Introduction

Human resource management is a strategic approach towards an effective management

of people in a company. HRM is a system which is developed to satisfy its workforce
and increase its performance.

Escape to the wild have expanded the premises of its warehouse and have increased its
workforce from 20-300 as the company continues to grow and since the organization
have the need to increase its staff the company focuses on establishing a proper HR
management within the organization. In order to establish a HR division the following
key HR activities should be implemented within the organization.

 Job analysis
 Employee hiring
 Employee remuneration
 Industrial relations

Job analysis

Job analysis is the process of gathering information on a particular job on its features
and identifying the required qualifications, responsibilities and skills which should be
possessed by the employees in order to carry out the organizational activities
efficiently.

Job analysis helps in identifying the duties related to the job, identification of risks
involved with the job, identifying the skills which the employees should poses, supports
the recruitment and hiring process.

 As the organization have decided to expand its staff , with a proper job analysis
“Escape to the Wild” will be able to recognize particular job requirements which

 will assist in recruiting the suitable employee, as the organization have
expanded its warehouse and decided to open five more retail outlets job analysis
will contribute to identify the job requirements.

Employee hiring

The process of identifying and appointing the most suitable individuals with the
required skills and qualifications for a particular job can be known as employee hiring.

Labor is the most important resource within an organization. Hiring the correct
employee for a particular job is very important. In order to carry out the tasks of the job
effectively and efficiently the most suitable candidate should be hired for it. Employee
hiring plays a huge role within an organization where it will benefit the company if it is
done in a proper way.

 As in Escape to the wild the company is growing where it have increased the
scale of its ware house and plans to expand its business more by opening 5 new
retail outlets so as the company grows it opens up new job opportunities so the
recruitment process should be done in an effective manner where the qualified
candidates should be recruited for the job so that unnecessary recruitment can be
avoided. So the senior management should be more concerned on having a good
recruitment process as the employees is the most valuable resource within the
organization

Employee remuneration

Employee remuneration is the cash compensations an employee receives for the

contribution for the work process of an organization. It leads to employee motivation
because remuneration provides a basic attraction towards the employees.

5
With the employee remuneration the organization can increase the performance of
employees due to the compensation provided to them. It act as a strategic approach
which is used to motivate employees to get the best out of them and attract new
employees.

 As in Escape to the wild the management faces issues regarding employee pay.
Also the company’s finance section wastes its time due to dealing with
employee pay related issues, senior managers voicing out their concerns
regarding spending too much time on employee issues. By implementing a
proper employee remuneration the organization can solve these issues where the
employees will stay motivated without a dissatisfaction.

Industrial relations

Industrial relations is the relationship between the employer and employee within an
organization. Fair employment policies and procedures fall under industrial relations
Main purpose is to settle industrial disputes and to maintain fair employment policies
and practices for equality.

The organizational work would be carried out without much issues which will help to
maintain the continuity of productivity, increase overall organization efficiency and
effectiveness.

 As is Escape to the wild, the work force have increased from 20-300 within the
past few years. Throughout the period the employees have had concerns on the
unfair approach by the senior management towards HR related issues and as the
organization decides to increase its staff in the future, industrial relations will
play a role in order to maintain a healthy relationship between employer and
employee. Also it would assist the senior management to deal with HR issues in
a fair way.

 2. HRM structure
a) Human resource structure
Human resource structure is a layout which shows how the managers and employees
should be appointed hierarchy and it’s a structure which shows the hierarchy, reporting
lines and authority within the HR division of the organization.

As in escape to the wild the HR division should be well organized in order to control all
300 employees, to have a proper control there should be a solid HR structure which
would help in managing the human resources.
