Introduction
Human resource management is the process of hiring, selecting, training, and developing
employees in order to help the company meet its individual, organizational, and social goals.
Human resource management selects the most qualified candidates from among thousands of
applicants. It gives staff training and encourages them to stay with the company for a longer
time (Boxall, P. and Purcell, J. 2009). The human resources management of Tesco, a
corporation formed in 1919 in England, has been discussed in this report. It's a store that sells
goods in the United Kingdom. In this unit, we'll look at the HRM tools and techniques that can
help them to get the most out of their employees. Also, the value of employee training and
development in the growth of the company.

About TESCO:
Tesco is an international retailing firm that specializes in groceries and products. It was
founded in 1919 by Jack Cohen and is headquartered in England. Tesco is the third largest
retailer in the world in terms of gross revenues and the ninth largest retailer in terms of
revenues. It operates in the United Kingdom, India, Malaysia, Ireland, Thailand, the Czech
Republic, Hungary, and Poland, among other nations. Tesco offers a diverse range of
businesses including apparel, books, electronics, gasoline, financial services, software,
internet services, and telecommunications (Shen and Benson, 2016).
Tesco's mission statement is to "be the champion for consumers, assisting them in enjoying a
better quality of life and a simpler way of life."
Tesco's purpose: Tesco's main goal is to "serve shoppers a little better every day." Tesco's
strategy underscores the fact that servicing consumers is at the center of all they do, from
retail employees to support staff (Koopman, Lanaj and Scott, 2016).
Tesco's objectives are as follows: Tesco's goals are to boost sales and profit first and
foremost. Second, they need to lower their prices. Third, they want to include more healthy
eating options in the large variety of items they sell.
Fourth, Tesco wants to build a major online shopping site to improve online shopping
experience, and last, it wants to eliminate unemployment in society by hiring local people.
Human resource management (HRM) is a strategic approach to recruiting, hiring, deploying,
and managing a company's employees (Potts and et.al., 2016)

Human Resource Management (HRM)
Human resource management has certain specific aims in the recruitment for a longer period
of time of the best employees. Human resource management makes it easier to take steps to
improve an employee's competencies and talents (Mondy and Gowan, 2005). Human resource
management aids in the enhancement of employees' value-generating potential in order to aid
in the creation of value for the organization. Recruitment functions, recruitment and selection
of functions, training and function development and management are all examples of
particular human resource management functions. In order to adequately execute these roles,
management must do a number of other tasks.
Purpose of Human Resource Management
As Tesco's human resources manager, I have required to execute specific measures. The
following objectives must be considered:
The department for human resources ensures the employees have better facilities to
achieve their best possible business success. It provides demand-based training
facilities from changing environments. Since the staff are the most important resource
for the enterprise, the ultimate aim of the company that provides the maximum the
company value should not otherwise be properly managed (Gennard and Judge, 2010).
Several laws and regulations must be adhered to on a regular basis. The goal of human
resource management is to find the gaps between existing rules and regulations and
the company's human resource activities. Human resource rights are protected by a
number of laws. For example, the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act of 1967.
Human resource management seeks out ways to help people enhance their present
skill levels by giving proper care and support (Armstrong, M. 2002). The management
feels that if adequate communication is developed, employees' difficulties may be
captured and suitable feedback can be supplied on time. The entire performance of
employees genuinely helps the company achieve its goals.
If an appropriate communication route can be established, the communication gap
between employees can be easily filled. Because the human resource manager is in
charge of a varied workforce, it is vital that they foster an environment that encourages
employees to openly share their thoughts.
Tesco's Human Resource Management function is as follows:
To achieve the goals, Management is responsible for the following tasks:
It keeps records of department goals and assigns adequate human resources to assist
them in achieving their goals so that the company's ultimate aim can be realized
(Grensing-Pophal, L. 2010).
