Recruitment and Selection
Recruitment is the process you go through for hiring a member of staff that you
need to cover the skills gap you need. Selection is when you complete certain
steps in finding the right candidate for the job and you select the right one. The
main reasons why companies recruit is to cover a skills shortage that they
require in their business or if someone is leaving to go and work for another
organisation, therefore the position needs to be filled.
Tesco
Tesco is an extremely successful supermarket. They are the longest chain of of
supermarkets in the UK. They sell a variety of different products such as; food,
clothing, furniture etc.
Workforce Planning
This is when the future of a business gets analysed in terms of people. As Tesco
is such a large business, this is crucial because otherwise their could be
consequences that are bad for the business. Within Tesco, recruitment
constantly needs to be done because there are plenty of roles to be taken.
There are multiple stores within the UK and internationally, with a load of job
vacancies in them. Employees may leave the business for any reasons, or
people may move roles which will make space for vacancies. Tesco frequently
use a workforce plan in order to estimate the number of employees they need
to recruit, including managerial and non-managerial positions.
The Planning Process
This is when Tesco carry out yearly planning. There are also quarterly reviews
that take place in May, August and November. This is to ensure Tesco have
enough time to prepare and meet the demands for new staff and it allows
Tesco to meet their strategic objectives e.g. open new stores, maintain
customer service standards. Tesco seek to fill all the vacancies they can within
the business, because it is important to motivate staff to progress their
careers. Tesco carry out something called 'talent planning' which encourages
people to work their way up the business, to get a better role.
