Scenario
Organisation:
The organisation is a global car manufacturer. It has both centralised and decentralised functions. One of the decentralised functions is the HR function. In each global location they are based, while production is the core of the organisation, there are many other support functions that ensure the success of the business.
The business requires committed employees to ensure that the organisation is successful and sustainable, and that it achieves its business objectives through strong performance. However, like other industries, automotive is looking at a global skills shortage, in which too few engineers are sufficiently qualified to operate sophisticated automated machinery and equipment or support the advancements available via emerging technologies. These roles cover a number of disciplines, including design, production and programmes and quality; all of which require differing levels of skill, experience and expertise.
