Read the case given and answer the questions: Balm Inc. has been a well-known name in the chemical industry for 50 years. It holds a good market share and is also involved in manufacturing various chemicals used in various industries like Consumer goods, Pharmaceuticals, Pesticides, Leather, and various other industries. Hence, Balm Inc. has two big plants, namely Sleek and Geek, for the manufacturing of chemicals. Sleek is the parent plant, and Geek was started 15 years back. Mohsin is a young, dynamic, and committed employee in the accounts department of the Geek plant. Mohsin has been working with Balm Inc. for more than six years. He is an MBA finance graduate with versatile knowledge in Finance. Moreover, his committed nature was never a question and was known almost in the entire plant. However, Mohsin always looks forward to transferring to the parent Plant Sleek as he feels he can get so much to learn there. Mohsin has been applying for the same for the last three years. Every time he used to wait eagerly for the transfer list, which is usually displayed on the first day of July every year. Eventually, his name was not there on the list all the time. He didn't take it seriously the first two times and waited for another chance. Subsequently, when his application was rejected for the third time, he was disturbed. Finally, he decided that it was time to speak with the HR team. He took an appointment where both were present during the meeting, Anas Head HR Ms. Maryam, head of Finance. Curious, Mohsin directly started with the question, "Why is my name not there in the transfer list"? "I want to know the reason for the rejection of my application." Even though there is no difference in compensation and benefits, he still always wanted to be there. Undoubtedly, both Anas and Maryam were shocked by the tone and reaction of Mohsin. Still, they maintained their temper and tried to be cool. Maryam started, "Mohsin, You are one of the best performing employees in the department. You and Eid, your classmate, joined the organization together. Still, you got more training and opportunities for various courses than him, can you deny the fact." Mohsin got understood that he was privileged still; he maintained the furious anger and said, "Yes, it is very true, but the fact is he got transferred in his second application. Now he is in Sleek, and I am still here." Anas started, "But, Mohsin, why do you apply for the

transfer every year? The compensation, benefits, timing, culture, everything is same in both the plants". There prevailed an absolute silence. Mohsin broke the silence, "All are same, but the finance department is big there with lot many employees. I can perform more, I can shine more." Maryam Says, "Ok Mohsin, now I understood your issue. Being the head of finance I am giving my Pre-concern If Mohsin applies for transfer next year I don't have any issue in giving clearance to him". HR Head was not convinced with the happenings because Maryam was the reason for his rejection of transfer. He recollected the conversation between him and Maryam on the transfer application of Mohsin Maryam says, "Anas, Mohsin is very dynamic. At a very young age, he is excelling well. I want to mold him in various financial aspects. If we put him in Sleek, he may not be exposed to all aspects as the department is big. Moreover", Maryam continues, Junaid, who is sub head of Finance, will get retired in 2 years. So I wish Mohsin to take over the position." Now, Anas taught both Maryam and Mohsin are not in a situation to understand. So he planned that the next day he would talk with both of them and make the things and intentions of Maryam transparent. Anas was shattered the next day when he received the resignation letter from Mohsin stating that due to personal reasons, he is resigning from the job.

Assignment Questions: M.M.10 Q1. Which concepts of HRM can you correlate this case with? (2.5M) Q2. According to you, who is at fault in the present case? (2.5M) Q3. What do you think Anas should do in such a situation? (2.5M) Q4. What are factors do you think are essential for organizations who want to retain the best talent and still be competitive in the present times? (2.5M) Answers: Q1. Which concepts of HRM can you correlate this case with? Employment and talent management is a key concept in human resource management discussed in this case. This may be seen in the way the HRM department handles employee interactions with the company, and how they take various activities to improve this connection (Aswathappa. K. 2008). Mohsin, an accountant at a Greek factory, is an excellent example of talent management and employee management, since he has been looking for a move for three years. When it comes to Mohsin's transfer, he's motivated by his ambition to learn more and improve his abilities in various areas of expertise. Mohsin has benefited from additional training opportunities provided by Balm Inc.'s HRM department, as highlighted by Anas and Maryam, who work in the division (Schreuder & Noorman, 2019). The HRM staff of Balm Inc. clearly understands the need of effective personnel management, despite the fact that Mohsin was enraged. Employees in the HRM department are given hope, training, and a learning atmosphere in order to prepare them for future responsibilities and initiatives. Q2. According to you, who is at fault in the present case?

The HR administrator and the Finance Manager, in my opinion, deserve some of the responsibility for this. Their transfer requests were denied for a variety of reasons, and the HR administrator failed to implement any procedures that may have clarified this. Because the finance manager hasn't done any research on future departmental needs, he doesn't tell Mohsin that he plans to move up in the company in two years, which would help him advance professionally. It would have been impossible for Mohsin to quit from Balm Inc. had the finance manager been available. Q3. What do you think Anas should do in such a situation? When the finance manager informs Anas that he intends to transfer and promote him, he should do it immediately. Mohsin's worries need to be addressed, and the best way to do so is to write him a letter informing him of the department's objectives and commitment. It is critical to understand how Mohsin will have many chances to succeed before his time comes. The chance will help him to improve professional skills and boost his abilities. Anas should explain to Mohsin that the existing working environment is designed to help him flourish professionally rather than to move him, which would severely hamper his development. Anas should. Rather than resigning, Mohsin could tell Anas that his resources are being used to prepare him for a top position. Q4. What are factors do you think are essential for organizations who want to retain the best talent and still be competitive in the present times? Talent development encompasses a wide range of activities targeted at enhancing employee abilities and connecting them to new possibilities that will help the company achieve its objectives.

Prioritize the retention and advancement of employees in order to help them achieve their long-term professional aspirations. If the workers are promoted and maintained for longer periods of time via higher remuneration when their abilities develop, they will feel like they are part of a larger team. (Dessler Gary 2010) An employee who is actively involved in their work might learn about the organization's long-term objectives and the management's perspective on their responsibilities. Fears and uncertainties are reduced when employees are more engaged at work (Morethe, Swarts & Schultz, 2020). Efforts should be made to address the concerns of workers by the management.
