and development methods applied by Tesco to its workforce will be determine so that the
organisation expands and grow in the positive directions and build trust with new and existing
customers. The different methods to accomplish an effective employee relations in the
organisation will results in harmonious and peaceful environment in ITV organisation will also
cover in the report.
Part 1: Recruitment and Selection:
Task 1- Knowledge (LO 1)
a) Purpose of workforce planning and the role of HR manager on this issue and resourcing for
Woodhill college
Workforce planning defines the terms that helps business or organization to get right
people on right time with the exact skills that need for the task on right place. In here the right
people refers to the employees that should be recruit in a right number to run the business or
organization and the cost of these employees should to adequate with the business financial
condition. So they should be employed under the right and flexible contact that the company can
afford. This workforce planning helps business to identify the present needs of staffs and also
shows the future needs of workforce to run the business successfully. So it shows the gap within
the present and future workforce position of the business or the organization that will relates to
achieve its goals and objectives. Human resource management has more responsibility to
identify and judge the right amount of workforce that need at present time as well as have to
understand its future workforce needs for the business. So, HR manager has more responsibility
to do this task by analyzing and understanding the workforce need and make a plan to achieve
the business goals and objectives (Rouse, 2016)
Woodhill college is one of the reputed college in UK and it has branches in UK. Also, they are
become one of the demanding college in UK because of their reputation and success rate. So,
more students are taking admission and to fulfil the requirements this college need to increase
the number of staffs, teachers to achieve the goals of their organization(Laursen, K. and Foss
2003). To do this, HR manager plays a vital role because he should understand and identify the
right number and skill of workers need to work for them and the employees that they might need
in the future.

Steps to make planning:
There are some steps that need to follow to do the workforce planning by HR manager of
Woodhill college. The steps are-
First HR manager of Woodhill college need to analyse the organizational plan for the recent
years of this college (Kehoe, and Wright 2013). Then HR manager need to determine the
demand of the resources to implement the plan. To do this sometime they need to modify or
make any change on organization structure and productivity. As, Woodhill college giving more
chance to getting admission for students so they definitely need more staffs and lecturers. Also,
they should concern their costs to recruit new employees.
So HR manager should have a view on the financial position of the organization and then need to
set the tuition fees and apply for the Govt. and outside help to run their institution.
HR manager should understand the demand and supply of the other resources that relates with
employees on the institution. They should identify the gap between supply and demand and take
measures to fulfil these gaps.
b) Strengths and Weaknesses of different approaches of recruitment and selection process:
The existing recruitment and selection process of this institution is like-
They give the job vacancy and candidates submit their CV according to job vacancies and after
that HR manager identifies the most eligible candidates by judging the CV according to job
requirements and gives call to attend the interview. On interview candidates are asked different
questions like why they applied for this job, their knowledge about this college, their interest on
the subject, the deals with disruptive students, how they will contribute this college, their future
plan for a certain time being etc. then most of the applicants are asked to do a 10-minute
presentation about their interest of any subject. (Gusdorf, 2012).
After that interview the interview board which is made by at least 2 interviewers they judge and
make the criteria of these interviewers like A, B, C and they call the A rated means highest
marked interviewee to attend the induction day while the panel members are not offered any
training about the selection process.
Strengths of recruiting and selecting employees in external way that Woodhill college follows:
 It’s a recruiting and selection process that organization can do to hire people from outside
the organization without promoting the notice in the organization. Strengths of this
process are-
 This process is more effective to provide more chance to applicants to apply and it
strengthens the selection board by providing right candidate for the right post.
 It also gives fresh outlook of the organization about their recruitment and selection
process
 This process helps organization to get fresh talents and it also motivates the employees
inside the organization to force them more goal oriented to reach the promotional level

 This process helps to identify more skillful candidates from outside to the organization.
Weaknesses of recruiting and selecting employees in external way that Woodhill college
follows:
 Sometime it proves costly and longer on time to hire the people for the organization
 Sometime current employees can feel demotivated because they can think that they might
have less chance of promotion
 Sometime more applicants with same skills give tough task for the selection board to
select the perfect candidates.
For example: most of the Uk retails shop are following external recruitment and selecting
process to run their business and reach their goals and objective of their organization.
c) Functions of HRM which can provide talent and skills to fulfill the business objectives
 Human Resource Planning – The determination of the number and kind of employees
needed to achieve business goals is human resource planning. In simple it means to
appoint the right candidate to right kind of work which best describe his qualification and
he can use his skills to fulfill the task and target,
 Organising- Relationships are established among the employees so that they can work
together as a team to accomplish the organisational goals and targets.
 Recruitment and Selection- Recruiting of candidates via sources such as internal and
external and selecting them on the basis of there job profile and qualification.
 Training and development- Training is provided to the new employees in order to raise
there skills and competencies which can benefit to achieve the organisational goals and
targets. Overall development of new and existing employees is the major function played
by human resource management.
 Employee Welfare- The services and benefits provided to employee by organisation for
their well being. This helps to increase the motivation and sense of belongingness
towards organisation.
D and e) Critical Evaluation strengths and Weaknesses of different approaches of recruitment
and selection process with example:
Strength of the internal recruitment and selecting process:
 Internal selecting process that the employment opportunity is fulfilled by the internal or
inside of the organization.(Wright and McMahan, 1992.) There are many companies that
running with this process and there are some advantages to run this process (Richard,
2015). These are-
 It helps employees inside the organization to change their job position according to their
skills
 This process helps HR manager to take less time to do the selection
 Most of the time they don’t need to arrange separate training programs for the employees

 Employees having the proper knowledge about the organization and its goals so it helps
them to run new job on more efficiently
 This process proves cost effective for the organization
 It helps HR manager to make quick decision
Challenges and weaknesses of the internal recruitment and selecting process:
 There are some disadvantages and weaknesses of this process. These are-
 This process not giving chance to recruit fresh bloods to the organization
 All the systems are updating day by day so new people can take the organization on the
next level but this process can’t allow that.
 It does not show the clear view of recruitment process to the external world
 Organization can miss more skilful candidates by without searching them externally
 It reduces the innovative ideas of new peoples
 Sometime it really shows difficulty to find right person for the right place
Example of Internal source of recruitment- Most of the curry houses in UK uses the internal
source of recruitment like employee recommendation, notice board at factory gate etc.
Strength and Weaknesses of External Source of Recruitment
Strengths-
 More Choice- With the availablity of large pool of talents and qualified candidates, the
organisation can select the suitable candidates for the right post
 Fresh Talent- It facilitate fresh talent to enter in the corporate world. It encourages the
inflow of new ideas, skills and competencies.
 Competitive Advantage- In the continuing growing of the competition every organisation
wants best workforce it to earn maximum profit. External source of recruitment provides
with best and qualified talent to organisation to meet there manpower requirement.
Weakness
 Incurred Heavy Cost- External source is expensive to the organisation as it requires extra
cost for vaccancy announcement and advertisement.
 Demoralisation of existing employees- When the employees are selected from outside
force the existing employees feels dissatisfaction.
 Not Certain Response- Candidates do not apply for the jobs due to lack of information
provided by the organisation.
Example- Many large scale organisation in UK prefer external source like Campus Recruitment,
Management Consultants, Advertisement and online portals to fill the vacant post.
Output:

After analysing all these issues and the strengths and the weaknesses of external and internal
recruitment and selecting process it shows that “Woodhill College” running their recruitment
and selecting process by external way but the board is not well trained to selecting the right
person(Havton, 2011). So, they should give some training increasing their efficiency level to
choose the best person for the position what will help the college to run their process more
effectively and it will help them to reach their goals and objectives.

There are some issues that makes clear difference between training and development.

Training can be defined as the way of learning by the set of skills or the actions or the behaviour.
It helps to improve the job skills and improving the performance. It’s a short time process to
improve the skills. Also to do this leadership is not mandatory. This process happens to get
knowledge on any specific task. The main purpose the training is to improve productivity and
flexibility of work force. Also it helps to develop working capability. (Morrison, 2015)
On the other hand, development is a long term process. It includes educational and theoretical
concepts. It is based on more general and specific tasks oriented. The main purpose of
development is to make the management and leadership more productive. There is many
research that shows that the development process helps to improve the performance of managers.
b) The changes in customer expectations affected Tesco and its need to train staff:
The changes in customer expectations affected Tesco that impacts to need to train the
staffs to make them efficient so that they can meet the customer requirements.
As Tesco is about to open some new outlets in various locations where they will make many new
customers. To meet customers needs and requirement Tesco has to train there staff properly and
according to the skills they feel their employees need to be acquired with. To do that staffs need

posts can require these skills. Also, the employees that have different skills that will help Tesco

Also, Tesco is trying to develop the leadership because they are increasing their number of
stores, so ultimately their staffs number is increasing so they need more staffs that with
leadership skills who can make decisions on emergency and can continue good communication
among the staffs and managers.

managers can monitor the progress and help the trainee on real time. So employees can be
become more productive by this training method (Carmeli and Schaubroeck, 2011). Also it is bit
cheaper than other training programs
Off the job training refers to arrange training programs outside the job time or it can be outside
the job place. On this process many trainees can be trained at a time but it is costlier and not
related with the real time workforce.

member do it voluntary.
Weakness- Diverts the time of the senior employee and he unable to focus on his work

employees helps HR to take any decision that helps to reach the organizational goals and
objectives. Also, HR can determine the present situation of employees and the task that they are
operating. So it is easy for them to do the performance management and also to understand the
gap between demand and supplies of the employees issues(Tsui and Wu, 2010). It also HR to
determine the exact number of employees they need to run their organization and the right
skilled person for the post. So ultimately it helps and influence HR to take the decision for
further progress of ITV
