It requires the innovative program of an induction which serves for various cultures, styles of training and various obligations in area of work. It is believed that frontline workers are main reflection of Tesco for the clients, but also all employees have very much key role in transformation the basic values and a commitment of the client in a reality on a daily basis. Training creates graphic travel on history Tesco, its prime objective, values, objectives of business, financial objectives, activity and marketing strategy and its obligations to clients. All employees receive more preparations, than earlier. The future is directed on maintenance of a precise way to define roles, duties and activities. The system guarantees, that all employees bear the responsibility, the accountability, consultations and the information. Tesco, is measured and to do onwards accent on improvement of professional skill of the workers. To integrate HR are strategically included in plans and can influence one step at a time decision-making aspect. The increase in preparation priority has been supported by growth of management by human resources. This practice emphasizes, that the accelerated growth maybe will reach only over the longer term; by equipment of a labor with the skills necessary for performance of the problems. 1.2 Outline the stages involved in HR planning requirements It is base, on which all other human resources activity rests. It includes forecasting, that the future of human resources demand from practice and maintenance of necessary measures for satisfaction of these future demands. Planning has a strategic element and should be considered in a view of strategic directions of practice. It is very important to have appropriating well motivated employees are available as required for maintenance to an expert meets as long-term and short-term objectives. Objectives planning of human resources are:

to cut expenses on the personnel of the organization by anticipating deficiency and proficiency of employees on maintenance of measures for overcoming or minimization of these problems; the contribution to the general business-plan; to develop potential of employees for mutual benefit of the worker and practice; maintenance of compliance with legislative requirements, and to estimate influence of a human resource of policy render in practice. A number of factors before planning should be considered. These factors are: strategic objectives of the organization - objective to have the right people with right qualification and experience, When they are necessary; for creation of culture in an expert where people are appreciated, it is recommended to be self-confident and to work in an atmosphere of mutual benefit; demographic tendencies - distribution of the population and service which they require will change eventually and should be considered; Variation business - directions - the increasing value of the service organizations and variations of methods of carrying out of traditional actions of business should be considered; the general economic conditions will have influence on demand on services to an expert and can provide possibilities for granting free services; Four steps, human resources participating planning are: gathering and the analysis of data, creation of human resources and objectives of policy, development and realization of plans of action, as well as an assessment of influence of these plans. SWOT analysis provides a good starting point as for the general internal and external factors of an environment for carrying out human resources. (Mullins, 2007) 1.3 Comparison of Recruitment and Selection Process with Lloyds Recruitment is the process of attracting the right applicants to apply for vacancies. Tesco advertises for workplaces differently. Process depends on jobs where they are available. Tesco first looks at the internal talents for filling vacancies. It is process which looks for lists of present employees to move, either at the same level or on promotion. If there are no suitable people in this talent plan or development on internal programs for progress of management, then Tesco advertises to the message internally on the internet, magazines and newspapers within two weeks. For external recruitments, Tesco advertises vacancies by means of www.tesco -careers.com or through vacancies display in store. For managerial jobs, applications are received online. Applicants selected for interview are evaluated by the subsequent participation in an assessment center for the final stage of selection. (Allen, 2004) People interested to work in Tesco stores can approach directly with their resumes and stores call them as and when jobs are available. For more difficult jobs of bakers and pharmacists Tesco advertises externally: through a web-site, by means of TV and radio and advertising on Google or in magazines. While process of hiring by Lloyds is simpler, Lloyds TSB uses the Internet and paper numerical experiments, on the basis of PSL to help to sift plenty of applicants on its graduate employment program. The bank has changed in PSL after that, the test dissatisfied its incumbent test provider. Operated automatically, complex online PSL numerical tests of reasoning are seamless part of online process of banks online application processing. The written test which has typed on a computer is used at an assessment of the centers for check online assessment of candidates. As the large transnational companies with reputation for maintenance of preparation and progress and long-term possibilities for career growth, Lloyds TSB is the attractive offer for graduates. The bank undertakes annual employments of graduates in September. In the past to year, it has received more than 3800 appendices, 102 eventually have joined management trainees for two

years program of bank for graduates. To help in a challenge of elimination of candidates, the bank has entered online element of its recruitment. Now all graduates submit application online, through a special web-site. (Mullins, 2007) The online application form which shows questions on the basis of competency is the first stage during sifting process and the second stage, which is 20-minute test of numerical reasoning for candidates to answer online. Candidates selected then have a face to face interview and they undertake presentation, group exercises and role play while it is observed by the accredited experts of bank. They also undertake 35-minute, PSL paper of numerical tests reasoning, for checking their online assessment test. After stage of an assessment, the bank offers work to successful candidates. Candidates applying for managerial jobs have to apply through website and these vacancies are also advertised on TV and radio and newspapers.

1.4 Evaluation of effectiveness of the recruitment and selection techniques of TESC0 and Lloyds

Planning of workforce resources is vital, if business for satisfaction of the future demands of the personnel. It allows business-time to train existing personnel, to incur new duties and a set of new employees for filling vacancies or for satisfaction shortage of qualified personnel. Tesco is the large international company with lot of workplaces for managements, post-graduate students, graduates, school dropouts and apprentices. Tesco should have people with the necessary skills and behavior for support of its growth and progress. Tesco for every right applicant has precise organizational structure, detailed duty regulations and specifications. It provides convenient ways employment and the consecutive approach to a set and selection. It means that it can operate its variations of demand for the personnel. While in case of Lloyds the PSL stipulated test is the most complex online for Great Britain psychometric assessments. ( Recruitment and selection at Tesco, 2011) It is called infinity sets of numerical Arguing tests, it gives each candidate to random sample of questions, and therefore there are never two people, to receive the same test. It reduces risk to a minimum that candidates will have a possibility in advance to prepare or deceive. From the point of view of the candidate, the test is seamless part of online application process and behind the scenes; though there are some clever technologies have worked. (Allen, 2004) Task II 2.1 The relationship between motivation theories and reward system In Tesco they use motivations theories to motivate employees. They use theory of Maslow. It is done by rendering assistance to employees and achievement of the personal objectives, encouraging and praising employees and to give them the award for their good work. They use McGregors theory X and theory Y Tesco pay to the employees, to work and be motivated, . the personnel is under the control of efficient managers. Also at Tesco management extend helps to workers for their better performance. Tescos apply Herzbergs two factor theory. Tesco is concerned to all employees in the best way it can. They do it, by giving an appropriate payment, satisfactory operating conditions and advantages of packages, such as sick pays and pension schemes. Also they put challenges to motivate the employees. (Rewards And Benefits, 2011) They also have applied Taylors Scientific Management theory. Tesco also pay bonuses to

managers to motivate them. Management of productivity assists objectives of company Tesco, it is because Tesco know, if each employee has met the objective, and they will know, what areas require perfection with objective of satisfaction of the objectives. Reward System Systems of Payment and reward in Tesco are done every year. For the best member or members of the personnel who have contributed in big way, Tesco will give certificates of recognition, praise and the award value. Tesco does not pay to entire employees same amount of money, its because they have different departments having more responsibility than other departments, for example checkout staff receives more money than people who work in stores. Other example is staffs which work in a pharmacy and baker receive more money, than employees who work in a department of a fish. Employees of company are paid for every hour and they pay every month. Managers have received the fixed salary which they also pay a part every month. 2.2 Evaluation of the process of job evaluation and others determining pay Job Evaluations is a process to assess workers for wages and grants which they reflect their true value for the organizations maintenance of equality and validity.

It also helps management to announce sound administration of the salary assessment of the employee by way of creation of workers and to prepare supervising principles for promotion. It provides objectivity in salaries. 6. It serves as the basis for fastening various spurs and plans a bonus. 7. Work assessment helps with definition of functions, powers and the responsibility. 8. Work assessment serves the useful reference source for installation of individual complaints concerning wages. 9. Work assessment helps with clearing of the troubles, from a wages and a wages administration for example persons holding high positions and getting high salaries where equivalent skills are not required or giving rise to the salary of unworthy employees or distinctions in wages in closely associated workplaces, etc. 10. It has created precedent for comparison of work of structures and facilitates planning career. Procedure of Job Evaluation Procedure of job evaluation in TESCO includes comparison in factors of jobs and their relative efficiency. Job factors are of prime importance which take into consideration, in what degree in

them are present at each job to make comparison sense. Skill, efforts, responsibility and factors of working conditions are considered for definition of relative value of job. These factors help to solve the compensation which are a subject payment for each task. For an assessment of jobs, TESCO Personal managements, has offered the following five breakages. ( Recruitment and selection at Tesco, 2011) 1. The analysis and preparation of the duty regulations, 2. Choose and prepare assessment plans of jobs, 3. Classification of jobs, 4. Establish the program, 5. To support programs. 2.3 Tescos reward system as compared with Domino, Sainsbury Rewards always motivate employees in the organization to work hard. It helps them to grow, as separate and to study while they earn. Tesco gives their employees considerable opportunities for work on company Tesco. Tesco considers their employees deserve rewards for making all efforts and a proven track record for the organization Therefore they provide construction to the workers of wages and grants with three various schemes. The first scheme refers to share in success. This scheme gives free shares to everyone who worked in Tesco for one year in fiscal year ending February. They have a fraction of the profit among the workers, based for the salary they receive. Staffs Tesco shares are being by trust for the period of 5 years and after 5 years, employees can accept them tax free. (Mullins, 2007) The second scheme, that they provide for the employees, refers to "save as you earn". This diagram gives the employees who work with them throughout a year a possibility to save up to 50 pounds each 4 weeks from 3 till 5 years and to receive tax a free bonus in its end. The final diagram, "To buy as you earn", enables employees to join to BAYE scheme after every three month. Employees can buy shares at the market price, each 4 weeks for conservation of tax and national insurance. Tesco also encourage the employees who worked in it during a year, giving them "Privilege card". These are cards of loyalty of the personnel that gives them of 10 % discount and the Club card for majority of products of Tesco. Besides the employees have access to exclusive discounts with Tesco Personal Finance and Tesco Telecoms. For employees future Tesco to provide pension scheme entitled "Tesco the Pension plan". 2.4 How Tesco monitors employee performance Tesco monitor performance of the employees, giving them the review plan once a year, depending on that the area of shop, employees has set targets to meet. For example, when the employee from checkouts receives their considerations of the plan, it will show their satisfactions of the objective each hour consists in scanning the certain quantity of products. It refers to speed of scanning to work performances. Work performance is continuous process in company Tesco. (Rewards And Benefits, 2011) The assessment is carried out every 12 months. The system of an assessment is a possibility to discuss with employees that occur so that it is possible to improve as they would like to develop and any reasonable offer from any employee. These meetings and reviews are between manager and

the employee of company. These meetings are also confidential. Performance measure in Tesco, using systems of an assessment is form to show, if employees have achievements of goals and does work properly. Conclusions and discussion Tescos long run strategy gives value on training of the personnel and to integrate this value in culture of the organization. They use this approach for maintenance of their competitiveness. Values which are higher in HR show a commitment of highest levels of the organization to training. (Recruitment and selection at Tesco, 2011) Tesco intentions are for maintenance of it enhanced attention on training of the personnel and to integrate this training completely into the organizations. There is a constant review of intervention, and to make necessary adjustments. Studying policy of Tesco HR has shown that by introduction of higher level of preparation of all employees it influences practical result. When employees are trained also demonstrations above a commitment of the organization they feel a part of the general strategy. It leads to employees feeling appreciate and consequently more perfect a labor. This is felt as the consumer receives higher level of service which gives the organization the added cost. Tesco model of HR is one of the best practices and a high commitment. It has allowed the organization to concentrate attention to a human resource from such practice, as questions of a professional training. This focus on HR is vital for success of the organization, without obligations, it would make waste of resources. Tesco is one of the UKs successful organizations. They have increased their market share and trading facilities within last five years. Other organizations can take advantage by review of policy of company Tesco. They have shown models of realization HR. It was the factor, assisting their increase of profit.
