INTRODUCTION
Human resources refer to people who make the workforce of a particular organization,
economy or a country (Amuna and et.al., 2017). The branch of management which deals with
human resources is known as Human Resource Management. The department which deals with
them is known as HR department. This assessment is focused on a company named Fantastic
Events and Tents (FETes) formed after merger between two companies- TeT and MaM. In this
report, a detailed analysis on human resources will be made. For this assignment, two issues
related to human resources within an organization will be considered such as Motivation,
Performance and Reward and Leadership and Management.
MAIN BODY
After the merger between the two companies the new company formed i.e. FETes is

 Conflict between employees- There is a lot of conflict happening between the
employees of TeT and MaM. This is so because of different work culture both
companies followed and the lack of understanding between the employees after merger.
Every employee wants to be superior to another one which is creating conflicts. Also
conflicts are being created because everyone wishes to take decisions on own rather
than consulting with the team-mates before taking of decision. Difference in opinions
also makes situation complicated as everyone has different views about dealing with a
particular situation. Thus this is not good from the perspective of an organization
because will reduce the overall efficiency, effectiveness and productivity.
 Issues with virtual workers- Many of the members of staff have demanded to do work
from home. Thus this has created an issue as many people who work in the office are
complaining about the lack of cooperation they receive from the staff working remotely
because many of them do not respond on time to emails and phone calls. Also the
employees at office doubt about the efficiency, effectiveness and productivity of staff
working remotely. This has created an issue of cooperation and coordination as it has
been seriously impacted which is leading to a decrease in the overall output of the
company.
Motivation, Performance and Reward
Motivation refers to an internal process (What is Motivation?. A Psychologist Explains,
2020). It can be a drive or a need. It gives a person energy to achieve something which is desired.
It helps in achievement of goals and objectives. This is required to be given to employees of a
particular organization so as to improve their efficiency, effectiveness and productivity.
