Human resource management2IntroductionHuman resource management is a key aspect that drives businesses across the globe. This function deals in managing the employees of the organization. This includes recruiting and selecting the right employees of the business, defining their jobs, roles and responsibilities, evaluating their performances, ensuring and managing their appraisals, promotions, addressing their grievances and planning their compensations as well as fairly rewarding their performance (Hendry, 2012). Human resource management strategies adopted by companies have changed over a period of time. The advent of strategic human resources has ensured that the business doesnot has either dearth or a surplus of employees at any given point of time (Foster, 2014). This is important to ensure efficiency in using resources. This report throws light on the ongoing trends and challenges that companies face while resourcing employees. The case study in consideration is Tesco and the report explains recruiting, training and inducting employees at Tesco.Trends and challenges in people resourcingThe human resource management scene is consistently changing owing to increasing globalization and digitization of the world. The recent trends observed and challenges faced by TESCO and other organizations are as below:Trends Social media recruiting has been adopted by a large number of firms due to the widespread reachof social media platforms. Every leading company finds it largely beneficial to publicize the available job vacancies on their Facebook and twitter pages. This has helped companies in reaching out to a large audience and has led to a higher number of applications. Social media hasalso made an employee profile transparent and hence has made it easier for businesses to gather professional information about their potential candidates (Gibbs, MacDonald & MacKay, 2015).Another growing trend is the presence of a globalized workforce in organizations. Globalization has made it comparatively easier for businesses to break geographical barriers and establish presence in international markets. This has led to creation of a global workforce in organizations (Vance & Paik, 2015).
Human resource management3ChallengesGlobalized workforce comes with various advantages like increased competency and enhanced innovation but along with that the presence of a global workforce poses a challenge of cross cultural differences in organizations. This may lead to conflicts and adversely impact the working environment in the business (Kooij, Lange & Heijden, 2015). TESCO works in 12 countries of the world and it is often difficult to increase an understanding of different cultures and create cooperation among employees.The advancement of communication and free flow of information has led to employee poaching. This refers to competent employees being lured to join another organization by competing firms (Kim, 2014). This largely affects organizations is one of the major challenges faced by people today.The increasing demands of competent employees has also made them largely expensive and hence the people resourcing now requires deeper efforts and higher costs. The large presence of job portals, career consultants and social media jobs have presented a plethora of jobs to candidates to select from.Recruitment and selectionRecruitment refers to the act of hiring more employees into the business. They are selected through a guided procedure. This is an important part of the business as effective recruitment practices result in competent employees working in the organization (Shackleton, 2015). Vacancies are created in the business every time the company plans to expand its operations, changes its process or its employees are either promoted to different responsibilities or they voluntarily move to other organizations (Chaneta, 2014). In order to attract candidates for vacant positions (both store based and non-store) in the firm, TESCO does internal as well as external recruitments. Important aspects of TESCO’s recruitment and selection policies are as given below:
