1. INTRODUCTION
Recruitment and Hiring is perhaps the most popular role associated with human
resource managers. It involves finding, reviewing credentials, screening, and selecting
candidates for a company. An effective recruitment process results in the hiring of
employees who are tailor-fit for the position and not just candidates who have the best
credentials.
Employee referrals

company
Even with the most experienced candidate, joining a new company requires training.
The purpose of employee training is to equip them with the necessary skills and
knowledge to perform their role effectively. Employers must be prepared to commit a
significant amount of investment in their employee's training. This is not only
beneficial for the company but also helps in the employee's self-development.
The quality of training provided goes a long way in retaining employees. When
employees feel that they can grow, they are more likely to stay in their jobs. The
opportunity for employees to enhance their skills improves overall satisfaction and
morale.
Human resources play a critical role in managing the workplace environment. They
are the first responders for any workplace-related issues among employees. Effective
communication makes it easier for employees to work for a single objective, the
company's success. It is the role of the human resource department to promote better
communication among individuals in the company.
9
lOMoARcPSD|159 149 33
More than just hiring new employees, HR managers are also involved in managerial
and operational responsibilities. To be an effective human resource managers, they
must also perform leadership roles in the ongoing training of employees and maintain
a solid understanding of the company’s brand and objectives. A good HR strategy also
employs manpower planning, hiring, and promotion as part of their managerial and
operational responsibilities.
The human resource manager should be able to function as an advisor to the different
departments on matters related to human resources. This includes working with the
department head in formulating policies and procedures.
First and foremost, HR managers must give expert advice on how to create stronger
employee relationship and morale.
Human resource strategies also include aligning human resources to current and
projected needs. This is to maintain the company's competitive advantage and enable it
to respond more quickly to changing customer needs.
This is only possible when management is able to communicate its objectives with
employees effectively. Human resource management makes this possible by creating
an environment where team members can freely communicate thoughts and ideas,
especially during periods of change.
10
lOMoARcPSD|159 149 33
successful delivery of the business strategy. Here are the best roles of human resource
management in Businesses:
The human resource manager must lead efforts toward organization development.
They play a significant role in developing a workplace culture that improves
productivity and customer service. Human resource professionals are involved in
developing the skill of managers and organizations. This has led to the creation of
even more roles for HR managers, making them vital members of any company.
These are just some of the answers to the question of, what a human resource manager
does.
Human Resource Management is one of the critical departments for the business
because it focuses on the workforce. One of the most valuable assets of a company or
organization is its workforce. It is a living, breathing resource that needs to be
continuously managed to function effectively.
The human resource department goes beyond the hiring process. It plays a crucial role
in the day-to-day operations of a company. The importance of human resource
management can only be quantified by the success of an organization.
Productivity starts with having the right people for the right job. One of the critical
roles of human resource personnel is to seek and hire the best employees. This isn’t
just about hiring the people with the best academic background but identifying the
individual who possesses the right skill, knowledge, and attitude for the job.
Human resources departments are not only involved with recruiting and interviewing
candidates, but these professionals also employ an HR strategy that goes beyond
numbers such as years of experience, age, or test scores. They pick the perfect
candidate by first setting standards and selecting only those who fit the job
requirement.
11
lOMoARcPSD|159 149 33
However, to be able to select the best people, human resources departments must be
able to attract the best candidates. And this is where a professional HR manager comes
in. Aside from creating a job posting, they are also able to provide a hiring package
that includes attractive work benefits that are designed to lure motivated, productive
applicants.
Even after hiring the best candidates, the business still has to spend a considerable
amount of its resources training these new employees. Nobody hits the ground
running. New employees must spend time familiarizing themselves with the
company’s policies and work procedures to become productive members. Human
resource management does not end with the hiring process. It is also involved with
another essential task of retaining valuable members of the workforce.
The best companies attract the best people. With a strong brand, the task of hiring and
retaining the right people is half the job done. Human resource personnel is tasked
with keeping the workforce happy. Brands become recognizable not only because they
have the best product but also because they are the best places to work.
The task of human resource personnel includes maintaining and improving workforce
capabilities. This is something that can be delegated or automated. It requires a keen
insight into the company's business strategy and available resources.
12
lOMoARcPSD|159 149 33
After establishing the different objectives and plans, the next step is to organize the
various tasks to achieve them. The HR manager sets out to design and creates
programs to deliver on the designated objectives. This involves organizing activities,
assigning tasks, and coordinating all related activities.
This involves observing and comparing results with expected outcomes and correcting
any deviations. In this step, HR managers perform appraisals and examine records,
statistics, and audits.
13
lOMoARcPSD|159 149 33
Hiring new employees is one of the most crucial responsibilities of the human resource
department. This process usually involves:
Job Analysis – identifying current and projected job needs. This enables the
company to employ a hiring strategy that targets the necessary candidates to meet
these needs.
Recruitment – this is the hiring process in action. To attract the right candidate,
human resource managers may employ several mediums such as print media,
online job sites, referrals, or recruiting within the organization.
Placement – the stage in the procurement process where the selected candidate is
extended an offer.
On boarding – as the candidate accepts the offer and becomes a formal employee,
the HR staff then proceeds with orienting them with company policies and
benefits.
Transfers and Promotion – filling a position can be done by hiring within the
organization. Companies that provide career growth opportunities are more likely
to retain their workforce.
2. Employee Development
Career Planning – human resource managers also create career pathways that
provide growth opportunities for employees.
14
lOMoARcPSD|159 149 33
Salary and Wages – salaries can be based on hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly
payments. Employee salaries can include payments plus benefits such as paid
vacation leaves, housing, travel, and other privileges.
Bonuses and Incentives – these are benefits above and beyond standard salaries
and wages. Bonuses can be rewards to employees who show outstanding
performance. Incentives are given to employees who exceed specific goals and
objectives. The conditions for bonuses and incentives can be communicated during
orientation or before a project formally starts.
4. Integration
This refers to the role that the human resource department performs in day-to-day
company operations.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
The success and future status of different organizations whether this could be public or
private, such as banking and hospitality etc., depend mainly on the performance and
planning process of their core professionals and human resources (Uma et al., 2017),
which emphasize employees’ and management skills and future plans(Ong and Koh,
2018; Ong et al., 2019). Human resource management (HRM) policies and practices
could be considered as a set of both internal and external, coherent and consistent
(Elrehail et al., 2019).They all need to manage human talents and desirable skills to
gain the organization’s vision and goals (Anaet al., 2019).HRM policies and practices
are likely to create work atmosphere and conditions where employees could become
highly motivated and committed about organization and personal growth (have
positive attitude) and do their maximum to accomplish the personal and organization’s
and goals. Organizational planning and commitment involves the employees’ levels of
(Devananda and Onahring, 2019). HRM policies and practices creates positive and
encouraging employees’ job performance and satisfaction with their work styles and
jobs (Mohammed et al., 2019). Job performance and satisfaction could be defined as
personal job orientation and satisfaction toward work styles and roles that is presently
occupying by her or him, and it is being associated to that personal behavior in the
workplace (Devananda and Onahring, 2019).HRM policies and practices are intended

(Doyle& Fenwick 1974; Jain & Etgar 1976: King & Ring 1980; Chowdhury et al
1998), with some research efforts having attempted to explore the evolution of store
image formation(Mazursky and Jacoby 1986); and others seeking to conduct a meta-
analysis of retail patronage studies (Pan & Zinkhan 2006). However, the existing
literature did not retail image. Consumers’ perception of store image is based, in part,
on functional qualities that the store may possess, and by other, less tangible or
26
lOMoARcPSD|159 149 33
with store image formation and identified 35 different aspects that in reveal any prior
studies where clustering techniques had been used to study consumers’ perceptions
of stofluence store image formation. These were grouped into nine broad categories,
satisfaction. Mazursky and Jacoby (1986) conducted a similar analysis and verified
that “merchandise related aspects” (such as quality, pricing and assortment), and
“service related aspects” (such as quality in general and salesperson’s service) are
among the most important components of store image. A 1994 study by Baker,
Grewal and Parasuraman confirmed that “the store image literature suggests there are
linkages between merchandise and service quality, and store image.” A later study
by Baker, Grewal and Voss (2002) also confirmed that service quality was a key
determinant of store image. Given the prevalence in the literature of merchandise and
service as two key determinants in the formation of store image, these two attributes
were selected for this present study to gauge consumer’s perceptions of retail stores.
of retail stores based on these two attributes will yield a better understanding of
marketing standpoint in that many off-price retailers carry the same quality
specialty stores). In previous years, competition within the retail sector was more
clearly delineated in that department stores tended to compete with other department
stores; and in general, stores of a specific type tended to compete with like stores in
reality, these distinctions (at least with regards to merchandise quality) may not be
as clear today since off-price retailers often carry the same merchandise as specialty

CHAPTER- 4
THEORETICAL FRAME WORK
29
lOMoARcPSD|159 149 33
The theoretical framework for the role of HRM department in a growing organization
can be built upon various theoretical perspectives and models. Here are a few
prominent frameworks commonly used in the literature:
5. Social Exchange Theory: Social exchange theory examines the relationship between
employees and the organization. It suggests that when employees perceive fair
treatment, supportive work conditions, and opportunities for growth and development,
they are more likely to reciprocate with increased commitment, effort, and
30
lOMoARcPSD|159 149 33
contributions to the organization's growth. The HRM department plays a crucial role in
establishing positive social exchanges through fair HR practices, employee
engagement initiatives, and effective communication.
These theoretical frameworks provide a foundation for understanding the role of the
HRM department in a growing organization. They highlight the importance of aligning
HRM with the organization's strategy, leveraging human capital, fostering high-
performance work systems, building dynamic capabilities, and establishing positive
social exchanges to drive organizational growth. Applying these frameworks can help
guide the design and implementation of HRM practices and initiatives that effectively
support the growth objectives of the organization.

“It is a challenge to handle fresh produce,” says S Jagdish Krishnan, chief operating
officer, retail and bakery divisions, at Heritage Foods. “For, it goes through the
farmer-broker-wholesaler-retailer chain which roughly takes a day. If we work along
with farmers and process it quickly, we can sell it profitably.” Besides, it also has a 50-
member team which procures 55 per cent of its fresh produce locally in the areas
where it operates.
It has one of the largest multi-product, multi brand service centre in the country,
where 400 service staff and 120 skilled technicians work, who provide after-sales,
collection and delivery services to customers.
So whenever a customer buys a big product like air-conditioner, its service centre is
informed about the purchase which in turn calls the customer and says it will send
technicians to install it. Its technicians get in touch with customers and install it.

The service offered was somewhat okay. As soon as we went in, the security (lady)
informed us that she was putting our belongings inside a D-Mart’s green clothed bag
and sealing it. Even the purse bag of my mother was sealed inside. We had to argue
with the security guard and finally we managed to get the purse out. We began
shopping with 10 minutes of wasted time and a rather bad mood to begin shopping
with.
The staff was unfriendly and unfamiliar with rules. It seemed as if they wanted to sell
without understanding the requirements of the customer. On the Priya pickle offer
(1free for 2 bought) the staff lady wanted us to buy the same pickle three times. This
was a stupid idea, what would we do with 3 achaars of the same mango, or ginger, or
lime? Finally after we explained the stupidity behind her reasoning she relented and let

INTERPRETATION:
We interpret that most of the customers purchase goods in bulk which leads them to
spend a lot. Volume sales are high in store. Customers tend to purchase more goods
from store as it provides goods at a discounted rate. Probably those persons who spend
more in a visit to store are purchasing on a monthly basis. Those customers who are
spending very less money that is below Rs 1000 are mostly coming in just to move
around store and spend time. In the process they used to spend money on food items
and also purchase some products while roaming in it. Impulse buying behavior of
customers comes in to play to a large extent. More discounts shall be provided to a
person who does bulk purchase. This will encourage people to purchase more
products.

CONCLUSION
Different types of products starting from a baby food to pizzas wide range is available
under one roof. In Delhi it is the middle class people who mostly do marketing from
D-Mart. Even most of the people do their monthly shopping from D-Mart. People not
only visit D-Mart to do shopping but also visit for outing purpose as it provides a very
nice ambience to its customers. As people go to malls they just tend to move around
D-Mart whether it is for shopping purpose or for outing purpose. Grocery, apparels
and food items are the products which are demanded most by the customers of
Ahmadabad in D-Mart. The major drawback of D-Mart is that it lacks in providing
enough parking space for their customers. This may discourage the customers to come
to D-Mart and shop as they face difficulty in parking their vehicles. Even though some
customers say that they don’t feel problem in parking their vehicle, it is because of the
parking space available to them by the mall. As it is surveyed it seems that the biggest
competitors of D-Mart are the kirana stores, discounted specialty stores like Vishal
mega mart, The Tata Groups (Croma), Reliance Retail, & Sabka Bazaar etc.
