employees within same workplace for positive outcomes. It includes transfer, employee referrals,
promotion, demotion, retired employees (Internal and External Sources of Recruitment, 2016).
These all are performed within same workplace to hire capable and known person to
organisation. This approach has some strengths and weaknesses such as:
Strengths Weaknesses

higher post then their morale rise for
better work performance.
 Internal recruitment leads to promote
employees as they feel happy as well as

among candidates because many
undeserving employees get chance for
promotion.

management consultants, employment exchange, casual callers, recruiting, deputation,

5) Evaluation of process and rationale for conducting specific recruitment related to HR
practices.
For an organisation it is very much potential to evaluate the Recruitment process as
inappropriate kind of recruitment process should be long, confusing or lacklustre hires (Grech,
Horberry and Koester, 2019). In context of MRC they in specified time period evaluate their HR
process by using respective factors that are as follows:
Process of recruitment:
It is very much potential for an organisation to select and retain one of most talented
personnel in the organisation. To select candidates it is potential to opt the process that are:
planning of recruitment, strategy development, searching of right candidate and screening of
respective candidates and at last evaluation and control of various activities related with
recruitment. It has been analyze that for an organisation recruitment and selection of potential
candidates plays very much important role to remain competitive in business environment.
Cost per hire- For an organisation it is very much important to evaluate cost of
recruitment that includes (Advertising cost+ consultancy fees+ Total interview cost). Cost per
hire evaluates the expense occurred by an organisation while hiring an individual. It enables to
an organisation to understand the value of money they currently spending and evaluation of other
sources by using that they can save cost. In context of MRC they evaluate their recruitment cost
in order to opt another recruitment procedure for saving the cost.
Time to fill- Time to fill is another important factor that need to consider by an
organisation while recruiting a candidate (Fletcher, 2019). The rationality here is that vacant
position takes too much cost and faster the position is filled proved better for the organisation in
order to remain competitive in the business environment. In context of MRC they evaluate the
15

on and average time in recruiting and selecting the candidate within the organisation as time is
very much valuable for them.
Significance for conducting specific recruitment related to HR practices
The primary aim of the recruitment and selection policy to ensure a transparent and fair
kind of hiring process that helps in selecting the right kind of candidate on basis of merit and
relevancy for job. The conducting specific recruitment HR Practices bring transparency in the
hiring process. As transparency is very much important with having complete confidence over
the end result. In context of MRC, to remain transparent they always informed about the status of
the application and informed that they are awarded by the job so that they can assure about their
work and responsibility and prepare oneself for it.
It direct towards the way for merit based hires- The effective kind of recruitment
policy ensure about the overall recruitment process is being conducted in most fair and in
legitimate way (Cooke and et. al., 2019). It is potential to avoid the discriminatory behaviour at
any stage of the overall recruitment process as no person should be discriminated on basis of
gender, race, age and religion. In context of MRC, by using the various kinds of HR practices
they can be able to bring transparency in their business outcomes potentially.
6) Analysis of importance of employee relations.
Employee relations refers to the manner in which management addresses and interacts
with their staff members in order to build strong relationship with the employees. Managing
good relationship helps in reducing the workforce conflict, enhance morale of employees and in
raising the overall productivity. People and workforce is very much important for the MRC
needless to say that no business can operate their business activities without the team and their
contribution in effective manner. It is very much essential to develop the smooth communication
with others in order to get the job done. Here are the some points that elaborate importance of
employee relations that affect HR decision making:
Employee satisfaction- Employee engagement often connected with employee
satisfaction, less engaged employee are less satisfied in nature. Not healthy relationship within
the employees can be the one of main cause for dissatisfaction in them (Campanella and et. al.,
2020). For an organisation it is very much important to organised some events and get together
in which employees can share their views and opinions and build positive kingship with one
16

another. In context of MRC with the help of various activities that enables to engaged employees
bring satisfaction and prosperity.
Employee relations plays very much important role in enhancing productivity and raising
retention rate of employees so that potential outcomes should be achieved. Respective activities
directly influence in the HRM decision making by using concepts are as follows:
Flexible organisation- The concept of flexible organisation is related with the ability of
a business adapt changes in the external business environment, it helps to become responsive as
per opportunities and threats and agile in the decision making process. By using respective kind
of organisational culture in which each and every individual can be able to adopt is often referred
to as organic structure in comparison to mechanistic structure. In MRC by adopting the flexible
organisation they can be able to maintain the healthy work relationship with the employees.
Flexible working practices- Flexible working practices are the work arrangements in
which employees get the greater working scheduling freedom by fulfilling the working
obligations as per their position. Flexible working practices enables to build the healthy
relationships in between the workers in terms of time to begin and end work. It helps in
balancing the work and their personal life properly in order to gain desirable outcomes.
Employer of choice- Employer of choice is concerned with the offering a fantastic work
culture and workplace environment that attracts and retain the superior employees (Bos-Nehles
and Veenendaal, 2019). It provides the extraordinary work environment in which every
individual can be able to give one of their best efforts. In context of of MRC by using respective
practice they can be able to maintain positive relationship with employees.
7) Identify the key elements of employment legislation.
Legislations and their implementation within the organisation plays very much important
role in managing the activities and employees in lawful manner. Here are the key elements of
employment legislation. The basic subject of legislations concerned under the nine broad heads
are employment relationships, wages and remuneration, conditions of work, health, safety and
welfare, social security, trade unions and industrial relations that maintain positive work culture
within the organisation.
Wages and remuneration- The laws on wages and remuneration devoted the elements
such as forms and methods of payment, protection of wages against the unlawful kind of
deductions and other kind of abuses that hinders self interest of an individual in giving one of
17

their best efforts potentially (Baldwin, 2019). Legal requirements related to the forms of wages
and methods related to the forms and methods of wage payment by giving proper notification of
wage conditions, payment of wages by legal tender or by check that maintain transparency in
transactions potentially in order to gain desirable outcomes.
Conditions of work- In conditions of work involved the working hours, rest period and
vacations, prohibitions of child labour with regulations related to the employment of young
persons and special provision for women in the organisation (Bader, Reade and Froese, 2019).
The legislations in the organisation protected the rights of children, young individuals and
regulations related to night work and excessive hours so that each and every individual have the
potential knowledge about the work and hours of working in order to gain the desirable
outcomes. In context of MRC, by elaborating the working hours and their fair kind of working
conditions in order to achieve the potential outcomes from them.
8) Critical analysis of key aspects of employee relations and their application in HRM practices.
In HR practices includes the practices of an organisation to boast their employees by
considering the employees companies most valuable assets but there are some prevalence
employee relations issues in the workforce that stopping their employees to reach at their full
potential. In context of MRC, the major aspects of employee relations are
Open communication- For an organisation it is very much potential to have the close
relationship with the employees and it can be only possible by communicating in potential
manner so that they can work comfortably in fulfilling the task properly. In context of MRC by
using open communication organisation can be able to share the knowledge and information
potentially that helps in the decision making process.
Show recognition- In order to build the healthy relationship within the organisation it is
very much potential to recognize the work of employees by giving award and benefits so that
they feel satisfied with their work (What Is Employee Relationship Management?). In context of
MRC they provide both the monetary and non monetary awards to their employees in order to
satisfy their needs so that they can give one of their best efforts in organisational development
and enhancement in positive manner. When organisation provides recognition to their it helps in
enhancement of an individual career positively.
Invest in employees- The another important attributes in building strong relationship
with employees is to invest in their employees in their career enhancement by providing training
18

and development to them so that they can contribute one of their best efforts in organisational
development (Azari, Ozger and Cavdar, 2019). In context of MRC they by using respective
practice able to enhance morale of their employees. On other hand by not paying attention on
employees and their development impact adversely on their productivity as they not able to
pursue their work for long period of time. So employee relationships plays very much important
role in organisational as well as individual development and enhancement. By not obeying
respective practices individual not able to pay full attention on contributing their skills and
capabilities.
