The workforce is the main key of any business organisation that help to achieve goals and
objectives with the help to employees. Without employees support an organisation can not
survive in market. It is selected by HR manager after taking interview of many applicants. HR

culture and achieve business's goals. Such as the HR manager of Jaguar make solid planning or
strategy that help to solve employee's problems and motivate them to complete the task.
Strategies are most useful within organisation that help to understand future needs and wants of
employees as well as workforce who are working in an industry (Collings, 2015).
Talent and talent management refers to the collection of required human capital for a
business entity that help to use the skills and experiences within business in order to increase the
production and profitability. Current labour market is the place where worker and employees
interact with each other for understanding the needs of customers. Such as the worker and
employees of Jaguar communicate with each other and understand the organisation's objects. The
HR manager of Jaguar hire best employees and workers that help to accept the new technology
and in order to produce new car model. It influences the talent management and workforce
planning such as-
1

Employee's wages: This is greatly affecting factor in labour market which influences the
business organisation like there are number of people who are doing same job but paid
differently that affect business goals. In other words, wages of employees affect the talent
management and workforce such as if organisation will not pay equally to all workers then there
is chances to create conflicts among worker and employers. In jaguar, the HR manager focuses
on worker wages and also pay for extra work within industry. It also help to hold the market and
understand what is needed to keep their workers happy (Crumpton, 2015).
Discrimination: In present scenario, this is running most that organisations are
discriminating among worker and employees that make feel them sad. If influence the talent
market such as if entity is creating discrimination among workforce then they will not work
perfectly and would think to switch the organisation. Jaguar treats its workers and employees
with respect and fairly that make feel them confident and help to take decision for retaining long
term.
Unions: This means group of workers who are working within business in order to
achieve particular goals and objectives. It influences talent management and workforce planning
such as if a group of union worker in Jaguar go on strike then organisation need to accept their
demands for completing the projects. It affects the business such as it manager should be follow
the union's demand that help to complete the project on time (Fogarassy, Szabo and Poor, 2017).
Demographic changes: This means if there is any changes arrived at market place then
organisation also need to accept the challenges that help to sustain in competitive market. Such
as Jaguar is manufacturer of sports car that focuses on demographical changes in order to
produce new model that influences customers. The main aim of this entity is to accept the new
technology and introduce from new product that help to increase the sale and brand image. It
influence workforce such as if employee do not accept the new technology then organisation will
not manufacture new product at marketplace.
Therefore, organisation should consider labour trend that help to know what workforce
wants and how to keep them happy. If workforce of business entity is happy that means
organisation can focus on goals and profits for expanding the business. Such as Jaguar is
multinational company that manufactures sports car and introduce from new product in order to
influence customer. It accept the new technology and make new car with the help to employees
(Kavanagh and Johnson, eds., 2017).

planning

help to understand the needs of employees who works within organisation. The HR is facing
different issues like role of human and social capital, rises in ethical awareness, incremental in
competitive intensity and globalisation, skills development that align with new technology in in a
firm. Jaguars follows different types of legislation while workforce planning:
Equal pay Act 1963: This means all company should pay equal wages to all employees
that help to motivate them. If business entity will pay different for same job then conflicts will
arise within industry and organisation has to pay losses. In Jaguar, HR manager follows this act
and pays equally that help to increase the motivation of employees. By doing such HR can focus
on human and capital issues that is used to increase the productivity with employees efforts.
Workmen compensation Act 1923: This act states that an industry should pay
compensation amount if any injury or accident happened with employees. This act help worker

cars with the help to employees and workers within entity and it uses new technology for
producing new product that help to solve issues which are arising with industry (Mohammed,
2016).

business organisation in order to provide health safety. The main aim of this act is to provide
heath and safety benefits to workers who are working within organisation. Such as Jaguar is
international company which follows health and safety act in order to attract employees and
provide them safety within industry.

among workers on the basis of their caste, religion, language, gender and culture that reduces

competition and more production that leads to high profitability by producing new products (Noe

of employees and workers. It follows workmen compensation, equal pay and health and safety
act that help to motivate them by receiving the amount of compensation. In Jaguar, there are
number of employees who are working and manufacturing new cars that help to attract
