SWOT
analysis: What is it?
Rangkuti (2013), A SWOT analysis is one of
the tools used to formulate strategies based on employee and company
circumstances that can affect company performance. These factors are classified
as internal and external factors, namely the relationship between the business
and the community that creates and supports it.
Both the organization's strengths and weaknesses
are internal variables that may be managed. Opportunities and threats are
elements that are external to the organization and outside of HR's control.
A SWOT analysis, which is an important tool in decision making used by managers, can also be an efficient tool for exploring the quality of human resources and their further direction. Businesses and organizations mainly use SWOT analysis when solving problems regarding the management and strategic targeting of systems, sectors, processes, and marketing campaigns.
