...1 1.1 There are many different reasons as to why an Organisation needs to collect HR data, one of these could be for Legal requirements. All Employers are required to ensure that all of their Employees have a Right to Work in the UK. This could be in the form of a valid UK Passport, an Employer would then have to check the original to ensure it is valid and keep a copy on record (Richter, 2014). Another reason would be for administration purposes, an Employer would need to store information such as addresses, phone numbers, and next of kin details to ensure that they are able to contact employees via telephone and letters and also contact family members if an emergency was to occur. 1.2 One type of data that is collected by HR is absence (Richter, 2014). This allows an organisation to monitor the leave taken by each employee. A manager can then ensure an employee is not taking too much or too little holiday and it can also highlight any trends showing in sickness absence. Other types of data collected by HR could be data relating to Recruitment, this may include where the candidate was recruitment from, whether it is an agency and if so what the recruitment cost was. You may also keep a record of the date a role has been signed off and how long it has taken to recruit and place a candidate. Logging this sort of information allows you to look back and see if there are any week areas within the recruitment process, you can then look at how to improve these and therefore...

Information on this map is shown (below) by a circle made up of a core and 3 layers, and also 4 bands which are displayed to the side. Starting from the core, I’ll work my way out through the layers to the outer edge of the circle, and then discuss the bands, one by one. The core of the circle is applicable to all HR professionals, and is central to all roles. There are two aspects of the core – the very centre, labelled, ‘Insights, strategy and solutions, and the ring around this, which is defined as ‘Leading HR’. The centre reminds us that the HR professional have continuous awareness of business strategies and areas of weakness and have the skills and capability to provide genuine business solutions that fit with organisational values.

...1.1. and 1.2 Organizations need to collect HR/L&D data for numerous reasons, some being training effectiveness compliance and also for the legal requirements, this information can help make decisions for the direction of the company, two of which are discussed below. Type of data that is collected from the perspective of a learning and development practitioner are training evaluation forms from induction and company employee’s. Training evaluation forms are imperative to learning and development practitioners because they provide information needed when conducting training needs analysis. By doing this we can drill down through by analysis to possibly identify competency gaps that employees may have and to research on whether a skilled, knowledge or behavior training needs to be conducted. These evaluation forms will help learning and development practitioners understand the success rate of the training curriculum and the learning and development practitioners’ own performance. If all or most of the feed back obtained from these forms where negative, then this could be an indicator either the training curriculum needs updated or the learning and development practitioner needs to be assessed further. Every organization has legal requirements. Government departments have an impact on the HR data and can demand records. These could be to satisfy legal requirements, provide relevant information in decision-making and for consultation requirements. Others include recording...

...Employment Law * introduction The following report will explain Employment Law and how it is enforced, Tribunal and Courts system and the Legal procedures. Employment Law is the legal field that covers the relationship between employees and employers including what can an employer expect from you and ask you to do and the rights you have to work. (Law on the Web, 2015) There are two different types of employee rights – Statutory rights and the rights set up in your contact. 1.1 Explain the purpose of employment law and how it is enforced: “The purpose of employment law is to provide legal protection to employees and employers. The need for employment law became apparent when industrialization swept nations. Industrialization changes the face of any nation. Urban slums were suddenly over run with people willing to work, often found that the limited number of jobs available meant that the factory conditions worsened. Employers discovered that desperate people would be willing to work for very little in bad conditions. As the conditions became worse, the number of people willing to work increased. Governments were forced to take notice of the conditions that frequently resulted in death and dismemberment of employees. When conditions of this nature exist, wages begin to go down. Required work hours go up, and some vulnerable members of the population are exploited. Historically, the first group to get exploited is women. Women worked twelve or more hours a day...
