Part 2: The Job Application
TASK 3
P5 Explanation of employee's importance in terms of influencing HRM decision making
Employee relation refers to efforts that devise by the administration of an organisation to
manage and make good and effective relations among employees and employers. In Tesco, it can
be a process of managing relationship among workforce and superior. It is essential for the
9

company because it beneficial to create a effective and healthy working environment so that
employees can perform their work and task in crucial way without creating any kind of
discrimination. Employees relations also effective to operate the business of the company in
crucial manner so that it can accomplish its aims and objectives in set time duration. If the
relations among employees and employers will not be good then it will affect the firm in
negative manner. The flow of information will not be proper, chances if discrimination and
partiality will be high. Employees will not perform their work properly and ineffective relation
can demotivate employees. For example, in Tesco if the company adopt new technology in its
business due to change in consumer needs. Then, due to ineffective relationship, employees will
not ready to adopt this change because they have fear to decrease their performance. This
negatively affect the decision making of HRM in negative term because decision of applying
new technology influence unfavourably.
To make effective relation with employees, the management can utilise option of open
communication so that workers can discuss their issues and problems with their seniors without
fear and get effective solution on time. Flexible working option is an another way to make good
workforce relation. If the management of respective company will make flexibility in its work
then employees can do their work as per their suitability. It will also not create burden of work to
them as well as organisation. By following the option of employees of choice, they can a lot and
assign the work as per employees skills and knowledge. This positively affect the decision
making of HRM because when the human resource management consider this HR practice then
employees can perform their work adequate way and complete it on grated time frame which
positively affect decision making of HRM.
P6 Key elements of employee legislation and impact it has upon decision-making of HRM.
Employment legislation very well known for different types of laws and legislation which
is given by governmental bodies in every country and followed by company in an appropriate
manner. These assorted rules and regulations are developed by government of UK in context of
TESCO they always followed by HR manager to increase workforce, that are:
Equal and diversity act, 2010: This act was given by the parliament of UK in order to
protect employees from the discrimination which all are develop by an organisation like race,
competition, pay, gender and many more. With the help of this act employees are able to take
few advantages within each scenario and not able to face any discrimination at workplace. For
10

example, in Tesco, if the management of the respective company will follow equality and
diversity act then it can create a positive work place where all the employees treat in similar
manner with out making any kind of discrimination regarding growth options, reward system and
others. It will also create favourable impact upon decision making of HRM because when there
is not discrimination in working environment then the management can focus on other activities
of the firm in context of its growth (Armstrong and Taylor, 2014).
Sex discrimination act, 1975: This act was develop for that companies which make
discrimination between male and female employees along with their opportunities and growth. In
relation of TESCO, if management team of this organisation will not follow this act then it could
be affect HRM decisions and overall working environment as well. Therefore, management team
of this representative firm should follow this act by which employees do not need to face any
complications at workplace and they can work together at same position. For instant, if the
administration of Tesco will not follow this act then the chance of arising issues and
complexities high due to discrimination which negatively affect the company as well as HRM
decision making. The discrimination will arise on the basis of gender and it will influence male
and female employees in term of pay, working hours and roles or responsibilities. If the
respective company pay high salary to male employees then it demotivate female which can be a
reason of employees turnover. This create negative impact upon the decision making and leaders
and managers take decision regarding to resolve this issue.
Fair Labor Standards Act, 1938: This is being considered as the act, which kept its
focus on establishing effectively a much clearer and defined element in relation to minimum
wages, payment along with various restrictions as well. If it is talked about Tesco, then this
organization also taken into consideration of different amendments and provisions that takes
place. This has helped them in taking appropriate decisions in relation to criminal violation.
Minimum Wages Act, 1998: This is related with minimum amount of wages which must
be paid to employees. This is a sole right for employees whether they are skilled or non skilled
they have to be paid a minimum fixed amount of wages. For example, In Tesco, if the
management of the company will not follow this act then it can not provide satisfaction to
employees in monetary term. This will unfavorably affect the decision making of human
resource management because if employees will not get pay as per their work then they will not
11

local toward firm. It can be create situation of employees term over and the decision of HRM to
implement this act will be affect negatively (Marchington and et.al., 2016).
Occupational Health and Safety Act, 2004: This act helps in making changes related to
health, safety and welfare of employees in an organization. Tesco is able to maintain high safety
standards so that there is a satisfied workforce which can help in achievement of set objectives.
There is better communication and management of human resource in more effective manner.
For example, In Tesco, if the management of the company will follow this law then it provide a
healthy and friendly working environment where employees can use their all efforts and
effectiveness and make contribution in organization's growth and success. This favorably affect
decision making of HRM because when workforce performing their work using any risky
techniques then with help of this act the management can provide safety and security to their
manpower.
Trade Union Act, 2016- This act was developed in 2016 as a UK labor law which is
passed by the David Cameron administration of UK conservative party. In Tesco, the
management of the company should formulate plan and polices, rules and regulations by
considering this act. If the company do any changes then labor can action towards it which will
affect decision making of HRM favorably as well as negatively.
