1EMPLOYEE MANAGEMENT
Introduction
The human resources based practices are able to play a key role in ensuring the success if
an organization in the industry. The practices are developed in such a manner that are able to
promote high levels of satisfaction of the employees and further to save the investments that are
made by the company. The changes that take place in the industry are also considered to be an
important part of the success that can be gained by the human resource based practices. The
implementation of best levels of human resource practices can help the organization to remain
prepared for the challenges that can be faced in the industry (Albrecht et al., 2015).
The process of strategic planning is considered to be a major human based practice that
can be implemented in the modern organizations in order to maintain the levels of profitability
and revenues in the industry of operations as well. Training is another major human resource
based practice that can be implemented by the organizations in order to manage the employees in
an effective manner. Outsourcing and evaluation of the feedback provided by employees is also a
major part of the organizational processes that are implemented in the companies
(Bailey et al., 2018).
Mother London is an organization that operates in the creative industry and has employed
more than 200 people in different areas. The organization is a subsidiary of the Mother Holdings
Group that has 20 organizations and includes 700 members including the freelancers. The
operations of Mother Holdings are based on the core principles that have been set by the
organization in an effective manner. The values of the organization are also able to play a major
role in the ways by which Mother London aims at maintaining the levels of operations and
employees as well (Motherlondon.com 2019).

Role played by HR practices in Mother London
As discussed by Brewster, Chung and Sparrow (2016), the HR practices are able to play a
major role in maintaining the employees and levels of creativity of Mother London. The
employees in the organization work in a highly collaborative manner which is able to increase
the levels of diversity and creativity as well. The levels of ideas that are provided by different
employees can be implemented with the help of proper collaboration between the employees.
The ways by which Mother London is able to operate and organize the clients is considered to be
quite different. The development of proper teams is supported by the human resource based
practices of the organization.
According to Cherkesova et al. (2016), the organization is based on different forms of
capital for its effective operations that include, human capital, social capital and organizational
capital. The human resource practices that have been implemented by the company are related to
resourcing of external staff. Training and development is also used by the organization as a
major HR practice in order to manage the staff. The rewards and proper management of
performance are considered to be effective for the ways by which Mother London can manage
the staff and their levels of creativity in the industry. The proper implementation of human
resource based practices can help in increasing the levels of creativity and further improve their
performance as well (Marchington2015).
Drawbacks of the approach based on recruitment of Mother London
The lack of proper and formal training based programs is considered to be a major issue
that is faced by Mother London in the industry. The creativity levels of the employees cannot be
managed in an effective way due to absence of the training based programs. The training and

development programs need to be implemented within the organization on a more frequent basis.
This will be able to play a major role in the management of performance levels of the creative
employees. The process of external recruitment or outsourcing is not systematic enough to
manage the employees and their performance based levels as well (Collings, Wood and
Szamosi2018).
The recruitment process that is implemented for the newcomers is also considered to be a
major part of the issues that are faced by the organization. Mother London needs to design the
recruitment process in order to include the best and most effective employees within the
organizational processes. The organization also has to face major challenges that are related to
the ways by which the needs of employees can be managed along with the overall goal of the
company (Hollenbeck and Jamieson 2015). The work of human resource department of the
organization is also quite challenging in nature as they have to face the competitors who are a
part of the industry. The recruitment of best possible staff is an important part of the ways by
which creative employees can be included in the workforce (Jamali, El Diraniand Harwood
2015).
Evaluation of the Human Resource practices
From the case study, it is identified that there are number of human resource management
practices being followed by Mother London. One of the major human resource practices for
Mother London is the engagement of the employees. According to Anitha (2014), one of the
major determinants of employee engagement is their involvement in the workplace and the
extent to which the employees are positively contributing in the workplace. As per the authors,
the more will be the employee engagement, the more will be the effectiveness and productivity
