INTRODUCTIONEmployability skills are the ones that assist in becoming successful in present daybusiness scenario. These are the set of skills and behaviours which are very important for everyjob. These skills are also known as foundational skills, soft skills and job-readiness skills. Theseskills include planning, communication, problem solving, decision making, self-management,organizing, learning, taking initiatives and adapting with technologies (Anderson, 2012). Presentreport is about Morrison’s which is the fourth largest retailer in the United Kingdom. This reportcovers the roles and responsibilities of employees towards the firm. Further, emphasis is givenon developing interpersonal and transferable skills. Focus will also be laid on developing thestrategies related to problem solving.TASK 11.1 Morrison is one of the fastest growing retail firms. Being a HR manger, I have to playmany roles. Following are the roles and responsibilities of a HR manager:Training to employees: There is a need on part of HR of Morrison to organize the trainingprograms in a proper manner for the employees. These programs are likely to aid towardsincreasing the overall work performance of employees. There is further a need to providetraining on the areas where the employees lag behind. It can assist in increasing the overallknowledge towards the work that is being performed by them. Retaining staffs: As an HR manager of Morrison, the need is to retain the staff members in thebest possible manner. Hence, the need is to work on these issues by which maximum employeescan be retained. This includes understanding the overall issues and problems being faced bythem (Budhwar and Debrah, 2013). Recruitment: This can be regarded as one of the major responsibility that is played by HumanResource Coordinator of Morrison. Here, the need is to formulate polices so that best of theemployees can be recruited in minimum possible time. My performance objectives as being a Human Resource coordinator are to full fill theorganizational goal and objectives, motivate employees, giving tasks to the employees, hiringeffective candidate for the firm.1

1.2 After analysing my own effectiveness towards the defined objectives, I found that amongthe following points I have not achieved my targets. Following things were found:Maintaining relationship: It is one of the roles which I have to perform. Maintainingrelationship helps in increasing the confidence level of employees and they will be able to sharetheir problems freely. I always fail in fulfilling this responsibility. In order to maintainrelationship, one should be able to understand the other problems and I always find difficulty inunderstanding the problems of employees and thus employee have lack confidence on me.Inaddition to this, retaining staffs is another role which cannot be fulfilled by me in a proper way.Retention of the employees can only be made a possibility when the HR staffs are able tounderstand the issues being faced by employees. This will help to satisfy them in the bestpossible manner so that there issues can be resolved. In my case, I am facing issue with respectto employee retention in Morrison. This is because I lack in understanding the difficulties beingfaced by employees.Recruitment: This is one of the major roles which have to be performed by HR manager.Candidates who possess high skills, highly qualified and suitable for the vacant post should beselected (Chang, Gong and Shum, 2011). I found myself quite effective in this area. Thishappened as the candidates selected by me were a good option for the company. They were ableto work in a team and have a presence of sound communication skills. Most importability, theywere quite keen to learn things. Training to the employees: I have faced a lot of issue in terms of training the new employees. Ifeel that there has been a lag in my part in taking out time for training the staff members. Hencethe need on my part is to improve by enhancing my time management skills. 1.3 Varied steps can be taken by me through whom I can improve upon my weaknesses. Training programs: I need to train my staff members in the best possible manner so that they areable to work properly and efficient. For this, I need to take out proper time so that there trainingneeds are met. In case of my busy work, I am required to outsource my work to other membersso that the training of employees within Morrison’s is not affected. I am further required tounderstand their behaviour in a proper manner so that I can work on their loopholes. Byunderstanding their behaviour I will be able to provide suitable training to employees.2
