MAIN BODY
TASK A
Examining how values was created by Loreal by utilizing human resources strategies
In the world of business, a company create value for employees and business by using
effective and useful HR tactics. For example, HR manager at workplace develop value for
workers by using key concepts of strategic HRM such as developing plan in context of
performance appraisal (Wahyuni and Irawan, 2020). It is one of those strategies that human
resource manager create to motivate individual candidate at workplace, which in return increase
their performance and productivity of Loreal. It can be said that though provoking, and aim
oriented performance appraisal has added value to the practices of each worker, it helps to
increase their productivity and boost morale even better than last few months or years.
Along with above concept, HR manager may also consider other as well to create a value
at work areas. For instance, training and development programmes within Loreal is the best
example of strategic human resource management concept, which contributes to add value and
improve the efficiency and competences of employees (Aburumman and et.al., 2020). With new
competences, better knowledge and skills on the way forward, HR manager training &
development attempts in regard to employees are much more likely to motivate and encourage
productivity. When workers develop new skill by taking part in training sessions, they may work
better and get its benefits in term of appraisal, incentives, etc. which in return increase job
satisfaction.
Human resource management within Loreal also contribute to create value at workplace
for each candidate in term of developing plan and providing security to employees. Employment
security is included in list of those effective HRM strategies that provides a lot of advantages to
company and its applicants as well. With the help of this strategy, HR manager has successfully
retained skilled employees in firm and attract new who are also as productive as existing people.
It is one of the biggest reasons for workers to come to work daily and do their best in order to
achieve strategic aims and objectives of organization. This concept of strategic HRM is
important and underpins almost everything that Human resource administration does. With the
help of this strategy, management may reduce risk of high employee turnover in company.

TASK B
Analysing the affect of national and regional culture on practices of HRM in Asian nation
In the world of business, there are varied forms of factors available whether internal or
external that impact current management practices and ways of strategic planning. For example,
regional culture is one of those external forces that put positive impact upon practices of human
resource management in term of making fewer efforts to understand their needs, expectations
and requirements at workplace (Cooke, Schuler and Varma, 2020). A cultural sphere refer to
aspects of culture that encompasses with an ethnolinguistics unit and boundaries it inhabits. It
made HRM able to serves people a sense of making and controlling their performance. It helps to
shape the behaviour and attitudes of workers, which drives their attention towards aim
achievements when Loreal operates in Asian nation. On the other hand, it may impact negatively
when employees believe may change, it brings a lot of complications for HRM at workplace
within Asian market in context of managing performance of existing employees along with new.
Human resource management may take initiative to understand the culture of those nations
where their company is currently operating.
National culture also affect HR management practices in negative manner, as it moves
them towards making major modifications in existing plans and strategies according to workers
in Asian nation, where believes, culture, region and attributes of individual person is quite
different from EU market where Loreal has already operating its venture. National culture drive
attention of HR administration towards making chances in their current practices, which is quite
important but challenging as well in term of consuming time and efforts (Cooke, Schuler and
Varma, 2020). It can be analysed that national culture exerts a strong impact on systems of
attitudes, nature, productivity, and values of people in the Asian market who came from another
nation such as European Union. The dimensions of national culture put negative impact on
preferred strategies of HRM in Loreal in Asian nation (Bose, Madhur and Bansal, 2020). It may
put a lot of pressure upon management to do a lot of attempts to understand Asian culture and
beliefs of its residents, which is important to comprehend totally and appropriately for human
resource manager.

value in their organization (Participative innovation in business:

social value that will result in innovative and improved products that are sold by the company.
Participative innovation are termed as management method that is used by Loreal for collecting,
stimulating and acting ideas that are given by the stakeholders in the business (Wilson and Elder,
2018). It creates the value in the organization by building involvement of the employees by
motivating them by improving employee recognition, along with supporting the strategy of the
company that will also result in financial benefits and generating savings. It is not used by Loreal
to collect the ideas but it also used for facing the challenges that is regarding selecting so many
ideas and then implementing it in the better way. It can only be achieved by the companies if
they communicate with the employees by increasing their involvement by inspiring them and
providing the outlet related to the talents. It gives various benefits to the organisations that are :
 It supports the organisation for growing their business
 It also helps them to build up the contribution of the employee by involving them at the
time of decision making.
Participative innovation is very important for Loreal and its culture because it is the largest
cosmetic company in the world which have to come up with innovation to compete with its
competitors and to be one step ahead from the other cosmetic industry.
