Human resource management is a practice in which the manager is managing
the staff or the employees so as to get better performance (Almarzooqi, Khan
and Khalid., 2019). The human resource management is responsible for the
better performance of the company with the help of various function they are
able to make sure that all the employees in the organisation are working
together for th benefit of the organisation. Some of the major role and
function of HRM are as follows:
1. Recruitment and selection – the most basic function of HRM is to
recruit and select more people to work in the organisation. HRM is
responsible for getting the best candidate for working in the organisation. The
organisation creates post for new and fresh talent and the HRM is responsible
for selecting the new talent. In the recruitment process there are various
people who come up for the vacant position in the company but it is the
responsibility of HRM to select the best person who will be able to fill the
vacant post. (Barba-Aragón, and Jiménez-Jiménez., 2020). In the selection
process the HRM chalks out the candidate who are fit according to the job
requirements.
2. Training and development – In TESCO as there are various
department and they are all fully employed so every time it is not possible for
the HR manager of the company to create vacancy in the market. Through
they will be able to reduce the cost that they will be investing in the new
talent (Guerci and et. al., 2019).
3. Rewards – this function of HRM is to motivate their employees so
that in future the employees will work more efficiently in order to gain the
rewards. These rewards can be in the form of appraisal or in the form of
bonus (Hauff and et.al., 2021). This is the best way through which HRM in
TESCO is able to motive the employees and along with that they also
motivate the other employees that they can also get appraisal if the work more
effectively and efficiently.
4. Human resource planning – with the help of human resource
planning the HRM of TESCO is able to make sure about what all kinds of
TESCO being the largest supermarket chain in United Kingdom is having more
than 6,000 store all over UK so it is very hard for the HRM to manage them all.
The most difficult function of them all is that the TESCO is having the employee
strength of more than 100,000 and there are a lot of area in which the people
employed are more than what is required by the task this is called over
employment. In this the organisation employees more staff than the one which is
needed for that particular task. This type of overemployment will always result
in the wastage of resources (Keegan and et .al., 2018). The main issue which is
faces by human resource management in many areas but major challenges is
faceoff in Training and Development part. This is one of main consideration
from HR manager to provide training unskilled employees. Issue that prevails is
to cope up with leaders as well as employees in terms of understanding and
evaluation time. In assessment time it is very difficult to analyze about
individual employee performance that creates more challenging part. HR
manager need to invest in training and development program with only having
objective to major improvement. Strategies which implement by the leader could
not favors of expectation that arises main problems. Every employees are
having different learning habits, lack of engagement can also decrease efficiency
of employees. Thus, these issues which discussed which is can faces by HR
manager of Tesco.
