INTRODUCTION
Human resource management allow company to not only manage their employee but this
also help them fulfil learning and developing need of employee. Every business organization
focus on people development to become more capable and mainly to increase employee
retention, there are many successful companies who directly focus on human development as
compared to using different strategy to increase company's ROI. This study is based on Nestle
and Pepsico, Nestle is the largest food and beverage company who provide L&D to craft their
workplace more effective (Armstrong, 2020). Whereas Pepsico is one of the most successful
food company that deal worldwide and generate surplus profit, both organization provide L&D
strategies and try to fulfil demand of making workplace more productive. This report will discuss
Learning and development need of both organization. Later this report will examine HR
management and its roles and responsibilities in fulfilling need of L&D in the company. At last
this report will discuss impact of HR management on effectiveness of both organization.
MAIN BODY
Learning and development in the workplace:
Every business organization focus on learning and development phase where they try to
sharpen skills and ability of employee, this simply means training and development program that
not only help company to become more capable with the help of workforce but this allows them
to meet requirement of employee's as well. Almost every business organization give training and
development responsibility to HR department who take care of each and every employee of the
company, it is very clear that structure of business is very simple, which means each and every
department have their own roles and responsibilities that they need to follow (Altinay and et.al.,
2017). Same way HR or human resource department take responsibility of learning and
development or training to employee. It is very clear that training and development is not easy
task, this is quite challenging when organization deal in large scale for example; Nestle, this
company is the largest food and beverage company in the world. This company directly focus on
employee and their ability, Nestle provide effective training and development to employee that
impact ROI (Return on Investment), this company focus on internal ability which means
benefiting employee allow them to get higher retention rate.
Nestle deal in food and beverage which means quires of consumer is high, this company
have skilled worker who deal effectively with any issue that arrive in the business process.

Whereas when talking about Pepsico, this company also deal in food and beverage unlike Nestle
but PepsiCo focus on consumer segment rather than employee segment this simply means they
do provide effective learning and development to employee, but they do not mainly depend on
employee retention. Both organization is different and ROI, they have their own method of
learning and developing employee, these methods are:
Culture and human resource policy: both organization follow and welcome diverse
culture, Nestle unifies people from different culture which allow them to enjoy certain benefits,
this company hire talent from diverse culture which unlock certain opportunity to survive in
different market. Nestle consider diverse culture as business strategy as this allow them to
develop powerful workplace that impact return on investment, for example; Nestle hire
employee from different nation which provide them insight and condition of the market,
employee with expertise advise Nestle to craft survival strategy. This way people of Nestle and
Nestle themselves drive high ROI in different market (Bratton and et.al., 2021). Whereas Pepsico
is one of those companies who also welcome diverse culture but prioritize employee from home
country because they believe diverse culture need extra training and development affords that
cost to the business and their ROI is impacted. Human resource policy of both companies is
different from each other, both company favour employee and their development, for example
nestle drive non-discrimination policy that create healthy workplace. And Pepsico craft
collective bargaining policy and strict rule against any kind of unethical practice in the
workplace.
Every business organization provide learning and development program to employee for
certain purpose such as; introduction to workplace structure, sharpening pre-existing skills and
ability, training and developing new skills and ability. Nestle have their own learning and
development program that help them to sharpen skills of employee, they provide effective
learning program that cover every essential need of the employee in development process, there
are different method of L&D need, these are:
On board training: on board training is one of the best method that allow organization to
provide effective learning and development to new employee, this simply means organization try
to focus on training session inside workplace (Brewster and et.al., 2016). The purpose of on
board training is to push employee to become part of workplace climate, although on board
training can be challenging because this can impact employee retention as well. For example if
