Section Three: Literature sources searched
Use of key literature sources to support your research question, objective or hypothesis:
Concept of talent management in context to business
As per the opinion of Westfall (2019) it has been stated that human resource is a vital asset
for an organisation for achieving their business objectives. In the dynamic business
environment, organisations are struggling to hire the right talent because this gives rise to a
new component into the human resource department. In regards to this, talent management is
a human resource strategical constant process that involves attracting and retaining high-
quality employees, motivating them continuously for their growth and development. The
primary objectives behind the talent management process to develop a highly motivated

workforce, whoever will be available in the company for a longer duration of time. Many
studies have argued that Talent Management is a prior set of the HR Process, hence, Talent
Management is fully owned by the HR Department. Talent management is an important duty
of the HR department manager because this helps the organisation for the development of the
employee's performance and reduce employee turnover cost. Talent management process
began with the identification of the vacant talent gap, evaluating the performance within the
given standard parameters, training the needed skills, and developing the expertise and retain
them for a longer duration (Bradley, 2016). An organisation is committed to employee
growth and development enjoys a low attrition rate. A highly motivated workforce work with
more efficiency and effectiveness, hence productivity will be increased. This will far a
competitive edge for an organisation to have a bunch of creative talent in the workforce.
Hence Talent management will enhance the organisation to be raised as the brand employer,
this will attract the best right talent for Future hiring too.
Different talent management strategies and their importance in making the ALDI business
successful.
According to the views of Ghosh, 2021, talent management refers to the method of organising,
strategic process of getting the right talent on board and also helps them to grow with their
capabilities and abilities by keeping organisational objectives in mind. There are various
strategies of talent management that are detailed job descriptions- this strategy helps the
candidate in understanding the job better. In context of ALDI, it also focuses on the candidates
who are eager to know about the job better. Information that is to be included in the job
description that are job title and location of the company, then overall duties, then skills which
are to be required by the candidates for get the suitable job, then reporting lines, tools and
equipment’s used and last will be salary benefits to be mentioned in the job description.
Second strategies will be person organisation fit- in this if a person who is not happy with the
job is doing, then he will not be work effectively. ALDI organisations focuses on the person
behaviours and keeps on searching that whether any employee is suffering from any issue or
problems or not. And if they found any problem facing by them then they start working on the
improvement of that. This increase the productivity of employees and they work more
effectively in the organisation. Next strategy is opportunity for continuous improvement-
company helps the employees in improving their issues and problems (Thunnissen, 2016).

This helps the company in increasing their potential and productivity both. These strategies are
important part of any organisation because they help the company in retaining new talents and
improving the effectiveness of employee. This overall results in increasing the profitability of
business (Khilji and Schuler, 2017).
To determine the various challenges faced through ALDI organization in managing talent at
workplace.
According to the viewpoint of Erickson (2021), the challenges faced by the ALDI
organisation is Poor hiring strategies- As company uses various methods to recruit the
candidates to fill the vacant positions but sometimes there can be poor hiring with the
managers of the company. Without strong staffing management plan, sometimes company can
face difficulty in identifying new talents for the organisation. Next is Inexperience with
technology, as company uses automation for streamlining and simplifying its operations. But
sometimes technologies which are used in the company are inexperience ad they need to make
use of applicant tracking system, payroll and accounting software. Make use of those software
can save the employees and organisation time and effort. Next challenge that can be faced by
the company is ineffective leadership- company managers and leaders needs to develop the
talents of employees. As managers and leaders are the one who can guide and provide
direction to the employees or workers. So they need to be come together and also keep
employees together. They should provide regular training and development methods to them.
Without strong leaders, there would be no one to carry out talent management (Van Zyl,
Mathafena and Ras, 2017).
Various measures ALDI adopted to overcome from the challenges faced by company
regarding talent management
As per viewpoint of KOLKEA (2016) It has been stated that talent management helps in hiring
the talented staff members at workplace and sustain them for longer time period. Determining
ways to overcome from talent management issues helps the company in attracting more
people, retain them and enhancing organisational productivity (Claus, 2019). There are
different measures given below which adopted by ALDI to overcome from the challenges
related to talent management:
Develop smart recruitment strategies- The major role of human resource is to find better

candidates for customers. They can be affording to spend time in order to sourcing candidate
to enhance organizational performance. There is a need to ALDI to following the better hiring
practices to attracting the more talent and also convincing them to be work for the client
(Collings, Mellahi and Cascio, 2017).
Reduce employee turnover- The employee turnover mainly begins with hire the better
candidate for an organisation. In ALDI company, HR is trained to be source better candidate
who can able to focus on attaining set objectives. Minimizing the employee turnover begins
with putting the effort and give time in hiring process (Krishnan and Scullion, 2017).
Experience with technology- Majority of the recruiters use the applicant tracking software. If
they use the technology on regular basis in hiring process, this could speed up process. Instead
of wasting time on the resume screening, company can automate processes with the software
(Collings, Scullion and Caligiuri, 2018).

Section Five: Research approach and methodologies
What type of research approach and methodologies are you likely to use and why? What
your areas of research will cover:
Research onion was developed by Saunders et. al. 2007 and it illustrates stages consists in development
of research work. The layers in research onion provide detailed explanations of research process stages.
This gives better progression by which research methodology can be effectively designed (Collings,
Scullion and Vaiman, 2015). Different layers included in research onion mention below:
Research philosophy
It refers to the over- arching the term that related to knowledge development and nature of
knowledge. The pragmatism research is based on addressing the real life issues associated with
the topic. Other than this, interpretivism research philosophy is mainly used by an investigator
in interpret the study components (Khoreva, Vaiman and Van Zalk, 2017).
Justification: The pragmatism and interpretivism both research philosophy will be used. The reason
behind selecting pragmatism philosophy is that it helps in focusing on the real life problems in order to
make research more relatable and reliable. On the other hand, interpretivism philosophy will be using

because it is based on qualitative method and its focus on providing the meaningful information about
developing the effective talent management related strategies for enhancing retention of employees at
workplace (Deery and Jago, 2015).
Research approaches

subject area. Informing the decision should be on the philosophical assumption an investigator brings
to study. There are inductive and deductive are the different research approaches (Elegbe, 2016).
Justification: In this current investigation, deductive and inductive both research approaches
will be using. The reason behind use of deductive approach is that it states with proposition of
the hypothesis and also focus on providing the positive research outcomes about the aspect of
talent management (van Zyl, Mathafena and Ras, 2017). Other than this, reason to using the
inductive research is that it is related with providing new theoretical information and in- depth
analysis about the talent management in significant manner.
Research strategy
There will be survey used as research strategy. The main benefit of using survey is that it is time saving
and able to collect the more data regarding specific subject area. This is useful in explaining
characteristics of large population. It accurate sample to collect the targeted outcomes under which
positive conclusion is made (King, 2015).
Research choice
There are qualitative and quantitative two different research choices. It is necessary for an
investigator to use the effective research choice for getting positive outcomes.
Justification: In this particular researcher, researcher will be considering both qualitative and
quantitative research choices. Reason behind using the quantitative research choice is that, it provides
relevant facts and figures about talent management strategies. It is more objective as well as reliable in
nature. Other than this, the reason behind using the qualitative research method is that it provides the
detailed information about the strategies regarding the talent management. Thus, this approaches helps
the study in enhancing theoretical perspective related to the chosen subject area (McDonnell and et. al.,
2017).
Data collection methods
This is concerned with collection of the primary and secondary data collection methods. In the

primary method, information is collected for first time. Different sources to collect the primary
data are surveys, observation, interview and others (Khilji and Schuler, 2017). Other than this,
secondary method consists books, articles, internet sources etc.
Justification: There will be primary and secondary both data collection method using. The
reason to using primary method is that it is time saving and provide the authentic information

can be further analysed in order to gain reliable results. Secondary data is used in literature
review so that views of others authors can be taken into consideration, in order to gain
theoretical insight on research aims and objectives.
Sampling
It is related to collect the sample size by using the effective sampling method. Probabilistic and non-
probabilistic are two different sampling methods. In addition to that, an accumulation of primary and
secondary data will also be used in this research (Taylor, 2018).
Justification: For selection of respondents, random sampling method will be using. The
reason behind using this method is that it reduces biasness and provides the equal chance to
chosen respondents. 50 respondents will be selecting through this method and chosen
respondents are managers. The reason to select managers is that they are having understanding
about the capabilities and skills of staff members.
Time horizon

It is related to examining the time period for completion of research. There will be cross- sectional time
horizon used as this provides the proper time frame for completion of an investigation in significant
manner (Thunnissen and Gallardo-Gallardo, 2017).

Reflection
In current assignment, I am obliged to increase knowledge regarding completing
assignments related to research project by finishing overall task. I am also focusing on getting
opportunities in order to attempt research project that aids assistance in achieving knowledge
regarding talent administration. Therefore, there is diverse information useful when I am
focusing on completing research in an appropriate manner. In order to conduct research, I am
focusing on increasing understanding regarding talent administration technique that generates
huge effect on overall operations of organization. Dee to having superior communication skills
that helped me in interacting with other person in an appropriate manner in order to perform my
work in proper way during particular phase of time period. Thus, it is assessing that due to
possess superior communication skill; it helps me in interacting with other person in proper way
for completing project of research. I used the primary method to collect data, there has been
questionnaire and interview questions are developed to collect the information from chosen
respondents. The main reason behind using this method is that it provides the new and fresh
information about the chosen area. The primary method is time saving as well as cost saving as
comparison to the secondary method. Quantitative and qualitative questions about different
strategies for attracting and retaining talent at work were created. Quantitative questions are
closed ended, while qualitative questions are open ended. For analyze the collected data through
quantitative questionnaire, there has been thematic analysis method has been considered as in
this different themes, tables and graphs have been developed. For analyze qualitative questions,
content analysis method has been considered as this is effective in provide the proper description
about the specific subject area.
Alternative research methodology
In this study, positivism was used as the research philosophy, although interpretivism
may have been used as an alternate research philosophy because it has a more accurate view of
the subject area. In this study, the deductive analysis technique was used, although an alternate
approach, inductive research can be suggested since it is focused on observational methods
which provides general to detailed knowledge. This study used the quantitative method, but the
qualitative method could be used in the future to do analysis since it contains statistics and

figures on a particular subject. To gather data for this investigation, a survey testing considered.
Primary reason for using this strategy is that it saves time and allows to collect data from more
people. If the researchers are given another opportunity to conduct research, they can want to
conduct an interview as an alternate research technique. A primary method has been considered
in order to gather data because it generates fresh and also new information. As an alternative way
of gathering knowledge, a researcher may be used secondary method because it saves time by
gathering information from existing sources such as articles, newspapers, academics and others.
