An evaluation of process and rationale for conducting HR practices.
HR practices are very much important for an organisation that give an definite path to
reach at desirable goals and objectives (Garrick, 2012). In case of Marrison some key practices
are very much essential for an organisation to lead in marketplace. There are various kinds of HR
practices that are recruitment and selection, training and development, performance appraisal and
reward management and many more. In case of Marrisons they majorly uses two kinds of HR
practices in which recruitment and selection with training and development majorly contributes
in organisational success and enhancement.
Recruitment and selection:
Recruitment and selection refers to select best and competitive candidate for organisation
that helps in achieve organisational goals and objectives. In case of Marrisons they select by
attracting best candidates after evaluating skills and capabilities to measure their performance
level (Glendon and Clarke, 2015.). The main process for selecting best candidate for which
organisation have to firstly publish the news of vacancy from various sources and try to reach at
large no. of candidates so that they can select best out of them. After that select best Cvs out of
large no. of it and then schedule interview and many other processes of selection should be
selected so that they can reach at large no. of consumer base. After taking interview organisation
prepare the balance score card which is an important document to evaluate performance level of
an employee in different aspects (Goetsch and Davis, 2014). After preparing balance score card
organisation and their kinds of panels take decision that which candidate is best for organisation
and for their goals and objectives. After that best candidate select out of them and take important
decision by selecting competent employee and organisation offer candidate the job offer letter in
which all necessary data and information should be mentioned so that an candidate know their
roles and responsibilities in appropriate way and helps in achieve organisational goals and
objectives. It is one of best important HR approach to select best and competitive candidate that
analyse its responsibility and give their best.
Training and development:
Training and development is one of most important human resource practice that helps in
achieve organisation goals and objectives by making candidates enough competitive by giving
them necessary and potential skills and competencies. In case of Marrisons which is most
competitive and dynamic industry and to remain always competitive in market organisation have

to give training and development to their employees according to the needs in specific spheres so
that they can gain competitive strength by enlarge business opportunities. To conduct training
and development organisation have to pass through an definite path in which organisation access
spheres in which they lack behind and requires lot of attention such as in Marrisons when people
from different background come and give their services so some kind of disputes arise in their
organisation, in that case they organise training and development program in major spheres so
that they can gain large market share and gain competitive advantage (Huczynski, 2012).
Training and development HR practices are very much important for organisation because it
helps in attain strength in which organisation lack behind previously.
To make these HR Practices possible both employee relations and Employment legislation plays
vital role to enlarge business opportunities. By adopting these approaches helps to organisation
to build strong relationship with employees and legislation give direction to move on definite
path so that organisation can gain competitive advantage. So role of employee relations and
employment legislation plays important role to give direction in an definite path.
Rationale for application of Various HR M practices at workplace:
HRM practices are very much important for organisational goals and objectives as it
enables to monitor or evaluating works and performance of employee's so that they can give their
best in organisational growth (Pierce and Aguinis, 2013). In an organisation the best performer
and lower performer employees should be identified and accordingly the HR practices should be
implemented in an organisation. It helps in enhance their morale and productivity that is an
important attribute for organisational growth and enhancement.
The flexible working:
Flexible working which also known as flexitime and it is an non traditional working
arrangement that takes care about needs of an individual, involves degree of working from home.
Approach of effectiveness on employee and employer engagement:
Employee and employer engagement are very much important for an organisation to get
results in effective manner and it can be possible by effective communication and build
motivation level of employees to reach at desirable outcomes. In that motivation and
communication approach are very much crucial.

Key approaches and effectiveness of employee relations and engagement.
Employee relations and for engagement organisation use a collaborative approach that
states about relationship in employee and employers that helps in achieve goals and objectives
(van Dijk and et.al ., 2013). In case of Morrisons they give various works and activities to their
employees in different manner that decrease probability of conflicts in organisation and enhance
productivity. It facilitate good and healthy working relationship with environment and employees
by working in collaboration.

relationship with employer and employees by reducing conflicts at workplace and enhance
morale of employees by performing tasks in effective manner.
It provides collaborative working environment in which flexibility in working hours and methods
so that every one can give their best and enhance their morale.
The below mentioned legislations helps to organisation to move on right track and follow an
definite path in which all activities should be accomplished in ethical way so that they majorly
contributes in organisational growth and enhancement.
Key elements of employment legislation and their role in decision-making.

have right to take a written agreement in which all necessary such as terms and conditions of
working environment, structure of salary and roles and duties should be described as an illegal
practices.
Equality act 2010:
Equality act is one of significant legislation that come in to power in 2010, the main

provide their works and services in the firm and should be treated in fair manner In respect of

wages, environment, tasks and responsibilities so that desirable goals and objectives should be

Working time regulations, 1998:
Workin time regulation are very much important for an organisation that focus on
working hours and methods of accomplishing it in well manner. As per the legislation working
hours should not be more than 9 hours and if an employee work more than that they have right to
receive extra amount for that (Shappell and et.al ., 2017). This is an important legislation to
enhance morale of employees and productivity for them. This is one of most important for
employees because everyone work for money and prestige. In case of Morrison's they apply
various kinds of legislation and laws to so that they can maintain a positive environment at
workplace and helps also in decision-making.
Flexible working practices:
Flexible working practices is an important strategic tool to improve performance and
productivity and their are kinds of flexible working arrangements include part time and
compressed hours with mobile working adn career breaks with many more.
Employee relation is an important aspect in case of Morrisons for achieving goals and
objectives in a fixed time frame. Employee relation should be framed by applying various kinds
of laws and legislations such as equality act, working regulations in UK government for giving
best working condition and enhance thier morale. It helps in distributing tasks and duties to build
an effective plans and policies to reach at desirable goals and objectives. In that case role of
manager and other higher authorities helps in making good and healthy relationship with
employees and employer that enhance in their productivity level and profitability level in an
organisation.

part of organisation and its growth. HRM enables to accessing needs and wants of employees
