“To analyse the recruitment, selection and training methods of multinational companies
in order to meet international requirements.” A case study on Nestle.
INTRODUCTION
Globalisation is an ongoing process in which inter exchange of goods, services, human
resource and funds are transferred from one place to another on international level. With the help
of this business organisation can effectively gain number of opportunities through which they
can increase the share market ratios (Boyle, 2017). Globalisation effectively fulfils demands of
companies as well as customers. Present report is being conducted on Nestle, multinational
Organisation established in the year 1905 while headquartered in Switzerland. Company offer
chocolates, medical products and baby products as to fulfil customers demand. In this project

 What are they ways to identify Different types of selection, recruitment, and training
undertaken by Nestle as to meet international requirements?
LITERATURE REVIEW
Globalisation, recruitment, training and selection Concept
In the context of author (Storey, 2016) Globalization means independent movements of
goods and services from one place to another across globe in a smooth manner. Further, it can be
elaborate as the countries liberalize there import and export quality to attract foreign investment
which is important for economy growth. Countries alter their visa rules and in order to free flow
of foreign people from one country to another. In other words globalization helps in increasing
social, economic and political interaction beyond cultural boundaries. Recruitment is a process of
finding the right candidate from within or outside the organization for a job in given period of
time. The process goes through different phases of screening, selecting, and hiring best fit
employees in the organization. To get employment training is necessary, In a modern economy
working environment is contently changing. New technologies required new sets of skills, in
order to compete employee must go through training which help individual to become flexible in
any working conditions. Selection simply means to select the right person for the required job.
Effective selection of employees is important in organization in order to complete the task
effectively.
Different types of selection, recruitment, and training undertaken by Nestle as to meet
international requirements
According to the view point of (Omri, Frikha and Bouraoui, 2015)recruitment is essential
part for any organization, selecting the right candidate may increase the efficiency and
productivity of the company. Company like nestle, which operates in various countries must
select the right candidate for the job. Nestle post their job vacancies in the career section of their
websites and online on iimjobs.com. Company also have internal reference network for their
employees, so if person knows anyone who works for nestle, and get them to refer. Most of the
nestle vacancies fall under two categories, factory operation and supply chain operation. They
fill most of their vacancies through campus requirement and through online portals. Nestle prefer
6

prestigious institutions for their candidates. Application review, group discussion and final
interview are the hiring methods of the company in selection process. Training provides
opportunities for employees to expand their knowledge, nestle provide training sessions for their
employees to enhance their skills for better productivity. Nowadays companies spend more
money on training and development on the employees to bring out maximum productivity.
Training helps to enhance company reputation and profile which will create a strong image of
Nestle in the mind of employees. Employee who receives the necessary training will able to
perform better, it also helps in building the confidence of individual.
P2 Produce a project management plan
It is a blueprint which is used to describe critical points at every level of a project. In
other words, it is formal document that explains how the project is executed, examined and
controlled. Project document can be in any form, include criteria, management plans and
planning documents. Project manger ensures that the criteria of project are completed as per the
given standard, and make sure that organization get full advantage of the project. Beside criteria,
management plans ensure that project delivers on time and it is completed as per the blueprint of
project management plan. Major components of project management plans are stated below:
Cost:
It is one of the important factors before conducting any research. Every research requires
some cost for initial experiments, all types of tests and small trial are attempt in order to prove
the final outcome of research. In this research it has been identified that 5000 pounds will be the
estimated cost of this research. With the help of conducting activities within estimated cost
accomplishment of activities can be done in well effective and cost effective manner. This will
lead towards completion of work in a specified period of time.
Scope:
According to the investigation, scope of the research is immense and it will guide the
company in new direction in future. With this researcher can effectively able to identify new
ways to expand the market and capabilities of research. This will further aid in gaining more
developmental opportunities that will in turn provide more growth prospectives in well defined
manner. In addition with this with the help of defined scope conduction of work can be assured
in defined manner.
Time:
7

It is a measurable period, in which given action or task is completed. For every project,
there is starting and ending work. Project time may differ according different situations, it may
be resource, project expansion etc. According to the researcher, this project will take around 5
months to complete. With the help of measurable time completion of targets and works can be
done in specified period of time. In addition with this, with the help of proper time work can be
effectively done that lead towards ensuring high end productivity.
Quality:
It refers the degree of excellence in product or service provided by any company.
Standard of something is measured against the similar kind of product is known as quality (Dutta
and Bose, 2015). In the context of present research, researcher will provide the authenticate
information in his research.
Communication:
Is the act of conveying the message from one person to another through mutual sign,
symbols. But the information conveyed must be understandable to receiver. Researcher will
convey the information regarding the research through phones and emails.
Risk:
Risk is the probability of threat, damage, and loss occur during different circumstances.
The major risk of researcher is that, data collected by them for facilitation of research may get
copied by others this acts as an risk factor for researcher.
Resources:
Adequate supply of money, human resource and raw material which are required to run
the organisation effectively and efficiently. For the above research, researcher has to require
adequate amount of money and human resource for completion of project.
P3 Gantt chart and work break down structure.
Gantt chart
This chart is basically used in project management, and it is one of the commonly used
methods for showing activities of task and events. It was first introduce by Karol Adamiecki in
1890. The chart is presented in tabular form in order to schedule activities as per time and day. In
the reference with the above research, researcher has used Gantt chart to finish the day to day
8

activity. With this, researcher can track the day to day activities of the project, it also help the
researcher to assign the task to the respective workers to complete the task in given time. Thus it
provides the critical path to the researcher to accomplish given project in estimated time.

Work break down structure (WBS)
A work break down structure (WBS) define as the scope to manage large chunk of
project into small parts. With the help of this researcher can effectively able to perform their
research activities. In simple terms, WBS is a structural framework that segregates large sum of
activities into many small portions that further allow research to manage their activities in well
10

defined manner and can further able to attain results in well defined and efficient manner. In
addition with this, it will allow research to manager their activities and functions as per
according to structured time and day and get effective results with the help of which efficient
research outcomes can be gain.
