Introduction  

As the demand for electric vehicles increases, the industry has seen significant growth in EV charging infrastructure. One of the key elements that underpin EV Station success is effective human capital management and an organizational culture that aligns with business objectives (2023)(Dereli, 2015; Frank et al., 2019). The electric vehicle industry is a sector that is constantly evolving and transforming. In the face of increasing competition, EV Stations need to understand that human resources are the main asset in operating and running the charging station (Lisnawati & Permadi, 2018; Rusminingsih, 2010). Therefore, a human capital management analysis is essential to ensure that qualified, trained and skilled human resources are available to run the day-to-day operations of the charging station. This includes planning, recruiting, training and developing employees to meet the industry's evolving demands.

Organizational culture is crucial in creating a productive and innovative work environment at EV Station (KHOERUNNISA, 2022). A positive and goal-focused culture can increase employee motivation, collaboration, and creativity in finding sustainable solutions for the electric vehicle industry. Therefore, analyzing the existing organizational culture and ensuring that the company values are aligned with the vision and mission of the charging station is an important step in ensuring business success in the electric vehicle era (Wistiasari et al., 2023).

With the entry of new players into the electric vehicle charging station industry, especially in a fast-changing environment, it is important to have a deep understanding of human capital management and organizational culture. This analysis helps new players to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in terms of human capital and culture present in the environment (Gerasimov et al., 2019; Saebah & Merthayasa, 2023). Thus, new players can design appropriate strategies to optimize human capital management and create a culture that supports growth and sustainability in this dynamic electric vehicle industry.

In formulating strategic planning, it must refer to the company's vision and mission. Furthermore, determine short-term, medium-term and long-term goals (Kucharčíková et al., 2015; Serpa, 2016). Short-term goals have a time span of 0 to 2 years, medium-term goals 3 to 5 years, long-term > 5 years. Then conduct a 3-stage analysis, namely Input Stage, Matching Stage, Decision Stage, Porter's Generic Strategy and end by creating a Lean Business Canvas Canvas. As stated in the company's vision and mission, eV-Station is committed to foster public awareness of the use of green energy in the hope of reducing the greenhouse effect and the effects of global warming on a broader level. The company's short-term goals cover a period of 0-2 years, which is the company's initial phase to build the business and introduce products and services to the people of West Java area, especially Bekasi. eV-Station's medium-term goals focus on branding expansion, product development and marketing expansion, Operational goals include SPKLU unit expansion and ISO implementation (Sulaksono, 2015; Sutrisno, 2019). Human capital targets the implementation of a strong and consistent corporate culture, building an innovative organization and employee career development.

If you look at long-term goals, you will see how the business position of eV-Station is formed and developed after 5 years (Muis et al., 2018). To support the long-term goals of marketing, operational, human capital and finance, eV-Station is required to be able to manage and utilize assets to the maximum and make efforts to improve the best service to consumers as well as financial management and cost optimization. In risk management, eV-Station will integrate risk management activities into every activity and function of the company and become a routine activity and conduct continuous improvement.

 

Method

Formulating strategic planning must refer to the company's vision and mission. Furthermore, short-term, medium-term and long-term goals must be determined Short-term goals have a time span of 0 to 2 years, medium-term goals 3 to 5 years, long-term > 5 years. Then do a 3-stage analysis, namely Input Stage, Matching Stage, Decision Stage, Porter's Generic Strategy and end by making a Lean Business Canvas Canvas .

1.      Short-term Objectives

There are several short-term goals (0-2 years) that eV-Station wants to achieve in the field of Human Capital, among others: 100% fulfillment of employees in accordance with the expected competencies; create an organizational structure in accordance with the company's organizational needs; soft skills training, standard safety procedures and product knowledge; and KPI Goals Setting.

2.      Medium Term Objective

For medium-term goals (3-5 years) to be achieved by eV-Station in the field of Human Capital, among others: Employees understand and implement organizational culture strongly and consistently; build an innovative organization in creating continuous improvement in order to provide the best service to customers; employee career development

3.      Long-term Objective

For long-term goals (6-10 years) that eV-Station wants to achieve in the field of Human Capital include: Worker knowledge and Employee Engagement

4.      Input Stage

The Input stage of the business planning framework consists of the IFE Matrix, EFE Matrix, and Competitive Profile Matrix (CPM). This will summarize the basic information needed by the company in making a strategy formulation. This strategy can be used to determine the business targets of the company.

5.      Matching Stage

David, (2019) states that the matching stage of the strategy formulation framework consists of SWOT and IE Matrix. SWOT Matrix is an important matching tool that can help managers to develop 4 types of strategies; SO strategies (Strengths-Opportunities), WO strategies (Weaknesses-Opportunities), ST strategies (Strengths-Threats) and WT strategies (Weaknesses-Threats).

6.      Decision Stage

Bambang, (2023) states any additional strategies resulting from the matching analysis can be discussed and added to the list of viable alternative strategy options. Based on the results of the SWOT matrix and IE matrix, eV-Station determines two alternative strategies that eV-Station will choose: service development strategies and offline and online market penetration strategies.

7.      Porter's Generic Strategy

Porter's generic strategy describes how the company pursues competitive advantage in the selected market scope (Febrian et al., 2022). Based on the results of Competitive Force analysis, SWOT Matrix and Competitive Advantage owned by eV-Station, the strategy chosen is Differentation Focus Strategy. By applying the Differentation Focus Strategy, it is expected to reduce the threat of competition by offering different and more attractive service innovations than competitors.

8.      Lean Business Canvas

The Lean Business Canvas Model is a one-page business plan method created by Ash Maurya, which was adapted from the Business Model Canvas by Alexander Osterwalder. Gary (2015) states that Lean Canvas helps deconstruct the business model into nine different sub-sections which are then systematically tested in order of highest to lowest risk and is a business model validation tool.

Seen in the table above, there are several ways carried out by Human Capital in achieving its goals, for the short-term starting from the process of recruiting employees EV-Station will use online recruitment (online interviews and tests) and offline (User Interviews) (Imbron & Pamungkas, 2021). The company will provide job vacancy information through social media and through the electric vehicle community then the EV-Station organizational structure will be managed in accordance with predetermined human capital objectives. Human resources in the company environment will have their respective positions, responsibilities and functions, there are three steps that the company will take in the employee recruitment process, as follows (Pratiwi, 2022):

a.       Analyze employee needs (positions and positions). analyze employee needs and make HR planning. The results of the analysis are outlined in the form of a HR needs document submitted to the User (relevant Manager) for employee selection.

b.      Director Approval. The HR needs document that has been confirmed by the User (Related Manager) is then presented to the Director of the company for approval.

c.       Employee recruitment process. After the employee needs document has been presented by the User (Related Manager) and has received approval from the Director, the document is forwarded to the HC/GA Unit.

For the medium term, EV-Station will determine the values that each employee will use as a reference in taking actions, directing, managing, evaluating performance, setting priorities and so on. Values are a deeper layer of organizational culture. These values are intentionally socialized and instilled throughout the organization. These values become the moral and behavioral guide for the organization. EV Station's corporate values are (1) Smart, (2) Integrity, (3) Agile, (4) Professional which is abbreviated as SIAP.

 

 

In addition to SIAP, the company also provides promotions and rewards for employees who excel. The compensation system currently implemented at EV-Station is financial and non-financial and then for financial compensation is divided into two, namely direct and indirect. In addition, several indicators can be used as guidelines or references to promote an employee, including: employee work experience, expertise, a combination of work experience and expertise owned by the employee (Angraini, 2022).

Employee work experience is one of the main indicators for considering promotions. Work experience reflects a deep understanding of duties and responsibilities within the organization (Sagita & Hamdi, 2023). Employees who have worked for a significant period of time often have important contextual knowledge, an understanding of the company culture, and the ability to overcome challenges that may arise. Evaluation of work experience includes the extent to which the employee has taken initiative, tackled critical projects, and demonstrated consistent growth during their time with the company.

Expertise possessed by employees is a key indicator for promotion. Expertise involves a combination of technical knowledge, skills and interpersonal abilities. Employees who have expertise relevant to their job duties and responsibilities will be more effective in overcoming complex challenges. Increased expertise, especially in relation to the latest industry or technology developments, can contribute significantly to productivity and innovation within the organization (Wardani et al., 2016).

Combining work experience and expertise forms a solid foundation for promotion considerations. Employees who can combine practical knowledge and skills with a deep understanding of how the organization works have great potential to contribute significantly at a higher level. A careful evaluation of the extent to which employees can apply their expertise in the context of their daily work and the extent to which their experience enables them to adapt to organizational changes can be a decisive factor in promotion decisions. By considering these indicators, companies can ensure that the promotion process is based on a balanced combination of work experience, expertise, and the employee's ability to integrate into the company's mission and vision.

For the long term, the company provides knowledge worker coaching and educational scholarships for employees who excel and are highly dedicated to the company. The company provides coaching and educational scholarships to high-achieving and dedicated employees as a strategy to improve individual performance and development. Through coaching, the company seeks to expand the skills and knowledge of knowledge workers, which in turn can result in more competent and motivated employees. Educational scholarships provide opportunities for employees to pursue higher education or advanced training, creating an environment where personal growth aligns with company growth. By doing so, the company is not only investing in employee skills, but also creating factors that improve retention, productivity and innovation in the long run. This practice also builds the company's image as a workplace that cares about employee development and provides positive benefits to the company's image in the eyes of employees and in the industry as a whole.

As a company engaged in Electric Vehicle Charging, EV-Station will be formed as lean as possible (lean organization) so that it is expected that the cost budget related to human resources is not too large. The data below shows an overview of the planned number of employees and the total cost or budget that must be spent by the company in the next five years.

           

 

Conclusion

As a company engaged in Electric Vehicle Charging, EV-Station's human capital plays a key role in achieving business success and sustainability. Investing in excellent human resources is a key strategy to deal with the dynamics of a rapidly evolving industry, particularly in electric vehicle technology. Upskilling employees through training and development is an important step to ensure that they can cope with the ever-changing technological demands. As work experience increases, employees become more skilled in operating and maintaining complex charging infrastructure.

An employee's work experience, his/her skills, and a combination of work experience and skills such as technical expertise in charging and equipment maintenance are important cornerstones in employee selection and promotion. In an industry that is constantly evolving, companies need to ensure that their staff keep their knowledge up to date and can adapt to the latest technological developments. The combination of substantial work experience and superior technical expertise can create a team capable of delivering electric vehicle charging services efficiently and reliably. Overall, a focus on human capital gives companies a competitive advantage, ensuring that they can lead the way in an era where electric vehicles are increasingly dominating the market.

A smart corporate strategy in human capital management also includes incentives and reward programs to boost employee motivation. Employees who feel recognized and valued tend to be more dedicated and motivated to give their best in their work. Performance-linked incentive programs, such as bonuses or internal promotions, can drive increased productivity and long-term commitment.

By embracing human capital as a key asset, EV charging companies create a work environment that supports employee growth, delivers superior service to customers, and meets the challenges of a changing industry. Overall, effective human capital management contributes significantly to the company's success and sustainability in the era of transformation towards green mobility.
