P2 & M2 Selection and recruitment approaches along with their strengths and weaknesses
HRM is a best process in every organisation because it play important role in recruitment

it is main duty of manger to select and recruit knowledgeable candidates. In the way of better

empty position by selecting skilled candidates (Internal & External Analysis, 2017). In this
activity firm cannot bear extra cost in the round of interview. Also, an enterprise to not give
induction program to workers because they belongs with familiar with business structure
(Chelladurai and Kerwin, 2017). This methods includes promotion, enrichment and transfer of
present workers at work place. There are several disadvantages as well as advantages which are
as follows:
Strength Weakness
 The one of the main strength is
interview round cost is very less.
 It supports in maximising employees
confidence and motivation level.
 Employees hired internal approach
which are already aware regarding
business rules, policies, structures and
strategies etc.
 Many time this approaches can occur
disputes and conflicts in organisation.
 Several workers are does not like
modification in their actual condition
within workplace.
 This methods also demotivate their
workers who are not encouraged.
External Source: It is a second approach of selection and recruitment process. With the
support of this method Woodhill College can hired talented person from external of the
enterprise. This tool is assist in giving a high pool of expert (CHUANG and Liao, 2010). From
the same, an organisation can conducts different rounds of interview so that it acquire high
talented workers which are much appropriate for empty position. With the assist of this methods
cited firm can get knowledgeable candidates in order to achieve goals and objectives of an
enterprise. There are some merits and demerits such as weakness & strength which are as
follows:
Strengths Weaknesses
 This approach have creative and
innovative process and workplace of
recruitment & selection so it is a big
strength of external factor.
 High focus of this approach is manger
 Selection and recruitment process is
more expensive in this factor. Internal
source in this enterprise that have been
conduct interview round to acquire
most talented candidates.

choice because they are capable to give
information of the vacant position to
candidates.
 External person can bring innovative
knowledge and ides within business
that can support in leading higher
growth and success level.
 This approach not provide access to
human resource manager to determine
appropriate performance of talented
workers (Coff and Kryscynski, 2011).
Therefore, these are several approaches of selection and recruitment which are more
important. Cited College apply internal sources in the process of human resource management

practices and activities. Training is one of the essential part which define job is important for the
individual. The nest is development, it is also significant practice which leads organisation or
person in order to improve their quality in different level (Renwick and et. al., 2013).
Difference between T&D (Training and development)
Basis Training Development

Meaning It is a learning activity in
which workers acquire an
opportunity to improve their
competency and skill as per
the requirement.
It is an education activity
which obsessed with the all
growth and success of the
workers.
Number of person In this process different person
are present.
In this activity only single
person are involve.
Objective To improve employees work
performance.
To prepare workers for
potentials challenges.
Every enterprise conduct T&D program with the help of buyers expectation. It is
essentials for the TESCO, it is a retail store in UK. Main aim of this business to satisfy various
preference, likes, needs, demands and dislikes of its buyers in order to achieve long term gaols
and objectives. By giving training and development to workers and business. They can maximise
their actual skills which are needed to meet expectation of buyers (Sparrow and et. al., 2016).
Modification in their demand which can change in present strategies of organisation. By giving
different programs to workers, so Tesco can fulfil their clients’ needs in order to increase growth
and success.
Every person who are working in business so, their needs is best T&D in after fixing
targets and values of organisation. One of the main aim of mentioned store is diversification and
expansion for which it requires above events. Company objective to place correct person at
appropriate post. Firm can launch their new branch, so they want skilled and qualified person
who experience in this filed in order to achieve high growth and success. Within the training and
development program it cannot be possible. TESCO use different methods in T&D programs one
is On-the-job, it includes mentoring, job rotation, coaching and shadowing etc. the second is off-
the -job, it considers Case study, simulation, lectures and role playing etc. With the use of this
approach mentioned organisation can increase their workers current skills.
Structured training also known as process, it is used various enterprise to develop their
employees professional and personal skill. It provides core aid to those plans which is very
helpful in executing desired objectives. For achieving various goals of structured training,
company workers should contribute their hundred present in this T&D program in order to

perform their task in effectively. By administrating this process, an enterprise can satisfy their
clients by giving best service and quality product (Tarique and Schuler, 2010). That are produced
by the talented and knowledgeable person in order to increase buyer’s satisfaction. Under this
program also support in facing different issues. So in this situation talented employees can
remove each obstacles and problems with the assist of T&D.
P4. Importance of HRM practices
HRM practices is very important because it maximise company financial condition as
well profit. In this practices T&D program play essentials role in maximising workers current
abilities and silks. In this mentioned firm opened their new branches so they required skilled
employees who have experience in this field. Practices is help human to increase their skills and
ability in order to achieve organisation gaols and objectives. After executing T&D plan, TESCO
have to increase their revenues. Their revenue is 2 billion and they have 2200 stores in UK.
Cited business also increase their sales in every day. Within the training and development
program it cannot be possibly (Wright and McMahan, 2011). HRM practices also very essentials
because it increased P&P (Personal & professional) skills of the workers.
M3
As per the CHUANG (2010) says development program is very important for every
business in order to attain all goals and objective of its workers. Manger is responsible to give
support to their workers in business improvement. There are different workshop which is
arranged by the firm in giving counselling and coaching in an effective manner. In this events
performances of workers which can be evaluated so in this way they can achieve success in a
specific time period. For the better development and growth of HR, mentioned industry ask
various questions. One of the main strength of T&D program is increase buyers skills and
ability. Weakness is high finance level and different rules and regulation. The company profile
external and internal sources of the recruitment and selection. This factors have strength and
weakness which is define above questions. So this methods is significant in increasing
employees skill and knowledge.

D2
According to Barney (2011) says training and development programs are very essentials
for every business. They increase employees skills and knowledgeable. For example: Tesco
conduct different programs in their store related to the T&D. Because in this enterprise need of
talented and qualified employees. TESCO is a retail industry and they can maximise their
productivity and profitability with the use of HRM practices such as T&D and rewards (Wright
and McMahan, 2011). By giving this programs to workers, business can increase their present
ability and skills which can support in leading high success and growth. Also, by giving rewards
then firm can motivate their employees in order to attain goals and objectives of enterprise.
TASK 4
P5. Significance of employee relation
Employee relation is very important in every organisation to achieve business success in
growth in a specific time period. According the case study of ITV, this business is make better
relation in among the staffs so they can lead high profit. A person is not a machine because they
need different person to exchange their views and problems in reducing their tension. The
positive and better relationship in among employees are as follows:
There are several significant of workers relations are:
 Productivity: It is very important part to generate business actual position in
environment. It is very supportive in maximising the process of product
manufacturing. ITV expended their firm, in this employees relation necessary to
increment productivity. Communication: With the support of industrial relation
human resources manager can generate a better working surrounding where each
employees and employers can communicate their ideas and issues in a direct way
(Tarique and Schuler, 2010).
 Intensify social welfare: By developing employee relation, business also support
in maximising social welfare. In this situation organisation perform their duties
towards community in order to make strong image.
 Employee and buyers satisfaction: If ITV will give several services and facilities
to its workers. So their result is better satisfaction. Workers can supplied better
product and service quality which can give high buyers fulfilment.

 Therefore, it can be determined as positive relation, so it is one of the main aim of
HRM. Within the employees relation ITV cannot achieve and operate their
additional practices and activities in an efficient and effective manner.
HRM practices is a process of motivating, recruiting and attracting employees. So above points
define the importance of employees relation. These are highly effect HRM because in this no
proper communication get conflict and obstacles in between employees and employer.
P6. Key elements of employment legislation and the way it influences ITV’s HR decisions
There are different employment legislation which is influence human resources
management and person. ITV is responsible to give equal right to their employees. Health and safety Act (1974): In this act, company is obliged to give extra facilities to
their employees. As per this legislation, an organisation provides many necessary
information regarding health and safety equipment to workers.
 Equal pay Act (1970): As per this, business should not differentiate workers as per their
age, gender and other. Manger is responsible to provide equal opportunities for both men
as well as women.
Therefore, above legislation are essentials for the firm which are formed by legal
authority. It is required by every business such as ITV (Renwick and et. al., 2013). This company
is makes its HR procedures and policies regarding them otherwise it can offer from dissuasive
punishment as well unregistered.
M4
According to the Kehoe, (2013) Employee relation is very essentials because it makes
positive kinship between manger and worker. It can support in attaining objectives and goals of
an enterprise. So it is signifiant of ITV to make their policies and strategies which is includes
satisfaction and benefits of workers. As per the other hand, these legislation are aspects, it is
formed by the regime. To promote and protect employees interests. It is very essentials in
increasing organisation productivity and profitability in an effective and efficient manner.

D3
As per the Renwick, (2013) workers are the important assest of the business which play
important role attaining goals and objectives. Employees relation play essentials role in
increasing growth and success of an organisation. For better development and growth of ITV,
they provide the best T&D program to its workers so that they maximise their ability and skills
(Meredith Belbin, 2011). High talented and skilled employees contribute their best in the process
of training and development. So it is significant for ITV because they use different practices in
an effective and efficient manner. With the help of HRM practices, organisation increase their
productivity and profitability.
CONCLUSION

management. HRM is very important process it includes recruitment and selection. In this file
