HR COMPANY REPORT
Company Overview
The company which we want to create is the coffee shop, and the name of our company will be
Coffee Grog Shop. As the coffee shops are the easy-going social setting which lends themselves
to the people in order to meet other people. The conversation takes place in parts due to the
historical underpinning of the coffee shops. The coffee shops have great music but don't have
any activities in order to bring the people together. Therefore, our Coffee Grog Shop will focus
on such areas and turn the weaknesses of the competitors into our strengths. Further, we will give
tough competition to our rivals and will succeed in achieving sustainable competitive advantage.
Core Product or Services
 Microbrews on draft and bottled- alcohol will be served to the customers as it minimises
inhibition and it helps to interact with new people.
 Espresso, coffee, cappuccino and various other drinks- these drinks are largely popular in
Ontario, Canada. People like to have coffee while having a conversation.
 An assortment of Tapas- this will be provided to the customers as they are easy to make
and moreover, the offering can be changed frequently.
Goals and Objectives
 Creating awareness of the brand through a steady growth of new and targeted
customers.
 Creating a hike in sales while gaining a status quo or decline in the expenses of the
marketing.
 Creating awareness of the structured system of conversation which will be measured
by the customers who will visit the Coffee Grog Shop to meet people.
Mission, Vision and Values
Coffee Grog Shop wants to offer a neighbourhood coffee shop so that people can meet. We will
exist in order to maintain and attract our customers. We will adhere to our rules, policies and
regulations.
Number of Employees

HR COMPANY REPORT
Initially, we would require 10 employees including the manager and the cashier.
Location
Our shop will be located in the Belleville, Ontario. As the competitors are less in that area. So,
we will be able to expand our business during our initial days.

The main competitors of our business will be The Brake Room and Coffee Time. They are also
located in the same area and offer similar kind of products and services to some extent.
Target Market
We will be targeting singles and professionals so that they can make new contacts by meeting
new people in our coffee shop. We will be targeting people with the age group of 20-40 as it is
the largest group of singles and professionals.
Legal Environment
This section provides guidelines for the management of employees within the Coffee Grog Shop.
Here, the legal environment under which the organisation operates is described along with the
employment law(s) that have the greatest affect/impact on Coffee Grog Shop.
Law 1: Employment Standards Act, 2000
This law defines the minimum standards of work at the workplace. The rights in the workplace
are defined by this law. Here, all the important areas related to work, employees and
management are covered in the hours of work, the pay of employees for the overtime, the
minimum wages to be paid to the employees, their vacation pay, the public holidays, the breaks
for meal and coffee, the maternity leave for the women in the workplace, the family and the
medical leaves, and the termination notice rules and the termination pay ("PAPERS FROM THE
ASSOCIATION OF CANADIAN LAW SCHOOLS 2016 ANNUAL MEETING, SECTIONS
ON EMPLOYEE BENEFITS AND EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION, AND MEDICINE AND
HEALTHCARE: COMPARING ERISA AND FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT CLAIMS
UNDER THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT").
This law has impact on the company as:

6
HR COMPANY REPORT
This law is common to all the organisations. So, any variation is not allowed. Thus, all the
employees of the company know about these provisions of working, and the management is also
aware of these points. So, there is no possibility of any conflict, miss-understandings, etc. If the
company does not follow this, it may not be able to survive in the long run. Also, this makes the
rules for the management too that they have to take care of the health and safety of their workers
and they have the responsibility of protecting the employees from any hazard.
It will help in managing the employees as:
When the leaves, pay, working hours, etc. are pre-defined, the management will not have to put
much effort in reminding the people about the rules. Also, they can take action against the
employees if any rule is not followed. The opposite is also true. The employees can ask for their
rights from the management. For example, if they are working overtime, they can ask for pay
and the management will have to approve that payment. So, with this law, the management
becomes automatically, and there is no scope of any clarification or explanation.
Law 2: Workplace safety and Insurance Act, 1997
This law provides a no-fault compensation insurance scheme for those workers who get injured
due to or in the course of their employment (“Introduction to Health and Safety at Work: For the
NEBOSH National General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety”). Also, the law
provides compensation to those employees who suffer from disabilities due to or in the course of
employment.
This law has impact on the company as:
The law makes the administration of the companies responsible for the claims, benefits, etc. of
the suffered employees. If this law is not applied or the company does not follow the provisions
of this act, then the workers may feel dissatisfied. They may go on a strike; they may stop the
work, or they may spread negative publicity for the company.
It will help in managing the employees as:
This law is very important for the management of the employees as in the case of any injury,
death or disability due to employment, if the employee does not get compensated adequately,

HR COMPANY REPORT
then he may sue the company and the existing employees may also go against the company. So,
for proper management of the people and the work, this law needs to be applied and followed.
Law 3: Employment Equity Act
This law helps in protecting the rights of four groups that are: women, the aboriginal people, the
disabled people and the visible minorities ("Employment equity in Canada and South Africa: A
comparative review").
This law has impact on the company as:
This law helps in protecting the rights of people. If the discrimination happens to the company,
the company will have to suffer from various law suits. Also, the policies of the company are
affected by this law. For example, if the company is recruiting someone, they cannot
discriminate on some of the parameters like gender, race, etc.
It will help in managing the employees as:
The employees will not be discriminated; they will feel satisfied and happy in the company.
When they are happy, the effort to manage them will be less.
