Manpower planning is a process in which analysis the future needs and wants for

skilled people for required vacancy in the organization. The internet based recruitment strategy

covers wide range of the geographical area for the applicants for apply with their direct to the
companies websites. (Abraham and et.al., 2015).
As strengthen, Tesco is in a good position to effectively recruitment and selection of
candidates within the organization. This strategy helps to the company for selecting the best
candidates for the organization (Chung and et.al., 2014).
This is a selection characteristic where the business entity is show their '' staying power ''
on a particular detailed of the vacancy required when they hear any thought to the company
questions. In such manners, company also have posted on the website about the needs of the

they also display the job vacancy on their website but the candidates apply or upload their
resume and also waiting for the call but from Tesco no any return responses or call to the
candidates regarding to the job. (Abraham, M. and et.al., 2015).
TASK 4
a. Analysis the importance of workers relationship in respect to influencing HRM decision
making (5)
Maintaining good relationship in an company is a prerequisite aimed at organizational
success. Powerful worker relationship are required for increasing production within the
organization and customer satisfaction. Employee relationship mostly deals with the avoiding
and resolving all the issues and concerning individuals. Incentive for the staff members and
motivate them to increasing the working performance and the retention in the organization. All
the employees are feels good because the company giving extra benefits to the employee, they,
also doing their job with high efficiency and reduce all the disputes between themselves.
Motivation and effective communication system with the employ's helps in organization growth
and success because team building and effective team work always beneficial to the organization
an it is possible with the helps of employees (Human Resource Management (HRM) - Definition
and Concept 2017).
Such factor from Improving employee relations in the organization:-
 The employee has expected from the management fair and true judgement. Thus the
management must be focuses on reliability with all employee of the organization. Two

way communication between the employee and management. They also direct connect
with the management (Chung and et.al., 2014).
 Always maintain good relationship with the employee and interact with them. Tesco also
focus on the employee development and careers growth and also motivate them to
increase working efficiency (Rees, G. and Smith, P. eds., 2017). Employee;s must be
rewarded and appreciated for a well-done job for achievement of goals or targets set by
the organization. It is beneficial for both of them for increasing personal growth as well
as organizational growth (Petty and et.al., 2015).
b. Identify the key element of employee legislation and the impact it has upon HRM decision
making (P6)
Employment legislation is one of the most important aspects that are needed to consider
to make sure that each individual get an equal employment opportunities and protect against
discrimination. It provides a minimum standard through which HR department formulate HR
strategies in the workplace (Abraham and et.al., 2015). ITV consider legal and regulatory
framework that impacts on the HR department. It will be further described that are mentioned
below:-
Developed good Communication: - Keep two-way communication with a manage
correct power structure, the management provide the authority to the employee communicates
with the top management for any types of the issue or problems regarding to the work in the
organization (Van den Brink and et.al., 2013).
Equal pay act 1970:- It is a that element of employment legislation in which it protects
the employee against discrimination on the basis of sex, gender, race, physical disability and
nationality origin etc. The equal pay act 1970 ensure that every individuals in the organization
get an equal pay for a same level of job position. It will be based upon their work experience,
qualification, skills and capabilities. It directly impacts on the HR decision in which it
formulating pay structure on the basis of terms and conditions under this act (Begum and et.al.,
2014).
Sex discrimination act 1995: This act come into existence in order to facilitate all the
needs and expectations of all people in a society. An employer is required to use this particular
act in their business and recruitment practices as the motive of this particular act is to safeguard

the interest of all the employees working in an entity. Discrimination will be prohibited by a
manager of a business concern as created by an employer will be abolished as this will lead to
create conflict in the organisation among all the users of a business (Chung and et.al., 2014).
Trade unions and workplace representation: - Trade union means a particular group
of a employee within each other. In other words it is a voluntary organization of workers fromed
to protect their interest through collective action. It may be establishing on plant basis, industry
basis and depends on the specific country rules and regulation. Trade union is also beneficial to
the company as it organize the workers under one banner and encourage them follows to
peaceful means for getting their demands accepted (Renwick and et.al., 2016).
c. Evaluate the key aspects of employee relations management and employment legislation that
affects HRM decision-making in the organization.
Every organization have needs of employee for running a business in a right manner with
the helps of particular man- power and establishing good brand image in the market.
Management must be focuses on the employee's right because human being are not machines
who can start their work with push of a mere button. Management also gives authority to them
discuss idea, views, opinion, shared them with each other because individual cannot work on his
own. Employee relationship is very important term to running a company with effective growth
and achieve set targets with in the organization. Human resource management also find-out the
best solution and effective strategy for maintaining good relationship with employee (Van den
Brink and et.al 2013).
Discussed below why worker relationship important for the company :-
Various issues on which an individualistic cannot take judgement alone: - The
employee wants and needs the training and guidance and advice of others as well as. Sometimes
the organization miss out the important points. Employee depends on the top management for
doing any action within the organization and the top management decides the decisions is final
or not. Workers are comes with the best ideas thought which would be helps to succeed the
reference at a untold faster rate. Before implementing any plan, the negative or positive must be
considerable on an open form where every employ6ee have right to communicate his/her views
with other's freely (Petty and et.al., 2015). this is very difficult to judges to where the plan of
action is wrong or right.

Work becomes easy if its divide into all: - In this method the work is easy because
divided into the staff members of the organization. All the employee working with each of the
department and separate departmental work in the organization. Adopting this strategy then
Tesco also find-out many solutions of the problems regarding to the working within employees.
(Rudolph and et.al., 2017).
If the employees work together, the organization becomes happy place: - The
employee will not be able to focus on the things, if his mind is thinking about all the unnecessary
things. Usually people discuss man\y things with each other. This will release the tension and
they start feeling better. If any individual trust the other person, then they will get relaxed.
(Begum and et.al., 2014). Many people don't like to go to office just because they are not talking
to the person sitting right next to him. It is not even possible that anyone one can work 8-9 hours
without taking any break.
Individual feels motivated by others' company: - Employee feel safe, secure and
confident which will help him in delivering his best. A normal sense of trust is essential simply
should recognize where to attraction the formation. It is not always necessary to share the things
with the employees (Chung and et.al., 2014).
d. Explain the application of HRM practices in a work-related context(D3)
Everyone is not looking only for technology. It can also be used to connect the entire
world. This will be helpful for the recruiting team to find out the best talent for their company.
This will be having direct impact on the performance of the organization.(Abraham and et.al.,
2015).
Recruiting through social media: - This process of recruitmment is not new because
every organization is using this processs. All the employees and the candidates are also aware
about this process. These processes are getting more hike just because of the few innovative
technoques like video calling or video confrencing (Hunter and et.al., 2017). The company will
take all the consideration into account as they are not using the traditional method of recruiting.
The referral source can also be used while making any sort of recruitment.
Tracking system of applicant: - This type of technology will be having one of the most
essential technological impact on the recruitment process. The managers or employees can be
hired so that the search of right candidate will become slight easy. It is possible that one resume

of an individual can not be considered ever, so for him it will be very hurtful. The best possible
way of using this technology is by using a skilled and experienced person. They can track those
resumes which are not taken into account by Applicant tracking system (Saifalislam, Osman and
AlQudah, 2015).
Mobile recruiting: - The large group find itself as one of the most advance method of
recruiting because the best results can be achieved by this. The career page can be optimised to
find out the best resume. The candidate can get positive response by the organization after using
this technique. (Renwick and et.al., 2016).
CONCLUSION
From this report, it has been concluded that Human resource management handle the
working procedures and applications which is directly affecting the daily routine of the people
wither in the group or in the project team. Employees right is protected by the leagl and
regulatory framework. To achieve the desired goal, Tesco is using their reward system in the best
possible way. It is very essential for any company to maintain their regulatory and legal
framework in this competitive environment of marketing.
