Topic: ‘How do multinational companies improve the recruitment, selection and training
of their employees to meet International requirements?’.
INTRODUCTION
People development is considered as the main driving force of globalisation, that includes
principles of managing workplace of a company. At international level, companies are required
to concern more on their HR practices which includes recruitment, selection and other, to
maintain ethics in business (Westerman, Bonnet and McAfee, 2014). The present project is based
on how an organisation make improvement in human resource practices to run business at global
level. Nestle is chosen company for this purpose, which is considered as one of the leading
organisation in beverage and confectionery business. It operates business virtually in almost all
countries where, it emphasises more on religion and ethnic background of workplace. Here, for
employee development as per international standard, a project is made with specific aims and
objectives, including some recommendation for chosen company to meet its objectives.
P1 Aims and objectives
In order to meet global standards, a company that operates business across various
countries need to concern more on development of its workplace. For this purpose, making
changes in recruitment and selection, as well as training procedures lead to enhance productivity,
in terms of increasing competencies of business (Dosi and Galambos, 2013). With respect to
Nestle, it is the largest company in food sector in terms of revenue, that offers a wide range of
quality products in more than 189 countries. It includes baby products, bottled water, coffee, tea,
chocolates, confectionery and diary items etc. Due to increase in competition at global level, it
becomes highly essential for this company concern on people development, in order to get a
competitive advantages over others. For this purpose, its project makers are going to develop a
plan to make improvement in recruitment and selection procedures, so that higher contribution of
workers can be gained in achievement of business objectives (Nambisan, 2017). With this
assistance, the main aim and objectives to meet international standards for Nestle, are given as
below –
Aim:
“To analyse the ways by which Nestle can improve its recruitment, selection and training
practices to meet global standards”.

Research objectives:
 To analyse the process of reviewing people development at organisation.
 To identify need of development of recruitment, selection and training procedures within
Nestle.
 To ascertain the benefit Nestle can gain after improving its HR practices at global level.
Research question:
 What is the process of reviewing people development at organisation?
 Why Nestle need to make changes in its recruitment, selection and training procedures?
 What advantages Nestle can gain if it makes improvement its HR practices as per global
standard?
Literature Review:
This part of project provides the secondary data by collecting different researchers point
of view through external analysis. So, in context with present data to analyse how Nestle can
make changes in HR practices to meet international standard, secondary data is collected in
following way -
Process of Reviewing the people development:
As per views of Legner and et. al. (2017), it has been analysed that for developing skills
and knowledge of people at workplace, it is essential for an organisation to make changes in its
HR practices first. It includes improvement in recruitment and selection process first, so that
highly eligible and talented workforce can be hired. Secondly, provide appropriate training to
both existing and newly hired workers. This would help in making them able to work at
international level and give more contribution in achievement of business objectives.
Requirement of making changes in HR practices:
According to Dosi and Galambos (2013), it has been identified that when a company is
going to expand its business at global level, then they have to concern first on people
development. Because without development of workplace, contribution of workers cannot be
gained to run business well. Therefore, it is essential for Nestle also to make changes in HR
practices, so that higher profitability can be gained.
Advantages of making improvement in HR practices:
As per opinion of Nambisan (2017), it has been analysed that making changes in HR
practices will help a company in earning a number of benefits. In context with Nestle, it includes
2

talented and highly motivated workforce, employee engagement and more, that lead to gain
efforts of each in running business well at global level.
P2 Project management plan with its range of components
An activity or a framework designed by project makers, in order to help the company to
achieve created planned task with proper efficiency (Legner and et. al., 2017). Purpose of a
project plan is to define goals and objectives of a plan, budget required, resources needed,
methods used to implement it, scope and it's expectations, assumptions and constraints and
timeline for its completion. In simple words, a project plan is converting a vision, plan, dream or
a need to reality. Nestle company will get helped by its managers through PMP plan, which is
looking for adopting new recruitment and selection techniques in a defined manner.
Project Title:
“To analyse the ways by which Nestle can improve its recruitment, selection and
training practices to meet global standards”.
Project Plan:
 Cost – Main factor kept in mind, while creating a project plan is the cost component. For
conducting this research investigator would require near about £12k to develop a plan.
For executing this plan, respective company will need to incur a cost of approximately £
250 million.
 Time – This component is an essential part of PMP, which focuses on required time
duration for creating and implementing a task in a desired manner. Thus, for creation a
report and collecting data, researcher will require more than 5 months. For implementing
this targeted task, Nestle will need near about half a year.
 Scope – This part defines viability and rationality of a project management plan, for this
respective company, by which it can achieve a desired productivity in terms of working
culture and environment. This would aid to Nestle to meet foreign standards criteria more
efficiently and effectively. While, as researcher point of view, it will bring advantage to
them in enhancing their skills and gathering more data and information. Thus, developing
new opportunities for them.
 Risk – To minimise factors of risk, project managers of Nestle are required to identify,
evaluate and analyse components, which may create an adverse impact on given project.
Gathering of data and information to cover and eradicate risk factor (Martin and Tian,
