Title: In what ways multinational organisation improve the selection, recruitment and training of
their employees to meet international requirements?
INTRODUCTION
Globalisation is the process of spread of products, technology, information and job across
over the boundaries of a nation (Globalisation. 2019). In economic terms, globalisation relates to
the interdependence of different nations around the globe to make the easy movement of
products and services. Project Management is the process by which tasks such as planning,
organising, controlling and making the completion of the project successful. Project
Management ensures the completion of project in an efficient and in a timely manner. The
assignment will further focus on various aspects which makes possible the successful
accomplishment of this project such as cost, scope, time, quality, etc. The following assignment
is based on Nestle Company which was established in the year 1866 and is headquartered in
Switzerland (Alotaibi, 2016). Nestle is providing many varieties of food products to their
customers such as baby food products, cereals, ice cream, etc. The assignment will focus on the
aims and objectives of the project topic. In addition to this, the assignment will also be make use
of Gantt Chart and Work Break Down Structure for simplifying different tasks needed to
accomplish the project. Furthermore, on the basis of the analysis on the project the assignment
will also draw some recommendations and conclusion on it.
MAIN BODY
P1) Project Aims and Objectives
Background of Research
Organisations work with a motive of earning profit so as to ensure the survival and
growth of their business. This could become only possible if the products or services provided by
the company to their customers are capable enough to meet their requirements and able to
capture the market share. The skills and abilities of employees are important and helps in the
achievement of goals and objectives of the company. So as to fulfil international requirements it
is necessary for the companies to make improvement in their recruitment, training processes and
selection processes. This could will help in getting skilled, talented employees to the company
which will increase the performance of Nestle by their skills and qualities and help in meeting
the international requirements. As Nestle is dealing in food products which are purchased taking

so much care in today's world so it is necessary for the company to hire skilled and talented
employees and provide them training about how to work so that they can deliver best services to
the company by making use of the efficiency to the fullest (Camacho Delgado, 2015).

Purpose of Research
The main reason for conducting this assignment is to focus on the structure by which
improvement can be made in the selection, recruitment and training methods of Nestle. The
following research will help the researcher by enhancing knowledge about the topic and
contribute towards his own growth and achievement in life.
Aim
“To explore different ways through which multinational companies can improve the
recruitment, selection and training of their employees to meet International requirements. A Case
Study on Nestle.”
Objectives
 To identify the concept of recruitment, selection and training.
 To explore different ways through which Nestle can improve training, selection and
recruitment of new employees.
 To analysis importance of recruitment, training and selection for both employees and
organisation at international level.
P2) Project Management Plan
Project Management Plan is an approved document that provides guidance regarding the
successful accomplishment of the project. This successful accomplishment is based on various
aspects of project management plan which are discussed below. These aspects must be properly
analysed and considered by Nestle for making the project successful. The explanation of these
aspects are as follow as:
Cost:
Cost can be defined a certain amount or monetary value which has been spent by the a
company for the purpose of some production or creation. So for making recruitment, selection
and production process complete it will require to invest some amount in it. Nestle is doing the
recruitment, selection and training process as international levels so the company needs an
amount of 40000 pounds to complete the whole process (Cirule and et. al., 2017). The estimated
cost by the researcher to complete this research is 11000 pounds. For the recruitment process the
company will make use of advertisement to be given on official website of company and via
television. For selection, psychometric tests will be conducted and the employees will be
provided with on the job training.
3

Scope:
By making use of official website and television advertising the company will be able to
attract a large number of candidates for the vacant posts in their organisation. Official website
advertising will also prevent the candidates from getting any misleading information about the
recruitment. From Psychometric tests in selection process, Nestle should ask only those
questions from the candidates which seems to be important and related to the job they are
applying. On the job training will help in removing the problems faced by employees instantly
during the course of their work. The scope for the researcher is all about improvement and
changing the perception and coming into reality so that the researcher can have the right
knowledge about these processes.
Time:
The project cannot be completed in a short period of time and the activities in this project
are also more. So Nestle must also specify the time needed to make the completion of this project
successful. Nestle will complete the recruitment process in 3 weeks, the selection process in 2
weeks and will provide training to their employees for 5 weeks. Foe the researcher, the time
required in order to complete this research is 4 weeks (Desai and et. al., 2014).
Quality:
Another important aspect of project management plan which plays crucial role in the
making the project successful. During the time of executing the research program, quality aspect
is covered by making use of tools and techniques which are performed during the course of
project. The application of qualitative research methods will be helpful the company to carry out
the research in an effective manner. As official website advertising and television advertising
will prevent the customers from being mislead and on the job training will also improve the
quality of project. For the researcher quality aspect is all about providing the right information
about the project. The project must be accurate and reliable which can only be possible if the
information provided in it is correct and relevant.
Communication:
It is the process of transfer of feelings, facts from an individual to another which makes
the listener to understand the same which speaker wants to convey with him. So communication
in Nestle is essential as the important information can only be transferred by this process and will
help in the successful execution of this project. Communication among the team members will
4

be done by conducting meetings, e mails, informal communication, chats, telephone, video
conferencing, etc. For the researcher the communication will be done by personal meeting with
friends and teachers, phone calls, SMS, social media apps, etc. in order to communicate
effectively with each other.
Risk:
Both the researcher and the company could be encountered with various issues in
conducting the research which can shortage of funds in the company, lack of knowledge about
performing the tasks for conducting recruitment process. In psychometric tests, there are chances
that candidates can provide wrong information about their skills and abilities to get the job,
which can impact upon the whole process of selection. Further it is also not sure the newly hired
candidates will be able to adjust them according to the environment of the company and if not
than there are chances that they will leave the company and it can incur heavy losses to Nestle.
For the researcher, there are chances of stole and corruption of data which can damage the whole
project.
Resources:
These can be defined as the required materials which will make the completion of project
successful. For the successful completion of this project the needed resources are internet
connection, computer system, training equipments, papers and online test procedures including
the experienced workforce in the HR Department (Elena, 2016). For the researcher, the needed
resources are internet, money, magazines, computer system, etc. are needed in order to collect
data and complete the research in a successful manner.
P3) Work Break Down Structure and Gantt Chart
Work Break Down Structure: The following structure helps in dividing the complete
task into smaller parts so that the accomplishment of the complete work can be made easier. It
will help Nestle by guiding the managers of the company to provide the divided tasks of the
project to the employees and also help them in understanding their duties regarding the work
they are provided with.
Gantt Chart: The following chart represents the project in a well formed way. The following
chart helps in dividing the project actions in graph along with the time needed in order to
complete different tasks of the project. In addition to this, Gantt Chart also represents the starting
5

and finishing of the project including milestones, tasks, resources. So application of Gantt Chart
by Nestle will help it in properly monitoring and controlling all the activities of the project.
P4) Small Scale Research with the Help of Qualitative and Quantitative Research Methods
Qualitative Research Methods:
This research method can be defined as the method which makes use of theoretical
frameworks for the completion of any assignment, project or research. The following research
method provides an in depth analysis of the research topic and hence it is beneficial to use.
Quantitative Research Method:
The following method is mainly focused on the numerical and statistical form of data in
completing the research project. The reason behind this is to reach to a final and valid conclusion
at the completion of the research.
Primary Data: It can be defined as the first hand collection of data which do not have any
presence yet is treated as Primary source of data (Gebhart, Mevius and Wiedmann, 2014).
Secondary Data: This type of data can be defined as the second hand collection of data from the
sources such as books, journals, articles, newspapers, internet, etc. are a great source of getting
secondary source of data.
In conducting this research, the use of Qualitative and Quantitative Research Methods is
done in order to present good results in future. In addition to this, the use of primary source of
data is also done for completing this research in the form of questionnaire.

P6) Communicating with Appropriate Recommendations
According to the above analysis, it is recommended to the company that it is important
for the company to formulate effective plans and policies in order to complete the selection,
training and recruitment process of the company to be successful (Hassan, Channa and Lashari,
2017). These processes must also be done in a bias free manner. Further it is also recommended
to the company that it should invest m ore in the R&D Activities of the company so that it can
eliminate the barriers effecting the smooth running of the business.
P7) Reflection
In order to complete this project I had chosen 50 respondents on the basis of random
sampling. This method was used to make the research bias free. With their help I was able to
make valid conclusion about the research topic. This project has also improved my learning
skills and knowledge about this topic which directly contributed towards the personal and
professional development of an individual. While conducting this research I also encountered
with some issues which were about how to collect data form sources which were later removed
by taking help from family, friends and teachers and helped me in conducting the research in an
efficient and effective manner. Further I also encountered with some other issues related to
insufficient funds and completing the work in time for which I also took help from my family
and teachers. From their help only this project has been completed successfully in time.
CONCLUSION
From the above assignment it is concluded that it is not easy to complete a project easily
but there are a number of aspects on which it is necessary to look upon such as the cost, time
scope, quality, etc. which plays a major role in making the project successful. Improper
management of these aspects can give wrong results. Further it is also concluded that Gantt Chart
and WBS help to divide the complete tasks of the project to be in time.
