TITLE:
“How do multinational companies improve the recruitment, selection and training of their
employees to meet International requirements”. A study on Nestle.
INTRODUCTION
Recruitment is defined as the procedure of employing potential resources to fill up the
empty job positions in an organisation. Selection is a method through which a suitable candidate
is hired that can helps an organisation in achieving its aims and objectives by efficient means.
Training of employees involves different processes that ensures that a job holder posses right
kind of attitude, knowledge, skills and capabilities (Armstrong, Landers and Collmus, 2016).
This will benefits an organisation in achieving targets in a proper manner. This assignment is
based on Nestle that is a Swiss based multi-national drink and food company which is
headquartered in Vaud, Switzerland. This assignment will cover about project objectives and
aims along with different aspects of project and its management plan. Beside this, Gantt chart
and Work break down structure is mentioned and a small scale research is carried out by using
different research methods. At last, relevant recommendations are given to draw meaningful
conclusion.
TASK 1
P1) Draw project objectives and aim in context with Nestle
Background of the report
The main reason behind working on this report is to acknowledge the effectiveness of
training, selection and recruitment of workers so that domestic and international needs can be
satisfied properly. Nestle is a multinational firm which operates in global context, it is important
for the firm to improvise their recruitment, training and selection processes to achieve high
growth. These improvements will benefits the company in gaining competitive advantage over
competitors by earning high revenues.
Aim:
“To evaluate how large scale multi-national firms improves their recruitment, training
and selecting of workforce to accomplish global desires” A case study on Nestle.
Objectives:

 To acknowledge the concepts related with selection, recruitment and training.
 To examine how training, selection and recruitment in business firms benefits in meeting
international requirement.
 To analyse various methods of training used by a company to encourage their workforce
Questions:
 What is the meaning of selection, recruitment and training.
 How training, selection and recruitment of firms benefits in achieving international
requirement.
 What are the various ways of training used by a firm to motivate their workforce
Limitation of the research
This study requires large sum of capital and time to accomplish improvements in
recruitment, training and selection.
Project Scope
With the help of appropriate training, recruitment and selection, it is possible for a
business firm to sustain a strong position in international market.
Part 2 – Selection process
Internal selection
Large organisations such as Nestle prefers to hire capable and talented employees for
vacant position inside their workplace. As employees are already working for company, it is
easier for them to understand rules and procedures of firm. This will benefits Nestle in enhancing
their productivity and profitability. There are some methods by which Nestle can select desired
candidate within an organisation.
Skill test: With the help of skill text, Nestle can identify the abilities and talent of
individuals for a particular position or vacancy. In this test, applicants are asked some questions
and best nominee is selected in accordance with the response they give (Boyle, 2017).
Test interview: Manager in Nestle can conduct various interview rounds such as
individual review, panel interview etc. to identify the interest of workers about the vacant
position. This will help the company to select desired candidate out of already existing
employees for the unfilled position.
Cost of selection process

Before performing selection procedure, Nestle is needed to estimate expenses and cost
which will be incurred during the procedure. Due to this, shortage of funds will not be faced by
company and concerned activity will be performed in an appropriate manner. Lack of sufficient
capital can hinders the high productivity of company. Below is mentioned estimated cost for
selection process:
Total Forecasted Budget
Particulars 2016-2017 ($)
R& D 50000
Expenses related with publicity 90000
Machinery and Plant installation expenses 14000
Cost for training 11000
Booklet 15000
Total Cost 180000
Part B
Training of employees: Nestle offer efficient training to their staff members so that they
can perform appreciably in difficult and changing situations. Training will benefits Nestle in
increasing working potential and skills of worker so that company can earn high profits.
Different type of training is mentioned below:
 Induction training: While introducing new workers about the job, organisational rules
and culture, it is essential for a firm to conduct induction program. This program will
allow new employee in getting familiar with company so that they can work in a
comfortable manner. This will enhance productivity of company (Brewster and
Hegewisch, 2017).

 Orientation training: In this program, a business firm tells new employees about the
basic information and vision of company. This helps the employees in working to achieve
a specific vision so that international demands of company can be fulfilled desirably.
 On the job training: Nestle offers on job training to their workforce so that while
performing work, productivity of employees can improve. This will allow the company to
enhance their profit ratio along with achievement of organisational goals in a timely
manner.
 Off the job training: This kind of training is given to employees outside the workplace.
Off job training is less expensive and helps in saving costs. This is an effective method
that can be used by Nestle to train their employees. For ex, manager of company can take
new workforce for industrial visits or seminars of other companies. This will helps in
enhancing skills and ability of employees to perform work so that company can attain
their desired objectives (Crane and Matten, 2016).

LITERATURE REVIEW
Recruitment
According to chand, S., 2019, Recruitment is described as a positive procedure of finding
deserving and prospective employees which are capable to perform well in difficult situations. It
is a linkage activity which brings together job seekers with job. This process will benefits
business firms like Nestle in increasing their productivity and reputation. It involves the
screening, identifying and short-listing potential man power to fill vacant position in business
firm.
Selection
Selection is the procedure of choosing right person so that organisational work and
activities can be performed within greater efficiency. As per the opinion of Ingram, D., 2019,
selection is a part of recruitment process through which a desired candidate is selected out of a
list of candidates. With the help of selection, Nestle can select deserving employees due to which
their overall productivity and profit margins will enhance.
Training
According to the opinion of Halloran, J., 2019, training is defined as the process of
transferring and receiving required information so that employees can work in a proper manner.
This will benefits the company in accomplishing their tasks and activities in an efficient way due
to which high profits and market shares can be earned. By training their employees, nestle can
bring their staff members in a position where they will perform their job in a conscientiously
manner.
P2) Project management plan along with its various aspects

Cost Cost is the expenses that coming out when researcher conducting
particular research. There are many expenses occurred by nestle
when follow a procedure of recruitment and selection because high
quality equipment and procedure are used to provide training to the
employees. Researcher has estimated almost £100 while working
on project. The cost of research is very high due to use of many
techniques and methods of data collection like interview,
survey,etc. that will help in recruitment and selection of right
candidates (Dittmar, 2015).
Scope Skilled and knowledgeable manpower play a very crucial role in
acknowledging organisational growth and scope. It is necessary to
hire right person at right place otherwise individual never perform
his duties effectively. The scope of research is limited up to Nestle
because company do not have sufficient time and resources to work
on this project in a detailed manner.
Time Time is very important part of any research. In recruitment and
selection company focuses on right person at right place at right
time. It is estimated that this project will take time of 7 weeks
(Glukhov, Ilin and Levina, 2015). If research is not conducted on
proper time then it leads to wastage of human, finance and other
resources of the company.

Quality Hire skilled manpower helps to increase organisational
effectiveness. Researcher need to use qualitative techniques such as
Questionnaire while conducting research. It will results in
collection of primary data to acknowledge the opinion of
customers. Quality of project will be judged according to the
number of filled questionnaires.
Communication Communication is a medium by which workforce that working in
organisation interacting with each other. While working on project
there are many communication channels that can be used such as
mails, survey, face to face interview with tutor and colleagues etc.
In order to interact with employees of Nestle, E-mails can be used.
Resources Resources play very important role to run a project or activity.
Researcher can uses many resources such as computer, book,
stationary or help from tutor while conducting research
(Huntington, 2018).
P3) Discuss briefly about Work Break Down Structure and Gantt chart
Work breakdown structure: It is defined as a project deliverable which breaks down an
entire project into small and manageable parts. It is a hierarchical decomposition of activities and
work related with the project. WBS will allow the company to identify potential risks and
specific activities associated with a project.

Gantt chart: It is referred to a horizontal bar chart which is developed in 1917 by Henry
Gantt. It is mainly used in project management so that tasks of a project can be planned, tracked
and coordinated in a proper manner. In Gantt chart, vertical axis includes the list of tasks
whereas the horizontal axis include time intervals to perform these tasks (Letsoalo and Mollel,
2016).

TASK 2
P4) Investigate the research by taking help of quantitative and qualitative approaches and
methods
RESEARCH METHEDOLOGY
Research Methodology- It is generally concerned with the plans and strategies made for
effectively conducting the activities of research. This process is used to gather and collect
relevant information related to the topic of research. It guides investigator in understanding the
research problem and also helps in finding appropriate answers for the research question.
Research opinion also functions as the blue print because various methods are identified for
conducting the research in efficient manner. It also helps the investigator in understanding each
and every aspect of research topic in the systematic manner.
Research onion- It is a systematic method used by the researcher for conducting research
in the systematic and coordinated manner. Research onion consist of various parts which are
discussed below-
Research process- It basically comprises of various actions and series which are used
for conducting the research in the effective and efficient manner. With the help of research
process each and every activity can be completed within specific period of time. The research
process involves various stages which are carried out in a systematic manner. These stages
involve- defining the research problem , review of literature, formulation of hypothesis, research

design, collection and analysis of data. By implementing these stages researcher will be able to
identify solutions to the research problem (Nicholas and Steyn, 2017).
Research philosophy- These are basically of two types interpretivism and positivism.
Interpretivism is generally used to analyse and evaluate the data with proper assistance. While
positivism is generally used when investigator tries to gather data by searching relevant sources.
Data is this is collected through experiments, observations so that logical decisions can be taken.
Research approach- The research approaches are of three kinds such as Deductive,
inductive and Abductive. Deductive approach is related with assumption of data validity while
on the other hand Inductive research is related with implementing and inventing new ideas for
completing the research work in proper order and sequence. In inductive research new facts are
analysed so that better conclusions can be drawn out from the research problem.
Research Choice- This type of research generally consist of two factors which are
qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative research is carried out by gathering data from group
discussion, interview, survey, etc. While in quantitative research is done by collecting and
gathering information from facts and figures. With the help of this method relevant information
can be collected within limited period of time. Both these methods helps in making necessary
adjustments for the completion of research in the systematic and coordinated manner.
Time horizon – It is necessary for investigator to plan activities of research in a proper
manner. As by doing this research can be completed within limited period of time. Time horizon
is basically used to plan and determine start and end time of the research. This can be done with
the help of Gantt chart.
Research design- It is generally used to plans various activities of research in a
systematic manner so that logical decisions can be taken for the completion of research.
Problems raised during the research can be solved easily with the help research design in the
systematic manner. With the help of this researcher can easily analyse various aspects of
research for taking appropriate decisions. Research design consist of three steps which include-
data collection its analysis and interpretation. By using descriptive research in depth analysis of
the research topic can be done for better conclusions (Polonsky and Waller, 2018).
Sources of data collection- Data for research can be collected through primary or
secondary source. In primary source researcher manages to collect data for the first time through

questionnaire or personal interview. While in secondary data collection method relevant
information is gathered from different sources which includes- journals, magazines, etc. In this
research data will be collected from both the sources.
Research sampling- Sampling collection technique is of two types such as probability
and non probability sampling. In probability sampling every sample has equal chance of being
selected for the research process. While in non probability sampling sample is collected on the
basis of capability of researcher. In this research probability sampling technique will be used.
Data presentation and collection techniques- data in this research will be presented
through charts, tables, graphs for interpreting the data in the appropriate manner. While data in
this research will be collected through questionnaire, observation and interview.
Research ethics- The data collected for this research will be confidential and it will not
involve any unethical activities (Rowe, 2015).
Research limitation- There are various problems and issues faced by the researcher in
completing the activities in systematic manner. Some of the problems include- limited sample
size, scope of discussion, etc.
In this particular research, a Questionnaire is prepared in which different questions will
be asked from 15 respondents. These people are selected on random basis and their opinion will
be considered as the response of entire population. These respondents are employees and
customers of Nestle.

TASK 4
P7 Reflect on the value of undertaking the research to meet stated objectives
After conducting the research I came to know my strength and weakness in the proper
manner. My strengths have helped me in completing the work of research and making best use of
available opportunities. Since the time period for this research was limited to I was not able to
collect information in the proper manner. I also realised that I need to improve and enhance my
certain skills which are analytical and communication, so that future goals and objectives can be
attained. So these skills can be improved by me by using following methods-

Competency Ways to improve Need of improvement
Analytical skills This type of skills can be
improved and enhanced by
taking challenges and also by
solving complicated and
complex task.
This will help and guide me in
conducting research in the
systematic manner. Better
conclusions will be also be
drawn out.
Communication Skill This type of skill will be
improved by communicating
with more and more
individuals and also by
analysing their behaviour.
With the help of this I will be
able to collect data from
respondents in the efficient
manner. After this data will be
more accurate and precise.

CONCLUSION
From above mentioned report, it has been concluded that with the help of appropriate
objectives and aims, a project can be managed in a proper manner. Project management plan
include different aspects which enhances the effectiveness of undertaken project. WBS and
Gantt chart benefits in accomplishing project in a timely and proper manner. With the help
of questionnaire, opinions of respondents can be collected in effective manner.
