TOPIC: “How do multinational companies improve the recruitment, selection and training
of their employees to meet International requirements”?
INTRODUCTION
Recruitment is an chain of activities that conducting after identifying organisational need
to give employ an individual by application forms that arrived in an organisation for a particular
designation. Selection consist of various process involved in which to choose right kind of
applicant that suitable for a particular designation. Then training refers to kinds of processes to
make sure that individual have potential skills, knowledge and capabilities to reach at desirable
outcomes within an organisation (Bartlett, Doz and Hedlund, 2013.). These all are major
Human resources activities and the major concern over here that ways by which multinational
organisations can improve these processes by meet requirement of international standards. This
report is based on Nestle which is an Swiss multinational food and drink providers and its
headquarter is in Switzerland. It is one of the largest food provider in whole world in context of
revenue since 2014. this research project is based on how an organisation can be enhance of key
Human resource activities in which recruitment, selection and training with development as per
the international standards.
TASK 1
P1 Project aim and objectives.
For an organisation it is very important to select best and competent staff members that
can give their full potential (Basu, 2017. ). For that organisation uses various kinds of methods
and techniques that helps to attain competent staff members and after selecting candidates
organisation have to give proper training and development so that they can understand work
behaviour. With help of skilled workforce organisation can be able to operate at global level so
in that case importance of recruitment, selection and training enhances in positive way. To
remain always competitive as Nestle is an multinational brand name as human resource is one of
most precious assets for an
Research Aim:
“To analyse various ways through which multinational companies can improve
recruitment, selection and training of their employees in order to meet international
requirements”. - A case study on Nestle.

Research Objectives:
 To analyse requirement of implementing changes in Recruitment, selection and training
methods in an organisation.
 To identify Tools and techniques by which organisation can amend in their present way
of recruitment, selection and training with development.
Research Questions:
 What are the requirement of implementing changes in Recruitment, selection and training
methods in an organisation.
 What can be the Tools and techniques by which organisation can amend in their present
way of recruitment, selection and training with development.
P2 Project Management Plans.
Project management plan is an written document that used to describe every step or
phrase of a project (Doherty, Ashurst and Peppard, 2012.). In project management plan
encompasses initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and closing. That research project based
on importance of human resource activities and need to bring modification with motive of
meeting global standards. To examine that concern in better way Nestle have to determine their
scope, cost, risk factor, communication channel, resources and many more that helps in taking
important decisions at appropriate time.
Project Topic: “To adopt various methods for selecting best and competent staff members that
can be able to meet international standards”?
Project aim and objectives: The aim of research project is “To adopt various methods for
selecting best and competent staff members that can be able to meet international standards”- A
case study on Nestle. Similarly, objectives of project are:
 To analyse requirement of implementing changes in Recruitment, selection and training
methods in an organisation.
 To identify Tools and techniques by which organisation can amend in their present way
of recruitment, selection and training with development.
Scope: This research project is based on evaluating the ways by which organisation can select
and retain most competent staff members to remain always in leading position at world wide.

Nestle is an multinational brand name and serves simultaneously in many countries. In that
condition they require most competent staff that can be able to meet international standards. To
accomplish these objectives organisation have to reform in their existing ways and methods to
select and retain employees so that they can remain always competitive in fierce competitive
world. It plays very important role in context of Nestle because human resources is one of most
important part of an organisation that helps them to give delighted experience to consumers.
Communication: Communication is one of important attribute to accomplish a project in
successful manner. To retain best and competent staff members organisation have to adopt two
way communication method in which higher authority and subordinates can share potential
knowledge and information to right people at right time (Dutta and Bose, 2015.). In context of
Nestle to select best and competent staff members organisation have to communicate in their
internal organisational structure about what kind of skills and capabilities are require for an
organisation to meet international standards.
Resources: To reach at objectives and goals of an organisation various kinds of resources such
as tools and techniques, manpower and finance to operate at global level. Sharing of knowledge
and information to right person about potentiality require to operate at international level so that
major benefits should be occur and organisation can enlarge business opportunities.
Quality: Quality is one of major attributes to gain desirable outcomes. For an organisation
qualitative results helps in taking important decisions that ways and methods that helps in
selecting and retaining best and competitive staff members (Drucker, 2012. ). To measure
quality of results some standards should be set such as benchmarking and to reduce wastage
various techniques should be adopted. By adopting various practices that helps in evaluating
that results are positive and negative so that accordingly strategies should be framed.
Cost: Before conducting research organisation have to evaluate cost that associated with each
and every factor. By evaluating cost organisation can take important decisions that they are
capable to organise that kinds of research or not in proper way. To complete that project Nestle
have to bear 60K Euro by making whole investment of £80 million so for that they have to
accumulate resources from various sources to reap important benefits out of it.
Time: Time frame is an important attribute to accomplish goals and objectives at pre
determined time period. If organisation fail to attain desirable objectives at right time it create

harmful effects on their profitability and sustainability. To conduct research and get reliable
source of information occurs approximately 8 to 10 months and in gaining positive outcome
within 6 months.
Risk: Risk is an important factor that associated with every object that exist on earth. Before
conducting research and development it is very necessary to measure the risk factor so that
proper measures to get rid from existing risk in research. By adopting risk mitigation strategies
organisation can be able to get desirable outcomes without any harmful effects.
P3 Work Breakdown Structure and Gantt chart.
Work break down structure is a main project that organizes works of a team in different
manageable sections (Hillson, 2017.). WBS structure helps in dividing complex tasks or projects
into smaller and manageable way to understand in better way. Majorly project managers avail
that method to simplify the projects to execute in better way. It is not restricted to limited spheres
while apply it but applicable for any kinds of project in research.

Gantt chart:
Gantt chart is an horizontal bar chart that represents in visual form a project plan in
specific time period. In Gantt chart all tasks involved in a project with orders with a pre
determined time scale (Jeston, 2014.). It is used by everyone to get visualise their tasks in proper
way to plan long range projects or waterfall projects kinds of construction, military and
engineering and many more.

TASK 2
P4 Research Methodologies
Research Methodologies is considered as the plan for conducting research that involves
the following:
 Primary Research: This is considered as the kinds of research that performed
independently through people. It is the direct sources of research through which data are
accumulated from the clients (Larson and Gray, 2017). This types of the research is
performed by interviews, surveys and questionnaires. Moreover this is the time taking as
well as costly method but facilitate effective outcomes. Mostly this research is performed
in open and close minded that includes long interview procedures but the data that is
accumulated is relevant and precise as well. The advantage of this particular research is
that people can obtain instant outcomes from the clients.
 Secondary Research: This considered as the kinds of research that publish data
accumulated as well as arranged through others. It is performed by report as well as
descriptive analysis of business or government agencies. This particular research saves
time as well as not so costly but outcomes may not so much relevant as few or another
defects may be there. Moreover, the data collected may not be be so precise. This do not
have long process as well as facilitate advantage as information is generally accumulated
from books, websites, newspapers and so on. The data acquire from this particular
research do not provide effective outcomes as they has to wait for clients feedback and
also is type of theoretical sampling.
Thus, researcher have to consider the dat that is accumulated through primary research in
order to obtain accurate information through formulating questionnaire.
 Qualitative Research: This type of primary research that acquire information open
mindedly from participants. This is performed by group discussion, personal interview
and many more (Morris, 2013.). It acknowledge the behaviour of the individuals its
perception and thoughts. The analysis is performed in qualitative research may be
interpreted, subjective and non statistical. This particular examine the issues deeply as
well as facilitate solutions. The data accumulated into qualitative research are not so large
and are into respondents language.

 Quantitative Research: It is the research that is accumulated into numerical form as
well as transform statistical data. This generate outcomes through thoughts, perceptions,
behaviours of the human which is collected during survey. It is generally descriptive and
simple to acquire. Herein, researcher perform survey through telephonic interview, online
and many more. This is also considered as the type of objective research as well as
concentrate more upon outcomes.
After examining both the research, investigator have to considered qualitative method for
accumulation of information through examining all aspects in order to obtain relevant outcomes.
 Sampling: This is considered as the number of surveys which is performed at larger scale
as well as is one factors that are helpful in research. This aids in ascertaining the
outcomes of research which is performed (Nicholas and Steyn, 2017. ). This is simple to
examine but in case any kinds of errors are identified into surveys may impact the whole
outcomes. The benefits of sampling is that, it is not so expensive as well as accumulate
information quickly in comparison to another techniques of research. The investigator
have utilise random sampling method in which sample size is 15.
 Questionnaire: This is considered as the instrument which contain several questions for
accumulating information from various participants.
