...As an executive’s assistant at a management consultants, I have been asked to compile a report identifying how two organisations plan recruitment using internal and external sources. Recruitment and selection are the processes that all businesses use to select the best candidates to recruit as new employees. The two organisations that I have been asked to analyse are Tesco, a British supermarket chain, and the National Health Service (NHS), a British organisation which provides free healthcare to everyone in the United Kingdom. Both organisations have a strong mission statement. A mission statement is a short summary of a business’s aims and objectives for the future. The NHS’s mission is to provide “High quality care for all, now and for future generations”. (http://www.england.nhs.uk/about/our-vision-and-purpose/ 07/10/2014) This is a summarised version of the full aims and objectives of the NHS, which ensures that they are committed to prioritising; * Satisfied patients * Motivated, positive NHS staff * Preventing people from dying prematurely * Enhancing quality of life for people with long term conditions * Helping people to recover from episodes of ill health or following injury * Ensuring that people have a positive experience of care * Treating and caring for people in a safe environment and protecting them from avoidable harm * Promoting equality and reducing inequalities in health...
