Workforce
planning is one of the important tasks in the hands of managers; it identifies the
number of employees required for organization in near future. Tesco maintains a
workforce planning table and reviews it for every three months so that it can
meet the demand for staff continuously.
As Tesco entered
into new product categories and opened stores in different countries, various
new jobs were created. Tesco controls its organization at six different work
levels such as interacting with customers directly, heading the staff,
maintaining operating unit, recommending changes in strategy, improving
performance and developing new goals and objectives for organization; each of
this level requires people with different qualifications and abilities.
Providing
job description and specifications are necessary while starting recruitment
process. Job description includes what is the designation and what are the role
and responsibilities of it. Specifications include skills and qualification
required for particular job. While recruiting, Tesco first conducts an internal
talent plan that means it prefers own employees for higher positions.
Encouraging talented staff is one of the aims of conducting internal talent
plan. If there are no suitable people, then Tesco goes for external recruiting.
Tesco created a separate website “www.tesco-careers.com” for advertising the
vacancies and it welcomes online applications for particular positions. Selection
process includes identifying the best candidate suites for particular position,
Screening all the applications, calling the suitable candidates for interview, Conducting
second level of interview if necessary and Sending offer letter to the person
is the selection process used at Tesco.
Employment legislation must be followed by every organization while recruiting and
maintaining staff. Gender, race, nationality and religion discrimination must
be avoided while recruiting people into organization.
Minimum wages, safety and health are other important legal aspects in maintaining
staff. Safe procedures, equipments and machinery must be provided for employees
at work place. Tesco provided safe working environments and it also trained
their staff on "how to tackle with dangerous situations". Tesco is paying minimum
wages to daily checkout staff based on number of hours and days worked.
Thus, workforce
planning creates a clear picture of future human resource need for an
organization. Recruiting right number of candidates at right location and at
right time is the main motive of workforce planning. A use-friendly recruiting
and selection process of Tesco helped them in meeting the demand for staff.
