and increments and achieve organizational goals (Palmer, 2005).

Helps in avoiding the shortage and surplus of employees- With the help of human

resource planning, organization can easily overcome the human resource surpluses and

anticipated demand of employees can be filled up through proper planning. It involves various

stages such as:

2.3 Comparing the recruitment and selection process in Marriott and Tesco

The recruitment and selection process varies from organization to organization. For the

purpose of comparing the recruitment and selection process of Marriott, Tesco has been

undertaken. Marriott International is a global leading company whose revenue is about $14

billion in year 2014. As this is a larger organization, they follow complex recruitment and

selection process which contains various stages which are as follows:-

First of all, they identify vacancy and evaluate needs.

Then create Job Description and Job Specification.

Then vacancy announcement is done through online job portals and employment

newspapers (Nkomo, Fottler and McAfee, 2010).

After the vacancies are announced, scrutiny of applications is done on the basis of job

specification.

Then preliminary interview is done and select those candidates whose profiles are

matched with the job.

Then employment test is conducted if necessary to evaluate better candidates (Pulakos,

2009).

While, Tesco which is a retail organization follows a simple procedure which contains

following stages:-

First of all HR identify number of vacancies arises.

Then they advertise those vacancies in local newspaper.

After the applications are received then they scrutinized those applications based on

requirements. After then they invite applicants for an interview (Townley, 2014).

Then an interview is done based upon requirements.

Then final selection decision is taken.

2.4 Effectiveness of the recruitment and selection techniques in Marriott and Tesco

For evaluating the effectiveness of the processes of both the above mentioned company, it

is necessary to evaluate each and every process of recruitment and selection process. As it is seen

that Marriott has a more complex process as it contains many steps. That's why it takes much

time and effort in recruitment and selection process. But it has the capability to choose the best

candidate among all. Sometimes they reject those candidates who lack in some skills but are

more capable to do the job. It is all because Marriott being in an international brand of best

hospitality service provider and thus they need to maintain their standard by employing skilled

candidates so that best services can be rendered to guests (Harter and Schmidt, 2002). But in

Tesco, recruitment and selection process is far more simple. It takes less time and effort in

selecting the candidates. Because of simple process, they sometimes lack in selecting the best

candidate and doesn't even judge the required skills for the job. Sometimes because of delay in

selection process, company have to incur heavy losses and even sometimes lose the best

candidate. Following are the different ways of evaluating the effectiveness of recruitment and

selection process which are as follows-

Metric- Such method is used in order to measure the effectiveness of hiring, recruiting and

retaining the employees within business. Following are the key metrics that can be used by the

HR of the firm-

Total number of applications received

through carrying out survey, focus group interview and collecting feedback from workers about

the process of selection (Strandberg, 2009). However, HR personnel is required to assess the

TASK 3

3.1 Assessing the link between motivational theory and reward

In an organization, motivation plays a crucial role. It helps in achieving organizational

goal by motivating the employees. The motivation is an internal drive to do any task. It is a

TOLL-FREE NO: +61 879057034 EMAIL: [email protected] NO: +61 424715655 WEBSITE: https://www.assignmentprime.com

Page 13: Sample Assignment on Human Resource Management

reason for which any person act or behave in a particular manner. There are various motivational

theory which says that every human being wants to fulfil their needs, if their current need is

fulfilled then they switch to another need (Walters, 2009). These needs works as a motivational

drive. Various motivational theories are:-

Maslow's Hierarchy Need Theory

Herzberg's Two Factor Theory

Alderfer's ERG Theory

Goal Setting Theory

Self-determination Theory

Reward is something that a person can get in lieu of their work. Reward can be positive

or negative. Positive reward motivate employees while negative reward creates discontentment.

Reward plays an important role in motivating the employees which helps in achieving

organizational goal. Reward can be monetary and non-monetary. Some employees are motivated

by monetary rewards such as incentive, bonus, etc. while some are motivated by non-monetary

rewards such as recognition, promotion, etc (Davenport, 2013). It can be assessed that the

motivational theory is linked with the reward system so that morale of employees can be raised

to work effectively and accomplish goals. Each and every organization is required to adopt best

reward system within firm to motivate employees and thus improve their performance as well.

For improving the workforce motivation, there are several things which are necessary:-

Identify the psychology of employees to know their motivational factor (Delahaye,

2015).

All employees does not have the same motivational drive, so motivate them according to

their needs.

Employee can be motivated by building satisfaction.

Proper training helps in motivating the employees (Guest, Paauwe and Wright, 2012).

3.2 Process of job evaluation and other factors determining pay

Job evaluation is a systematic process through which comparison is done between

different jobs in order to identify the worth of the job in a job hierarchy. The main objective of

TOLL-FREE NO: +61 879057034 EMAIL: [email protected] NO: +61 424715655 WEBSITE: https://www.assignmentprime.com

ASSIGNMENT HELP & WRITING SERVICE AUSTRALIA

Page 14: Sample Assignment on Human Resource Management

job evaluation is to identify the more paid job than others. It includes job grading, job ranking,

etc. to identify the job's worth. Marriott management undertakes job evaluation process at the

beginning and thus direct their workforce to carry out the desired tasks in an effective manner.

All the identified methods of job evaluation helps in deciding a rational pay structure for same

level of workers so that satisfaction can be attained (Jackson, 2002). Ranking method is the best

way that can be adopted by Marriott hotel which helps in performing the job evaluation through

using ranking method and thus analyse the performance of workforce. With the assistance of

such method, it helps business to improve its knowledge regarding the working pattern of

workers and direct them to accomplish desired targets. However, business is required to

determine the skills of employees and then allocate them the work accordingly so that

productivity can be improved (Kaufman, 2010). The importance of job evaluation are as

follows:-

Job evaluation helps in deciding the position of the job in the job hierarchy.

It helps in effective staffing by identifying the number of personnel required in a

department.

It helps in determining pay scale of the employees in accordance with the worth of the

job (Zairi, 2012).

It helps in reducing inequalities in salary structure.

It also helps in selecting the best suitable candidate for the job.

It helps in maintaining cordial relationship between employees and manager (Monk and

Wagner, 2012).

3.3 The effectiveness of reward systems in different contexts

In any organisation, pay is not only the appropriate method of reward system because

sometimes, employees are motivated by non-monetary rewards. Some employees want

recognition and good status in their life while others wants incentives and bonuses. Different

people have different wants and needs. Even non-monetary reward is better than monetary

rewards because value of monetary reward may finish after sometime but non-monetary reward

is even long lasting with the employee (Nuttin, 2014).

There are basically two types of reward system:-TOLL-FREE NO: +61 879057034 EMAIL: [email protected] NO: +61 424715655 WEBSITE: https://www.assignmentprime.com

ASSIGNMENT HELP & WRITING SERVICE AUSTRALIA

Page 15: Sample Assignment on Human Resource Management

Monetary Reward – It is related with the money such as incentives, bonuses, etc. For

instance, here HR professionals play crucial role in determining the efficiency of

employees and thus provide them monetary rewards so that their morale can be enhanced.

It involves bonuses, incentives etc. that helps in satisfying the needs of workers and

encourage them to work hard and improve the productivity (Hafeez and Aburawi, 2013).

Non-monetary Reward – It is related with the prestige such as promotion, recognition,

etc. Management of Marriott undertakes such method as it helps in improving the overall

performance of workers. HR provides promotion, recognition to workers based on their

work and thus maintain good relationship with each other to carry out the work

efficiently (Huemann, Keegan and Turner, 2007).

In Marriott organization, non-monetary reward system is the best option because the

employees working in the organisation always try to upgrade their status. They are more

prestigious. While, in Tesco, reward system should be based on the situation. At some moment,

monetary is the best way while at the other non-monetary is the best option (Palmer, 2005).

3.4 Examining the methods organizations use to monitor employee performance

Organization basically follow simple performance rating structure in which manager is

undertaking the performance review of each employee. But it is not the appropriate method of

performance judgement. Performance can be better judged by using performance appraisal

method. Performance appraisal is a systematic method by which employee's performance is

documented and evaluated (Lamond and Zheng, 2010). It helps in career development of

employees and identifying the strength and weaknesses of employee. It also helps in identifying

the training need of an employee. Manager can judge their employee's performance based on the

following parameters:-

Quality of work

Quantity of work

Job knowledge

Degree of supervision requires

Attitude during work

Page 16: Sample Assignment on Human Resource Management

Target completion

Attendance and punctuality

These above parameters better help in identifying the performance of employees. These

parameters also helps in identifying the training and developmental needs of the employees.

However, it is essential for Marriott to effectively measure and monitor the performance of their

workers so that they can perform the task effectively and provide best results to the firm in the

form of high sales and profitability (Monk and Wagner, 2012). HR department is required to

anticipate the required performance of workers and then compare it with actual performance so

that desired outputs can be attained. Marriott adopts performance appraisal system that helps in

identifying the accurate and efficient performance measurement and build employee potential in

order to deliver best services to consumers. Workers of hotel are required to set SMART goals so

that it can be attain timely and appropriately. Thus, monitoring and measuring the performance

of individual helps in identifying the development needs of workers (Vidaver-Cohen, 2001).

TASK 4

4.1 Reasons for cessation of employment within business

It can be evaluated that there are different causes of termination of employment within

Marriott such as dissatisfaction from the working environment, inefficient pay structure, health

factors etc. All these considered as the reasons for cessation of employment. Because of such

issues business faces challenges in order to hire new skilled employees, providing training to

them etc. requires huge cost and expenditure (Millmore, 2007). However, workers are also

affected if they are not getting proper recognition, inadequate payment and status as required

from the job, at that time they exit from the job. Furthermore, management is not having good

relationship with employees and does not treat them equally is also one of the main reason of

leaving the job. Cessation of employment refers to the end of the employment of an employee. It

occurs due to various reasons:-

Job dissatisfaction

Retirement of an employee

Unhealthy work environment

Page 17: Sample Assignment on Human Resource Management

Inadequate Job performance

Business condition

Unacceptable behaviour

Absenteeism

There are following ways through which employee turnover can be reduce :-

Right job should be allotted to the right person.

Solve the problems or issues of the employee.

Providing healthy work environment to the employees (Nankervis, Compton and Baird,

2008).

Providing opportunity for career growth and development.

Providing proper training to the employees.

Employees should be involved in decision making process.

Duties and responsibilities should be defined clearly during employment (Pulakos, 2009).

Pay according to the work.

Friendly work environment should be provided, in which communication should be done

openly.

4.2 Employment exit procedures used by Marriott and Tesco

In Marriott hotel, exit procedures contains exit interview and retaining strategy. They take

interview of the employee who is leaving the organisation just to find out the reason for their

cessation. And trying to solve their problem and retain them in their organization. They provide

various benefits to these employees for retaining them. But at the same time within Tesco, there

is a simple exit procedure which contain only a resignation letter. They don't even try to retain

those employees and trying to find out their problem. It is because they find skilled employees

easily (Townley, 2014). Also, there is no formal meeting conducting by the employer with the

employees within Tesco at the time of leaving the job and thus final settlement is done.

Exit interview is the interview which is conducted at the time of leaving the organisation.

This interview plays a significant role in identifying the problem faced by the employee. It also

helps in identifying the main reason of employee turnover and in future they try to remove thoseTOLL-FREE NO: +61 879057034 EMAIL: [email protected] NO: +61 424715655 WEBSITE: https://www.assignmentprime.com

Page 18: Sample Assignment on Human Resource Management

problems. It also helps in retaining the talent in the organisation by providing some benefits to

them (Topolosky, 2014). There are different reasons that affects the workers to exit the job. For

instance, workers are not getting required recognition in regard of their work done and

inadequate payment scales affects the satisfaction level of workers. It is one of the major reason

of employees leaving the job. Further, management is also not able to provide best training and

development to their workers that influences the employees and thus they leave the job.

4.3 The impact of the legal and regulatory framework on employment cessation
