INTRODUCTION
Human resource management is concerned with the management of people within
organization. This department performs variety of activities from employee recruitment, training
and development to performance appraisal of an individual employee at workplace (Kozlowski
and Salas, 2009). In this regard, four different scenarios have been taken to better understand the
difference between personnel management and human resource management. Furthermore,
report also describes the impact of the legal and regulatory framework on human resource
management in different situations. At the end of the report, researcher would be able to identify
the reasons for cessation of employment within company.
TASK 1
1.1 Difference between personal management and human resource management
Around the end of the 19th century, history of personnel management begins. Initially, it
was framed for the purpose of providing protection to women and girls. The main aim behind
developing HR policies was to improve working conditions. During the First World War,
changes were raised and women were recruited in large numbers to fill the gaps left by men.
After that, job of labour manager or employment manager came into exists and large departments
were made to handle absence, recruitment, dismissal, queries over bonuses and other kinds of
issues in a proper manner (Huemann, Keegan and Turner, 2007). With the changes arise in
economy and global market, a way of recruiting, retaining and motivating employees were also
changed. During the 1945s, the new term personal management was defined which integrated
employment management and welfare work together. During the 1970s and 1980s, motivation
and organizational behaviour, human resource management and employee commitment and
motivation related theories were framed (Beattie, 2002). As per the given case, David wants to
open a new Italian restaurant chain of 10 Italian restaurants called ‘Mamma Mia’ in London. In
this regard, human resource consultant has been appointed to support new business and deliver
excellent customer service within stipulated time. In order to educate David about HRM policy,
it is essential for HR consultant to provide clear differentiate between personal and human
resource management (Dimba, 2010). .

Table 1: Difference between personal management and human resource management
Personal development Human resource management
 Traditional approach to manage people
within organization.
Modern approach of managing people.
 It focuses on personnel administration,
employee welfare and labor relation.
It concentrates on acquisition, development,
motivation and maintenance of human
resources.
 In this technique, job design is done on
the basis of division of labor.
In HRM, job design function is done on the
basis of group work and team work (Kozlowski
and Salas, 2009).
 Decisions are made by the top
management by considering rules and
regulations (Armstrong 2011).
Decisions are made through enhancing
employee's participation and decentralization
functions.
 It is a routine function and focuses on
increased production and satisfied
employees.
HRM is a strategic function and it is concerned
with all level of managers from top to bottom
(Guest, 2007).
1.2 The function of HRM in contributing to organization purpose in given scenario
The major role of HR manager is to plan, develop, and administer policies. Human
resource department is concerned with the people and their management. As per the given case
scenario of Italian restaurant, it is clear that organization will require talented and skillful
employees to carry out different activities in an appropriate manner. In this regard, newly
appointed HR consultant can appoint people from different roles that can be enlisted as follow.
Administration department of company will be able to perform record keeping, historical record
of previous action and measure employee relations (Kinnie and et. al., 2006). Besides that, HR
department of enterprise will perform various functions such as recruitment, safety, employee
relations, compensation and benefits. Despite of that, training and development function is also
performed by HR manager of company to provide training to new employee at workplace.
Along with this, it is responsibility of HR consultant to carry out different human
resource management activities such as reward management and performance management
(planning, monitoring and recording) to grasp business opportunity in an appropriate manner.

The success of recruiters and employment functions can be measured in term of recruiting
number of talented employees (Torrington and et. al., 2009). For example: Training related to
housekeeping and hospitality can be given to the restaurant staff and the their performance can
be judged on the basis of monthly evaluation basis. In order to execute restaurant functions in a
significant manner, it is necessary for HR consultant to provide training to its staff members
because if they will be trained then they will motivate to give their best at workplace so that
quality of services will offer to customers at right time at affordable price.
1.3 Roles and responsibilities of line managers of different restaurant
Restaurants are fast-paced businesses and to attain aim and objectives of HRM, it is
necessary for line managers to perform their duties in a proper manner. Mamma Mia will be a
large Italian restaurant chain and it would be having large number of employees. It is
responsibility of HR consultant to establish communication between different departments and
employees (Tsui and Lai, 2009). In order to manage human capital, it is responsibility of line
managers to perform selection, recruitment, training and coaching activities in an appropriate
manner.
Figure 1: Roles of line managers
Besides that, employee engagement, appraisals and mentoring activities are also performed by
HR consultant in Italian restaurant chain. Apart from this, line managers play crucial role to
maintain discipline in the workplace, decide performance-related pay structure and assess
performance and behavior of employees within organization (Youndt and et. al., 2006).
There are a number of areas in a restaurant for the role of line manager: advertising,
interviewing, selecting, hiring, orientation, and discharge of HR. The responsibility of the line
manager of Mamma Mia is usually heads the safety committee. This committee makes efforts to
6

keep the belongings as a safe work place through proper policy and operation. Besides that, line
managers are also responsible for performing different operations including monitoring over
operational costs, allocation of work, managing relationship with customers and checking quality
of products. They are also responsible for measuring operational performance of firm as well
(Kinnie and et. al., 2006).
1.4 Analyze the impact of the legal and regulatory framework on human resource management
on Italian restaurant
Recruitment and selection is very important part for any organization and transparency is
required in this whole process to recruit best talented employees. In order to establish new
restaurant, it is essential for HR manager to follow legal law and regulations developed by UK
government (Jackson, Schuler and Werner, 2011).
Sex Discrimination Act 1995/97: According to this law, it is responsibility of management of
company to equal treat with their employees without any discrimination at workplace. Indirect
and direction discrimination on the basis of the age, gender and their marital status are illegal in
the UK. During the recruitment of new employees, HR consultant of Italian restaurant must be
followed this regulation to decrease chance of discrimination at workplace (Edwards, Scott and
Nambury, 2007).for example: advertising related to Social Care Home must not encourages
gender biasness. For this they can advertise the ad campaigns with a famous female social
worker. National minimum wage act: It is essential for organization to follow this legislation
which emphasizes on that employee gets a minimum wage rate per hour (Kozlowski and
Salas, 2009). By considering this law, HR consultant of Mamma Mia restaurants will be
able to provide fair wages to their workforce as per the guidelines set by government. Equal pay act 1970: As per this law, it is responsibility of newly appointed HR consultant
to ensure that there is no discrimination with the employees in employment on the basis
of financial terms (Lo, 2015).
 Data Protection Act 1998: This act was developed to protect anyone to use personal
information of individuals for their own usage. In addition, it can be helpful for
organization to protect people's fundamental rights and freedoms. For example any data
or personal records of the employee and worker must be kept confidential. With is the
company related data must also be kept disclosed.

TASK 2
2.1 Analyze the reasons for human resource planning in organizations
In the context of anticipate future business and environmental forces, human resource
planning process is beneficial for organization. It provides facility of assessing requirement of
manpower to perform organization activities in a significant manner. The main purpose of HRP
is to assess need of human capital to carry out different business functions within stipulated time
and other reasons for HRP are: (Kopp, 2006). Shortage of Manpower- Despite, the decade full of unemployment, there is a shortage of
human resources with proper qualifications, skills, and ability. That is why human
resource planning is needed. Casual Vacancies- There are so many uncertainties with employees in a company such
as, uncertain death, physical inability, etc. hence human resource planning is needed for
smooth functioning of an organization (Huemann, Keegan and Turner, 2007).
 Facing Dynamic Environment- In a dynamic environment like today, where nothing is
stable. Human resource planning is needed to cope up with risky environment, climatic
conditions
Besides that, in the context of starting up a new Social Care Home locally, new firm will require
4 managers and 20 support workers. In order to perform various activities such as marketing,
recruitment, administration and finance activities, care home will require talented and skillful
workforce. In this regard human resource planning process will be beneficial for company
(Guest, 2007). Despite of that, HRP will be required for organization in conducting different
functions such as analyze enterprise objectives, forecasting demand and supply of human
resource, estimating manpower gaps and formulating the human resource action plan etc.
2.2 Stages involved in planning human resource requirements
In order to ensure right candidates for right job, Social care home can consider human
resource planning process that can be explored as follow. Analyzing organization objectives: The main aim objective of company is to recruit best
and talented employees for providing quality of services to customers at affordable price. Inventory of human capital: At this stage, current number of employees, their capacity,
performance and potentials are considered. For the purpose of conducting different
8

operations, management of organization will require 4 managers and 20 support workers
(Edwards, Scott and Nambury, 2007). Forecasting demand and supply of human resource: According to their job profile, by
effective use of internal and external sources requirements are measured and fulfilled.
The forcast of demand and supply is doneThen the market research is done. Number of
candidate needed, there qualifications, skills and aptitude are then tested (Lo, 2015).
Their job profile, job evaluation is keenly done. There should be proper matching of job
description with job specification, and the profile of the person should be suitable to the
Social Care Home. Estimating manpower gap: Comparison of human resource demand and supply is
required in order to identify actual position of workforce such as surplus or deficit of
human resource (Kozlowski and Salas, 2009).
 Formulating the HR action plan: At this stage, action plan is implemented with
considering needs of recruitment, training and interdepartmental transfer. Furthermore,
technology change, labour market competition and changing nature of work has to be
identified to implement human resource planning process at Social care home in a
significant manner (Cattell, 2006).
 Once the demand and supply is seen, manpower requirement are then evaluated
(Kinnie and et. al., 2006). That means the vacancies are filled according to
comparison between demand and supply. Two type of manpower:
1. Surplus – it means if employees are more than needed so terminations are done.
2. Deficit- it means if less of employees are employed then addition of human
resources is done.
2.3 Compare the recruitment and selection process in two organizations
Companies Recruitment Selection
Tesco  To fill the vacant position,
enterprise is built internal
talent plan.
 Appoint employee for
recruitment
 People who have interested in
 Organization relies on offline
recruitment method and they invite
candidates on the basis of skills
and knowledge
 Proper list of candidates are
prepared in which information
9

store job can direct approach
store with their CV (Compton
and et.al., 2009).
 If employee will meet
internally then training and
development programme is
developed.
 Both internal and external
sources are used for
recruitment such as E-
recruitment method, external
vacancy board and employee
referral and many more.
 Firm effectively use social
networking sites to
communicate with candidates
and collect information about
them like personal and
professional details
about candidate select and waiting
list are mentioned.
 If vacancy is still vacant then
suitable candidate is call for
further recruited (Analoui, 2002).
Asda  Use online recruitment system
 HR management of
organization promotes career
opportunities through internal
staff and taking help of
consultancies firm.
 New candidates will call for
interview on the basis of their
knowledge and skills like
qualification, education, and
expert area knowledge
 Shortlist appropriate candidates for
interview at Asda Reality’ or ‘Asda
Magic assessment center
 Conduct the interviews base on
critera set by firm
 Reference checking task will be
done.
 Conditional offer of
employmentwill provide to new
candidate.
10

(Kozlowski and Salas, 2009).
 Internal recruitment process to
enhance speed and efficiency
of recruitment process and
save organization cost also
(Jackson, Schuler and Werner,
2011)
For internal recruitment, Tesco looks after its “talent plan” to fill the vacancy. Internally the
employee’s performance is judged for promotions (Lo, 2015). If no suitable candidate is there
then it advertises its advertisement on its internal portal. So the Tesco’s plan of recruitment and
selection is more feasible (Huemann, Keegan and Turner, 2007).
2.4 Evaluate the effectiveness of the recruitment and selection techniques in two organizations
The effectiveness of recruitment and selection processes have followed in Tesco and Asda
can be compared on the basis of different parameters.

recruitment and selection
processes.
The recruitment policies and procedures of Asda is more effective as compared to Tesco
because it focuses more on online recruitment pattern. They also pay more attention on learning
basic computer skills and so that it is helpful in future. On other hand the job description and
analysis parameters is more effective in Tesco because it considers experience more prior to
knowledge. It is very important to have experience of different situation so that an individual can
effectively handle different types of problems related to business. The recruitment methods of
both Tesco and Asda are similar and hence both are effective.
Moreover, in recruitment process Asda and TESCO follow some more points:
Online application- for the details of education company take fill out the online
application. In this, candidate enter their qualification detail, their hobbies and interest area
which are related to the work.
Personality Questionnaire- At the time of submitting their online application company
want one personality test report from the candidates.
On the job evaluation- In this organization give some task to candidate and according to
the performance head department select them (Huemann, Keegan and Turner, 2007). In this they
analysis how they at tamp their task and how they lead the team of employees.
Interview –In this the last section where top department take an interview and ask some
question which are related to the work and their practical knowledge. In this section head
department analysis the personality of employees and how they interact with other members.

TASK 3
3.1 Assess the link between motivational theory and reward
In order to run consultancy business in a proper manner, it is essential of management of
company to integrate link between motivation theory and reward at workplace. In this regard,
Maslow and Herzberg two factors theories can be considered (Huemann, Keegan and Turner,
2007).
Maslow theory: This theory provides information about most fundamental levels of needs of an
individual within organization. As per the presnet case scenario, this theory is appropriate
because it helps HR department of organization to identify and fulfill needs of employees.
For example, if company will provide reward to its employees on time then they will be able to
meet their psychological, esteem and actualization needs in a proper manner. All their needs will
meet then they will encourage for giving their best at workplace. According to this theory there
is a direct link between motivational theory and reward system. The reward offered by any
company can be in a negative or positive way. Positive motivation way can be persuading all the
workers to produce good quality job so that they can be promoted to higher level.
Herzberg two factors: This theory is based on hygiene and motivation factors. Physiological
needs safety and social needs under the category of hygiene factors. In the absence of these
factors, employee will de-motivate to give their best at workplace. On the other side, esteem and
self actualization needs come under the motivating factors. For example, if will provide
monetary and non-monetary rewards to them on time then they will motivate to retain with the
firm for long time period. By meeting esteem and self-actualization needs, motivation level of
staff-members can be enhanced (Lo, 2015).
3.2 The process of job evaluation and other factors which determine pay
Job evaluation of an individual is highly depended on some dimensions which include
work, knowledge, skills, work complexity, leadership and the complexity of the decision making
role. These dimensions play a crucial role in the context of deciding salary of employee at
workplace. In order to decide payment of individuals, target achieved by employees (sales,
growth and financial) and benchmarking related factors are also considered by HR management
of organization (Torrington and et. al., 2009). Effective procedure of job evaluation is:
Job evaluation: it is is a systematic process for defining the roles and responsibilities of
individual candidates within organization.
13

Types of Non-analytical Schemes:
Job Ranking: In this process, HR mangerof retail firm can compare the whole jobs with one
factors and arranging them in order according to rank provided
Job Classification: By comparing the whole job with a scale, slotting of jobs can be done into
grades like skill, decision making and responsibility (Edwards, Scott and Nambury, 2007).
Analytical Schemes:
Factor Comparison: It is based on an assessment of factors and it provides opportuinity to HR
manager to assign a large number of jobs to be ranked at one time and decide payment related
decion at appropriate time.This method can be used to prepare adequate payment system. In
addition, by using method, each factors are assessed separately like job role and contribution of
employees so that payment regarding decision can be taken in a proper way (Lo, 2015).
Points Rating: In this method, points are allocated according to the level which are needed for
the job. By applying this method, firm can be able to judge performance of employees on the
basis of skill, effort, responsibility, and job conditions factors.
3.3 Effectiveness of reward systems in different contexts
Reward systems are varying from industry to industry due to change come in working
environments. This fact can be understood with help of taking example of reward system used in
manufacturing companies and software development firm. In manufacturing sectors,
organizations are highly focused on different factors such as child care, extended parental leave,
career breaks, cafeteria incentive schemes and performance-related pay etc. Extrinsic reward can
be provided such as bonuses, share, gifts, commission and target bonuses etc. to motivate
employees to give their best at workplace (Bernardin and et. al., 2011). With adoption of reward
system both the employee and the organization benefited from it. The productivity of the
organisation increased, they got quality work. The relationship between the employees and top
managers became healthy. Performance of the employee increased and they started working hard
to achieve organisational and there own personal goals (Lo, 2015).
The effectiveness of reward system brings advantages and disadvantages both. They are:
 Performance With adoption of reward system, both the employee and the organization
benefited from it. The productivity of the organisation increased, they got quality work.
 Salaries And Wages-The relationship between the employees and top managers became
healthy. Performance of the employee increased and they started working hard to achieve
14

organisational and there own personal goals which in turn help the employees to earn
more.
Reward offered by any business organisations have a very positive impact and effect on
all the employees of the firm. It motivates the workers and guide them to improve the
performance to a more better level. Further it also help in job retention for a longer period of
time. Employees who are rewarded timely stick to a particular job and enhance their interest in it.
3.4 Methods used for monitoring employee performance
In order to monitor performance of employees, organizations can use different strategies
such as watch employee’s work, one to one conversion with individual, self-monitoring tools and
review work in progress on a regular basis.
Quality of work- Quality depends on the the number of projects an employee is working on. Are
they finishing there projects before deadline? These are the question which will help to
understand the root cause of issues faced by employees of Tesco (Huemann, Keegan and Turner,
2007).
 Carrying out client survey- The feedback of client about the employee, his work help the
company to understand the employees performance working in Tesco.
 Mentoring: In this training method mentoring is always done by a superior person. They
works to develop an attitude. Managerial employees uses it. It is also day to day
interaction(Patel, Messersmith, and Lepak, 2013)
 Lectures and Conferences: This off the job method helps the employees to get knowledge
through lectures and conferences. These program starts with lecture and conference. It is
a verbal way to train employees. These lectures and presentation motivate employees.
The subject must be good enough. All over the corporate sectors and in education
institutes it is the most common form of training.
 Simulation Exercises: simulation means creating an artificial environment or situations
related to real world. There are 3 techniques of simulations. They are: Management
Games, Case Study, Role Playing(Saks and Belcourt, 2006).
 Job Rotation:It is a training process in which employees get rotated by series of similar
jobs. Rotation help employees in performing their task with quality. It also takes away the
boredom and allows to develop a good interpersonal relationship with large number of
15

employees.

Figure 2: 360 degree method
(Source: Jackson, Schuler and Werner, 2011)
Along with these strategies, HR manager of companies can measure performance of staff-
members in terms of monetary and non-monetary contributions, 360 degree assessment method,
use whiteboards, dashboards, peer appraisals, observation and taking feedbacks from colleges,
customers, suppliers and other departments (Lo, 2015). Checklist method can be used for the
purpose of performance of an individual at workplace (Kozlowski and Salas, 2009). For
example, to support existing clients, enterprise can develop performance plan that can be
understood as follow.

TASK 4
4.1 Identify the reasons for cessation of employment with an organization
As per the present case scenario, client operates a medium-sized firm that produces
seasonal greeting cards. He wants to understand reasons which are responsible for cessation of
employment at workplace. Reducing budget, performance, attitude and behaviour, dismissal of
employees in wrongful and unfair ways are the main reasons responsible for employee’s
termination. In addition, an individual can terminate job due to resignation, retirement,
termination of contract, and redeployment causes (Edwards, Scott and Nambury, 2007). In
addition, employer may terminate the employment of an employee in some circumstances such
as :  Business Conditions- Due to dynamic environment and unfavourable conditions,
sometimes business has to face some difficulties such as low profits. In these conditions
company cannot meet there employees demand and so terminate them.(Kozlowski and
Salas, 2009).
 Behaviour- Sometimes the behaviour of the employee creates problem. For
example:some of the companies policies are not shown to the client but the employee did
the same. This makes a breach of contact and so termination.
 Complex techniques- Tesco uses these techniques which includes critical reviewing such
17

as internet monitoring, wire tapping, GPS tracking, interaction on social media, etc.
Cessation of an employee can be due to various reasons. If the performance of a
employee is not satisfactory and is lowering the quality of business organization then the
company has the rights to terminate the employee. If an employee breaks the rules and regulation
during and after the probation period then he/she is liable to be terminated according to the
company's rules and policies.
4.2 Employment exit procedures used by two organizations
In order to understand exit procedure, Tesco and Asda enterprise can be taken. HR
management of Tesco is followed a particular procedure for all the employees leaving the
organization on a permanent basis. Before the employees leave the organization, some steps are
followed that can be enlisted as follow (Purcell and Hall, 2015). Exit interview, means the face
to face interview of the employee who is leaving the job. This method is used to know what
employee is thinking about the work place, the working environment and to know the reason of
their leaving the job (Kozlowski and Salas, 2009). In addition, pension arrangements on leaving
are also provided to some employees (who are above the age of 50 -55) on the basis of their
experience and contribution in firm. On the other side, HR department of Asda is emphasized on
retaining staff if possible or make the exit a well-documented and easy process. Begin transfer of
employee knowledge, document the employee’s key impressions, complete operational
responsibilities and conduct a proper employee exit interview to solve their issues (Compton and
et.al., 2009). Exit procedure follows in Asda is very simple as compared to Tesco and employee
has to give 15 days’ notice period to the manager. Further, by making positive idea, manager will
try to identify the reasons of resignation (Kozlowski and Salas, 2009).
Asda uses the same exit procedures for all the employees who are willing to leave
the organization permanently. The HR team of Asda conducts an exit interview to review the
reasons of exiting from the organization. They try to retain the employees if possible because all
the resources working in Asda plays an important role in helping Asda achieve great heights and
success. They also provide pension facilities for employees who have worked for longer period
of time.
Exit procedures used by Tesco are as follows: Knowledge Transfer Question-These questions are related to transfer of job or any related
promotion in job. Vital knowledge of the employee cannot be lost. This is the reason why
18

transfer of knowledge is necessary in company like apple and Tesco where there are large
number of employee. Responsibilities Related To Operation- Before leaving of the employee, the practical
details of departure is done such as software clean from the personal laptops, office keys
is return, I-cards given back, data erased, salaries account of the employee is closed etc.
As there are large number of workers are there in companies like Apple and Tesco. Standard Exit Survey- This survey is related to the employee . For example: Is he happy
with the past staff?, reason of leaving the company, etc. Then these data reliability is been
checked with the the statistical data.(Tittel, 2011)
 Face To Face Interview-lastly, face to face interview is taken for the workers well-being
and the improvement needed in the company regarding other employees, working
conditions.
4.3 Examine the impact of the legal and regulatory framework on employment cessation
arrangements
Law and regulatory frameworks in the UK directly affects the cessation of employees.
Without any fair reason, any organization cannot terminate employee from employment (Tsui
and Lai, 2009). If employer will not follow legislation developed by UK government then
employees are free to take legal action against the employer. There are two types of
terminations. They are:
Lawful Termination - these terminations are based:
1. On The Basis Of Time- In this type, the employees can be terminated once once they
serve the given notice period. That notice period can be 30 days to 3months.
2. On The Basis Of Contract- in this type, the contract gets terminated once the employees
complete the work for which they were hired.
3. On he basis of behaviour- different individuals come from different background to
complete organizational goal. Some employees behaviour such as absenteeism, not
punctual, not having good relations with other employees, etc creates problem in the
organization. So termination is the option left (Edwards, Scott and Nambury, 2007).
This lawful termination does not affect the organization working. Overall these termination leads
19

to efficiency and effectiveness in the organization. Where all the targets are achieved.
Unlawful terminations- Unlawful terminations such as a company at loss, fire its maximum
employees without the notice period. These terminations affect the goodwill of the company
(Kozlowski and Salas, 2009).
Major impacts of current legislation and policies have been noticed in cessation of
employees from the organization. According to these legislation no business organization is
responsible for justifying their termination to the employees. The law and order have given them
rights to terminate any employee in the middle of work term even without furnishing appropriate
reasons. This ultimately have a very negative impact on life and career of all the workers in the
organization.
CONCLUSION
From the report, it can be concluded that human resource management can play an
important role in achieving enterprise goal and retain best and talented employees with company
for long time. Motivation theories and exit procedure are followed within enterprise can be
helpful for firm in term of reducing employee turnover. In addition, legal framework is followed
within company also influence performance of companies and staff-members associated with
company. On the basis of the facts, it can be said that Human resource management play an
important role in term of achieving growth and success in a significant manner.
