INTRODUCTION
Leading and working with people in an organisation plays a vital role in attaining a sense
of motivation and commitment within its employees in the workplace. If the leaders and the
supervisors guide their co workers in the correct direction of achieving the company's goal, it
will help the employee to gain motivation and work hard to achieve the success. In the current
era of globalisation and hyper competition, the management of the company should lay a
significant attention over the most important element of coordination and cooperation among its
employees which helps to resolve conflicts and create an equal work environment. The present
report highlights the major concern of Purple Mail Company (PMC) in implementing an
effective leadership and management techniques. The said company is one of the leading courier
firms in UK which lacks in managing its business operations in an appropriate way. As a result,
the firm suffers from heavy losses. In order to overcome such major challenges of PMC, the
report broadly focuses on the recruitment and selection process which lays a significant impact
on the business performance along with the importance of leadership which provides the
direction to work as a team in order to achieve the organisational goal.
TASK 1
1.1 Documentation to select and recruit a new member of staff
In order to enhance the hiring and retention criteria of PMC along with ensuring a level
of consistency in its process of recruitment, the company is recommended to follow the mention
steps in an effective manner- Step 1- Identifying the Vacancy and evaluating its need- The company should first start
by identifying the vacancy in its organisation and correctly evaluate its need in the
present context (Chelladurai, 2006). Doing this would help PMC to hire the right person
for the right job designation. Step 2- Developing a position description- The company should create an appropriate
position description in order to implement a successful hiring and recruitment process. It
is generally used to create interview questions, referencing the check questions and
evaluating the overall interview process. Step 3 – Developing a Recruitment Plan- Each job position in the mention company
requires a well executed recruitment plan to attract and hire the best eligible candidate.

The major elements of such plan includes the details of posting period, placement goals
along with the diversity agencies which is mandatory for the company to provide to its
selected or interviewed candidate. Step 4- Reviewing the Applicants and developing Short list- Once the recruitment plan is
implemented and the position description is developed, the company is then required to
review its applicants and conduct certain test in order to short list them (Robertson and
Cooper, 2015).
 Step 5- Conducting the interview- From the short listed candidates, the company
thereafter conducts the interview round to select the best candidate from among the
masses.
Apart from such documentation, the company is highly required to prepare job
description and person specification in a significant way.
