Marks & Spencers' and Their Human Resource Management

Marks & Spencers' and Their Human Resource Management

In this piece of coursework I will be making contact with my chosen

business 'Marks & Spencers' and I am going to conduct an investigation

into the Human Resource Management within the business. I will be

finding out what the responsibilities are of Human Resource Management

in the business, why it is important and how it helps the everyday

running of the business.

I will be investigating the uses if labour market information and how

it relates to human resources, I will be investigating the recruitment

and selection process which is involved in Human Resources, how they

help with training, staff development and motivation.

Human Resources

===============

"Marks & Spencer is one of the UK's leading retailers of clothing,

foods, homeware and financial services, serving 10 million customers a

week in over 300 UK stores. The Company also trades in 30 countries

worldwide, and has a Group turnover in excess of £8 billion".

======================================================================

Marks and Spencers Human Resource Management would have to be very

efficient and resourceful so that all of their responsibilities are

carried out well and smoothly.

===================================================================

Human Resource Management is the management of the people within a

business, by recruiting, training and retaining employees with the

necessary skills and competencies to perform their jobs effectively.

H.R.M. in general is responsible for:

====================================================================

· Human Resource Planning (H.R.P) - this looks at how many employees

the business will need in the future, as well as the kind of employee

that will be needed (e.g. graduate trainees, skilled-manual and

supervisors). H.R.P. also ensures that the 'right' employee is in the

'right' job, to ensure the most efficiency and success of the

employees. As Marks and Spencers is quite a large company there will

be lots of staff turnover and new recruits quite often.

· Recruitment and selection of new employees - The recruitment and

selection procedure starts when the business realises that there is a

job, which needs to be filled.
