What is Human Resource Management?
HRM is the management of the people who work in an organisation.
Personnel Management as it was known previously dealt with welfare
roles such administering the pay system, holidays and pension scheme,
running the employees' medical service and organising social and
sports facilities.
Nowadays the job of managig people is regarded as being more
complicated and wheras the personnel manager's main concern was
centred on how to look after the employees and keep them as satisfied
as possible. What you find these days is that there is much more
involvement in how to get the most value out of employees for the
benefits of the organistion. This means that human resource managers
now work much more closely with other managers in production,
marketing and finance areas.
Who are Boots?
Boots Plc. is the company I will look at in my assignment. I will get
an insight of how Boots recruit, retain and manage one of their key

Human Resource Planning
=======================
What is Human Resource Planning?
Human Resource Planning (HRP) is the process of forecasting the
workforce requirements of the business for future years. It looks at
how many employees the business will require in the future, as well as
the type of employee that will be required (e.g. graduate trainees,
skilled-manual and supervisors). HRP also ensures that the 'right'
employee is in the 'right' job, to ensure maximum efficency and
effectiveness of the workforce.

Human Resource Management (HRM) is the administration and control of employees. Its purpose is to ensure that the workers and the employer cultivate a valuable relationship. As a result, the company will record an exceptional performance particularly with regard to employee productivity (Paauwe, 2004). Further, the workers will benefit in terms of job satisfaction and self-development (Paauwe, 2004). Some of the activities involved in managing workers include selection and recruitment, training, development, motivation, and appraisal (Sharma, 2009). This paper aims to analyse the role of human resource management in organisations and its linkage to the wider organizational strategy using Tesco and Harrods as illustrations.

Jeff Steele is the Vice President of Purchasing, Kevin Hobbs is the Finance and CFO, David Elliot is the Vice President of Operations and he is over all of the plant managers at each facility. Christy Williams is the Director of Human Resources and over the Corporate Human Resources staff (C. Williams, personal communication, August 17, 2015).

I am in Human Resources so Christy Williams plays a big part on the performance of my department.
The objective of this report is to give guidance to the managers at Next Plc on the importance of employability and personal skills when Next PLC recruits staff and how this impacts on the retention of staff.
The topic under review is strategic alliances. This particular form of non-equity alliance between firms in the same industry (competitors) is becoming an increasingly popular way of conducting business in the global environment. Many different reasons of why such alliances are occurring have been recognized. These include: the increasing globalization of the world's economy resulting in intensified global competition, the proliferation and disbursement of technology, and the shortening of product life-cycles. This critique will use Kenichi Ohmae's viewpoint on strategic alliances as a benchmark for comparison. Firstly, a summary of Ohmae's article will be provided. Secondly, in order to critique Ohmae's opinion, it will be necessary to review other literature on the topic. Thirdly, a discussion of the various viewpoints and studies, that have hence arisen, will be discussed in detail. Finally, conclusions will be drawn with implications for companies operating in today's global environment, together with suggestions for future research on strategic alliances.
Armstrong ( 2010) defined Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) as “an approach to making decisions on the intentions and plans of the organisation in the shape of the policies, programmes and practices concerning the employment relationship, resourcing, learning and development, performance management , rewards and employee relationships,” ( p. 115). There is a paradigm shift from a functional role to a tactical one through the strategic management process. SHRM is very important to the effectiveness of my learning organisation because it ensures that the needs of the learning community are met and provides the opportunity for instructional leaders to “add value to the learning community” (Introduction to Human Resource Management, 2012, p.6) while achieving the goals and objectives of the institution.
In the last decades, small national companies have grown in amazing scale all around the world. Companies that once were family owned have become huge multinational corporations. Corporations, which by the side of globalization, have expanded all around the world. International business has become one of the most important areas of business due to the need for companies to expand to markets outside their borders. Companies have had the need to adapt to another cultures and business systems. At the same time the way human resource management works has changed. Multinational corporations have had to adapt to new human resource requirements in order to be more effective and efficient. The business melting pot that surged in the last decades has forced corporations to develop a diverse workforce with the ability to expand their businesses.

Their marketing strategy is to cover all the people in order to stand in the marketing field within their competitors. The mission is to “put the patient at the heart of everything we do and so to become the provider of choice both for our pharmacist customers and manufacturer partners.” This helps them to persist in the marketing field forever with their new trends.
