...P1 In this task I am going to describe the internal and external factors to consider when planning HRM requirements for Tesco PLC. Tesco PLC is one of the largest food retailers in UK. It has changed a lot over the last 8-10 years. Thanks to HR guidance it has improved all his sections and departments. To maintain this growth Tesco has to offer new services and products by using new selling strategies. To improve Tesco performance the HR changed the internal and external factors. Internal factors Organisational needs and skills requirements: organisational needs are constantly changing that is why Tesco’s HR has to training the employees as far as they can keep their position. The organisation must watch the marketing in order to open new stores in other countries or in other regions. In this way the business will need to expand its organisation needs(which are also called workforce) and these new people must be trained and also must be able to speak other languages(if the store will open in different countries). However, nowadays the technology that Tesco had include in its supermarkets, has affected the organisational needs because by using the equipment customers do not need more than two people to help them. Workforce profiles: As any business Tesco has got workforce profiles which include information such as: gender, age, ability and ethnicity. In fact, if Tesco had people who retire at the same time, Tesco would be able to cover them by introducing new employees...

Its website was launched on February 4, 2004, by Mark Zuckerberg with his Harvard College roommates and fellow students Eduardo Saverin,Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes.[8][9][10] The founders had initially limited the website's membership to Harvard students, but later expanded it to colleges in the Boston area, the Ivy League, and Stanford University. It gradually added support for students at various other universities and later to high-school students. Since 2006, anyone who is at least 13 years old was allowed to become a registered user of the website, though the age requirement may be higher depending on applicable local laws.[11] Its name comes from the face book directories often given to American university students.[12] After registering to use the site, users can create a user profile, add other users as "friends", exchange messages, post status updates and photos, share videos, use various apps and receive notifications when others update their profiles. Additionally, users may join common-interest user groups, organized by workplace, school or college, or other characteristics, and categorize their friends into lists such as "People From Work" or "Close Friends". Also users can complain or block unpleasant people. Facebook had over 1.18 billion monthly active users as of August 2015.[7]Because of the large volume...

...Unit 36 M1 Explain methods used to identify the target market for the proposed business Market research Market research can enable you to identify your target consumer, find out what they think about your ideas, products or brand and gather insights to help you target the right market. Market research is part of our business strategy. As a business we need to bear in mind that consumer’s motivation and behaviour change over time so we consider reviewing our research on a regular basis. Market research is finding out information about what potential customers want and also to meet their needs in the beauty industry. We have used 2 methods of primary research and another 2 methods of secondary research. These include: questionnaires, Visits to similar businesses, Internet and Publishes text books. This provides a wide range of information which helped us decide what we should do with our business. Collecting questionaires was one of our primary methods. The advantages about collecting primary research are that it is up to date because we have just collected it. It has met our specific needs as we asked the questions and those questions were based on what we wanted to know about our business. Collecting this type of information is relatively cheap, as it is just a visit and we have record the information. But normally collecting primary research is very expensive as I am starting from scratch. Collecting information of the internet is one of our secondary researches....

...Unit 36, P4 Legal aspects and physical resources As my business is starting up there are several legal statuses that I can have which are; Legal Aspects; * My legal status: Sole trader * Legal liability: Unlimited liability * Trading terms and conditions: Being owner of the business this means that I can do as I wish and go against the terms and conditions which I have set for my business, for example of a term would be the closure of the shop at 9pm A sole trader owned company is a business which is owned just by one person. There are several disadvantages and advantages when being a sole trader. Being a sole trader will mean that a lot of the businesses work will be on one person’s shoulders. This means there will be a lot of pressure and stress on the single person. Having privacy within a company is highly important, being a sole trader means that you have full control of the business and its financial incomes, this means that other companies don’t have access to your information. Also there are fewer legal restrictions so this will allow the business to be more flexible. However, hours are generally longer and working alone may mean that they will need more acquired skills for their business. Also there is no obligation when it comes to sharing profits. I have chosen to be a sole trader because as my business is small I feel like it would cause less complications then if I was to start as a partnership.

The advantages of being a sole trader is that its is a small business so less money is required, quick decisions can be made without having to consult others, all profits are kept to one person and financial information can be kept private. The disadvantages of being a sole trader can be If the owner becomes ill or goes on holiday the business may suffer as they are not there to control the business, they may have work very long hours, prices are often higher than larger organizations, money may be difficult to raise as many banks and other lending institutions are reluctant to lend to sole traders because they have a higher rate of bankruptcy and they have complete responsibility for all the debts of the business.

Health and safety is the most important thing within any business, I must make sure everyone within Alcarwash is safe first before we do anything. I am responsible for the effect that Alcarwash may have on the health and safety of your employees and the consumers. I will have to make sure I register with the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) or with my Local Authority, so that they can come to check all aspects of the business and building to make sure that everything is in place and safe to operate around without it causing any damage to anyone around it. With healthy and safety comes thigs such as fire precautions; this is because I will need to make sure all my employees know what they are doing during a fire- so therefore I’ll need to practice drills, for when there is a fire my employees are aware what to do to keep themselves and others out of danger. Some laws set by HM Revenue & Customs, which I must abide by, are; Sex Discrimination The Sex Discrimination Act is a British Act of Parliament which became...

...training from our higher headquarters. It needs to assign a team to operate the range. It needs to monitor the amount of man hours are used to run the range and the total man-hours the team has worked per week. It needs to keep track of the unit that is being trained and the total size of that unit. It also needs to calculate the percentage that passed and/or needs to be re-trained. Preliminary Investigation Findings 1. The system that is in place now is very confusing to the untrained person. Information is sometimes lost or misplaced. The system that is in place repeats a certain step twice and this causes duplication of information. 2. The current system assigned individuals to certain responsibilities on the ranges and took the power away from the team leader. The team leader was unable to keep track of man-hours because they never knew when they personnel worked. The team leader was overworked looking for personnel that were not even working that particular day. 3. Unit information is kept in boxes under a desk. This has not been loaded into the computer and this situation is not acceptable. The range information sheets needs to be kept in a secure location because of the personal information that is on it. 4. Unit information is being kept manually and typed up on a separate report.
