This report examines how multinational companies, specifically Nestle, improve their recruitment, selection, and training processes to meet international requirements. The report begins with an introduction to globalization and its impact on businesses, followed by a project management plan outlining costs, scope, time, quality, communication, and risk management. The research aims to identify ways Nestle can adapt its HR practices, including recruitment, selection, and training, to meet global needs. A Gantt chart and work breakdown structure are included to illustrate the project's timeline and organization. The research methodology employs both qualitative and quantitative approaches, utilizing primary and secondary data collection methods, including questionnaires and sampling techniques. The report provides a detailed questionnaire used for data collection and analysis, which explores various aspects of HR practices, and then concludes with the data analysis, recommendations, and a reflection on the project.

while performing the research methodology.
Primary sources
6

This the sources of accumulating fresh information or data. Within primary research that
is gathered through fresh fact which are never utilised before. Investigator who accumulate
primary data is considered as the data owner. It is performed through gathering certain

data for research are observation, focus group etc. The information that are collected through this
methods is relevant as well as can be tailored as per the needs. This is costly as well as needs
more knowledge regarding topic to perform effectual research.
For this particular research, investigator prepare questions with the help of both methods
quantitative and qualitative by using primary data collection so that they can gathered data in
efficacious manner for acquiring effectual outcomes.
Sampling
This is the techniques that aids in choosing number of members from huge populations.
