support the business to expand their organisation but also enhances their marketing procedure
through promoting their products online or communicating freely and transporting their goods
from one place to another. Present project is based on Nestle company which was founded by
Henri Nestle in 1866. This company mainly deal their business in food and drink products and
by these services they are to be considered to be one of the largest food company whose revenue
is CHF 91.43 billion (Turton, 2017). They are engaged with large number of employees working
in the premises and also they enhanced their brand name by recruiting the people on the bases of
the skills, knowledge and experience. The purpose of conducting their research resulting in
bringing more of changes in recruitment, selection and training procedure of employees to
commit work in Nestle company.

P1 Aims and objectives of the project
Aim: To outline the strategies by recruitment, selection and training of the employees to improve
their working in achieving the International requirement -A study on Nestle company.
Objectives:
 To identify the latest trends in recruitment, selection and training at global level.
 To examine the benefits and strategies adapted by nestle to enhance their employees
recruitment procedure in companies.

their recruitment, selection and training procedures of employees.

Research question:
1. What are the latest trends in recruitment, selection and training at global level?
2. How to examine the benefits and strategies adapted by nestle to enhance their employees
recruitment procedure in companies?
3. What are the challenges faced by nestle company in providing training and development
to their employees in organisation?
P2 & M1 Project management Plan
Project Management plan is usually implemented by the researcher to examine their
various activities which is majorly important in every planning and also it helps to examined the
risk which is to be associated in planning process (Tidd and Bessant, 2018). There are minute
things to be examined which are to be assemble to execute the project management plan such as:
Scope: Scope is mainly used by company to integrate their complete working structure.
In this case of Nestle company had examined their scope to enhance their working and also had
their clear vision and mission to achieve targets in more effective way. In this research
perspective it clearly indicates the clear vision and mission of the research by examining the
need of the scope of project.
Cost: Another important element in project management plan is cost. Researcher had to
manage their project is such a way that they can initiate the project with the available cost and
also execute all their planning properly (Thamir and Poulis, 2015). In this present report,
researcher will acquire £8000 cost to carry their plan to bring success.
Time: To manage time effectively is the important skill which is used at the time of
assisting such work. Researcher had to plan their time by viewing various activities which is to
be accomplished and also they had to put extra time in respect of getting errors in collecting the
data from restricted places. In this research time is important and approx 6 months is committed
to complete such project if they are conducted without any risk arises.
Risk: Risk in the planning arises at any time and also the researcher is to be mentally
prepared while facing the crises in their project (Hanson and et.al., 2016). The risk may be arises
in case of theft of collected data, lack of money which is to be needed to carry the research work

and also illness which results in delay in research work. In such cases risk arises which affects
the project at large scale.
Communication: Communication plays an important role as research work is only
completed when there is proper communication between the stakeholder regarding the discussion
related to completion of projects (Webb, 2017). There are various faces which is to be solved if it
results in communicating with people and it can either through telephones, mail, fax etc.
Resources and Quality: Resources are to be carried with the researcher at the time of
carrying the research work (Reed and Card, 2016). As it includes the stationary, books and other
documents which is required top carry the research at success stage. Thus, it results in bringing
more effective research work and quality data are to be inserted in that research. Resources are
useful for the company to manage their day to day activities and also to provide quality work it is
effective to be taken care.

LO2
P4 Research Methodology
It includes various plan and procedure which is used by researcher to carry their research
(Muller, 2017). It includes the following method to carry their research activity.
Research
Methods
Types Justification
Research types Quantitative
and Qualitative
There are various types of research method to carry the
research work and activity to achieve success and in such
procedure they use the Qualitative research method to carry
the research. In this method they can raise questionnaire,
conduct survey to gather information from the selected
topic.
Research
Philosophies
Positivism and
Interpretivism
In these types of research it carries various ideas, thoughts
and expression to conclude the facts and figure of the topic
which is selected in the research (Larson and Gray, 2017).
In this researcher applied the interpretivism method to
carry their research work. They can interpret the available
data from such sources to gather information from the
selected topic.
Research Design Descriptive
and
Experimental
This method carries the various designing of the research to
get the accurate results by its presentation. In this method
researcher had applied the Descriptive method to conduct
their research design in effective manner. By choosing the
descriptive method they can gather large number of
information from such sources.
Research
Approach
Inductive and
Deductive
It includes the proper plans and procedure which is used by
the researcher to collect data and information from various
sources (Kerzner and Kerzner, 2017). In this researcher had
applied inductive type of method to conduct the research
approach to gather information from such available

sources. By using the inductive method they can collect
various facts and figure which helps researcher to get more
accurate results.
Data collection Primary and
Secondary data
Data collection is important in research work as data to be
collected help the research to distinguish their research
work from other. In this researcher had applied both the
method to collect data from the available sources (Hillson,
2017). Primary method is used to collect data from original
sources while secondary data is used to gather information
from other authors.
Data Analysis Thematic and
Non Thematic
Method
Data to be analysed after collecting the data from all such
sources. In this method, the researcher had applied the
thematic method to conduct their research work (Wright,
2016). They present such data by implementing themes to
identify various facts and information in that research.
Sampling Random and
systematic
sampling
Sampling method is used where there are large number of
employee working in the organisation (Archibald and
Archibald, 2016). Thus, researcher had applied the random
sampling method to conduct the research as they can gather
information form random people. In this report they gather
information and reviews from 20 managers to carry their
research work to get more accurate results.
Ethical
Consideration
Ethics are the norms and standards which is to be carried
by the researcher at the time of conducting the research
(Alvesson and Sköldberg, 2017). At the time of research,
they didn't disclose bay information without raising the
permission of disclosure from the employee and company
as they carry important details of the company.

M2
In case of using the reliability in the research methods, it similarly applied in case of
examining the results by checking it in numerous times. As if the result are examined in a
hundred times they still giving the same results it means the research is reliable and the methods
which are used given the same results, in case of accuracy it is moreover relevant to reliability
but accuracy in such case of research methods are related to giving accurate results. Thus, the
research method which is based on Questionnaires and the queries and answer is given by
respondent accurate and reliable and also their judgement are to taken in effective manner.

issue. As employees are hired who had no knowledge and experience regarding the company
working and also not capable to learn skill which is needed to assign that task. In such cases
company faces internal crises of hiring the wrong candidates for the assigned work.
P6 Recommendation and Conclusions
Conclusions
From the above study it is to be concluded that globalisation is such a process by which it
helps companies to take effective decision regarding expanding their operational activities into
global market. In such case matter related to recruitment, selection and training procedure of
employees it develops the company stability and reputation if they recruit the right candidates to
complete their work and bring more success to the company. Thus nestle company is the
multinational company and engaged with large number of employees. Thus, their training
procedure is also important which resulting enhancing their business at global market. It is also

concluded from above report that implementing such strategies and techniques in right way
result to bring more success to the companies at international level.
Recommendation
From the above study it is to be recommended that nestle company uses the strategies to
enhance their recruitment and training procedure of employees such as
 During recruiting the employees, the candidates are to be diversified on the basis of their
Knowledge in particular field and also their interest which they can carry forward to gain
more profits to the company. By implementing this process they can retain the employees
interest in the work for longer time period and also they can bring more creative in their
work places and environment where they are engaging their work to be completed.
 The managers of the Nestle company uses various innovative technique to attract their
employees towards their training process. Thus, it resultant in giving liability to the
employees to take own decision and complete the task by helping the team to achieve the
targets with more ratio of success. They also innovate effective culture norms to their
employees and also take care at the time of recruiting the employees to engaged their
business activities.
M3
The appropriate tools and techniques which is used in selection processes to get the
accurate and authentic results is applying various methods which resultant in bringing the more
accurate results and also the data and information are collected is accurate. In such cases there
are various method which is used by researcher to gather information from such sources by
collecting data form primary and secondary method are important and also the data collected are
valid and unique in comparison to other researcher.
LO4
P7 Reflections
It is clearly reflected from the above study that recruitment, selection and training
procedure are important in the Nestle company to recruit right candidates and carry their
authentic work to accomplish more goals. I also examined that training is the best procedure to
judge the capabilities of the employees to complete the task and also they are to be motivated
and trained in right direction. This helps companies to maintain their reputation and brand image

at large scale. I also identify that at the time of business enter into global market it results in
various factors which is to be changed and also company had to undertake such factors and
challenges in right directors to secure the interest of employees in the work places. Nestle
company had enhances their brand name in the market thus they had to recruit such employees
which are of trust worthy and commit hard work in their task. This helps them to retain their
position in emerging market and also attract customers towards their services at international
level.
M4
The value through which the project management process is determined by planning,
organising, controlling the work and examining the task which resultant in completing the work
undertaken. By adapting this process it helps to set certain norms and standards which give more
accurate results and also the project is to be managed in effective manner. If the process is well
designed it gives quality work to the researcher and the research work is unique and different
from other researcher.
CONCLUSION
From the above study it is to be concluded that various business plan are to be
implemented to execute the research for effective results. In case of Nestle company they are
specialised in carrying the food products at international market thus recruiting the candidates
who had knowledge and experiences in such field and bring more creative and innovative ideas
in their work places. This helps companies to recruit the right employees and trained them
according to their skills and experiments.
