INTRODUCTION
Human resources management in every organisation looks after the tactical part of the
organisation. The management in every company it seem to be more into looking after the things
that include workforce management as well as the productivity of the companies which is said to
be one of the finest task to accomplish (Michael, 2019). The report deals with the human
resources management and its prominence in every industry as well as organisations. The
organisation that is opted in this regard is Morrisons. The Morrisons retailer is regarded as one of
the fourth largest retailers of the United Kingdom. The human resources management of
Morrisons company is involved in dealing with things that are related to its employees as well as
the upliftment of the organisation. Everything is dealt with a prior information with regards to
each other.
PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Functions of HRM
Every human resources management in organisation who looks after two major test that are the
major crucial factors of every organisational work. The Morrisons companies HRM looks after
the two major types of recruitment and selection. Their prominence is said to be most
predominant in the organisation.
Recruitment: recruitment is said to me that process which involves hiring for new individual
that process the skills and requirements that are as essential part of the organisation. This is said
to be one of the strategic and forth a potential movement that is being accomplished by the
human resources management team of every organisation and that with regards to Morrisons.
The HRM in the organisation will take up activities that are involved in producing
advertisements as well as the newspaper articles for the fresh vacancies that are being designed
by the management. Upon these advertisements and promotional activities for the required staff
there will be surplus amount of employees that can be interviewed upon the basis of job role.
Selection: the right next part of recruitment is the selection program which will involve testing
of all the activities that are essential for the organisation (Delery and Roumpi, 2017). The human
resources management soon after getting employees by the job advertisements that are being
displayed on various platforms will then specifically filter the resumes as well as that certificate
parts such that they can schedule an interview with the officials to test their knowledge. This

seems to be the second step which will further pave its way into the proper steps until the person
is hired for the role that is being depicted.
Approaches to recruitment and selection
Recruitment within the company morrisons although it is a straight process that will inherit the
challenges as well as the filtration of employees that will appear for the interview process at their
team to be different advantages as well as disadvantages with the prior weaknesses and strengths
that are associated with. not all people in the organisation are well versed with the interview
process. It is a big challenge for the human resources management team to find specific
candidates for recruitment process such that the applicants will find it easier and a bit
professional for them to be interviewed.
Weakness: The weaknesses of this practice in this regard will rely upon the number of
applicants who are not reliable for the position that has been depicted through advertisements. It
seems to be a major task to accomplish by filtering the resumes that were gathered who are not
suitable for the role and since they have applied it is mandatory to filter them for the best from
the lot. It will consume a lot more time to decide upon the things from the badly designed
resumes that were obtained through the portals. Sometimes the weakness in this regards lies in
the improper functioning of websites where the server will not co-operate with the human
resources management in order to cope up with the interviews and selection as soon as possible.
Strengths: The strength of this process is to be a little cost-effective where the company will not
be able to maintain any resources that is financially stipulated for this program. The
advertisements as well as the mandatory decisions will be taken online which will not consume
more finances and therefore the organisation can be free of cost. This can also act as a fuel
towards the public filtration for the post that is being offered. Recruitment and selection process
in the company Morrisons is being filled up by the usage of Technology which is said to be one
of the major strength of the human resources management. With the technology advancement the
management is taking decisions and are conducting the filtration process all at once. This seems
to be a time-consuming one.

organisation Morrisons. The benefits that in regard to the employer and employee are as follows:
