Week 2’s assignment builds on Week 1’s assignment and will be part of the final assignment—a Global HR Acquisition Plan. In your previous week’s readings, you learned about the history and evolution of human resource management. For this week, the timeline continues with the process of evaluating the demographics of a selected country as it relates to talent management. This sort of evaluation allows organizations to have a better idea of the complexities that have to be planned for in the global market. Specifically, you will expand your understanding of the challenges experienced in distance corporate leadership between the parent country (the United States) and the host country (India) relating to talent retention. For this assignment, you will develop a Multi-Level Talent Management Plan.

For this assignment, you will

• Evaluate multi-level approaches (i.e., approaches targeting the parent country, the host country, and third country nationals) to talent management.
  • Explain the competencies necessary to manage employees from home headquarters, employees from India, and third-country nationals.
• Devise strategies to address recruitment, selection, succession planning, and retention.
  • Explain how the shortage of talent in India impacts these elements.
  • Assess the availability of low-cost labor from India and how that impacts these elements.
