Its purpose is to coordinate all the people in an organization to achievebusiness goals(Bratton and Gold, 2017). Human resource management has many functions but outof those functions there are Five main functions of Human Resource Management in anorganization like M & S like:Recruitment and Selection: Recruitment is basically a process in which screening of all thecandidates is done and then qualified and potential candidates are chosen based on jobspecification and its criteria. This process is done to select best and qualified applicants outof all the other applicants. Recruitment and selection is the most important process in anyorganization specially M & S because revenue of the company depends upon sales which isdone by sales offices. Orientation: Orientation is the most basic function of an organization which helpemployees to adjust themselves with their job and with their employer and other employees.It should include all the goals and objectives of an organization and how all these goals andobjectives can be achieved weather they are short tern or long term goals. Maintain good working conditions: It is the primary responsibility of HRM to maintaingood working conditions for the employees so that they like the working environment andworkplace and also get motivated. If all the employees are motivated then they contribute toachieve as many goals they can of the business.Managing employee's relations: Main pillar of an organization is its employees. So its the

main function of HRM to maintain good relation between employees and influence theirbehaviour and work outputs.Training and development: It is necessary function of HRM. It helps to improve currentand future performance of an employee by increasing their skills and knowledge inparticular subject.P2 Strength And Weakness Of Different Approaches To Recruitment And Selection.There are different approaches of recruitment and selection with various strength andweakness are categorized into internal recruitments (Search Consultants, online websites,professional referral schemes, advertisement) and external recruitment (Recruitment agencies,Recruitment events).Online websites and job boards: These are generally helpful for the organisations whichdo not have strong brand name and are unable to attract employees(Bailey and et.al., 2018). Butorganizations with good brand names like M & S also use this approach as it is easy. Strength: It is a cost effective approach. Can handle large volume of applications. Weakness: It is not useful where candidates are not computer literate. A badly designed website canlead to damage your brand.Recruitment agencies: Agencies that provide placements weather they are permanent ortemporary. This method is used by M & S. Strength: No hire, no risk, no fee. Vacancy does not become public knowledge. Weakness: Candidate's may prefer dealing with the employers directly. It can be a costly processsometimes.Search consultants: They are employed when the job position is not to be made public,specially when it is a very senior post. Strength: Identifies people who are capable of doing that particular job. Weakness: Limited candidates specially for senior post also a bit costly.Advertisement in news papers: Advertising in local/ national news papers is one of theoldest approach or recruitments(Armstrong and Taylor, 2014). Candidates with required skillsalways look for available job positions in newspapers. Strength: Fixed cost, although they need to be repeated. Recruitment messages are easilycommunicated.
