3. Acquisition Strategies
Organizations such as Google have continued to develop
acquisition strategies. This can be specifically observed
in their employee benefits package and incentive
programs. Google is known and recognized worldwide
as an organization that cares about its employees. The
extensive programs, offers, and incentives entice many
prospective and potential candidates. Employees while
at work, have the option to play video games, clean
their clothes, or even go swimming.

4. Talent Retention Strategies
• Google has also demonstrated its ability to manage their talent. Not only is
there a well-established and organized HRM, the organization improves the
manager’s ability to manage. The organization isn’t structured in a triangle tier
with managers and supervisors dominating the top. The organizational
structure is horizontal.
• In this manner, the culture does not mandate the employees submit to the
demands of management due to their title. Managers are often nominated
into their position by their peers and their respect is earned by their leadership
qualities and potential.
• In addition Google, “uses employee reviews of managers-similar to instructor
reviews that college students fill out at the end of the semester-to suggest
courses to managers”, (Walker, 2012). This ensures that management is
meeting their objective and HRM to doing what it can to retain its employees.
Employee satisfaction is fundamental to employee retention. Ensuring that
employees have a voice and their needs are being addressed and assist HRM in
talent management.

People management is forward looking at
Google. As a result, it develops predictive models

their forecasts of upcoming people management
problems and opportunities. It also uses analytics
to produce more effective workforce planning,
which is essential in a rapidly growing and
changing firm.
