In the late 1960?s, a devastating 80 percent of the black freshmen entering the engineering program dropped out.

Also flexible benefit plans can help small employers provide necessary benefits in a way that helps ease rising costs.Some advantages of a cafeteria plan are that it is an excellent way for the employee to pay fewer taxes by allowing a company to deduct the cost of certain eligible benefits before taxes.

Additionally, as temporary and leasing agencies provide more training for the employees that they place with companies, this has made use of such agencies more attractive to many companies. A related reason for increased demand of such agencies is that many core employees are hired after a stint as temporary employees, which reduces recruitment and staffing costs for the companies utilizing temporary agencies.

Thinking holistically about HRM may lead to a greater degree of success simply because changes envisaged in one area of an organisation (e.g. structures) are more likely to work because all the knock-on effects of such a change have been considered (e.g. recruitment, selection and induction policies).Key
