1. Human resources and planning: Human resource preparation appreciate the required
job posts in the collage and also identify the vacant job in the collage and in this context

all teaching position on the website Jobs.ac.uk., HR manager planning for clear HR
strategy and managing current and future workforce needs, this HR practices will help to
hire a relevant staff for their vacant post in the Woodhill collage.
2. Job analysis and design: Another function of workforce planning of HRM is job analysis
and designing in Woodhill collage. Every job analysis practices provide detail
explanation each and every vacant post in the collage(Armstrong, and Taylor, 2014).
Based on the job analysis collage new HRM department need to decide numbers of
teachers they want to hire in the single recruitment method in Woodhill collage. Purpose
of this HR activity to hire a talented and skilled teachers on the expected post in this
collage.
3. Recruitment and selection: On the basis of data from the hob analysis in the business
Woodhill collage's HRM team would formulate advertisement of all teaching vacancies
in the collage and give them on the website Jobs.ac.uk. That will help to let to know
candidates about job vacancies in this collage and eligible candidate would refer their CV
with cover document and HR manager will ascertain who should be given an interview
and HR manager prepare a unique interview questioner that would be asked in the
interviews to the candidates. Only A-rated candidates will be convinced to discuss about

recruitment selection is give talented and skilled employee to the woodhill collage and
2

they will assist to accomplish expected goals and objectives of this collage and fulfill all
the vacant post.
4. Orientation and Communication: In this next step, after recruitment and selection
process in the business the next steps' comes which is orientation and communication
program within the firm. The selected student would be given this program in the collage
and make them more effective to communicate senior teacher and employee in the firm
with fresh candidates within the firm. The selected candidate would also being told about
to the collage vision and mission effectively in this program. HR manager will conduct
an orientation program to let selected teachers know about collage culture and its
working system and moral values, they will be introduced to others employees and
coworkers in the collage. The purpose of this orientation and communication program to
develop a positive and successive image in the mind of new teachers and also their role

collage. The purpose of this workforce planning to assist teachers to better perform in
their area in the job and they will be more efficient to fulfill their responsibilities in their
sector. This all activity would help to achieve success of the Woodhill collage.
P.2. The strength and weakness of different approaches of recruitment and selection
Recruitment and selection is the process of the organisation's ability to meliorate the
quality of human superior and position in competition. M.2. The strength of different approaches to recruitment and selection: The one of the
main strength of recruitment and selection process have some effective works which is an
candidate who applied for the new post in the Woodhill collage need to prepare
themselves to make their performances more effective in terms of having all stage
recruitment and selection process. And with the help of this approach they would be able
to perform more well in the collage so that Woodhill collage would be able to hire more
talented employees and teacher at their desired posts in the collage(Bratton, and Gold,
2012). In this collage every manager and senior teacher know about to the requirements
and new job essential in the collage so that a better job vacancies can be generate in
3

effective manner so that new posts in the firm can be found out with the help of this
HRM practices. They also provide some practices and share some experience to HRM
department of collage so that an effective job recruitment and selection process can be
had effectively. Manager and administration advice's also help each business in tersm of
better development of job profile for required teacher within the collage and also make
some suggestion to new candidates which are required to the collage are discussed in
these exercises. Developing job list to the company is also another strength of recruitment
and selection process of this collage and there are many of vacant post raise in this
collage so that an effective post criteria can be generate within the Woodhill collage and
collage can hire more talented employees to their desired post within the collage so an
effective recruitment and selection process can be organised in the collage efficiently.
Apart from this, HRM department have also alternative option to formulate more
effective recruitment and selection process in very effective manner and also increase
teaching quality of the collage in better manner.
 M.2. The weakness of different approaches of recruitment and selection: A regular
disadvantage of recruitment and selection process is making the collage more competitive
in education industry as well. Trying to keep up with tempting being offer by Woodhill
collage's competitor in the institutional industry such as Higher pay, more comprehensive
health benefits, strong recruitment packages, effective allowances become more
expensive to the Woodhill collage. But collage need to keep up with the competition in
order to recruit talented and skilled teachers and staff to the collage(Brewster, and
Hegewisch, eds., 2017). Another disadvantage of recruitment process, which is not
appropriate method of having aptitude test and other written test, which is conducted by
the collage's HRM department. It may not give proper result in some particular situations.
Many times, it had been seen the collage that skill and capacity can not be determined
with the help of test. The written test can not be effective used by candidates, because this
person who is conducting this test are not supportive towards definite person and also can
not recognize an ability of candidate by test. Recruitment and selection process could be
time consuming. There is no guarantee that collage will gate good and appropriate
candidates.

EX: A FMS collage in UK, conducting hiring process to recruit new teacher in this
collage but lack of appropriate strategy of selection process they have hired some
unskilled teaches and resultant they being cause of decreasing the value of collage.
TASK 2
P.3. The benefits of different HRM practices within TESCO organisation for both employee and
employer
A successful company always promote the positive work culture in the firm and
favorable benefits with the help of HRM practices by keeping employee happy and motivated
towards their job role in the TESCO company. Effective and efficient training and development
of employee is essential element of TESCO's continuing growth in an increasingly commercial
world. Training provides a broad knowledge about to the relevant skill regarding the job and
development program help to develop their potential growth in the expertise areas. TESCO
requires employees who are committed and flexible in orders to raising its expansion of the
company(Budhwar, and Debrah, eds., 2013). Hired new employee and senior employee training
needs expectation would be identified by their competitive potential in the current market. HRM
practices of the company keeping employee happy and motivated towards their role and
responsibilities in the job. TESCO company's employee needs of training and development
program according to the current era. They have some old working process which is effecting
company's expansion negatively. For retaining the existing customers and acquiring new
customers, company need to conduct the latest techniques used training and development
program in terms of train a flexible employee workforce in the firm which will work to
accomplish the highest standards of the services to meet TESCO company's objective effectively
and efficiently.
M.3. Different method used by TESCO in order to developing its employee:
 Human resource management have some asset like employees, HRM professional can
use them to ameliorate their deal and use their flexible customer service skill to fulfill
company's need(Campbell, Coff, and Kryscynski, 2012). The weakness of this HRM
practices is, they feel demotivated when they are given extra work in the firm.
 HRM department of TESCO company provide support to their employee in orders, when
they feel that their rights are being violated in the firm and also those employees, they are
facing any kind of discrimination and harassment can directly contact to the TESCO
5

company's HRM department to provide them remedy to those employees in this situation.
The strength of this HRM practices increase the employee satisfaction level in the firm
that contribute to accomplish firm's goal and objectives.
 This firm provide training and development services to their employee to make them
more expertise in their field. For building a flexible workforce to the TESCO company
HRM team would like to promote worker, they provide a flexible workplace, including
flexible design of work environment that helps to employee to do more work hard and
very effectively perform in terms of crucial time of TESCO company(Chelladurai, and
Kerwin, 2017). Their employee will be more productive and have suitable for every
competitive environment situation and they do their job according to their full capability
and generate more profit to the company. This HRM practices strength is improved the
quality of their employees.
P.4. The effectiveness of different HRM practices in terms of raising organisational profit and
productivity Learning, training and development: Training can be explained as a process of assisting
a person for enhancing his efficiency and effectiveness to a specific field by developing
their more skills and experiences(Daley, 2012). It is the most essential part to become an
employee more skillful, flexible to providing the best services, experienced in their
required areas. The learning process is always a continuous process in anyone's life
experience. By the learning process they will be able to gain more knowledge through
training and development program of TESCO company. This training and development
program provided by the TESCO company provides the best activity and special working
zone to be friendly with the latest approaches of work more effectively and also these
practices help firm to raising their productivity and current employment. Skill training is
the process in which one is able to learn new development in the recent ear. The focus of
all aspects of HRM is on developing efficient workforce to the company that will help to
accomplish goals and objectives of TESCO company. Payment and reward management: Payment and reward system, these systems will
always motivate people in terms of raise the investment contributing develop thought,
which helps to encouraging the high authoritative advancement to TESCO
company(Harzing, and Pinnington, eds., 2010). This approach helps to enhance the
6

profitability and productivity of TESCO company. Because, there is huge scope of
raising work experience in the company by supporting the employee reward, payment,
special allowances and other benefits which will assist to boost up the work capacity of
the employee in order to accomplish a return on investment effectively. We have seen
reward will always raise the motivation level of their employee to work hard to the
TESCO company in terms of achieve their goals and objectives.
 Flexible working options : Flexible working option is another effective practice of HRM
building a flexible and adjustable workforce also enhance the productivity of TESCO
business, the reason behind it, recent employee scenario of TESCO company is expected
to work harder in the critical condition of the company(Kehoe, and Wright, 2013). HRM
practices provides a suitable climate to their employee in the different-different working
conditions. They provide required training and development program and resources on
regular basis for encouraging better performances and also teach them to work more
effectively to proving efficient services of the company. HRM practices helps to
increasing the thinking of being special in some particular circumstances and how they
can perform effectively in that situation to meet the TESCO company's goal and
objectives.
TASK 3
P.5. The importance of employee relations in respect of influencing HRM decision-making
Having a healthy relationship with employee is important for organisational success
attainment. A strong relationship with the employees is required for high fruitfulness and human
contentment(Kinicki, and Kreitner, 2012). Relation with the employee generally indicate
avoiding and resolving problems relating to the individuals and that might influence the work
scenario of the ITV company. It can be happened with the help of collective bargaining, having
consultation with selected employee representatives in the firm and direct engagement with
individual employee in the firm. Good relationship with employee depend on the healthy and
safe work climate, incentive and special allowances to the motivation of the employee as well as
effective communication in the company. ITV company uses wide rage of direct communication
methods to engage with individuals to know their issue and current scenario of the working
condition in the firm. When an employee does not perform as a policy of the company, this is
called employee indiscipline. There is very crucial situation wherein an individual cannot take
7

decision quickly about some important issues. But in corporation, often there are some other
fallow employees who are having brilliant ideas that can solve our problems very easily. Before,
we utilize any innovative plan, we must go for pros and cons of the plan to help to the excess the
problem and take opinion to overcome to that problem. We all employees share our experience
in the corporation to solve any issue easily in the ITV firm(Messersmith, and Guthrie, 2010).
Consultation with selected employee representative to better management and let company know
about the current issues in their working scenario, minimize the work load and working
difficulties on particular every employee in the firm and solve them effectively in terms of make
healthy environment and raise the productivity of the ITV company. Every employee can not do
anything oneself in the firm, and all the work responsibilities should be distributed among with
the all employee to solve them quickly and sufficiently. We have a good relationship with our all
employee in the ITV corporation and they will always assist each other to make any complicated
project easy. Our management is energetic and motivated in the company and other employee
can easily trust on them. These all working relationship influence the HRM decision-making
process, our HRM team behave friendly with their employee and HRM professionals observes
needs and requirement of the employee and also needs of the resources in the ITV firm which
will help to fulfill requirement and develop well performance of the all employees.
M.4. The key aspect of employee relation management:
 Employee in the ITV firm give much feedback to our HRM team to relevant changes and
development in the company(Marchington, and el.al., 2016). They give appropriate
advises to HRM team about some specific changes and that changes must be there to help
employee to do their job sufficiently and also increase the productivity and profitability
of ITV business.
 HRM team should follow friendly behavior with their employee to help to solve all
difficulties in the firm and help each other as well. The ITV company follow these all
employee relationship practices and these practices influence the HRM decision-making
process in favor of ITV company welfare and wealth increment as well.
 Some employee's advises may be productive and beneficial to efficient development in
ITV firm.

P.6. The key element of employee legislation and impact upon HRM decision-making
In auxiliary national legislation, every states has its own employment low legislation
impacting on the topic like record possession, labor relation, employee criminal record checks
etc. federal low directly the human resource management on the national level, while sometime
small business are not affected by the federal low, it is depended on the size of business(Purce,
2014). This term are required to the all HR professional and that are well known in every
changing areas of their state legislation rules and regulation towards the organisation to know all
the responsibilities in all the sector of HR operations.
M.4. The key elements of employee legislation:
 Working time, wages and salaries of the all employee must be revised annually basis on
the basis of their company policies and HR professional make sure all the activities
related to their wages and salaries must be accurate performing and that must be checked
in regular basis, because it can give bed impact on ITV company if, employee feel any
problem regarding this process.
 The leave provision must be there in any organisation to have rest in some critical
condition of health damage and illness of the employee. HR professional should ensure
that if an employee are disabled and they need to medical provision in critical condition.
That time, employee must have leave provision option to take leave for few days from
their job.
 Trade and labor union are here, since the 1930's to provide an equal bargaining power to
the all employees, it thoughts all about to the workers benefits like batter pay, well
working condition and ensure that employee are treated with dignity and respect on their
workplace in ITV company.
 Human resource management are influencing by the every state legislation provision
because, there are several options are available for the workers and employee can take
action against the firm. If they feel any kind of Discrimination and Harassment in ITV
company. So for all these aspects being mention in the policy of the company and all the
terms and condition must be there in the job profile description.
HRM professionals of ITV company are required to take all these steps carefully and
make their decision in favor of employees(Sparrow, Brewster, and Chung, 2016). For resolving
the conflicts and disputes in the firm, HR professional must have well known legislative
9

provisions in their kind, while they make their decision towards their employee. This all
elements affect the decision-making process of ITV company.
