Introduction
Development of a strategic plan for the development of strategic policies and procedure for the various departments and working of the organization is very important. The strategic policies and procedures help the organizational manager to hire the right human talent for the company that can help in achieving the organizational goals of the company. In the given case it was identified that the company in focus VTI Groups, operating in Melbourne, Australia is planning an expansion of business in the e-commerce category[footnoteRef:1]. The aim is to capture the online market segment for the products and services offered by the company. The change in the working procedures demands the change in the working policies of the company. Along with that new recruitments are also needed to be done to achieve the desired outcome from the expansion. The given report analysis the cu
ent strategic planning of the company and suggest better HR policies for recruitment, selections and induction process. It will also provide an example to develop a complete process of recruitment, selection and induction processes for some certain positions in the given organization [footnoteRef:2].

Critical analysis of the cu
ent strategic and operational plan
The case in focus is about a company that is expanding its business in the e-commerce sector. As the company was initially operating in the traditional retail and supplier operation system there is a lack of knowledge and information required to run the e-commerce business effectively. The company has decided to offer all its product range on the online platform for which they will develop the company’s website and will get into collaboration with other e-commerce vendors [footnoteRef:3]. [3: Tony Bennett, "Exploring The Potential Of The Union Equality Representative", Employee Relations 32, no. 5 (2010): 509-525.]
The cu
ent analysis shows that the company needs to develop the HR policies and procedures as per the need of the required staff and the qualification. As the case study says that company wants to majorly recruit the former staff in the company by providing them complete training and promoting them to various new positions. The recruitment and selection procedure the company cu
ently following says that the members of the company can apply for the new job opening just like any other applicant. No diversity will be acknowledged when conducting the recruitment, selection, and induction process will be taking place in the organization. All applicants coming from outside or inside of the company will be handled in the same way and the right candidate will be appointed for the position. Though, this procedure may not be fair when it is taken in consideration for the former employees. As these employees are not technologically trained they will not be able to stand against the competition of the outsider. This makes the policy contradicting with the idea of keeping the former employees in the organization. The company should provide training to the employees and the best should be recruited in the new positions. Then, the left-out places could be asked for new recruits [footnoteRef:4]. [4: Ian Drummond and Ian Stone, "Exploring The Potential Of High Performance Work Systems In Smes", Employee Relations 29, no. 2 (2007): 192-207.]
