Tanglewood’s Operating Environment
CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY
Human Resource
We as an external consultant to staffing services
will give advice as to which staffing levels and
quality best suit Tanglewood based on Exhibit 1.7
Staffing Levels
CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY
1. Acquire or Develop Talent
2. Hire Yourself or Outsource
3. External or Internal Hiring
4. Core or Flexible Workforce
5. Hire or Retain
6. National or Global
7. Attract or Relocate
8. Overstaff or Understaff
9. Short or Long-Term Focus
Staffing Levels: 1. Acquire or Develop Talent
CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY
From the case that there is an inconsistency in
management styles between the original stores and the
newly acquired stores.
Acquisition Strategy:Acquisition Strategy: It assures that the newly acquired
stores start on the right path without resentment or
employees, particularly managers who resist.
Develop Talent Strategy:Develop Talent Strategy: For existing stores, This
approach could be beneficial to maintain a productive
workforce and Tanglewood wants its employees to be
self sufficient and think like managers.
Staffing Levels: 2. Hire Yourself or Outsource
CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY
This is a unique and tricky decision for any company. In
our opinion, we will not encourage out source
consultants because of their lacking in the actual
experience of that region. This may lead to more
disadvantages of the company process decision such as
lack of knowledge to the hr function and consultant is not
fully aware of their strengths or weaknesses of the
internal region director.
However, there are several advantages for hiring an out
source such as giving a new plan or idea, a new
technique and a new opinion to improve certain things at
Tanglewood hr department.
Staffing Levels: 3. External or Internal Hiring
CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY
For upper level management positions, Tanglewood
should hire internally because of the people culture
and value from each region; this is due to the
similarity between the employee and their society.
For entry level positions they should obviously hire
externally.
Staffing Levels: 4. Core or Flexible Workforce
CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY
In our opinion, Tanglewood should focus on
Core Workforce during the selection of
employees. This business is based on a “team”
philosophy that will be easily accomplished
through core workforce. It will be difficult to
maintain a cohesive employee and company
culture with flexible employees throughout the
year as opposed to full and part time employees
working year around.
Staffing Levels: 5. Hire or Retain
CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY
In our opinion, Tanglewood should focus on
retaining their employees and develop their
talent and skills instead hiring new ones. If
they plan to follow an internal hiring strategy
and maintain a core workforce as per our
suggestion, then they must focus on retaining
these employees. It would be difficult to
maintain a consistent company culture if they
have high turnover rate of employees.
Staffing Levels: 6. National or Global
CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY
Tanglewood like other stores has the same
tools, clothing, equipment, electronics and
much more. These retailers have to be engage
in both overseas out-sourcing and off-shoring
by hiring high tech and talented, sufficient
employees to deal with this globally and locally
that will help Tanglewood reach and exceed
competitive levels among others.
Staffing Levels: 7. Attract or Relocate
CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY
Tanglewood retailers, have to establish locations closer
to their distributors, this is because Tanglewood has 12
geographic regions and 20 stores per region. This mean
the regional managers have little experience on how
human resource runs throughout the 20 stores.
Tanglewood needs external and internal training for
these managers and continuously update them with new
policies and guidelines, to keep Tanglewood with the
other competitors. Another way to attract employees to
Tanglewood is there high education quality that is
expected of them when applying. This will lead to our
last factor of quantity exhibit the short or long term
focus.
Staffing Levels: 8. Overstaff or Understaff
CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY
In our opinion, Tanglewood Company is overstaffed.
Even though, Tanglewood managers are more
cooperative with all its employees’ suggestions
regarding the company’s operations but still it needs to
decrease. We really think that by decreasing the
number of employees and increasing the responsibility
staffing, training in each department will make the
work atmosphere stronger and job performance will be
done in a shorter time and also saving money for the
company.
Staffing Levels: 9. Short or Long-Term Focus
CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY
Setting a goal is easy for a company, however,
balancing and how to achieve that goal is challenging.
The human resource functions for Tanglewood among
the regions has less experience because they are not
connecting with each other very well. The short focus
plan has to improve the human resource function and
develop and increase the knowledge of their department.
This will lead to the long term focus that will help them
understand how to reach their long term focus. Most
talent management program is focusing on a long term
focus and this is the only way human resource can be
successful in Tanglewood.
Staffing Quality
CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY
1. Person/Job or Person/Organization Match

Staffing Quality:
1. Person/Job or Person/Organization Match
Staffing Quality: 2. Specific or General KSAOs
CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY
We would go for the second choice more than the first.
Staff that have a variety of knowledge and experience will
serve best at this company. Tanglewood needs someone
who can adapt to the agile requirement of the company
and changing business world. As the company expands,
many changes will take place. Someone who can fit both
now and future will be perfect if the candidate has a
general KSAOs.
Staffing Quality:
3. Exceptional or Acceptable Workforce Quality
CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY
The first is the best choice for the organization. The
employees are an asset for Tanglewood. The company
cannot settle for cheap labour or average staff which could
threaten the success of the company built over the years.
Plus Tanglewood does not believe so much in a flexible
workforce like temporary workers. Staff turnover is not so
healthy for a company. Tanglewood should continue its
culture of valuing its employees and ensuring core good
workforce is always maintained over the years.
Staffing Quality: 4. Active or Passive Diversity
CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY
A diverse workforce is good for today however the
question is whether the workforce understands the local
need of the place, the demand patterns, customer
expectations and culture to name a few. We would
recommend a passive workforce for Tanglewood to
maintain the close relationship shared among employees
***Employment in US follows EEU my lecturer said so my
answer isnt so correct for this case study. We could
promote active diversity
Recommendation/Conclusion
CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY
Since the aim of Tanglewood is now to expand, their
management must understand KSAOs and motivation of its
employees, how to attract, retain, perform and satisfy
customers.
We are giving recommendations, but the organization must be
careful in the sudden change after many years through our
consultation and centralization of decisions by Penchiala and
Anchley.
A strong workforce with skills, qualifications, education and
knowledge and customer satisfaction / loyalty will surely lead
Tanglewood to have the competitive advantage to stay ahead
of its competitors and be a price / product leader.

  • 18. Tanglewood’s Operating Environment CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY Human Resource We as an external consultant to staffing services will give advice as to which staffing levels and quality best suit Tanglewood based on Exhibit 1.7
  • 19. Staffing Levels CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY 1. Acquire or Develop Talent 2. Hire Yourself or Outsource 3. External or Internal Hiring 4. Core or Flexible Workforce 5. Hire or Retain 6. National or Global 7. Attract or Relocate 8. Overstaff or Understaff 9. Short or Long-Term Focus
  • 20. Staffing Levels: 1. Acquire or Develop Talent CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY From the case that there is an inconsistency in management styles between the original stores and the newly acquired stores. Acquisition Strategy:Acquisition Strategy: It assures that the newly acquired stores start on the right path without resentment or employees, particularly managers who resist. Develop Talent Strategy:Develop Talent Strategy: For existing stores, This approach could be beneficial to maintain a productive workforce and Tanglewood wants its employees to be self sufficient and think like managers.
  • 21. Staffing Levels: 2. Hire Yourself or Outsource CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY This is a unique and tricky decision for any company. In our opinion, we will not encourage out source consultants because of their lacking in the actual experience of that region. This may lead to more disadvantages of the company process decision such as lack of knowledge to the hr function and consultant is not fully aware of their strengths or weaknesses of the internal region director. However, there are several advantages for hiring an out source such as giving a new plan or idea, a new technique and a new opinion to improve certain things at Tanglewood hr department.
  • 22. Staffing Levels: 3. External or Internal Hiring CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY For upper level management positions, Tanglewood should hire internally because of the people culture and value from each region; this is due to the similarity between the employee and their society. For entry level positions they should obviously hire externally.
  • 23. Staffing Levels: 4. Core or Flexible Workforce CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY In our opinion, Tanglewood should focus on Core Workforce during the selection of employees. This business is based on a “team” philosophy that will be easily accomplished through core workforce. It will be difficult to maintain a cohesive employee and company culture with flexible employees throughout the year as opposed to full and part time employees working year around.
  • 24. Staffing Levels: 5. Hire or Retain CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY In our opinion, Tanglewood should focus on retaining their employees and develop their talent and skills instead hiring new ones. If they plan to follow an internal hiring strategy and maintain a core workforce as per our suggestion, then they must focus on retaining these employees. It would be difficult to maintain a consistent company culture if they have high turnover rate of employees.
  • 25. Staffing Levels: 6. National or Global CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY Tanglewood like other stores has the same tools, clothing, equipment, electronics and much more. These retailers have to be engage in both overseas out-sourcing and off-shoring by hiring high tech and talented, sufficient employees to deal with this globally and locally that will help Tanglewood reach and exceed competitive levels among others.
  • 26. Staffing Levels: 7. Attract or Relocate CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY Tanglewood retailers, have to establish locations closer to their distributors, this is because Tanglewood has 12 geographic regions and 20 stores per region. This mean the regional managers have little experience on how human resource runs throughout the 20 stores. Tanglewood needs external and internal training for these managers and continuously update them with new policies and guidelines, to keep Tanglewood with the other competitors. Another way to attract employees to Tanglewood is there high education quality that is expected of them when applying. This will lead to our last factor of quantity exhibit the short or long term focus.
  • 27. Staffing Levels: 8. Overstaff or Understaff CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY In our opinion, Tanglewood Company is overstaffed. Even though, Tanglewood managers are more cooperative with all its employees’ suggestions regarding the company’s operations but still it needs to decrease. We really think that by decreasing the number of employees and increasing the responsibility staffing, training in each department will make the work atmosphere stronger and job performance will be done in a shorter time and also saving money for the company.
  • 28. Staffing Levels: 9. Short or Long-Term Focus CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY Setting a goal is easy for a company, however, balancing and how to achieve that goal is challenging. The human resource functions for Tanglewood among the regions has less experience because they are not connecting with each other very well. The short focus plan has to improve the human resource function and develop and increase the knowledge of their department. This will lead to the long term focus that will help them understand how to reach their long term focus. Most talent management program is focusing on a long term focus and this is the only way human resource can be successful in Tanglewood.
  • 29. Staffing Quality CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY 1. Person/Job or Person/Organization Match 2. Specific or General KSAOs 3. Exceptionak or Acceptable Workforce Quality 4. Active or Passive Diversity

  • 32. Staffing Quality: 2. Specific or General KSAOs CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY We would go for the second choice more than the first. Staff that have a variety of knowledge and experience will serve best at this company. Tanglewood needs someone who can adapt to the agile requirement of the company and changing business world. As the company expands, many changes will take place. Someone who can fit both now and future will be perfect if the candidate has a general KSAOs.
  • 33. Staffing Quality: 3. Exceptional or Acceptable Workforce Quality CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY The first is the best choice for the organization. The employees are an asset for Tanglewood. The company cannot settle for cheap labour or average staff which could threaten the success of the company built over the years. Plus Tanglewood does not believe so much in a flexible workforce like temporary workers. Staff turnover is not so healthy for a company. Tanglewood should continue its culture of valuing its employees and ensuring core good workforce is always maintained over the years.
  • 34. Staffing Quality: 4. Active or Passive Diversity CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY A diverse workforce is good for today however the question is whether the workforce understands the local need of the place, the demand patterns, customer expectations and culture to name a few. We would recommend a passive workforce for Tanglewood to maintain the close relationship shared among employees ***Employment in US follows EEU my lecturer said so my answer isnt so correct for this case study. We could promote active diversity
  • 35. Recommendation/Conclusion CASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGYCASE 1: TANGLEWOOD STORES AND STAFFING STRATEGY Since the aim of Tanglewood is now to expand, their management must understand KSAOs and motivation of its employees, how to attract, retain, perform and satisfy customers. We are giving recommendations, but the organization must be careful in the sudden change after many years through our consultation and centralization of decisions by Penchiala and Anchley. A strong workforce with skills, qualifications, education and knowledge and customer satisfaction / loyalty will surely lead Tanglewood to have the competitive advantage to stay ahead of its competitors and be a price / product leader.
