UNIT 13 : Recruitment and selection (P1) In this report I will be explaining how organisations plan recruitment using internal and external sources. I will be relating my work to two organisations, Tesco (Market Leaders) and ASDA (Competition). Vacancies occur due to lack of staff; this may be because of reasons stated below: * maternity leave * promotion * changing jobs * paternity leave * retirement * etc Other reasons may include a business expanding and needing more staff to cope with demand. For example, a new Tesco Express being opened, this will mean more staff will have to be hired to run the new store. A competitor for Tesco such as ASDA may also be expanding and opening new stores in the fight for market leadership.
Lastly, running full time with too many employees while the center is slow. Steps (1-3) 1 Identify and diagnosing the problem- The problem is they have slow times Monday through Friday mornings, and Thursday through Sunday afternoon. If they don’t fix their operation times there expenses are going to rise. 2 Generating alternative solutions- they should change operation times, and try not the business 24 hours every day. They could open late instead of mornings and get rid of slow peak mornings.
Lastly, increased inventory requires more space. We will need to make several minor adjustments to the inventory area to accommodate the new products. There are also risks in not adding the two products to our inventory. As a home-based business, we see start-ups and “copycats” at times. If a new business opens and has one or both of these products in stock, we would likely lose potential customers.
New technology also changes work patterns in Pyrmont. When new technology becomes available, many lose their jobs, because manual labour is no longer necessary and jobs are completed more efficiently using machinery or computers, this changes the types of jobs available With less manual labour, employers will be looking for workers who are able to service or operate the machinery, or
What specific strategies would you recommend, and how would you promote them at Premier? I think that the primary issue with work/life balance at Premier Publishing is the ability to have a more flexible work schedule and to work from home. Every former Cybooks employee that we have heard from has had the same concern. This gives them a negative image of Premier because they think that the company does not trust its employees. Premier needs to realize that by moving into the technology segment, they are acquiring a new breed of employees, how crave the ability to have creative freedom, which means that they need to be able to work at the times that are most suitable for them.
Melissa Day HRM 587 Professor Stone Week 2 Images of Change November 8, 2013 Change frequently occurs in a company. That change can manifest itself in a change in leadership-like a new CEO, downsizing due to structural reordering, or acquiring new companies to improve business output and diversifying ones product line. From an employee (and for some members of management) standpoint change can cause fear and stress, because change shakes people from where they were comfortable and it asks them to do something different, something they may be uncomfortable with-however, the only constant in life (both personal and professional) is change. For my project, I have selected two companies that have undergone changes throughout the past year:
The USPS has many important needs for the economy and record keeping of this nation. Therefore it is very necessary that it restructures itself to keep up with constant change in society. As the USPS is right now, it will fail to advance any further. People have no interest in sending paper mail when email is much faster.
onsumers by increasing the price of products sold to make up for the products lost. Increased prices may now cause consumers to travel and go elsewhere to purchase comparable items at a cheaper rate. Honest shoppers now fall into the same mistrust category as shoplifters because they cannot be distinguished easily from one another by the retailer. If a store has to close down because they can’t make any money then that cuts jobs. One store may not seem like a big difference, but when stores are closing every day because they can't maintain a stable business because of shoplifters it changes a lot for families everywhere.
The economy is making people turn into crime to get money. A lot of the crimes are taking place because of the economy a lot of people are getting laid off and do not know what to do to provide for themselves and as well as for their family. As the economy gets worse and worse there are more inmate population. When an inmate arrives they are provide with everything and in someone else expense. The community with their taxes they pay it provides them with everything.
There are so many answers to this question (i.e. take on another job, Go to or go back to college, or seek public assistances etc.) all that is an excellent answer, but it is hard to do, especially if a single parent cannot be there for their kid(s) if they take on another job(s) they will spend all their time at work to support their kid(s); or some people cannot go to or back to college because their multiple job requires them to work long hours and if they seek help from the government it is so much they can do considering the economy crisis. That is why it is important to increase the minimum wages so they won’t sacrifice their time with time away from their family and could enroll in or go back to school/college to earn their GED or degree so they could have better paying job. With the increased of pay, low and middle classes don’t have to worry to make any sacrificing the essentials that they or their family need; According to Time for a Raise, “If the minimum wage was increased to a level at which families could sustain themselves, fewer people may end up needing government assistance for housing, food, or health care.
