Importance of recruitment, selection and training procedures for Nestle
Recruitment and selection process is an important part of any organisation as it has a

According to Chand, S., 2019, there are three models to train workforce of a company.
These are system model, transitional model and instrumental system development model. Nestle
can implement system model so that improvement in working potential of workers can be
achieved in a proper manner. This model includes five different phases. These phases must be
repeated by Nestle on regular basis so that improvements can be carried out as per requirements
of market and customers. Different steps associated with this system model of training are
mentioned below:
 Analysis and identification: Here, the training needs are identified like employer and
employee requirements, what must be leaned by employees, changing needs of customers
etc. on this basis a performance measure is developed so that actual performance can be
evaluated in a proper manner.
 Designing: To achieve the purpose of training, in this phase manager of Nestle identified
the objectives of training, learning steps and structuring of content so that employees can
be trained as per national and international demands.
 Developing: In this phase, activities of training programs will be listed so that expected
goals can be accomplished in a timely manner.
 Implementation: This is the most complex phase of this system as one wrong step can
results in failing of entire training program. In this step, all above mentioned processes
are implemented in a proper manner.

accomplished so that work performance can be improved in a proper manner. By
providing training to employees, Nestle will be able to meet international standards in a
proper manner.
P2 Project management plan with cost aspects, scope, time, quality and communication risk

Khanna, 2017).
Time: This aspect is defined as total time period which is needed to accomplish a
research or project in a systematic manner. Any of the research requires specific time period so

investigation, required time for investigating recruitment, training and selection in context of
the organisation is 7 weeks. In this particular research, the researcher will take approx 2 months
4

to complete all required information and collecting opinions of respondents. In addition,

way.
Communication: It is referred to the manner by which members working in a project
interact and communicate with one another to share details properly. Researcher use various
communication tools that helps them to collect different relevant data and information about the
research. In this researcher can take the help of telephones, emails, social media to
communication as it is one of the best platform to get relevant information (Nicholas and Steyn,
2017).
Risk: These are referred to the uncertainties that can reduce or hinder the effectiveness of
a specific project. The risk in context of this investigation relates to different rules and regulation
which are difficult to abide along with lack of communication, cultural difference, varying rules

TASK 4
P7 Reflect on the value of undertaking the research to meet stated objectives
In order to collect relevant data and information about the concerned topic, I have taken
help of different sources such as books, journals, questionnaire, magazines, internet etc.
With the help of these listed resources, I was able to accomplish all research objectives
within timely and proper manner. I have carried out research on the topic of “ improvements
28

in recruiting, selecting and training procedures of employees so that international demands
can be fulfilled properly. While working on this research, my strengths were my advanced
interaction and communication skills, time management skills, data analyzing and
interpretation skills. Due to the presence of these skills, I was able to complete project
activities and operations in a timely and systematic manner. Beside this, I have faced some
problems while achievement of research objectives. These problems were lack of cost, lack
of resource, lack of analytical and research skills. Due to lack of these skills, it was difficult
for me to accomplish work in a timely manner. This research will benefits me in working on
my future projects in a confident and proper manner. Below are mentioned ways by which
my research and analytical skills can be improved:
Competency How I have developed in this
area
Why I need to do to develop
further in the area
Analytical skills It can be improved by dealing
with different situations which
are complex in nature. It can
be developed by engaging in
research work which help in
resolving issues in more
effective and efficient way.
This help in taking opportunity
to conduct research for
different client countries. This
will help me to carry out
further research for another
clients and bring out effective
results to them by dealing with
complex situations.
Research skills It can be developed through
engaging in learning classes so
that during research most of
the respondents can be
selected.
It help in making research for
future clients which brighten
my future in research work.
CONCLUSION
From above discussed report, it is concluded that recruitment, training and selection
of workforce benefits an organization in gaining high advantage in both national and
29

international market. To carry out research in a proper manner, both qualitative and
quantitative methods such as questionnaire, observations etc. are required. To manage
project activities in a timely manner, Gantt chart and WBS is needed. Data analysis helps in
interpreting collected data in an organized manner.
