It should take place in a good environment and by planning the requirement of staff into the
company. This practice must be cost effective and sustainable for maximum utilisation of
resource in Nissan corporation. It includes recruitment and selection of necessary employees
which will be suit for the organisation department (Azizi, et.al 2021). This process involve
taking skill test, aptitude test of the candidates. Also, the mangers must set a specific criteria
before giving applications and job description. In order to avoid any overlapping of candidates,

the organisation.
Weakness:

 The recruitment process may have limited options if only internal recruitment has done. It
did not involve further opportunities to attract fresh talent.
 The recruitment process enable lack of communication in which the recruiter may not
find the effective talent properly.
Creating favourable working environment: The workplace must be creating in positive
manner. There is requirement of working in well structure workplace which provides support,
relation. It motives the staff and helps in retaining. Nissan motor corporation facing issue of
unhealthy workplace which creates conflicts and politics into the working environment.
Therefore, the company needs to look at providing better coordination and group activities which

Performance management: It is another HRM practices which involve employee
participation and motivation to work. Performance management are a part of employee

contribution ( pandemiVrontis, et.al 2021). The managers of Nissan corporation needs to first
research about the competition into market so that, they will provide better facilities to the
employees. Before recruiting and retaining, employees should be aware about companies
performance management policies. It will helps in deriving out their best potential from the staff

factor of jealousy.
Employee retention: It is also another HRM practices which is required to widely look
at. An organisation seeks great talented and skilful employees. The Nissan motors require this
HRM practice in order to avoid any shortages of employees at the time of peak session. The
company will have sufficient employees to divide the work and activities in order to manage
work properly. The Nissan motors require retention programmes, campaigns and activities which
will provide benefit to the company as well.
Strength:

fresh talent as per the modern business requirement.

Therefore, the Nissan motors needs to encounter all these HRM practices into the
organisation. These are crucial aspects which must be fulfil by HR managers of company to

2020). All the above discussed practices will have adequate impact on the talent management of

activities to involve employees participation.
Training methods:
There are various types of trainings methods which helps in provide best knowledge and
information to the employees. Training is a crucial activity for self development and
performance appraisal (Mousa,and Othman, 2020). It helps in creating valuable efforts into
organisation by improving mistakes and gain higher opportunities. These training methods are
necessary to undertake employees contribution which are described below:

On the job: These training programme are known as internal methods which takes place
within the organisation. It could take place regularly within the company to create a learning
environment in the organisation. It includes various area through which managers could provide
training. In context of Nissan corporation, the apprenticeship programme, planned progression,
coaching and temporary promotions are a part of it (Michael, 2019). Therefore, the managers
could attract employees though giving them promotions and apprenticeship to be a part of the
firm. Mainly young employees look for more career opportunities that requires these
programmes and benefits. It may include role plays, case study trainings, questions and answers.
The role plays will help in attracting employees to participate in real life sceneries and acts. It
will work as a fun and entertainment with gaining knowledge regarding their specialisation area.
Job rotation is also a part of on the job training (Bratton,Gold,Bratton, and Steele, 2021). It is
about shifting one employee to another post of location. It will give them new experiences and
learning environment. These new experiences provide potential functions to the employees in
order to work in challenging situation.
Off the job: This type of training programme involves external work environment. These
type of performance require more attention into the training session. External trainings are found
to be less interesting as people does not take interest in attending lectures, seminars conferences
and many more (Collins,2021). On the other side, these are necessary in practical cases. The
seminars and conferences are a part of group meeting in which decisions are formed and
standards are set. Discussion methods and role playing are a part of this activity. It involves
trainings through computers, technology and other interesting methods.
There are some of the methods which needs to be taken into consideration by the Nissan
corporation which are described below:
Role plays: The Nissan corporation needs to involve role play activities. It will make
interaction among employees, create communication and good interpersonal relations. Therefore,
the company needs to undertake this practice for better attracting and retaining talent.
Case studies: This practice involve training and recruitment process through case study
methods (Macke, and Genari, 2019). It provides real world examples from other organisation.
This will give insight about what happening in the world and how competition could hit the
Nissan corporation. Case studies will help in meeting with the real cases that provide effective
continuous development of employees as well as managers.
