Solution

A PESTEL analysis is a framework used to analyse the macro-environmental factors that may have an impact on an organisation as evidenced by CIPD (2023a). PESTEL stands for Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental and Legal.

Political factors:

Recent legislation on equal pay could impact GA Pensions’ reward strategy. The Equality Act of 2010 reinforced the need for equal pay for equal work regardless of gender (Supervisor & Malla, 2018). This means GA Pensions needs to ensure pay levels are objectively justified and there are no unexplained gender pay gaps. This could increase pay transparency and lead to adjustments in some roles to align with market rates.

Economic factors:

Fluctuations in the economy may influence reward decisions. During economic growth, organisations may have more flexibility to offer higher pay raises and bonuses to attract and retain talent (Tatenda & Moment, 2014).). In a recession, budgets are tighter so rewards may be limited to core benefits with a focus on non-monetary recognition. GA Pensions will need strategic reward packages that are sustainable through different economic cycles.

Social factors:

Changing social and family dynamics impact the reward environment as evidenced by Tomlin et al (2017). Younger generations increasingly value flexible working to balance career and personal life. Offering flexibility allows GA Pensions to attract and engage younger employees by catering to this social trend. It helps portray the company as family-friendly and modern in its employment practices. However, flexibility must be applied judiciously to avoid accusations of favoritism. a holistic consideration of the political, economic and social landscape through a PESTEL lens can help GA Pensions design reward strategies that are socially responsible, compliant with legal requirements, and responsive to macro-trends, thus strengthening their employer value proposition over the long run.‌

In this report, an evaluation of various sourcing approaches used in sourcing has been pursued.
Through a focus on Saudi Downtown Company (SDC), sourcing of Information Technology (IT) systems post COVID due to popularity of remote working in the different departments has been identified as the spend area.
In the evaluation process, ifferent tools including Mendelow Matrix, Kraljic Matrix, SWOT analysis, Hierarchy of need, and Peter Block Grid have been adopted in the analysis.
The different sourcing approaches have been identified and their influence for the organisation best practice noted. At the end, by using Cater’s 10C’s tool, supplier appraisal has been carried out for the identified spend area.

The findings in this assessment evidence that SDC adopts various sourcing approaches for their different spend categories. There is nevertheless a challenge in embracing strategic sourcing in their operations. Further, the organisation use different sourcing approaches including multiple sourcing, single sourcing, sole sourcing and dual sourcing. All these sourcing approaches are distinct and involved in engagement of different suppliers, only one supplier involved, monopolistic suppliers engaged and suppliers with demands which conflict respectively. In line with the findings and conclusions obtained in this assessment, various recommendations have been suggested for SDC. They include;

To select best sourcing approach informed by the characteristics of their spend categories
Ensure various legislations and policies are initiated to aid use of technologies and innovation in their sourcing process
Implement a fully streamlined PS&M strategy with entire stakeholders interests prioritised
Improve information flow and supporting their sourcing strategy by leverage on different approaches (RFQ, RFP and e-Auction) integrated to product lifecycle
