INTRODUCTION
Human Resource is a department in almost every organisation which deals with
managing human resources. It can be defined through the scenario which we will be taking in the
assignment that human resources management is the process of recruiting, hiring, looking after
the employees’ performance and building a healthy relationship with people (Jackson and Parry,
2011). There are lots of activities which are clubbed in human resource management like how to
coordinate with people at work? What are the resources you need to start from? They supervise,
lead, manage, and perform management in an organisation. Business management deals with the
stress management, policy development, and the workforce management. Employees of any
company should be involved in motivation seminars, coaching, training and education which
will help them to grow and work more efficiently. All the functions of the human resource
department have been described in the report in detail. In the all three scenario will we be taking
different organisation from different sector (Scullion and Collings, 2011). In the first case we
will be taking Woodhill College and will be describing how the human resource department will
handle its recruitment process. Second case deals with TESCO and in that how employees’
performance will be improved. Final case describes employee relationship in ITV.

requirement. Other than this it also states that how many employees are required for teaching
purpose and for another positions (DeCenzo, Robbins and Verhulst, 2010). In the higher
education institutes, strategic plans focus on academic matters, finance, buildings and other
physical resources and the organisation need people who will deliver the plans. They will link
between these plans and describing the workforce requirement which will strengthen

organisational practices and will able to make sure that college achieve the objectives which they
have desired for. In a organisation HRM has lots of important functions or responsibilities which
they have to perform in order to increase the business of that organisation (Sparrow, Brewster
and Chung, 2016). Functions of HRM includes recruitment& selection, orientation, maintaining
good working conditions & employee relations and they have the final task of training &
development.

Woodhill resourcing strategy and involves acquiring talent who has desired skills to manage the

behaviour. HR manager who has been recruitment for hiring employees or teaching staff have to
