INTRODUCTION
Globalisation is the process through which companies enter into new market and operate
at international level. Companies are required to improve their strategies so that these enterprises
can sustain in the market for longer duration. International HRM functions consists of

training strategies for meeting international requirements. Current assignment will describe
research methods that are used for the research. It will conduct data analyses and will highlight
findings.

P1 Aim and objectives
Background of the study
Each firm aims to enter into global market but for that it is essential to have good internal
and external market position of business unit. Development in information technologies have
supported companies in entering into foreign market successfully. In an international context,
organisation tends to look for talents around the world. Nestle is the multinational firm which has

flexible, innovative, agile and focuses in seeking new ways to recruit, select and train talents. HR
manager should think globally and add universal values in organisation culture. HR manager
should use new technologies for training and adapt external recruitment to select the best pool of
talent. New candidates brings fresh ideas and strategies which can be used by company to
expand globally (Mackey and Gass, 2015). HR manager need to provide cultural awareness,
environmental briefing, language training, field experience to employees before company goes
global. Effective reward management techniques need to do at international level. Proper
induction need to be given to employees. Effective training strategies such as identifying gap

P2 Plan for project management
Project management:
It is a process of planning, controlling and executing all the activities and finishing on
time. Project management plan helps in scheduling the activities and manage all the operations to
meet the goal and objective. It helps in better allocation and utilization of resources. Knowledge,
skills, techniques and tools are required to meet the objectives. It is necessary to incorporate cost,
time, scope, communication, quality and resources in the planning process to get results. Project
manager is responsible for aligning all the activities so that project can be finished on time.
 Cost: It is one of the most important element to be considered while doing a project.
Researcher is responsible for the managing cost of research, for that individual has to
allocate resource properly. Companies have to manage their cost of recruitment, selection
and training. In the absence of that actual objective will not be accomplished (Flick,
2015).

 Scope: There is a high scope of this project because it supports all the companies who
want to globalise its business. It will help in forming and implementing better strategies
for recruitment, selection and training which help company in meeting international
requirements. This project has wide scope because companies will be able to retain
employees for longer duration in global market.
 Time: It is also an essential part of project planning and management. It describes the
time taken to complete a project (Ledford and Gast, 2018). This project will take 8 weeks
for completion. Project management helps in allotting time to different tasks so that
project can be completed on time. Effective time management helps run the project
smoothly. Company will take time to make changes in its recruitment, selection and
training strategy, it will take around 3 months to implements such changes. By this way
improvement will be made in such tactics and this will make the firm able to meet
international standards.
 Quality: Researcher will use only such data which has relevant detail about topic.
Authorised researches will be used so that quality results can be generated. Apart from
this, companies will ensure that strategies are implemented in effective manner so that
such improving ways can be implemented successfully.
 Communication: Researcher will communicate with respondents so that they give
reliable answers on asked question on research topic (Farndale and et.al, 2017). In order
to implement new ways company has to coordinate with employees and have share views
formally. This will help in analysing these strategies and getting positive results.
 Resources: Resources are required to complete the project on time. Here resources
required for research on recruiting and selecting are human resource, human resource
management software and resources required for training are technical resources and
human resources. For project firm will need human resource, financial resource and
technical resources.
P3 Gantt chart and work breakdown structure
Work breakdown structure:
It is a project management system which breakdown a task into smaller components. It is
a tree shaped structure which shows a subdivision of tasks to be carried out to achieve goals and
objectives. In the present project task can be subdivided as first recruitment will be done,
3

secondly selection process will be followed and thirdly after selecting the pool of talents training
will be provided to the employees (Cooke and et.al., 2019). It also provides control and cost
estimation for overall project. WBS is followed to assign responsibilities equally to team
members, to manage time and cost of the project. Main objective to implement this structure is to
get visibility of risk, get a visibility of where to put more effort and maintain correlation between
employees and activities. It is a critical part of project management which provides performance
reports, program schedule, control and response tools.
Gantt chart:
Gantt chart is the visual representation of schedules task. It is used to plan all size of
projects and is useful for showing what task should be performed on specific day. It also helps
company in showing the starting date and ending dated of recruitment, selection and training
process (Horwitz, 2017). Gantt chart shows:
 Project's starting date
 Project's task
 End date of project
 Time duration of project
 Whether task overlap or not
 Allocating task to specific person
