 Assignment Brief and Guidance

Scenario

Two entrepreneurs launched Indian Street food takeaway SKVP in the suburb of London and within 4 years
have six takeaway high-street shops in London, Birmingham and Manchester with a plan to set up six more
in the next two years. They have recently started an industrial kitchen and are looking to hire a HR person to
manage the human resource function for a staff strength of fifty people working at different locations.
You have applied for the position as you match the criteria, and you are notified there are two tasks to
complete as part of their recruitment and selection process.

You have applied for the position as you match the criteria, and you are notified there are two tasks to
complete as part of their recruitment and selection process.

Activity 1

The first task requires you to produce a human resource management manual that will critically evaluate and
explain the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches to recruitment and selection supported by
specific examples. The email will assess how the functions of HRM provide talent and skills appropriate to
fulfil business objectives by explaining the purpose and the functions of HRM applicable to workforce
planning and resourcing an organisation.

The manual will also provide the CEO of SKVP with a deeper understanding of the benefits of human
resource management for both the employer and employee by conducting a critical evaluation and
assessment of different methods used in HRM practices by application within an organisational context,
using a range of specific examples.

To demonstrate your knowledge, the manual will contain a critical evaluation of employee relations, and the
application of HRM practices that inform and influence decision-making in an organisational context will be
included. This will support an evaluation of the key aspects of employee relations management and
employment legislation that affect HRM decision-making in an organisational context. You will analyse the
importance of employee relations in respect to influencing HRM decision- making and further identify the
key elements of employment legislation and the impact it has upon HRM decision- making.

Activity 2

The second task requires you to write an informal report that will provide a rationale for the application of
specific HRM practices in a work-related context. This will include an illustration of the application of
HRM practices in a work-related context, using specific examples.
