financial benefits.

Fourthly, the company has a dressing code policy for all its employees. Lastly, the company has

workforce planning policies which links businesses planning, recruitment and retention and staff
