Reasons why vacancies become available at House of Fraser At House of Frazier give a good working environment for their employees. Currently employed 5,000 HOF employees’ staff and 13,000 concession staff. However it occurs that employees leave for reasons such as * Maternity leave would require a temporary employee to cover the position of the women until the member of staff is available to work again. * If there was a long term illness and would require the person to leave work for a period of time, there will need to be a temporary worker appointed to cover for the worker until the member of staff is able to work again. * Termination in the contract...

...focused on how at P&G the focus has turned from being the innovators of new products to reformulating there products. The OB topic that I felt related to this article the most was the Decision-Making Approach because P&G is in a decision making time in the company. P&G are compromising between how they want to further there company and are choosing to improve their products rather than creating new ones. In decision-making approach companies choose alternatives that meet only their minimum criteria for success rather than seeking an optimal solution. The second article I read from Businessweek was The 8 Million Garage with a View. In this article I feel the OB topics that related to this article were scientific leadership and Human relations Approach. The reason I feel Scientific leadership is related to the article is because the people living in the house were mostly Harvard and MIT grads. They all worked together to create new products and programs which in my opinion shows Human Relations approach the mixture of different people living in the house and there different ideas led to innovations and new products. The third article I read was Barclays Gets a Quite Leader for a Change. This article had ethical choices because the old CEO was not making very good decisions for the company so they choose a more reserved and quite CEO even though he had no investment background. In todays age Companies must create a ethically healthy climate for there employees. By...

...Unit 12: Recruitment and Selection P1 – Identify how two organisations plan recruitment using internal and external sources Recruitment is the process of identifying when an organisation needs to hire a new employee. It is one of the key processes of any organisation. When the process is carried out hastily, it is fraught with dangers. But when it is carried out with skill, it can be one of the most important investments that an organisation can make. The top aim of recruitment is to select someone to be a part of the organisation team who can do the job that is needed to be filled to the required standard of performance. This can be done either internally or externally. Below is a simple flowchart of the recruitment and selection process Reasons for a Vacancy Naturally, the first step in the recruitment process is when a vacancy arises in an organisation. However, before that organisation can rush to fill in the position they would have to consider some points, like why this vacancy has arisen. The first example could be that the previous employee left to go work for a competitor business or it was due to them having problems within the organisation. So unless these problems are resolved, then the new candidate will likely be unhappy too. The second example can be that an organisation will have to recruit someone to cover their female staff if they take maternity leave. In the year 2009, mothers were entitled up to 52 weeks’ maternity leave (1). Employers will be having...

...Recruitment & Retention Case Study 1. Explain the steps you would take to research exactly how your compensation and benefits package is impacting your recruiting and retention. I think that first and foremost it would be necessary to find out what the competition is paying and what type of benefits they are offering. “Employers must be aware of how their reward system compares with those of others competing for workers in the same geographic areas and in the same industry…” (Henderson) I would conduct a survey to determine how Doiturself Home Improvement Supply Store’s compensation and benefits package compares to similar companies. Once it has been determined that a survey is needed, I would determine the scope of the survey. I would ask the following types of questions: a. In what divisions are we having the highest turnover? b. “Where is worker dissatisfaction centered?” (Henderson) c. “Where does it appear that market rates outweigh internal rate relationships?” (Henderson) d. “Where is market competition for particular skills or exotic talents most fierce?” (Henderson) Once the scope of the survey has been determined, it would be time to prepare for the survey. Part of the preparation would include development, implementation and analysis; classification of job or occupation; pay structure; identification of the labor market; influence of competing organizations, selection of respondents; cooperation of respondents; kinds of data to be...

...PHASE 5 IP – MANAGING EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE HRM315-1301B-09 Managing Employee Performance The company that I chose to do my project on is TacoBell. I choose this company since I work for them. I figured it would be easier to do a project on a company that I currently work for. I would be able to talk to the HR department, more importantly the head of the HR department, Sharon Smith. When I talked to her last week, she had been working for this company for 15 years. She told me that she started out as a Team Member, then made her way to the restaurant General Manager, then to the Regional Manager and finally to the head of the HR department. She told me that working at Taco Bell have been the best job she has ever had! She wishes she could have started out working here when she was 16. (She started when she was in her late 20s). There are many different jobs available at the Taco Bell Company. You could start at the bottom being a Team Member or if you are lucky, you could get into the main office in Irvine, California where you could be anything from the Finance Department to the Marketing Department of the company. The different positions I choose to do my research on are the Crew Member, Information Technology Department, and the Marketing Department. When I researched the Team Member position, this was the easiest one to find information about. I started as a Team Member. When I first got my position as a Team Member, I filled out the application on-line...

...CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1. BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY The goal of every business is to make profits for the owners. This looks to be an extremely effectiveness difficult task unless firms discover the different ways to improve on efficiency and of their operations. Recruitment is the process of generating a pool of capable candidates applying to an organisation for employment (Gold, 2007). Applicants with experience and qualifications most closely related to job specifications may eventually be selected. Organisations become concerned when the cost of a mistake in recruitment is high. According to Armstrong (2006) the aim is to obtain, at a minimum cost, the number of suitable and qualified candidates to satisfy the needs of the organisation. The organisation attracts candidates by means of identifying, evaluating and using the most appropriate sources of applicants. El-Kot and Leat’s (2008) observation is that recruitment begins with advertising existing vacancies As already mentioned, this can be done internally or externally. In this instance the researcher was interested in external sources and processes as organisations in the Province are currently experiencing an undersupply of suitable candidates. Company policies related to the employment of relatives may influence its recruitment efforts. Currently more and more companies implement anti-nepotism policies that prevent the employment of close relatives, especially relevant to placement of candidates in the same departments...

...Recruitment Strategy or Method | External or Internal | Appropriateness for Health Care | Referrals from current employees. Employee referral is an internal recruitment method employed by organization to identify potential candidates from their existing employees' social network. An employee referral scheme encourages a company's existing employees to select and recruit the suitable candidates from their social networks. As a reward, the employer typically pays the referring employee a referral bonus. Recruiting candidates using employee referral is widely acknowledged as being the most cost effective and efficient recruitment method to recruit candidates and as such, employers of all sizes, across all industries are trying to increase the volume of recruits through this channel. Some organizations offer incentives to their employees for successful referrals. Employee referrals can be an effective recruitment tool, because employees have a good sense of what it takes to be a successful worker and member of the organization. Employees can essentially be used as an organization’s personal headhunters because they are often well-connected to qualified talent through their professional association. Employees referrals can save the company in recruitment expenditures. According to "Employee Referrals – Your Go To Strategy For 2014 " (2014),” Advanced programs result in referrals reaching nearly 50% of all hires and they can receive as many as 8 referrals for each open job....
