Overview of the research:
Recruitment, selection and training of employees is important for an organisation to fulfil
international requirement easily. There are different theories of recruitment, selection and
training but Experiential learning is most essential theory. This theory is effective and personal
in nature, impacting both emotions and feelings as well as aid in improving skills and knowledge
of employees within an organisation (Bager and et. al., 2015). According to the scenario, Nestle
decide to improve training, selection and recruitment process of their employees by applying on-
the-job and Off-the-job training methods, usage of online platforms and through conducting
personal interviews. As, it will directly help an enterprise to develop their business operations at
global level.

Research aim:
Main aim of this research is “To analyse the importance of improving employee's
recruitment, selection and training to meet with international requirements. A study on Nestle.
Research objectives:

international requirements effectively (Bisharat and et. al., 2016). This report is important in
personal as well as academic manner and help a researcher in improvement of its data analysis
and data interpretation skills.
Literature Review
Employee's recruitment, selection and training process in global environment
According to the Smriti Chand, 2018, recruitment introduces as the finding and hiring of
best-qualified candidates from within or outside of an organisation. Selection is the important
process of selecting the most knowledgeable candidates for the vacant position within an
organisation. Training refers as an useful program that is developed to enhance the knowledge,
technical skills, value and efficiency of employees to do any specific job in better manner within
global business environment.

Effective ways for improving recruitment, selection and training process for employees of
Nestle
According to the Arte Nathan, 2016, there are different ways for enhnacing recruitment,
selection and training of candidates. For this, Nestle must survey international business
environment, Align training with management’s operating goals, Keep innovating etc. All these
are consider most essential and effective ways for improving employee's competency with the
help of training, recruitment and selection process are named as simulation for off the job
training, online platforms like website for recruitment and personal interview for selection of
most suitable candidates.
Types of training used by Nestle
According to Surbhi S, 2017, there are mainly two types of training which is on-the-job
and off-the-job. Both are essential type of training method which is used by Nestle to trained
their employees. On -the-job training is an effective type of training which is given by an
organisation at the workplace during the actual job performance. On the other hand, off-the-job
another type of training which is provided outside of the company. For example: class room
training, coaching and mentoring etc. are identify beast example of off-the-job training. Both are
essential type of training which is used by company to train their workers. Coaching and
mentoring is a off-the-job training which will be used by Nestle as it will help them to meet with
international requirement easily.

Project management plan introduces as an effective activities and processes needed to
identify, combine, define and coordinate all subsidiary plans (Board, 2017). In order to complete
project management plan, different number of elements will be included which is cost, time,
quality, risk, scope etc. All these are consider most essential aspects for completing project
management plan. All these aspects are determined as under:
Sources of Project
Management Plan
Description
Cost: I need accurate amount of capital for doing each activities of
research such as development of aim and objective, creation
of literature review, selection of appropriate research

methods, collection and analysis of accurate data about the
study (Ciobanu and Androniceanu, 2018). For completing this
research, investigator require minimum £150.
Scope According to me, the scope of the methods which are used
like qualitative and quantitative in inclusion with primary and
secondary is understood from the point that it further help the
organisation to analyse the strength associated with the
accepted methods and its positive impact over organisation
(Gardner, Grantcharov and Dunkin, 2018).
Time In order to improve training, selection and recruitment
process, Nestle require minimum 2 months of time period. On
the other side, for completing each activities or tasks of
investigation and research, I require approximately 6 weeks.
Quality The quality is must to ascertain while selecting any of the
method related to recruitment, selection and training. In this
regard, needed to focus over the factors which are present in
international global environment and according to that final
methods are selected which help to attain qualitative end
results (Gilani and Jamshed, 2016). Apart from this, I has
followed qualitative and quantitative research for performing
each activities of research in systematic manner. As both type
of research are essential and support a researcher in analysis
of the facts which are accurate in nature and provide authentic
information which results in selection of the best methods.
Communication Along with this, I will also use different number of
communication media such as voice calls, video conferencing
etc. All these are essential medium for me to communicate
each information for their respondents about development of
aims and objectives etc. (Joshi and et. al., 2016).
Risk In selection of sample size, development of aims and

objectives are consider major risks which will impact on
researcher while performing each activities of investigation.
Resources The resources needed by me for completing this study is
primary and secondary resources (Lorincová, 2015). It
includes books, journals, magazines, questionnaire etc.
P3
Work breakdown structure: It is a incremental as well as hierarchical decomposition on
the research project into different number of deliverables, phases and work packages. In addition,
it introduces as an useful model of the work which is performed in a research project designed in
a hierarchical structure. It is an essential and significant tool which supports to keep a detail or
an effective overview of the project. This tool is used by Nestle with purpose to divide all works
or tasks of project among different departments (Luger and et. al., 2016).
(Source: Work breakdown structure, 2018)

Gantt Chart: It refers as an useful graphical presentation tool which describes different
number of tasks performed against specific period. It is also identified as a visual presentation
where each activities or tasks broken down on a chart which makes it is more easy to understand
and interpret. It is most essential and effective tool in project because with the use of this
technique, a researcher is able to analysis starting and closing data for completion of each
activities in project (Nazir, Øvergård and Yang, 2015). In this chart, different number of
activities will be included which are determined in form of chart as under:

Research methodology introduces as an effective and systematic plan for conducting an
investigation. In addition, it is an useful process which will be followed by researcher to gather
data and information in appropriate manner. In this section different methods of research will be
included which are determined as under:
Data collection: There are basically 2 kind of data collection methods including, primary and
secondary. All these are determine as under: Primary research: For accumulating primary information, questionnaire will be
followed by researcher (Vainshelboim and et. al., 2015). As it is more effective because
with the use of this method, a investigator can easily gather reliable as well as valid data
about the study. Secondary research: Books, magazines, journals, publication research are consider
secondary source which will be applied by researcher. As it will assist them in
accumulation of in-depth and accurate information regarding the effectiveness of staff's
selection, recruitment and training.
Qualitative and quantitative research: Qualitative research refers as an effective method
of inquiry which is used for developing better understanding about human and social science. On
the other side, quantitative research is another type of research which is used by researcher for
generating hard facts and numerical data according to the study. Both type of research are used
for this project and with the help of these research questionnaire will be prepared by the
researcher.
Sampling method: Non-probability and probability are consider two types of sampling
method. According to current study, probability sampling method will be used by researcher. As
it is useful method as compare to non-probability sampling because it not require more cost,

time, resources etc of an organisation (Zimmermann and et. al., 2016). Therefore, with the help
of random sampling as a type of probability sampling, 15 employees of Nestle will be taken into
consideration.
Research instrument: Questionnaire introduces as an essential instrument of primary
research which is based on both qualitative and quantitative research. In qualitative research,
information will be collect in form of quality. Under quantitative research, data will be
accumulated in percentage and hard facts.

TASK 3
P5
Research philosophy: There are two forms of philosophy including, positivism and
interpretivisim. According to the topic, interpretivisim philosophy will be applied because it help
in identification of impact. On the other side, positivism philosophy is not essential for this
project because it take more time of investigator.
Research approach: Inductive and deductive are introduce two types of research approach.
Both approaches are essential, but in order to identify importance of training, selection and
recruitment for employees, inductive approach will be used (Zimmermann and et. al., 2016). On
the other hand, deductive approach is not appropriate according to this project because it take
maximum resources of an enterprise.
Data analysis: This part of project is most important which will help an investigator to
analyse accurate data about the study. It will be accomplished with the assist of thematic
analysis. In this method, different themes will be develop on qualitative and quantitative
questions. As it will support me to complete each activities of investigation in accurate manner.
