5. Generating Alternatives

As Vice-President (HR) it is important to understand the situation of the company as well the priority needs of employees.  Explain the entire status-of-affairs in which the company is placed in, either by issuing a notice or by conducting a staff meeting.  Tap the need that company requires people who lead the company at this moment by extraordinary skills and company is not looking for those who would like to work for the company.  Young, dynamic, energetic, enthusiastic and motivated staff are required who can contribute to the growth of the company in a short p of time. The company is seriously on the look-out for highly skilled and highly talented and experienced people.

7. Chosen Alternative

At one point of time, every company passes through some difficult stage, which must not stand as a hindrance to the reputation of a company.  Reputation of a company can never be affected with human resources whereas it is affected only when a company incurs loss or performs poorly in its business operations.  Staying honest even in times of crisis helps a company to regain its position irrespective of competitors pull-down strategies.
