TASK-1
PEOPLE RESOURCING AND DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES AT NETFLIX-
Netflix is one of the biggest internet subscription service giant which is getting operated
across the world. Due to wast operations there is a huge number of workforce is working in the
organization. Netflix generally hires people with some experience, it avoids hiring new talent
due to immense need of training and development. So the organization is worldwide following
policy of hire the experience.
Hire and fire strategy- The organization is well-known for its aggressive hiring policy in which
it hires people and when it does not have much work or the people are not as efficient as required
for the job then fire them.
Retaining high performers' strategy- In the organization people with higher performance are
given priority, if they got developed and are performing on their merit then would be retained
otherwise will be fired. It makes their workforce up to date and high in term of efficiency.
Do not Hire Fresh college- In this practice it aims only experienced people who possess
experience of working. “Theory of Experiential Learning” (Kirby, 2020.) says person learn from
experience so such people should be recruited.

Work on site policy- While recruitment it is ensured that the joiners must ready to work on site
rather than the place of their preference. It believes that employee can not learn everything by
training some things he learns by the surrounding so “Theory of Social Learning” (Kapur, 2021)
is taken into consideration while recruitment.
Work from remote location- Such people are prohibited in the company who wants to work
from remote location are not hired since which people resourcing company hires only such
people who can work from the authorized locations of the company.
For development purpose the organization is having a few theories which are as-
Transparent pay policy- Every employ can easily see the salary of other employees. Company
believes that keeping such data confidential is not good since if other employees will see
someone making good bucks they will get driven to replicate the same.
Weekly employee surveys- Continue HR survey helps to identify the people with poor
performance so as per the requirement company may go for development or training programme.
So can enhance their performance.
Work benefit policies- The organization is providing them good range of such holiday and also
having “Paid time off policy” so can provide better to them.
Formal time off policy- So people may work as per their ease no need to abide formalized time.
Performance improvement plans- So can hike the level of employees which will ultimately
result their development.
So all such strategies are being followed by Netflix to hire and develop their employees.
