TOPIC:-
“To analyse the recruitment, selection and training methods of multinational companies in
order to meet international requirements.” A case study on Nestle.
INTRODUCTION
Globalisation is a process where an organisation explores its business on international
level. It is helpful for business organisations as it open up numerous of opportunities for them at
marketplace. Globalisation can increases demand of products at marketplace which leads to
increase in their profits. The present report is based on Nestle Swiss, a large company which was
founded in 1905 and it’s headquarter is located in Switzerland. Nestle is dealing in chocolates,
baby products and medical products (Boyle, 2017). The project formulates aims and objective
related to the given scenario. Further, describes about project management plan, work
breakdown structure and Gantt chart. At next, it covers information on different sections of
research methodology. At last, it provides recommendation to the company and reflection on
overall journey of investigation.
TASK 1
P1 Project aims and objectives
The globalisation is interaction among people across national borders. The
globalisation is a way in which countries and peoples interact for the formal goals. It also
helps in enhancing business operations of the company in effective manner (Clinton and
Whisnant, 2019). There are many ways through which business can be expanded through
globalisation by adopting new practises like free trade among borders, import export
relaxation, financial mobilisation of funds and resources, etc. The concept has helped
business organisations in approaching other nations in order to expand their business and
attain developed aims and objectives. In context to Nestle, the company belongs to food
processing industry. Product range of Nestle includes baby food, breakfast cereals,
confectioner, pet foods, medical food, coffee and tea, snacks etc. The company comes under
biggest food company across the world. With reference to Nestle, the company is
introducing its new human resource policy which deals in remuneration, recruitment and
training and development. The HR manager of NESTLE believes that by providing regular
based training to employees, the company will get opportunity to improve its existing

performance at market place in effective manner. Top management team of Nestle feels that
they are required to work on recruitment, training and selection methods of its existing
employees for meeting international needs. With reference to the overall scenario, hired
investigator has formulated aims and objectives in detailed manner for attaining desired
outcome for the research. Objectives and aims of the research are mentioned below:-

LITERATURE REVIEW
Concept of globalisation, recruitment, training and selection
According to the viewpoint of Philemon Kazimil Mzee (2012), globalisation is defined as
the process of integration and interaction among companies, governments and people worldwide.
Globalisation affects the economy of a country and profit of business in positive way. In context
of recruitment and selection process of a company, it is important for every company to hire
great talents who can achieve the goals and targets of the company in specified time. Global
business is defined by free flow of human and financial exchange that takes place between
different countries. The recruitment and selection processes of every company must be so

effective that company can easily select the best talent that will help in achieving the targets of
company in specified time. The selection process of a company is termed as the way of choosing
the right candidate who can work for attainment of goals and objectives of company. Training is
the process which aims to improve skills and capabilities of employees which helps in personal
and professional growth of an individual.
Different recruitment, selection and training methods used by Nestle for meeting international
requirements
According to the viewpoint of Polonsky and Waller, (2018), the performance of an
organisation is depending over its employees and the quality of work they perform toward the
accomplishment of organisational goals and objective. This is because it is very essential for a
company to recruit high skilled employees which support a company to achieve its objective and
be able to deal with competition present at marketplace. Nestle operates its business across the
world and for this it put more emphases toward selecting right candidate for particular job role,
For this Nestle uses different methods to fills it's vacancies that are online portals and on campus
recruitment drives. Nestle posts job vacancies on LinkedIn, career section of their website, etc.
The interested candidates can apply for job through these portals (Nestlé’s recruitment process,
2019). The selection process of Nestle consists of application screening, phone interview, on
campus drives etc.
Various issues which are faced by Nestle in providing training to employees for meeting
international requirement
As per the view point of Vishal Amberkar, 2018, there are various issues that the
organisations face including global workforce with cultural distinctions, getting feedback and
course conclusion, standardising the training etc. Training up-gradation is the big challenge that
is faced by organisation. To provide workforce with up to date knowledge at the time when
changes takes place in policies, legislations and working processes is an issue. It is necessary for
organisation like Nestle to keep update with the changes that takes place in policies and
processes as this will help in meeting international requirements. Cultural differences are also
one of the big issues that organisations face. For overcoming this issue and meeting international
requirements, it is very essential for organisation to think about cultural and language issues so
that they can identify differences and provide appropriate training to workforce.

P2 Produce a project management plan
Project management plan is a confidential document and it is a blueprint of the
project which will undertake during the year. It includes planning and strategies for the
execution of the project (Crane and Matten, 2016). This documents helps researcher in
informing its team mates about the research and its key areas for executing work in appropriate
way. There are certain elements which inc lude size, scope, quality, cost risk etc. In context to
present investigation, researcher has formulated an effective project management plan for
more efficiency in its execution. The key elements of the project management plan are
disused below:-
 Cost: It is the value of money which is needed to produce something or deliver a
product (Deresky, 2017). Every research requires certain amount of money that
helps in conducting an investigation. For present research, it has been evaluated that
researcher will required an appropriate amount of money to conduct an effective
research. It has been analysed that estimated cost for current investigation is £150.
The budget for current investigation is defined as below:
Activities Amount (£)
Travel 30
Research Equipment 50
Research material 70
Total 150
 Scope: With reference to current investigation, the scope for this research is vast as
it will provide new direction to the industry.
 Time: Time refers to the specific duration of event which is consumed in its completion.
For every project, there the beginning and the ending time for completing the task.
Time for every project varies on the basis of different situations (D utta and Bose,
2015). With reference to current research, investigator will require around three
months to complete it in effective manner.
 Quality: The quality means the way the brand of the product or service is
differentiated from others brand in shape, size, design package etc. With reference to

present research, investigator will maintain quality of research by collecting
information from authenticate sites.
 Communication: Communication is seen as the process or a way for transferring
data and information from one person to another. In relation to current investigation,
researcher will communicate about the research strategies or other related work
with the help of mobile phone and emails (Crane and Matten, 2016).
 Risk: It is another factor that face is being faced by every researcher at the time of
conducting an effective research. The potential risk for current investigation is loss
of confidentiality as research includes numerous of people who works on the
personal data of participants. This develops risk for research in terms of
confidentiality.
 Resources: Resources means land, labour, capital which is used for execution of
activity which is being performed in any research (Deresky, 2017). For current
research, investigator will require human resource, adequate amount of money,
technological tool etc.
P3 Gantt chart and work break down structure.
GANTT CHART
Gantt chart is introduced by Henry Gantt in the year 1910, which shows the balance
between the time and the activities performed in the project. Gantt chart shows the time of
the activities on the x axis and activities performed on the y axis of the chart (Hillary, 2016).
This is an important tool which is used in research to show the multiple activities in
graphical representation. With reference to current research, investigator has used Gantt
Chart as it clearly depicts starting and finishing date of each and every activity. With this,
researcher can easily perform their working activities according to the predetermined time
limit (Kendrick, 2015). As a result, the project will not get delayed.

WORK BREAT DOWN STRUCTURE (WBS)
Work break down structure is a tool which is adopted by project leader, which
divides the complex project in the various activities. It plays an essential role in research as
it increases efficiency of research team. In context of present investigation, WBS structure
will be used by investigator for dividing work activities in certain parts (Dutta and Bose,
2015). It can be said that WBS divides the work in the research team so that performance of
each researcher can be checked and analysing for assessing their contribution in the
research. It can be further said that usage of WBS improves results accuracy.

TASK 2
P4 Quantitative and qualitative and research methods
Primary data
Primary data means original data that has been collected for the first time for research.
The sources of collecting primary data are personal interview, focused groups, questionnaires,
experience, survey, observation, experiments, schedule method, data from local agents and many
more ( Huntington, 2018). With reference to research, usage of primary method provides high
accuracy and reliability towards research outcome as it contains lot of time. The method is seen
as expensive process and also requires skilled individuals to collect required information in
effective manner.
Secondary data
Secondary data in data collection method of research is based on the data which is
previously collected by someone else. Secondary data are available in books, newspapers,
journals, Magazines, case studies, web-sites, weblogs and many more (Hillary, 2017). It is very
convenient and easy to collect the data as it saves time and money. In context of current research,

the investigator will use online articles, books and journals in order to attain required information
on the research topic.
In the current study, investigator has used both the primary and secondary method of data
collection in order to collect required information within given time. In this method, investigator
has used questionnaire whereas in secondary method book, Journals and online articles are
chosen by investigator.
Qualitative research
In research, qualitative data is important in determining the traits and characteristics and
represented by name, symbol or a number code. In this, the gathered data is analysed by
description of information and experience. It also helps the researcher in gathering in depth
knowledge about the research topic as it consume time (Huntington, 2018) This type of data is
collected through the method of observation, personal interview, focused groups, experience,
survey, observation, experiments, schedule method etc. With reference to current study, it has
been analysed that investigator has Qualitative research method is being used by researcher for
the purpose of conducting an effective research whose results are based on human perception.
Quantitative research
In research, Quantitative data are measure of counts and expressed in numbers. In
quantitative approach, the collected data is analysed through numerical methods and statistical
formulae. This data are usually gathered using instruments, such as a questionnaire which
consists rating scales or statical form ( Julien, 2018). Some example of quantitative data is
height, shoe size, length, breath and many more. Its data is specific and reliable and easy to
communicate and use the charts and graphs for elaboration. It requires the specialist of statically
to analysis this as it is more complex.
In the current investigation, researcher has used qualitative research approach in order to
attain true and valuable outcome.
Sampling
Sampling refers to selection of few candidates from the overall population from whom
investigator will attain information effectively for attaining research outcome. In the current
research, investigator has used random sampling method for selecting candidate (Julien, 2018).
This is because, random sampling method provides equivalent opportunity to whole population

to get selected as a sample. In current investigation for Nestle, 20 respondents have been chosen
as Sample size.

TASK 4
P7 Reflection
From overall journey of investigation, I have observed that globalisation is vast
concept which provides numerous of benefits to the business organisation who works in
international market. This research has made me learnt many skills which have not only
groomed me in effective manner but it has also helped me out in executing research

activities in effectively without facing much trouble. From this investigation, I have
developed my communication skills, team working skills and analytical skills. All of this
will collaboratively help me out in conducting more effective research in future. Apart from
the learning activities, I have also faced numerous of issues. The main issue which has been
faced by me includes corporation of respondents while collecting the information from them
about the research. Another challenge of conducting this research for Nestle is related to
working in the team. For overcoming these issues I have communicated to respondents for
convincing them that this research is important. This has influenced them to give accurate
information on research topic in order to attain true outcome of research.
CONCLUSION
From the above mentioned report, it has been analysed that globalisation which not
only influences business activities but has also developed numerous of options for
individuals to approach different countries outside their nation. It has been identified that
every organisation has to improvise its recruitment policy in order to hire loyal employees to
customers. Project management plan has helped researcher in accomplishing their research
activities effectively. In this research, investigator has used both the primary and secondary
method of data collection in order to attain true research outcome along with authenticity.
