as well as well its employees. So as, teamwork is as important as makes strategy and policies.
Teamwork helps to develops employee’s morale and their confidence so that they can perform
better (Kumari and Malhotra, 2013). For that managers have to hire that kind of person to whom
is able to working cordially and effectively. Human resource management is the term by which
managers are appointing well skilled and talented person so that goals of an individual and as
well as organisation can be achieved. It is helpful in order to coordinating in any activity of the
organisation. Every business needs to hire new workers to fulfil new positions in organisation,

TASK 1
1.1 What documentation is required to recruit and select new staff member
There are following documents that are helpful in order to recruit and selecting new
employees. They are helpful to provide the all overall description about roles and duties so that
they can easily applied in Imda Tech limited. The basic documentations are as follows: - Approval of recruitment:- Whenever a new employee are hired, it is necessary to take
permission from higher department. These authorities are decides that what kind of
person should be hired for that post and what is the salary criteria for that position
(Kenny, 2011). Skills, education and qualification are also mentioned in documentation,
after getting approval managers are started to find a new candidate. Position Description: - Position description is also an essential factor of documentation,
in that all the details about the post and its roles and responsibilities are mentioned. So
that, only the deserving candidates are apply for that job. It is related the job description

and job section for the candidates it makes easier to understand their duties in that
particular job.
 Advertising: - Advertising is the term that is able to attract candidates for the profiles. For
that companies are hire recruitment consultancies or posted their job on job portals and
newspaper (Yang, Huang and Wu, 2011). It is the important task of hiring process that is
done with the help of human resource management.
1.2 Evaluate the impact of the legal considerations in recruitment and selection process and also
assess the areas of improvements
The process of recruitment and selection is related with legal authorities and regulatory
considerations of the organisations. There are so many rules and regulations that are necessary to
follows, when they are hiring of a new persons. When the HR manager of Imda Tech, starts
recruiting of person, there are so many ethics that bounded him to find a talent candidate. It is
necessary for the managers that he should have aware from all rules and regulations, this will
help him in job posting, minimise risk, checking job offers and making interview questions.
Different types of law and legislations of recruitment and selection process such as: - race
relation act, sex discriminatory act and employee equality act (McIntyre and Foti, 2013).
Organisations are bound to follows all these rules and regulations.
 Race religion act, 1965 was established in order to addresss racial discrimination at
workplace. The act outlawed discrimination on the basis of ground of colour, ethnic or
national origins and race etc. at workn places.
 Minimum wages act 1948 sets the avergae wages that must be paid to skilled and non
skilled labours. It is essential for employers as to provide minimum wages and salaries to
their employees. Employee equality act, 2010 ensures the consistency in which employees and employers
needs to do make their workplaces a fair work environment and comply with the law.
Impact of laws and legislation upon recruting and hiring process of the company: -
But the impact of these rules and regulation can be improved by reducing the legal
considerations and follows only ethics at the time of hiring. It means there should be no
discrimination will made at the times of appointing men or women. Along with this, there is
equality in remuneration of men and women, this will reduces the chances of jealousy and
employees are able to perform well being in business organisation. The success of the business

organisation depends upon its efficiency of employees. Effecient and effective employees always
makes the work properly. So as hiring effecient employees has been considerd one of the most
important jobs of the manager. For this, such person needs to plan a structure which is crucial to

TASK 2
2.1 Elaborate the skills needed for leadership
The skills and attributes needed for leadership are helpful to attaining organisational
goals and objectives. The HR manager of Imda Tech focuses on how to increases the leadership
quality and skills among employees. Leadership also provides a good professional growth as
well as personal growth to the managers. It encourages their confidence and morale in order to
achieve the organisational goals and objectives. It is helpful towards taking long term decisions
and makes an effective working environment of the business organisation. Every organisation
needs that kind of leaders and managers whom can manages the overall working criteria of the
company and runs it effectively for a long term period. Leadership skills also accomplish the
strategic management of the organisation in order to create operative strategies and policies. The
role of the leader is more effective rather than a manager; he/she guides the employees in order
to develop their performance. According to (Castner, 2012) a manager is a leader or a leader is a
manager. The roles and responsibilities of the leader are more significant than a manger. He has
the power to provide training and coaching to the managers so that their productivity can be
increased. Leadership is guiding the employees through applying leadership skills and
techniques.
Below mentioned some main skills and attributes of a leader: -
 The leader should be honest and responsible for each and every activity of the company.
The ability to lead effectively is a based on a number of key skills.

 As a leader the person should be able to clearly and succinctly convey information to
employees everything about organisational goals for specific tasks. Leader must be
master in all forms of communication in order to convey messages easily.
 Leader need to inspire and motivate their workers as they can work long term period over
the company.
2.2 Distinguishes between leadership and management
The role of the manager is totally different form a leader. A manager manages the overall
activities of the organisation and a leader guided a particular part of the organisation. In Imda
tech, there are different roles and responsibilities of the leader and managers: they employee two
persons one as a leader and another as a manager. The individual to who is responsible for a new
division, if that person has the characters of a manager only so that he is not able to take
responsibilities to maintain the separation effectively (Cooper, J.B., and et. al., 2011). The
difference between the role of a leader and a manager are as follows: -
 The leader has the traits and the manager also, because if a person to who is not capable
to play the managerial role so that is cannot perform the role of a leader; along with this
leadership requires the ability of manages the overall working environment of the
organisation .
 A leader has to increase the performance of the employees and develop their efficiency
and the manager has to look the overall factors of the organisation that affect the
performance of the employees (Chuang, Jackson and Jiang, 2016).
 Leaders are willing to try new and innovative things even if they fail miserably. They
know taht failure is often a step on the path to success. Whereas management work to
minimise and control the risk. They seek to aviod issues or probelms rather than
embracing them.
 Leaders focuses on people- all the stakeholders they need to influence in order to realize
their vision and mission. Managers focus upon the structure necesary to set and achieve
goals of the business organisation.
2.3 Explain the leadership styles
There are four types of leadership styles, to involve them managers can enhances the
performance of the employees. Such as follows; -

 Autocratic or authoritarian leadership – An autocratic leader consolidated power and
the decision making in him in order to achieves the organisational goals and objective.
He gives the instructions and order to the employees without consulting them. The leader
is responsible for full authority or it is a negative leadership that is based on punishment
and threats (Nelsey and Brownie, 2012). It follows clear cut direction and commanding,
close supervision order of the superior. It forces employees to work hard in order to avoid
punishment and threats. Democratic or participate leadership - It refers to the decentralised authority. It involves
the consultation of the subordinators and their participation in order to formulized plan
and strategies. It is also helpful in decision making process of Imda Tech limited. It
higher up the motivation of the employees and improves their morale so that they can
perform better. The Laissez-faire or Free-rein leadership – Free-rein leaders are avoided the power and
their responsibilities. In that, the leader gives no directions and instructions in order to
establishes goals and works out its own problems.
 Paternalistic leadership – Under this style leader assumes that his duties are paternal.
Here, paternalism means papa knows the best. In that, the leader guides his subordinates
as a family member.
Autocratic leadership Democratic leadership
 It creates a strict divide among the one
giving the orders and those expected to
follow them.
 Autocrats tend to make decisons
independently whcih can result in
abuse of power,
 This type of leadership style offer
guidance to their team members and
seeks their inputs on making decisions.
2.4 Explain the ways that are helpful to motivate staff
In leadership process there are so many processes that are helpful in order to motivating
and encouraging employees. These methods analyse the overall working environment and after
that take any decision. Those methods, such as – Maslow’s need hierarchy theory, X & Y theory

and two factor theory. Along with this, all the learning methods and steps that are mentioned in
these theories are helpful in order to achieves Imda Tech goals and objectives. They are also
accomplishes the performance of the employees and making long term strategy and policies so
that organisation can easily compete with the external factors of capital market (Zhang, Cao and
Tjosvold, 2011). These are the following ways that motivate the staff members: - Reasonable payments – If organisation provides reasonable payment and remuneration to
the employees so that employees are able to performing well. It also increases their
productivity and efficiency because it fulfils their all financial needs and also the
psychological needs.
 Treat all employees with respect – Every person is loves its self-respect and dignity, if
the employees of the Imda tech cannot find the environment where their do not respect by
the managers (Yeung and et. al., 2012.). So managers have to give respect and extreme to
the employees so that they are motivated to well-being with the organisation.
