HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
1.0 Task 1
1.1 Question 1
The organisation needs to keep employee records for various reasons and among them
the most significant reasons are to meet the legal requirements and to enable the organisation to
take effective decisions regarding human resource management and operation management.
Meeting legal requirements is the primary responsibility of any organisation irrespective
of any industry. In the UK, organisations need to keep the records for satisfying the requirements
of the Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC). This is a non-ministerial department in the
UK government that collects taxes and state support payments and maintains regulatory regimes
like national minimum wage. Secondly, the employees may opt out of the working time
regulations 1998 with working hours of 48 a week. In such cases, the employers should keep
records to calculate the hours worked. Thirdly, the minimum wage, as per the National Living
Wage 2016, is calculated on the basis of the employees’ education, experience, age, skillsets,
position and hours worked and this minimum wage must be paid by the employees.
Decision-making is another very crucial activity of the organisation. The entire business
operations, HR and business performances are dependent on the efficient decision making and
thus, the organisations must keep employee records to arrange trainings for those who need that,
and position them in the right place as per their skills and capabilities. That enhances their
performances.

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT1.2 Question 2
The organisation must collect personal information of the employees, along with their
education level, hard and/or soft skills, and past work experience if any. These data is helpful in
assessing the training needs of the employees according to the job requirement. The L&D
programs in the organisation are set as per the job responsibilities and requirement. The HR
department is responsible to enhance the skills and knowledge of the employees to prepare them
for the job role and to adopt new technology or work process. Thus, it is essential for them to
know about the educational background and past work experience (if any) of the employees.
The information on the educational background of the employees is used to categorize
them for different positions in the organisation, such as, technical, sales and marketing, finance
and accounting etc. Similarly, any vocational training on any hard or soft skills or diploma
course on any particular subject or discipline might help the employees to understand the job role
better and the HR department would position them accordingly.
1.3 Question 3
The organisation must use digital format and databases to store the employee data.
Technological revolution has changed and improved the working processes in the modern
businesses. Usage of technological tools and equipment has enhanced the capacities of the
organisations and helped them to improve the quality of service delivery of the organisations and
in the modern world, almost all organisations use software in majority of the working process
and storing information regarding business operations, sales, revenues, profits, HR information
etc. The advanced technology also enables the companies to retrieve specific information about a
