2024/2025 Walmart Strategic Human ResourceManagement Case Study Solution
QUESTION # 01:
How HR Strategy can be Walmart’s competitive advantages?? What is the importance of
strategy setting with respect to Human Resources and how organizations can mobilize it??
Effective human resource management will create a high perspective teamwork, fair competition
and respective environment. Especially in the large-size company, Walmart has more than 1.6
million associates to work, so human resource
management plays the most important role in the organization. Furthermore, in Walmart, there is
never called “employee” or “worker” while it is called “associate” since the founder believed
that there is no boss and workers, as well as the people who work for War-Mart are partners to
make profit together.
HR strategy is competitive advantages by followings ways:
1. The HR strategy is to focus Walmart’s employees to do everything they possibly can to
hold down cost and, they do. Whenever Walmart is successful in lowering its expenses, it
passes those savings along to its customers in the form of lower prices putting even more
pressure on its competitors.
2. HR’s role is to focus Walmart’s leaders and employees on continuous learning,
continuous improvement, superior execution, employee empowerment, and employee
ownership all designed to create synergistic teamwork. Walmart teams are highly
productive but at the same time the staffing levels are lean.
3. For Walmart, its corporate-level strategy and business-level strategy, as I analyzed is the
low cost leadership. Then I’ll focus on its HR strategy. Walmart builds its low cost leader
on employment policies that help it to achieve extraordinarily low employment costs.
Through low-cost HR activities, Walmart tried to maintain it’s predominate competitive
advantage.
