Developing employees to perform effectively
One of the purpose of HRM is to make sure that employees are enough capable to carry
out all the activities and function of the organisation. This helps employees in maintaining
quality and effectiveness in their work so that they are able to link their performance to
organisational objectives. Employees are developed through the training and development
practices.

organisation.

objectives. This requires HRM to establish different tasks and job roles through which Tesco can
complete all functions of organisation and they can contribute in attainment of organisational
objectives.

with recruiting from within organisation through promotion and transfer and external involves
identifying talent from external sources and recruiting them in organisation.
