Challenges faced by Morrisons while using talent management approaches.
According of the Tammy Erickson, 2018, Human resources departments have several
task to fulfils (Gardas and et.al,. 2019). There major task is to recruiting and retaining

employees in the organisation. There are several challenges which can be faced by Morrisons
company in while using talent management approaches and strategies. The biggest is higher
total compensation demands- employees in the organisation constantly feel pressure to provide
and behave well in the business organisation. Employees don't feel out to be hesitate in saying
something. But it is more important for employees to pay more as compared to overall job
satisfaction. This can creates difficult situation for human resource manager, who is responsible
for keeping employees satisfied while keeping cost low (Talent-Management Challenges,
2018). Then next challenges is to tightening talent market- at the time of 2000s manger could
easily found candidates for recruitment but now a days mangers could not finds a proper talents
for the company because sometimes candidates won't interested in working with that company
and sometimes employers don't feel right to have that candidate.
The next is to increase employee turnover- as human resource mangers are continuously
battling against a high employee turnover ratio. Morrisons company will pay about one- fifth of
the employees salary on recruitment process to find suitable replacement. This means that a
employee retention is much important for achievement of company goals and objectives. High
employee turnover quickly affect healthy bottom line. Next challenge faced by Morrisons is
lack of leadership- human resource manger main responsibility is to motivate a team and guide
them towards the organisation goals and objectives. Top executives are experiencing high level
of turnover. This may create a unique problems for R manager, this may lead to lack of
leadership in the organisation. To solve this problem, HR manager of Morrisons should should
talk to a leaders and develop a plan to execute and train employees or team. It is a tough task to
undertake but it is better for the company in future as these will helps them in achieving goals
and objectives. This topic is important by doing this research, investigator should be able to
learn about certain challenges faced by Morrisons company and increase their knowledge and
skills.
Research Approach or Methodology
Research refers to the activity which includes identification of things which a person
don't know in systematic way and methodology is the philosophical framework in which
research is conducted. In this part of research methodology, research methods are described,
their approaches and research design is mentioned. Also there is a research choice that helps in
conducting a research (Pandita and Ray, 2018). There are several ways of conducting a research
as it can be done by various methods and approaches. Investigator is going to use research
onion model which explains various stages of writing and helps in creating better and organized
research methodology. Research onions includes various stages. These are:
Research philosophies: Research philosophy is the choice which an investigator has chosen in
this research. This is a scientific based research which is based on pure numerical data and
information, algorithms etc. in this research interpretivism method is used by the investigator.
Because this method investigator makes use of knowledge and facts that are relative and
subjective. This method is appropriate for the researcher (Saddozai and et. al, 2017).
Research approaches: Research approaches are used in every research report. The methods
are primary and secondary methods. In this research report, investigator is conducting primary
and secondary methods both. As in this primary research is made through questionnaire survey
and secondary research is made through literature review. In literature review investigators has
gather information and data from books and referrals. In this researcher is using deductive
approach while conducting investigation. Because this will help him, in proper understanding of

research topic.
Research strategy: After research approaches are choose, researcher is use various methods to
collect and gather information from respondents, researcher is using exploratory approach to

information correctly from the respondents. Research strategy must include experimental
research, interviews, surveys and case studies etc. researcher in this research is using survey
and interviews from respondents.
Research method: In this investigator is choosing both qualitative research and quantitative
research method. In quantitative research, investigator is doing questionnaire survey from
among 30 respondents which means employees of the company. Then in qualitative research,
researcher is using literature review to collect an information and data. This will help him in
engaging with employees of the business organization (Thunnissen and Buttiens, 2017).
Primary research will helps in getting accurate information from numerical data and frequency.
Time horizons: Time horizon includes two methods. These are cross sectional and longitudinal
studies. Cross horizons is when the data is collected just ones, a month or a week. And in
longitudinal section researcher wants to earn a information at one or more time.

Ethical Issues

research. The investigator may face lack of financial resource and lack of accurate information.
There can be inappropriate information which is given from respondents and respondents
sometimes may ignore the attention towards the project. So this may result in misleading of
primary data (Wilcox, 2016). Primary data can bring accurate information but if there is
misleading of information and data then will be inaccuracy in the results received. For dealing
with these issues, investigator will personally talk to employees and make them fill
questionnaire. This will help him in receiving appropriate results for the research.
