Goal Choice

My chosen goal for this project is product development. With the rapid changes in technology, the company needs to develop new products through innovation to remain competitive in the market. The will also help the Apple company grow its market share. The products full of creativity and imagination will have formative and invisible influence on the society. This goal will also help the organization provide its customers with products which align with their changing lifestyles. This will make the organization’s products to stand out in the market.

Attract

Employees must be action oriented, intelligent and flexible to help the organization achieve this goal. Employees need to be able to take action and take chances. Although it may sometimes lead to failure, they will lead to success in most cases. This will boost the product development goal of the organization. Intelligent employees tend to be innovative. They do research on their own and can spot opportunities that the organization can use to drive this goal. Flexibility is also another key element that can help the organization achieve this goal. Instead of resisting change blindly, good employees adopt and embrace it to help the organization achieve its objectives. The organization will always come up with changes to develop new products and therefore flexible employees will play an important role to enable it achieve that goal.

The organization will take talent seriously and differentiate itself to attract qualified employees. Most employees want their talent to be natured (Wisse, Barelds & Rietzschel, 2015). Embracing talent in the organization will attract qualified employees and this will build and support product development due to the motivation which comes with talent. The organization will also have a good employment value proposition to attract qualified employees. This will ensure that the organization hires qualified employees who believe in what they are doing and this will promote product development in the Apple Company. These strategies ensure that we attract people from different religion, ethnic communities and regions thus building a diverse workforce. People from different diversities look at things from different perspectives hence promote innovation.

Develop

The best way to train employees is face to face. Face to face training enhances communication and develops relationships which are vital in the success of any organization. Good communication will enable employees to work together towards achieving this goal. Training of new employees should cover business ethics and organizational culture. This will enable them to become part and parcel of the organization. Existing employees need to be trained on current industry trends and to improve their skills. This enables them to relate the organizational goals and the tasks they are doing. It is important to use mentors in training to ensure that employees value diversity and work as a team (Barrett et al., 2019). 

Retain

Organizations need to engage employees in everything they do and make sure that their salaries are competitive to retain high performing employees. The disadvantage of engaging employees is that some of them may resist important changes without taking time to think about the importance of the changes (Aruna & Anitha, 2015). The advantage is that employees will be open to air their grievances which provide a good working environment. The importance of offering competitive salaries is that it improves employee’s satisfaction hence good performance. The disadvantage is that the organization may be spending much of their profits on salaries hence affecting its growt (Anitha, 2016). This strategies increase the employee’s satisfaction hence play a significant role in retaining a diverse team.
