...1) There are four major types of legislation that affect recruitment and selection in a non-unionized workplace within Saskatchewan. Those types of legislation being: • Constitutional law • Human Rights law • Employment Equity legislation and • Labour law/employment standards and related legislation. Constitutional law as a whole is the supreme law of Canada and has precedence over all other legal means; it consists of a series of Acts and orders passed since 1867 by the British and Canadian Parliaments. Sections 1 – 34 of Part 1 of the Constitution Act of 1982 are called the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Constitutional law does not directly affect recruitment and selection activities unless the recruitment and selection practices are challenged in a Human Rights Tribunal or court. Constitutional law sets limits and conditions on what federal, provincial/territorial, and municipal governments and courts can legally do to alter employment policies and practices. Therefore, the interpretation of constitutional law has a substantial influence on every aspect of Human Resource Management not just Recruitment & Selection practices and programs. Human Rights laws across Canada prohibit discrimination in both employment and the provisions of goods and services. Grounds on which discrimination is prohibited in Saskatchewan are: • Race or colour • Religion • Physical or mental disability • Age • Sec (includes pregnancy and childbirth) • Marital status ...

...A STUDY OF MCMUNN AND YATES’ DISTRIBUTION CENTRE’S HUMAN RESOURCES POLICIES AND PRACTICES Paolo Balinghasay University of Winnipeg PACE Program Background Mc Munn and Yates, a medium-sized enterprise, is a building supplies company that was established by two families in 1971. Their first branch was in Dauphin, Manitoba. The company slowly grew and put up a few more branches in central Canada. Since 2008, Mc Munn and Yates (M&Y) started an aggressive expansion by buying out other companies such as Miracle Lumber Mart in Beausejour, Webster’s Building Centres, and McDiarmid Lumber, to name a few. These acquisitions made such rapid growth in their operations and logistics that M&Y struggled to cope in meeting product demand. As of 2016, M&Y Enterprise is slowly establishing their name in central Canada. They currently have 24 branches, mostly in and around the Winnipeg area, but some go as far as Thompson and FlinFlon. They have achieved this by focusing in improving customer satisfaction to acquire loyal patrons, but significantly lack development in such crucial responsibilities such as Human Resources Management. Having expanded from less than 10 stores to 24 within four years, M&Y only have one Distribution Centre (DC) to cater to all the branches for supplies and customer orders. The DC, which was constructed in 2008, consists of two main operations of M&Y: The Shipping and Receiving Department, and the Corporate Department. The...

...Methods of recruitment and selection and its impact on corporate culture and processes. Human resources are like natural resources; they’re often buried deep. You have to go looking for them; they are not just lying around on the surface. -Ken Robinson “…while extraordinary products and unique services still afford a competitive advantage, the one advantage that stand the test of time… is people.” -Mark Salsbury, Human Capital Management: Leveraging your Workforce for competitive advantage. Creating and sustaining a corporate culture that truly emphasizes people starts with hiring a particular kind of person.

...Date: March 16, 2016 To: Google Management Team From: Hailey Muzyka ------------------------------------------------- Topic: Evaluation of Google’s Selection System Management Team, The evaluation of the newly implemented selection system consisted of analyzing the key issues of the old system, the goals for why Google changed its system, the process used to evaluation, the positives and negatives of the new system, and recommendations for future efficiency changes. Please review the evaluation results and direct your thoughts and future directions at your convenience. Key Recruitment and Selection Issues The key issues that prompted a change in application processing was the efficiency of selecting the most suitable applicants through application review, interviewing, and testing processes. Google’s algorithms have been able to sort through applications, reducing recruiter’s hours spent on reviewing applications however, are there any negatives to these algorithms? A more efficient process was required to reduce recruiter’s time spent on interviewing candidates, as half a dozen interviews was a lengthy process for both recruiters and applicants. Goals for change Google’s selection system previously required successful applicants to have a 3.7 GPA. Strictly focusing on academics, management was not satisfied with the outcomes of the system, they were not attracting the type of employees they wanted. Also, by focusing on GPA, there is assumption that they mean to...
