Furthermore, the human resource planning strategies help in the adjusting of the people within, outside and coming into a company. Efficient HR planning tactics are necessary for the development of further strategic organizational planning strategies (Bryson, 2018).Degree and Nature of the AlignmentThe strategic organizational planning and human resource planning aspects of Westpac have been observed to be strongly aligned.Reason 1Development of person centric managers and working placeThe strategic organizational planning aspects of the company have led to the development of person-centric managers and working place for example the company is managing to divide its wokforce into five main divisions. REASON 2Establishment of proper workforce linking its business strategies and plans in an appropriate manner Human resource planning strategies have led to the establishment of a proper workforce that manages to link with its business strategies and plans in an appropriate manner. This led to the initiation of proper HR planning in accordance with capabilities.For instance, the establishment of proper programs on the basis of the needs of the business and workforce planning(Wolf & Floyd, 2017).      b. Two Potential Challenges for the Westpac HR Professional in ensuring the Alignment of Human Resource Planning and Strategic Organizational Planning Challenges faced by the Westpac in ensuring the alignment of the strategic organizational planning aspectsChallenge 1 human resource planning include the difficulties in the management of the culturally diverse range of people that comprise the working force. The differences in the measure of satisfaction gained by the employees often prove to be the important factor.The difficulties faced by offices are the communication and collaboration between the different members of the diverse workforce was not satisfactory.Challenge 2 Difficulty of managing a very large working force in the aspects of skill management and position allocation such as the inappropriate management of the large workforce of some of the branches led to the inadequate completion of the desired planning objectives and the development of the further strategies (Kavanagh & Johnson, 2017).Westpac has to manage the positioning appropriately for the reduction of these kinds of challenges.       2.2 Process and Methods of Human Resource Planninga. Effectiveness of the Human Resource Planning Methods of WestpacThe human resource planning methods initiated by Westpac have been noted to be fairly effective and appropriate in a consistent and efficient manner..Link between the developed business strategies and the existing conditions of the current working force has been one of the main reasons for the continued success of the organization.Example it has established a proper business program based mainly on the needs of the business and the existing working force.

Since the department of human resource planning is not one that generates revenue over the course of time, the consideration of the expenses, expenditure and associated costs has to be initiated very carefully. This becomes difficult in the cases of companies  that are large and have many functioning branches in different regions across the globe.Another potential challenge is the difficulty of managing the perception of the employees regarding human resources. Since a large working force comprises of several different people, each group has a different viewpoint regarding the effectiveness of the implemented HR planning strategies (Katzenbach & Smith, 2015).2.3 Development of High Performance and Global Mindset Managers and Employeesa.

The main points for consideration while initiating the development of a high performance working team in a diverse working place include the aspects of commitment, communication, design, execution and learning. The inculcation of the qualities of commitment and communication in the desired manner is absolutely important since employees are more than likely to provide their all for the completion of the allocated tasks and responsibilities in an appropriate manner in the long run (while proper communication can help in appropriate information transfer). The use of the 7Cs of effective communication has to be ensured in the framework of team development, with the communication process needing to include the qualities of completeness, conciseness, consideration, clarity, concreteness, courtesy and correctness in an appropriate way (Buchanan & McCalman, 2018).  The designing of the main plans in accordance with the requirements and needs of the working force is also essential, with the initiation of the qualities of task execution and leaning within the workers also enabling the completion of the main operations in the best possible way.  The employees with these kinds of mindsets can also be flexible enough in working with workers belonging to different cultural backgrounds, to the point of ensuring the presence of high-performance teams and groups within a multi-cultural working . (Argyris, 2017). Companies like Westpac can gain relevant gains upon using these kinds of model for managing their work force in the desired manner.      b. Application of Global Mindset Model in the Development of Global Mindset Working ForceA proper global mindset model consists of several points and factors. The consideration, acknowledgement and eventual implementation of these points are essential for the sake of ensuring the development of a global mindset working force (by a company like Westpac). As such, the main factors that need to be included within the company working force include the recognition of the cultural biases and values of the employees, the determination of the employee personality traits, the determination of the main aspects of the workplaces, the development of proper intercultural relationships . The latter entity manages to determine the cultural biases and personality traits of the potential employees during their recruitment, with the flexible personnel being chosen for eventual selection in the long run (Argyris, 2017).
