这个多方法案例探讨了人力资源管理实施的变化如何在经济衰退的气候下影响绩效指标。定性人力资源成果数据映射到财务指标，探讨通过强硬的人力资源管理实践中的一个主要的英国零售商。尽管在整个经济衰退期间实现了创纪录的利润，但该组织对劳动力市场状况的恶化做出了战略性反应，首先是保持运营灵活性，然后是机会主义地扩大工作岗位并加强工作，以帮助实现财务指标的即时收益，包括在3年内每位员工的利润增长37%。这些成果是通过偏离以承诺为基础的人力资源管理办法取得的，这表明人力资源管理软系统在紧缩或裁员时期的脆弱性。
This multi-method case explores how change in HRM implementation can impact performance metrics in a recessionary climate. Qualitative HR outcome data are mapped against financial metrics to explore adoption of hard-line HRM practices in a major UK retailer. Despite record profits throughout the recession, the organisation responded strategically to worsening conditions in the labour market, firstly to maintain operational flexibility, but then to opportunistically enlarge jobs and intensify work to help achieve immediate gains in financial metrics, including a gain of 37% in profit per employee over 3 years. These gains were achieved by derailing commitment-based approaches to HRM, pointing towards the vulnerability of soft HRM systems during times of austerity or retrenchment.
