- 2. HRM (HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT) Concept of HRM: HRM is concerned with the human beings in an organization. “The management of man” is a very important and challenging job because of the dynamic nature of the people. No two people are similar in mental abilities, tacticians, sentiments, and behaviors. People are responsive, they feel, think and act therefore they can not be operated like a machine or shifted and altered like template in a room layout. They therefore need a tactful handing by management personnel like HRM. Human Resources Management is concerned with the “people” dimension in management. Since every organization is made up of people acquiring their services, developing their skills, motivating them to high level of performance and ensuring that they continue to maintain their commitment to the organization are essential to achieve organizational objectives. Definitions of HRM: There are two different definitions. The first definition of HRM is that “It is the process of managing people in organizations in a structured and thorough manner.”(1) This covers the fields of staffing (hiring people), retention of people, pay and perks setting and management, performance management, change management and taking care of exits from the company to round off the activities. This is the traditional definition of HRM which leads some experts to define it as a modem version of the Personnel Management function that was used earlier.
- 3. The second definition of HRM encompasses “The management of people in organizations from a macro perspective, i.e. managing people in the form of a collective relationship between management and employees.”(2) This approach focuses on the objectives and outcomes of the HRM functions. It means that the HR function in contemporary organizations is concerned with the notions of people enabling, people development and a focus on making the “employment relationship” fulfilling for both the management and employees. Nature of HRM: HRM is a management function that helps managers to recruit, select, train and develop members for an organization. HRM is concerned with people’s dimension in organizations. The following aspects constitute the core of HRM: HRM involves the Application of Management Functions and Principles. The functions and principles are applied for acquiring, developing, maintaining and providing remuneration to employees in organization. Decision Relating to Employees must be integrated. Decisions on different aspects of employees must be consistent with other human resource (HR ) decisions. Decisions made influence the Effectiveness of an Organization. Effectiveness of an organization will result in betterment of services to customers in the form of high quality products supplied at reasonable costs.

Societal Objectives: To be ethically & socially responsible for the needs and challenges of society while minimizing the negative impact of such demands upon the organization to use their resources for society’s benefits in ethical ways may lead to restriction.

(Anderson and Anderson, 2010)
1.3. Evaluate the role and responsibilities of line managers in your organization and how it supports human resource management functions
The line managers at Harrods are assigned with various roles and responsibilities to manage the core level teams, monitor and control them to achieve the set organizational objectives. They support various HRM functions to delegate and supervise team activities. These are:
Routine work management: line managers at Harrods are responsible for performance management of team for which they plan regular activities, work coordination, observe and identify problems, suggest solutions and monitor everyday functions so that teams can achieve objectives.
Mentoring and Support: the line managers support employees in Harrods to fulfil their roles for which they provide assistance, technical and skill knowledge etc. If an employee has specific need then line managers also provide training by identifying problems and then designing solution. (Farndale, Scullion and Sparrow, 2010)

Monitoring and performance management: line managers at Harrods monitor employees to record and observe individual performance at work. This helps to identify achieved levels and expected outcomes and then design rewards to appraise employee’s performance. Subsequently, it also helps to identify training needs of employees who are lacking and then supporting their development activities to motivate and deal with task management. (Farndale, Scullion and Sparrow, 2010)
1.4. Analyze how legal and regulatory framework impact on human resource management
To maintain effective goal fulfilment, performance and reputation of organization, certain laws and regulatory framework are maintained which helps to achieve effective outcomes and impacts positively on organizational policies. Some of the legal frameworks that are maintained in Harrods for effective employee and work management are:
Equality Act 2010: at Harrods anti-discrimination laws are practised to ensure fair treatment and equality of work for all irrespective of employee’s race, religion, age, gender, disability, nationality etc. Thus diversity of workforce is maintained at Harrods and equality is ensured based on merit.
National Minimum wage ACT 1998: this law helps to ensure fair treatment and compensation management at Harrods depending on nature of work and performance. It states that an employee above 21 years is entitled to minimum wage of 6.50 pounds daily working on an average of 8 hrs irrespective of gender. (Harzing and Pinnington, 2010)
Employment ACT 2008: this law ensures a structured payment, policies and entitled benefits for employees working in Harrods. Example, an employee is entitled to standardised pay, insurance, child care leaves, work time flexibility etc to ensure safety and job security.
Working time directive 1998: this law ensures that employee at Harrods are eligible to get 28 days paid leave annually, work 8 hours/day. Employers cannot force employees to work beyond working time and beyond 40 hours/week an employee is entitled to receive overtime payments.
Trade union and Labour Relation ACT 1992: this law states that strikes are legal if announced to observe trade disputes. Thus, in Harrods efforts are deliberately made to ensure strong employee relationship to avoid trade disputes and maintain a smooth running of organization.

These cannot be disclosed to any employees and any attempt of misconduct is treated as offence without consent or authoritative rights. (Harzing and Pinnington, 2010)
2.1 Analyzing the reasons for human resource planning
Human Resource Planning is the function that determines current inventory of employees within an organization and forecasts future manpower needs to meet its established objectives. It also maintains the match between employee’s skills and job role so that employee’s expectations and desired outcomes are achieved smoothly. (Choi and Ruona, 2010)
Some of the reasons for Human Resource Planning are :
Forecasting need for manpower: as changes in labour market varies with retirement, termination, transfer, cessation or employee turnover, there arises need to predict future manpower need with changes in demand.
Uncertainty management: to manage sudden breakthroughs or uncertainty situations such as machinery breakdown, emergency, strikes etc human resource planning is maintained so that employee’s concerns are heard and dealt properly without any mismanagement.
Change Management: Human resource planning is required to tackle change management such as changes in labour market, new technology, market demands, customer changes or policy changes. HRP identifies and assess the changes and formulates plan to cope with them such as recruitment of new employees, training for development etc to manage changes efficiently. (Choi and Ruona, 2010)
Skill Management of employees: human resource planning identifies current skills and abilities of employees so that they can be developed in shortcoming areas to tackle changes or new challenges at work efficiently to improve their performance and productiveness. HRP designs Training and Skill Enrichment programmes to ensure skill development of employees.
Maintains balance of manpower: to meet with supply and demand of labour according to market changes and maintain the operational cost of organization without any deficit HRP ensures that a balanced flow of manpower is maintained through need assessment, hiring, promotion, transfers etc.
Employee Management: Human resource planning identifies and assesses the skills and performances of employees against set parameters to design structures of appraisals, salary revisions, promotions, rewards etc that helps to meet employee expectations and acts as motivational factor for their contributed efforts. (Choi and Ruona, 2010)
Budget Planning: human resource planning analyses the costs maintained against training, recruitment, operational functions etc and then formulates a budget for organizational planning.
2.2 Outlining the stages involved in planning human resource requirements
Human Resource Planning has three primary stages:
Forecasting: Human resource planning identifies the shortage or surplus of labour and changes in labour market by matching the current employee inventory and predicting future need. For this requirement of manpower HRP analyses the skill gap and the objectives to be achieved by determining shortage or surplus of labour due to transfer, promotion, resignation, staff turnover etc. After this is determined forecast of future manpower needs, strategic changes and development is planned to cope with change management and achieve organizational purposes. This change in labour market can also arise due to uncertainty of market factors like economy, politics, technology etc which influences manpower changes. (Goetsch and Davis, 2014)
Goal setting and Strategic planning: in this stage, human resource planning assesses the set objectives of organization and then assesses the skill requirement that has to be input to achieve those. After this is done, HRP plans recruitment, training and development, budget allocation etc to decide on organizational planning.
Program implementation and evaluation: in this stage, HRP implements the strategic human resource planning that is determined to achieve the goals sets. For this human inventory is assessed and if there is need of recruitment then it is planned. Also if there is need of skill development then training is planned for development of special skills in existing employee. Further budget is allocated after monitoring and assessing all costs included and finally a decision is made for implementation. Next, implementation is followed by evaluation to identify the success and loopholes of planning so that corrective measures can be done to achieve desired outcomes. (Goetsch and Davis, 2014)
2.3 Compare the current recruitment and selection process in the organization with another organization you recommending
The recruitment and selection process in our organization consist of two rounds:
- Telephonic interview: In this round potential candidate are asked basic questions regarding aspirations of life, individual description, prior experience etc to assess the general intelligence and emotional quotient of applicants. The shortlisted candidates are called for Face-to-Face interview.
- Face-to-Face interview: in this round the applicants are interviewed by senior managers who assess the competency level, technical know-how etc. This is followed by psychometric assessment where applicant’s core strengths, stability, attitude etc are assessed through verbal questions or stimulation exercises. The candidates are then tested on their aptitude before the final selection is made. (Snape and Redman, 2010)
The R&S process in Harrods consist of four rounds:
Application to jobs: the vacancy for potential jobs is announced in Harrods both in their stores and on their company portals. The applicants have to fill the online application where they need to answer few competency questions which are based on general topics, teamwork, customer service etc which helps to assess intelligence and eligibility of applicants.
Personality test: the shortlisted applicants are asked to take personality test where assessment of personal traits such as behaviour, aptitude, honesty, dedication, suitability to the job role is checked.
On job evaluation: the candidates who clear personality test are invited to Harrods store to perform real tasks or simulation exercises on various fields depending upon nature of job role such as handling customers, taking orders, preparing bills, complaint handling, store management etc. The candidates are then assessed on their scores, practical skills and aptitude to logical understanding.
Final interview: the candidates who are selected in evaluation test are invited for final face-to-face interview with operation manager where their technical expertise is assessed. The final selection is made in this phase and the candidate who is finalised is offered joining letter within 10 days to join Harrods. (Snape and Redman, 2010)
2.4 Evaluate the effectiveness is the organization recruitment and selection techniques with another organization you recommending
The recruitment and selection technique being followed in our organization maintains a simple process where telephonic screening is done to assess the communication and agility of applicants. It also helps to evaluate the listening ability of candidates. Finally, the face-to-face interaction helps to assess the expertise and competency of candidates. Thus this dual filter process applied in our organization helps to identify best fit for specific nature of job but it lacks proper human resource planning structure which helps to align right person for right task. (Ferguson and Reio Jr, 2010)
On the other hand, Harrods recruitment and selection technique is more structured to measure practical abilities, behaviour, attitude and personality of candidates. The application process helps to screen the applicants based on eligibility and thus eliminates surplus applications which are not suitable for job role. Then the personality test helps to examine personal traits and behaviour which followed by evaluation test helps to evaluate situation handling of candidates base on real practices on job. This helps to examine decision making and promptness of candidates to perform routine activities. Lastly the final interview call helps to examine conceptual knowledge and suitability of candidates to Harrods culture. Thus Harrods recruitment technique is more prominent to examine minutely the best of talent who can be more adaptive to various changes or challenges of industry as it includes more detailed elimination process to reach to right candidate who can hold the reputation and value of Harrods for long term. (Ferguson and Reio Jr, 2010)

3.1 Assess the link between motivational theory and reward at Virgin Media or your chosen organization
Virgin Media has motivation instilled in its genes. The employees are spread all over the world and work in coordination because of effective teamwork. Virgin recognizes the importance and need of motivation that is prevalent amid the employees for achieving the objectives of an organization and thereby, Virgin provides a constant support to the desirable behaviours at work by the advantage of offering two bonus schemes. (Pearsall, Christian and Ellis, 2010)
There are various motivational theories but at Virgin, one can see the application of Maslow’s theory of motivation where five levels of needs are been emphasized. The first and basic need of an employee is the fulfilment of Physiological needs such as food, shelter, clothes etc. and the second stage covers the safety needs such as job security, integrity etc. The third stage of need is belonging needs which includes of friendship, family, recognition etc. and the fourth need is the esteem need such as sense of achievement, self respect, etc. The final stage is of the self-actualisation need where it is assumed that an employee has attained its maximal potential.
One can relate the physiological needs of an employee by providing various motivational benefits such with competitive wages, health benefits, educational support etc. as these are the very basic needs which must be fulfilled. Other motivational benefits for example training programmes, life insurance etc. can be linked to an employee’s safety needs. The need of belongingness at Virgin can be related to the workplace relations with co-workers and superiors, pay hike, discount lunch etc. further determining employees loyalty towards the company. By offering benefits like appraisals, paid vacation, stock purchase plan, bonus schemes etc. Virgin cultivates a sense of achievement within the employees which can be linked to the esteem needs. Motivational theory also stresses on establishing secure environment where employees’ contributions are recognized in the form of rewards. At Virgin Media, employees are furnished with both facilities and flexibilities thereby, fulfilling the norm of providing a safe and secure working atmosphere. In addition, reward in the forms of promotions and incentives are offered. Rewarding is not just an encouragement for a certain employee but is a motivation for the underperformers to work more hard. Winning a reward can be linked to the need of self-actualisation. (Pearsall, Christian and Ellis, 2010)
3.2 Evaluate the process of job evaluation and other factors determining pay at Virgin Media or your chosen organization
Gaining Acceptance: ahead of performing job evaluation, Virgin’s management must get a clear picture regarding to expectations, aims and objectives of all the positions eventually conveying it to the employees. (Snell and Bohlander, 2010)
Creating Job Evaluation Committee: the committee must comprise of the HR department, senior line managers, management and stakeholders like union leaders
Finding Jobs to be evaluated: at Virgin, all the positions available are evaluated except the jobs in IT department
Analysing and Preparing the Job Description: preparing the JD is the key role of the committee formed at Virgin. Every job is evaluated according to the management’s mandate which is further broken down in regard to the requirements, roles and responsibilities, optimal candidate details, allowance etc.
Selecting the method of evaluation: the best method for evaluating a job is comparing with competitors. Moreover, the evaluation can also be done by outsourced professional agencies or by observing the current market rates
Classifying Jobs: at Virgin, jobs are classified by bringing in together similar JDs and pay structures.
Installing the Program: at Virgin, this exercise is conducted through surveys, which is practiced as an annual routine and is further updated annually
Reviewing Periodically: it also is an annual exercise done for updating and modifying the existing pay structure
At Virgin Media, factors like seniority, experience, value added and employee motivation determine the pay. The pay range of the senior employees is different at Virgin. One can see that the pay scale of employees with a minimum 10 years of experience changes and their invaluable contributions are acknowledged and recognized. Furthermore, the pay structure of all employees are been altered repeatedly. The HR Manager in consultation with the management designs special pay packages for certain employees who are capable of playing multiple job roles. Moreover, the pay structure is designed by considering factors such as bringing change in workplace, inputs, employee’s prospective growth, their versatility towards changes, new roles, zest for taking risks etc. are the factors determining pay, which eventually is evaluated by the line managers and HR department. (Snell and Bohlander, 2010)
3.3 Assess in different contexts how effective is the reward systems at Virgin Media or your chosen organization
Reward systems and its effectiveness in Virgin Media It has been observed that the reward system at Virgin has been categorized into two key sections namely financial and non-financial
Financial rewards
Non- Financial rewards
Effectiveness of rewards in Virgin Media
The key purpose behind initiating a reward system is to recognize and acknowledge the employees contributions in driving the business towards its desirable goals. Virgin provides its employees with monthly incentives added in the pay for reaching the given targets and ensures that hardworking employees are praised at work so that feel motivated and inspire the others. Virgin encourages healthy competition amid the employees for winning the rewards as it not only is related to a monetary value but also is a matter of pride for the employee. An employee, who is promoted for undertaking higher responsibilities, is also considered as reward and the employees feel promotion as a recognition which they are seeking to achieve. (Gittell, Seidner and Wimbush, 2010)
3.4 Examine the methods Virgin Media or your chosen organization use to monitor employee performance
Methods of monitoring employee performances at Virgin
Set clear policies on time and productivity: it is important to plan the tasks to be allotted in advance eventually providing employees with direction and an idea of the performance standards expected from them. (De Jong and Elfring, 2010)
Regular check-ins and reporting needs: it is important to ensure that check-ins and reports are not demanding but rather should be encouraging for both employees and management bringing them together on the same page. Moreover, evaluation of the work described in a report or while check-in must be done
Apprehending motivational levels: can be done with the surveys where employees can voice their opinions and concerns.
Virgin Media can adopt a trimester appraisal system in order to evaluate the employees’ performances further enabling the management in cutting down the costs of the process of evaluation. Tom Mockridge, CEO, Virgin Media has stated that the company’s current process of performance evaluation is too costly when compared with the outcomes and thereby, for reducing the burden a plan must be made for implementing the structure. Practice of a trimester appraisal system is very effective for Virgin as it allows the employees to keep a track on their performances thrice in a year enabling them to avail the opportunities to improve and work attentively around the year. (De Jong and Elfring, 2010)
4.1 Identify the reasons for termination of Faisal’s employment contract with The Chicken Master and generally explain other reasons for cessation of employment
The owner of Chicken Master, Bob Jones takes into consideration multiple reasons ahead of terminating an employee further allowing the restaurant to keep its position safe. Ahead of terminating an employee, Bob Jones ensures that it has enough evidences and valid reason to proving that the action was legitimate in case the employee drags Chicken Master to the tribunal. Moreover, Bob gets involved on a personal level in every activity whether it is recruitment or termination, to ensure that any kind of reprehensible practice is not exercised in the restaurant and that all the processes are executed in adherence to the employment laws of UK. (Guest, Isaksson and De Witte, 2010)
Faisal, the restaurant manager at Chicken Master was laid off because of his bad behaviour and performance at work. Faisal although having 15 years of work experience in a restaurant failed in maintaining cleanliness in the restaurant’s kitchen and never stocked the store which raised problems while serving the customers. Moreover, he would often take out the restaurant’s equipment for his personal use without the knowledge of Bob, which was a violation of the policies mentioned in the employee handbook which he signed while joining. On investigating Bob found that Faisal would regularly watch pornography, emailing his wife and helping his daughter with her homework, even designing his own restaurant which was misbehaviour and violation of the restaurant’s policies. All these factors eventually lead to his termination on the grounds of unethical behaviour at work. (Guest, Isaksson and De Witte, 2010)
Reasons for cessation of employment
Shrinking Budget: continuous low profits or lack of funds from shareholders gives rise to situations where an organization becomes helpless in maintain the employees and are forced to lay off employees for maximizing their budgets.
Attendance: although employers understand the need of taking a time off citing illness, relatives death, holidays etc. an employee who is habituated in remaining continuously absent at work is subjected of getting terminated as it negatively influences on the company’s overall productivity, profits and morale. (Castilla and Benard, 2010)
Performance: employees with poor performances such as failure in achieving the given targets, missing deadlines, negligence at work etc. despite of multiple opportunities of improving themselves can face termination
Attitude and Behaviour: an organization expects the employees of maintaining a certain standard of respect at workplace with employer, co-workers, vendors and customers. Behaviours like misbehaving with customers, stealing office accessories or leaking secret information, maligning company’s name, drug and alcohol abuse etc. might result into employees’ termination. (Castilla and Benard, 2010)
4.2 Describe the employment exit procedures used by The Chicken Master and another organization of your choice
Employment exit procedure of NHS
Employment exit procedure of Chicken Master: Chicken Master’s employment exit procedure is quick and is eventually is related with the overall growth of the business while a financial crunch. Termination linked to employees’ performance is low and can be related to training, growth opportunities and the reward structure. Employees are given a minimum of 2 months time to look out other job and often at times gives references or when a background check is processed, the Bob gives a positive respond. In case an employee resigns, an interview is organized where the employee gives valid reasons behind the decisions. However, in case an employee is terminated on the grounds of unacceptable behaviour a fast processing is employed without indulging into many formalities. (Kramer, 2010)
4.3 Consider the impact of the legal and regulatory framework on employment cessation arrangements with an organization such as The Chicken Master if Faisal’s claim was proven to be true
There can be a considerable effect on Chicken Master while managing and adhering to the legal and regulatory framework during employment cessation as it is mandatory to adhere to the regulations. One can evaluate the employment cessation with the help of various prospects like annual and sustainability report of the restaurant. On the basis of the study, one can say that the restaurant has been particular with its employment cessation arrangements which might be considered as a sterile exercise by its competitors but Bob ensures that there is zero impact on the restaurant’s performance in terms of costs resulted because of non compliance of the regulatory framework for employment cessation. Comprehensively, the employment cessation arrangements at Chicken Master are steady at large under the legal and regulatory frameworks. It has been observed that Bobs has adopted numerous measures for ensuring that employees’ growth and productivity remain unaffected and are in accordance to the job requirements. Moreover, Chicken Master has never attempted of overseeing the employment laws and its related provisions. (Rubery, 2010)

Sainsbury’s is the largest supermarkets in UK. They plan each and everything in the organisation from hiring new individuals to assign various duties and responsibilities to the employees. They also manage disputes among employees and make the use of resources in an optimum way (Gahlawat and Kundu, 2019).
HRM’s purpose in the organization:
The Human Resources management is responsible for managing the work and skills of employees and they also plan and strategies various ideas and techniques for the effective functioning of the organisation. They also maintain the productivity and profitability ratio of the organization. They also assure positive mindset to the employees by providing healthy and positive environment and surroundings to the employees. There are two types of HR practices used by the Human Resources management, hard and soft practices in order to provide directions to the employees so that business objectives can be achieved (Aust et al., 2020).
For improving the performance of the organisation and employees; they regulate various theories and concepts so that they can easily make control over certain things in the organisation. And on the other side, they also motivate and encourage the employees by which the employment engagement towards the organisation can be increased. Soft HRM practices are mainly adopted by the HR department so that they can easily empower employees.
HRM’s functions:
Recruiting and hiring new individuals:
The Human Resource department is responsible for the taking interviews and for the whole selection process. They set various criteria and requirement of skills for making selection of the new employees. They are responsible for identifying staff shortage in the organization and then conduct the selection process.
Provide trainings and developing skills:
For improving the skills and knowledge of the employees the Human Resources department is responsible and plays a major role in providing proper training and coaching to the employees so that they can easily develop their knowledge according to the organization’s norms and conditions. For providing training they conduct various training programs and seminars (Karak, S., 2019).
Managerial functions of HRM:
The organization’s management is responsible to direct, organise and control various activities and tasks. They are responsible for planning various strategies and innovative ideas. They need to manage various tactics and strategies in order to maintain the growth and development of the organisation.
Performance appraisal of employees:
The HR department is also responsible for making appraisals according to the performance of the employees. They need to check daily-to-daily feedbacks of the employees; on the basis of that criterion they can easily manage providing rewards and promotions to the employees (Hassan, 2016).
Welfare of employees:
The term welfare of employee’s means to satisfy the employees by providing environment that is healthy and positive. The Human resources department adopt those rules and regulations which can be easily understood by the employees so that they can adapt them in order to improve their performance and skills.
Maintaining the record of employees:
Sainsbury’s has large numbers of employees working in their organisation, because of this they have to maintain the employee’s record that is their joining date, per annum salary and total working hours in the organisation.
P2 Explain the strengths and weakness of different approaches to recruitment and selection.
Sainsbury’s is the largest supermarket in UK, because of this they need to recruit or hire those individuals that are qualified and have good skills and knowledge so that with help of those employees they can improve the productivity and profitability of the organization. There are two types of recruitment methods, one is external recruitment method and other is internal recruitment method, with the help of these methods they recruit and select as per the individual’s skills and capabilities. The best fit practice and best practice model are the two types of the approaches that are used by the organization to make a good reputation in the competitive market (Sparrow and Otaye-Ebede, 2017).
The term best fit practice means the proper coordination between the organizational objectives and the needs of the human resource management. And the other term best practice model means to execute various plans and strategies to achieve organizational goals and business objectives.
Internal recruitment method:
From the term internal recruitment means transfer of existing employees, promotions etc. this type of process is very effective as the employees already know the norms and regulations of the organization (DeVaro, 2020). This internal method of recruitment has its own merits and demerits,
With the help of this recruitment process, the total timing in recruiting individuals’ decreases as they are already appointed in the organisation and the HR manager already estimated their criteria of performing duties and responsibilities. The employees adapt the culture of the organization as they already know about it. The procedure of internal recruitment is quite easy and affordable because the management don’t need to advertise about vacancies in their organization. By promoting employees and by increasing their incentives the organization’s like Sainsbury’s can increase the engagement of employees so that employees stay dedicated and committed towards their work which ultimately helps the organization in the growth and development (Farndale et al., 2018).
The procedure of promotion and transfer got hindered as some managers don’t cooperate with their team members. If some employee got promoted then their position remains vacant just because this; the management needs to conduct the selection process for hiring someone for that position. Due to competition in the organisation because of promoting other employees, conflicts and disputes may occur.

External recruitment method:
With the help of employment exchange they can easily hire new individuals. The term employment exchange means a kind of organisation that provides jobs to applicants on the basis of their experience and abilities (DeVaro, 2020). There are various ways by which organizations can recruit new individuals,
Campus recruitment:
This is a procedure of recruiting young individuals from their colleges or universities while practicing internships. This is the procedure of providing employment to them when they are pursuing their degrees (McDonald, 2019).
Online recruitment:
This is the procedure of conducting online interviews by the HR management for selecting new individuals; this is a kind of easy process (Ladkin and Buhalis, 2016). On the basis of these online interviews and tests they hire them (Holm and Haahr, 2019).
With the help of social media:
The social media helps in providing job and employment regarding advertisements, through Facebook and Instagram people got to know about new jobs and recruitments (Holm and Haahr, 2019).
With the help of various promotions and advertisements they can easily provide structure and culture of the organisation so that applicants get an idea about the jobs criteria. In this method they can easily hire applicants on the basis qualification and knowledge (Ahmed and Ahmed, 2019).
Online recruitment is quite costly process of hiring individuals as so much money is required in doing advertisements. Because of this process conflicts may occur in the organisation as the employees are not aware about the structure and culture of the organisation.
In Sainsbury’s the HR management should adopt those mix approaches and techniques for selecting new individuals according to their skills, knowledge and experience.
P3 Explain the benefits of different HRM practices within the organisation for both the employer and employee.
The Human resources department has a major role in the functioning of the organisation. They are the one who is responsible for the growth and development of the organization. They need to manage everything in the organisation from planning to assign the work and projects to the employees. They are the one who direct, organise and make control over the tasks and activities of the organisation. The HR department is responsible for implementing various strategies and plans in the organisation. They organise various training programs and seminars for making improvements in the skills and knowledge of the employees that helps them in their career enhancement. In Sainsbury’s the management’s various practices and approaches help and provide benefit to both employer and employees as well (Hassan, 2016).
Employee motivation and development:
The major and important role of HR management is to motivate and encourage employees towards their business goals and career objectives. For developing and improving their skills they need to conduct various training programs and seminars so that helps them in their career development. For motivating their employees; Sainsbury’s adopt many motivational theories to provide motivation and encouragement to the employees. The employees are also allowed to choose their shift hours according to their suitability. By providing training and coaching the organisation meant that the employees can make improvements in their personal and professional lives (Hassan, 2016).
Effective relations between employees:
The Human resources department initiates working in groups and teams so that the relations of employees can be improved and maintained in the organization. With the help of this initiative the organizations can maintain long term relations with the employees so that the turnover of employees can be decrease (Hassan, 2016).
Positive behaviour of employees:
If the management provide healthy environment and surroundings to the employees, the employees will be able to work with positive mindset. Sainsbury’s should adopt healthy and positive culture in the organization to that the employees can give their best in accomplishing their duties and responsibilities. If the employees got proper motivation and encouragement then only they can focus on their work in efficient manner, and they got motivated if the management provide proper performance appraisals, promotions and higher incentives to them in this way they got encouraged towards their work and stay committed to the organization (Hassan, 2016).
All these factors are provide benefits and profits to both employer and employees as by implementing HR approaches in proper manner they can easily achieve the set targets and business objectives. And the employees can make improvements in their personal and professional lives and can enhance their career goals.

Sainsbury’s can increase their employee’s engagement by providing rewards to them, rewards like promotions, higher incentives etc. by which they can stay dedicated and committed towards the organization. This will help the organisation in achieving a good productivity and profitability ratio. The employee engagement can be increase if the organization provides facilities according to the employee’s requirements (Osborne and Hammoud, 2017).
Positive and healthy environment:
Any organization’s success and growth is totally depends on the contribution of the employees; employees are the main source of contribution in any organization’s development. For achieving organisational goals and business objectives, the organization needs to provide a proper healthy and positive environment and culture so that the employees can work with an ease and meet those business goals. Plus the management also needs to hire those individuals that have sober thinking and can easily make adjustments in any kind of culture. The HR management also needs to adopt corporate and diversified culture so that those employees who belong from various cultures and backgrounds can easily manage their work in efficient manner. Sainsbury’s should adopt diversified culture in order to provide healthy and social environment to their employees so that they can enhance and improve their career objectives (Hameed et al., 2020).

The role of the employees in the organization plays very important role in the organization for increasing the profit and productivity in the Sainsbury’s supermarket in UK.

The employees of the Sainsbury’s market are building strong relationship with the customers so that they purchase the products from the Sainsbury’s supermarket repeatedly by raising the satisfaction level of the customers by fulfilling the needs and the requirements of the customer (García et al., 2017). The relation of the employees is shown with the various points which are listed below:
Higher productivity and effectiveness in the business: The productivity of the employees in the Sainsbury’s supermarket in UK are increased if the employees of the organization are actively participating in all the responsibilities and work which is given to them. The employees who are giving their 100 percent efforts in improvising the productivity and profit of the Sainsbury’s supermarket by doing their assigned tasks and work are living happily in the environment of the organization and are satisfied with HR management. Through this the manager of the human resource will make fast decisions if the productivity in the Sainsbury’s supermarket is increased even if there is high chance of the risks present in the contract and in this way the managers of the human resource are showing their trust on the employees of the organization (García et al., 2017).

Abstract: Despite theoretical support suggesting a strong linkage between HR systems and knowledge management outcomes, only limited empirical evidence exists on the relative contribution of HR practices, particularly as experienced by individual employees, to facilitating intrafirm knowledge flows. Further, even fewer studies have investigated key intermediate mechanisms by which HR practices affect knowledge sharing attitudes and behaviour.

This paper sheds light on the expatriate–local relationship based on local employees' perspectives of expatriate managers. Drawing on a survey of local employees working in three Western multinational banks in Jordan, the study explores local employees' views on expatriate managers and their performance. The study reveals that local employees are generally indifferent to their manager's nationality as long as the manager has the capability to drive the subsidiary forward. However, one key concern of locals is the ability of expatriates to adapt to the local culture and business environment. The study also points towards a significant gap between the formal rationale for expatriation by multinational companies and what local employees perceive as real reasons behind expatriation.
