As a Human Resource Management Consultant, you have been invited by a company of your choice to advise them on the possibility of restructuring their HR practices in order to compete more effectively in the global marketplace. In particular the Board of Directors would like you to address the following:

Task 1: Drawing on HR models, critically explain the company's approach to the management of its human capital and whether it is appropriate to current market requirements.

Task 2: Critically discuss its recruitment and selection in relation to strategic human resource initiatives. Make relevant recommendations as to how it could improve this process.

Task 3: Discuss its approach to HRD and explain how this could be improved.

Task 4: Critically evaluate the classical theories of motivation and from your discussion of these theories propose a hybrid theory which may combine the most meaningful characteristics from a range of these theories and which you believe will have practical value in this organisation.

Task 5: Discuss the challenges of managing change in the context of restructuring the company's approach to managing its human capital.
