The case study question:
What are the impact of declining resources for the Human Resource Management functions in government?
This solution explains how government employment was once considered a "lifetime career" and now with declining resources (mainly revenue) - this is no longer a given. Lack of funding results in severe challenges for HR to attract, and retain, the best talent for jobs. Additionally, once employees are hired, there are no guarantees for "permanent" employment as in recent years, many government agencies at the Federal, State and local areas have been subjected to mass layoffs and furlough days.
