and developing staffing plan, which are as following.
Recruitment- Recruitment is one of the main roles played by HRM for resourcing Sainsbury.
Here candidates are selected by HRM on the basis of their talent and skills. To accomplish this
task HRM uses two recruitment methods which are, internal recruitment and external
recruitment. In case of internal recruitment existing employees of company are selected whereas
in external recruitment candidates from outside organization are selected. This is done to
improve the working capabilities and goal achieving capabilities of organization.
Training and development- HRM also provides sufficient training to their employees, so they
can improve their working efficiency. By doing so HRM motivate employees to learn new skills
and provide creative ideas for improving organizational working. By efficient training employees
will be able to effectively implement changes, which are made to improve organizational
working. This training by HRM will also enhance employee's loyalty towards Sainsbury because

employees at their work place. These rules are the combination of government and organization
policies which are made to assure a safe work place. Following are some governmental laws,
Discrimination laws, Health-care laws, minimum wages, worker safety and labour laws. By the

they are not followed by company then they have to pay penalties for that. Therefore HRM make
sure that these laws are being followed.

customer demand. So they develop requirement of employees which are needed for improving

are not appointed in their field of interest then it will make a negative impact on their
performance.
