Report will highlight the purpose and functions of HRM applicable to workforce planning. It will
also highlight strength and weakness of different selection approaches.
TASK 1
a) The purpose and functions of HRM applicable to workforce planning and resourcing an
organization.
Purpose of HRM- the purpose of HRM is to maximize the productivity of an organization by
optimizing the effectiveness of its employees. It has the main purpose of hiring and recruiting
effective talent so that firm can increase their productivity and profitability.
There are heterogeneous functions of Human Resource officer which is to perform, scrutinise the
critical issues faced by the Chocolate Presence organization and rectifying them in timely
manner without any delay.
Chocolate Presence is an organization known for its expertise in tailor made chocolate-based
greeting cards. As there is high unemployment in the area in which the company is located. It is a
great opportunity for this company to recruit the appropriate candidate and fulfil the deviation of
the “QUALITY ISSUE” which the Chocolate Presence organization is facing and also the poor
recruitment process in which the organization is failing to conduct professional interview and the
test and also giving priority to the references.
As a Human Resource officer, Sit is essential to MANAGE the Chocolate Presence
organization's employees and provide support to HRM by taking appropriate action towards the
deteriorating factors of Chocolate Presence organization.
In Chocolate Presence organization there is a need to improve the recruitment process by
recruiting the talent by conducting professional interview which is not just an informal round of
15 minutes rather a serious discussion must be there which scrutinise the people who can really
devote to the Chocolate Presence at there best. As a Human Resource Offers the purpose is to
follow the process of the recruitment to get the best possible result. Such process is mentioned
below:
RECRUITING PROCESS:

Planning:
Planning is much needed in the organization because it will decide the comprehensive job
specification. The relevant responsibilities, education, skill required, experience required and all
the terms and condition of the job. Here the appropriate candidate should be selected based on
the above mentioned requirement and the role and responsibilities of him or her should be clear.
Medium:
There are many media via which the Chocolate Presence can do recruitment like adverting on
newspaper, Facebook, Instagram and several other platforms. Here there is a plenty of
unemployment which can be fulfil via these medium. People will become more aware of it and
there will be more applications as well as more competition, and it will ultimately help the
Chocolate Presence in selecting the best out of the best.
Short listing:
Short listing the candidate or screening of the candidate after getting applications involves great
time and effort, here the Chocolate Presence is expanding at a rapid pace and is in need of the
new and innovative talent which give a further glow to the organization, and helps in expansion
of the organization as per the trend. For example, there are so many applications for the
university but it selects the best candidate so the name of university or reputation of the
university cannot be questioned. In Chocolate Presence organization they are also facing the
quality issues, so short listing the appropriate candidate for that role is very important.
Reward management:
Salary or wages is also an important factor which a HR officer of Chocolate Presence should
consider at the time of selection so that it avoids any chaos between the employee shortlisted and
the employer. The employer should decide to which department it is required to pay more or less
and also pay according to work experience. Here in the Chocolate Presence Organization
Chocolate production team should be paid more to hire the most excellent talent. Reward
management can be in cash or in kind. Rewarding the employee for the good work done by them
in form of gifts annually, giving holidays or giving discounts on tickets to travel, they are some
the example of rewards in kind.
Training and development:

As an HR Officer the purpose is to develop the employee and keeps them motivated towards the
work by conducting several activities like yoga and aerobics, meditation, playing sports etc. it
will keep them alive and will keep them motivated and enthusiastic towards the work. Also by
giving them training and making them learn the required skill from the experts in the Chocolate
Presence organization or may be at the desired area.
Performance management:
Performance management consists of over all performance of the employee, the purpose of being
an HR officer is also to manage the performance by evaluating the performance done by the
employee in timely manner and conducting meeting regarding strength and weaknesses of the
employees. If the employee is working not at the desired pace then telling them about the poor
performance and the ways to improve it, it is to be done not in the public and appreciating the
employee for the good work done openly to boosts the morale of the employee and this will also
encourage the employee to work more effectively.
b. Explain the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches of recruitment and selection.
Recruitment and selection
Company is making use of homemade assessment test (promotions) which is a time
saving process as chocolate company already know the work ethic and approach of the
employees already working with them. It is money saving process because less paper work and
they do not have to issue new keys passwords etc. It can allow introduction of new innovative
ideas to the chocolate company. The new hired candidates may have less political issues in the
firm chocolate presence organisation.
Company is also making use of informal chat as the method of recruitment and selection.
It provides higher number of choices for selection to the chocolate company (Bailey and et.al.,
2018). In this hiring new candidate can bring new excited innovative ideas to the company.
Informal chat can measure confidence level, communications skills, and presentation of the
applicant. Informal chats determine the detailed information in depth as well as personal
thoughts and opinions of the applicant. It can create discord in between the other employees and
can be harmful for the environment of the company. It provides limited choices for selection to
the chocolate company. It is a time consuming as well as money consuming process – hiring new
candidates. It can be time and money consuming process as they need to hire an talented HR who

are involve in informal chat. It’s difficult to determine the honesty and integrity of the applicant
during informal chat.
c) Two improvements which company can adopt
Chocolate presence can make use of methods like formal interview, so that they can hire
effective and efficient talent.
They can also use methods such as CV, job description so that more they can choose best
candidates from the pool of employees.

b) Benefits of offering flexible conditions to employees
Training-and-development programmes

In HRM the effectiveness of the organisation to grow its overall productivity and rise the
profit of chocolate presence company can happen when training to the employee are given in the
fair manner in their relevant area of work. The company will grow its productivity when the
HRM department invests the money on developing the skills and knowledge of their employees
(Lasserre, 2017). The training is given to employee to understand the importance of the position
in the company and make them responsible for the work which they have been assigned for.
Through this the chocolate presence company able to work with the productive employee which
will increase the company performance and the sales of the company will be at the higher point.
Employee performance
The assessment is done in overall working period of the employee in the company
making the company to understand the capability of its human resource in the company. The
performance is significant factor for the employee as well. The company can understand the
employee qualification and can hire the right candidate for the right position in the company. In
chocolate presence company the effectiveness of the HRM on the performance of the employee
make the company to get to know the employee potential in return which will increase the
organisational performance through which the company will increase its share in the market.
Reducing communication barriers
The effective company grows its market share when the internal environment of
the company is flexible for the employee and the management. The organisational profit
achieved with help of the better communication channel. The employee is able to convey its
problems and the suggestions to work freely in the organisation without any problems. In
chocolate presence company the proper channel of the communication makes the easier for the
organisation to understand the lower authority problems and know internal issues deeply which
will help the company to understand process related to the manufacturing of the chocolate which
can be in solved and company can reduce the time gape of the production through this the
productivity of the company will increase (Nolan and Garavan, 2016).
Fair and incentives reward
In this the HRM is effective in terms when the employee is able to provide
something extra to the company in return the company gives reward to the employee to motivate
the employee to work hard. In chocolate presence company when employee gets motivated and
the incentives are given to the employee they increase their efforts in the work which increases

the organisation efficiency and effectiveness. When efficiency increase it minimises the waste
produce in the company and the company utilises its resources properly which helps the
organisation to save their money.
Security and safety
The security needs are most important factor for the employee according to the
Maslow's need hierarchy theory when the employee feels secured for the job. Employee gives
best of his ability to the organization. The effectiveness of the HRM lies on the employee to give
best to the company. In chocolate presence company the employee are retained in the company
for the so that the company cannot lose its potential employee by providing security of job and
safety of health (Brewster and Söderström, 2017). This helps chocolate presence company to
preserve the talented people in the company which will increase the standard of the company by
having potential employees in the company through which the productivity and the profit of the
company increases.
c) Motivation of employees by Microsoft
Microsoft used to motivate its employees by various mehtods which are mentioned
below:
Creating a work environment which is positive
Microsoft creates a positive work environment in which there are almost no chaces of
disputed among the employees and this helps the employees and the employer to maintatin a
good relationship and also this motivates the employees to work more. In order to increase the
productivity the company uses the tool known as despute mediator.
Incentives
Microsoft pays the employees really well on the basis of work performance in which the
employee's performance is evaluated and the one who have really worked hard is paid also well
(Delery. and Roumpi, 2017). This motivates the other employees to work accordingly in order to
achieve the same results.
Sharing profits
Microsoft instead of investing the money towards the growth of the business the
company invest the money towards the salary increaments of the employee which motivates the
employees of the Microsoft to work more dedicatedly.

TASK 4
a) Employee engagement and its importance
Employee engagement refers to the workplace approach which is designed for the
employee so that they are committed to accomplish the organisational goal. Employee is
considered as the human capital for the company. Happy employee of the company will effort to
give best to the company in its growth and productivity will be increased automatically.
Employee engagement is important in company due to following reasons.
BUILD NETWORK AND LOYALTY: the employee relationship plays a significant role
in understanding the needs of the employee from the company. By building the positive
relationship the company increases the moral of employee and creates the positive environment
for the employee. This how the chocolate presence company HR takes decision to motivate its
employee and give them professional learning programs to develop their skills and make the
company become the best in the competitive market (Ansoff and et.al., 2018).
EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE: the employee relationship with the company for the longer
time will increase the employee scope for experience in the company. The chocolate presence
company makes HR department to take decision for the employee to promote them and provide
them the experience letter which will help the employee to step up more successful in career.
The experienced employee builds confidence and encourages for working hard in the chocolate
presence company (Analoui, 2017).
CONFLICTS: In the chocolate presence company its important that the company make
the healthy and the peaceful work environment for its employee. The HR of the chocolate
presences company focuses to keep the work place as enjoyable environment for the employee.
The conflicts decrease the productivity of the company to overcome this the decision is taken by
the HR to reduce the conflicts and built strong relation between the employee.
b) Key approaches of engaging employees
The key approaches through which employee can be engaged in the Microsoft are explore the
opportunities, mentor a colleague, make ambient relation with work, etc.
Explore opportunities: employee in Microsoft can be engaged providing learning
programmes to develop their skills.
Mentor a colleague: examine your work properly and analysis how to make it better.

Make ambient relation with work: the employee can make close relationship at work so
that they can become productive.
Communication gets improved in the organisation as to take the decision the company
required a manager or the supervisor to take decision on the individual basis by forming groups
and taking decision on that group. The company focuses to give proper guidance make them
understand the working environment of the chocolate presence company. The HR of the
company takes decision on delegating the responsibilities to its lower authority with giving the
accountability to do their work with proper understanding. The work load on the employee of the
chocolate presence company is less and make them to work potentially in the company.
The productivity in the company is the significant part as it increases the company sales
and helps the company to develop its competitiveness in the market. The employee relation
makes the HR to take the decision on increasing the revenue of the company and happy
employee will attract other people to become the part of the chocolate presence company. The
success of the company will increase the reputation of the company in the market with the brand
images.
c) The key elements of employment legislation and the impact it has upon HRM decision-
making.
Each state is having its own separate laws and these laws sometimes beneficial for small
organizations because of the small size of them and so as the operation. So the HR must be
sound enough towards the related laws or applicable laws and must be updated always to
prevent the Microsoft from any liability.
Microsoft as a giant software company must be prominent in following of all the applicable laws
to ovoid any penalties. Agile employees are employed in the Microsoft company and so the
operation should also be agile of the Microsoft. There are several legislations which a HR must
follow and are stated as follows:
Discrimination Act 1995:
Discrimination Act 1995 stops abusing against employees on the basis of colour, religion,
sex. This regulation is applicable on Microsoft because Microsoft has had 20 or more employees
on the payroll. On the basis of the above mentioned reasons the employer can not discriminate

the employees and can not refuse to hire them. Hence, the HR decision-making will prevent the
employees from such nuance.
The Fair Labour Standards Act (FLSA)1938:
The Fair Labour Standards Act (FLSA) determined the amount for the minimum wage
which is periodically revised and it also applicable to Microsoft. HR professional should be
updated continuously for any change in the minimum wage rate. HR professional should also
verify that whether the accuracy of the wage paid to the employees on continuous basis to
prevent Microsoft from any penalty which is very high. FLSA also applies to the employees
working overtime that is more than 40 hours a week. Microsoft must be very careful related to
follow this law because it can create disaster to the Microsoft if not followed on regular basis. So
the HR decision will help the employee in getting the overtime wages and it will boost the
employee to work more and get reward for that.
FMLA (The Federal Family and Medical Leave Act) 1993 :
FMLA (The Federal Family and Medical Leave Act) allows taking 12 weeks of unpaid
leaves in a 12-month to the eligible employee, the leaves can be of various reason such as serious
health issue of the employee (spouse, child, new baby born of the employee). Up to 26 weeks of
leave are allowed for the employee who is caring for the eligible employee in the employee's
critical situation. The HR staff should train the manager and relevant person regarding this law in
the Microsoft. The employee of the Microsoft does not even have to mention FMLA to request
for the leave to the employer and the burden related FMLA time appropriation lies on the
employer. Perhaps the HR decision will help the employee in getting appropriate leaves during
there critical situation and also the employee will not be getting fired.
Disability Act 1990:
There are many federal laws for the employee working in the Microsoft having disability.
The Disability Act do not allow the employer to fire the employee on the basis of disability. As
per the Act the employer have to provide reasonable accommodation to such employees with the
disability apart from the accommodation the Act also allows various other facilities for the
employees which the HR of the Microsoft have to comply with on regular basis. There are
several other laws and regulation also related to disability and medical some of them are as

follows: Genetic Information and Non-discrimination Act (GINA), The Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) etc. The HR decision related with Disability and
Medical will enhance the positivity and confidence among the disabled employees.
So these are some the laws and regulation which the HR of the Microsoft must follow to create a
positive impact on HRM decision making.
CONCLUSION
From the above study it has been summarised that human resource management has
helped company in growing. It has supported company in meeting its objectives. They had made
use of open communication so that employees understand the change effectively. This has also
helped company in improvising the relationship between employee and employer. Firm has also
provided support to their employees while initiating change. This has helped workers in
understanding change easily and effectively. To properly implement the change firm has also
made use of various theories like situational leadership. In this leaders has adjusted to
modification according to situation. This has supported firm in growing. It has also helped
