INTRODUCTIONManaging human resource is generally termed as Human Resource Management (HRM).It is the term which is used in the organization for managing people who are working there. Thehuman resource manger (HR manager) is responsible for management of human resource and themajor area in which he has to be focused upon is staffing, compensation of employees, assigningtheir work and their benefits. The HR manager has to assure that the optimum utilization ofhuman resource should be there (Stone, 2013). The present report is based on 'J Sainsbury plc'.This company is the second largest supermarket in UK. It is a retailer organization.

The achievement of organizational goals by using strategic management of theorganisation has described throughthe Guest's Model of HRM. This model gives emphasis onneeds of individual rather than combined needs of workforce which tends to enable theorganisations for developing power and flexibility. David Guest has described in his model that it is based on presumption that HumanResource Management is completely different from traditional approach which is personnelmanagement. This new approach is wider in scope as compare to previous one. Many of theorganisations are now following the new concept of managing human resources. Like Sainsburycompany is also applying the new approach. The model describes about the fundamental elements of HRM approach which has directconnection with the valued consequences of business. Though Guest's has mentioned thatconcept of commitment is messy, so it is difficult to maintain balance between commitment andhigh performance (Storey, 2014). It also imparts a 'flow' approach which undertakes the strategyunderpinning and also results in gaining desired outcomes.This model of UK is unitarist that means aligned the goals of employee behaviour and thecommitment made buy him with the goals of strategic management. This also proves as thelukewarm for value of trade unions in the organisation. The relationship of employee is to beviewed as one which is between an individual and the organisation (Guest model of HRM. 2016)2
