Introduction You probably know people who are looking for a job, or who have recently startel ‘a new job. You will have teachers who leave your school or college and need tobe replaced so that subjects can continue to be taught. All of these are examples ; situations that involve recruitment of staff. ‘When employees start a new job, they will need some training so that they produa shhiete work that is up to the standard required. In this chapter you will find out how organisations recruit employees and why it 2 important that they receive training when they first start their job. You will also oa : at the importance of training to existing employees as the needs of the job change “The success of any business depends on a number of factors, One of the key factos to business success is having the best possible workforce. A business is unlikely © che right number of employ achieve its aims and be competitive unless it recrui with the right skills. Figure 8.1 tis important to have the best possible workforce Recruitment and selection methods All businesses will, at some point, have to recruit new employees. They may nedlly ‘more employees because the business is growing in size, or they may need toll vacancy where an employee has left the business. Qo Internat recruitment: fling2 ‘secant post with someone already empioyed in the business, External recruitment: ‘ling ‘vacant post with somebody nct -eady employed in the business, ESCs a eu Tere eee Recruitment of new employees can be time-consuming and costly. However, it is important that the business recruits the right people because if it fails to do so, it will have to go through the whole process again, Difference between internal and external recruitment When a business has a job vacancy to fill it can look for someone in its existing workforce - internal recruitment - or search outside the business ~ external recruitment, Internal recruitment A business may decide that it already has the right people with the right skills to do the job. Ifso then instead of filling a job vacaney by employing someone from outside, they can choose someone who already works for the busi ‘The main advantages of internal recruitment are The vacancy can be fled more quickiy and more cheaply. Applicants already know how the business works. The business already knows the strengths and weaknesses of applicants. Employees can become more motivated when they see that there is a chance of promotion, ‘There are limitations to internal recruitment including: = There will stillbe a vacancy to fil, unless the employee's previous job has become redundant. External recruitment Ifa business decides that none of its current employees has the necessary skills or expertise to fill a vacancy, or they want to increase the choice of candidates for a job, then they will use external recruitment, This does not mean that current employees cannot apply for the job and might even be successful in getting the job. Businesses that are growing rapidly or that have a high labour turnover will frequently use external recruitment to fill job vacancies, ‘The main benefits to a business of external recruitment are = External applicants might bring new ideas and this can improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the business = There will be a wider choice of applicants with different skills and experience. 1 It avoids the risk of upsetting employees when someone who is internal is promoted, ‘The limitations of external r ruitment include: = Ittakes longer to fillthe vacancy. = Itismore expensive than internal recruitment because of advertising costs and the time spentinterviewing candidates. = External applicants will need induction training, which increases their expenses.

This is ap that identifies the content of a job in terms of the activities involved and thesl experience and other qualities needed to perform the work. It also identifies main job requirements. TOPTIP Remember that job description ismainly used to help managers decide what the job involves and selectthe applicant who best matches the requirements of the job. ofthe qualifications sil, Somienceanc personal quaities looked forina sce applicant. = Ca et euch eee Job descripti A job description is a written document that provides all the details about what a job involves. It is usually prepared by the human resource department with input from the manager of the department which has the vacancy. It will be sent to anyone interested in applying for the job and should help to attract the best applicants for the job. A job description needs to include: Job title - for example Sales and Marketing Executive. ‘The main duties of the post - for example plan and carry out marketing activities to agreed budgets and timescales. ies - who the job holder is responsible for supervising/managing. ~ who the ob holder reports to, An example of a simple job descri 1 is shown in Figure 8.3.

Advertising a job Once the job description and person specification have been produced, the needs to advertise the vacancy. If the job is tobe filled using internal recruitment, then the advertiseme be placed on the staff noticeboard, emailed to all staff, or included in a wor newsletter, If external recruitment is being used, then the advertisement could be p in local or national newspapers and specialist magazines. The choice of whi use local or national newspapers to advertise job vacancies will often deper nature of the job. Ifit is for middle and senior management jobs, or jobs re a specialist skill, then advertising nationally will probably attract more bet quality applicants than local advertising. Unskilled or semi-skilled job vac ‘will probably be filled from the local population, so there is no need to adw nationally.

A aaa Recreate Ces Many businesses now include details of any job vacancies on their website In some countries there are government-run job centres where vacancies can be advertised, usually for free. There are also a number of job websites stch as Seek in New Zealand and JobsDB in Malaysia ‘Some businesses might also use specialist recruitment agencies such as Candor Group (pvt) Lid in Pakistan. These agencies often provide a complete recruitment service, which saves the time of the managers in the business with the vacancy. However, such agencies can be expensive to use. The advert must be designed so that it attracts the right applicants and provides all the information they need about how to apply for the post. ~ @loTech Engineering Products | Sales Manager | js rnanegement bonus. comoary | San ts ac bona porae | ered products seeks a highly experienced en tome Sales Director yu wilpersonayand | ‘ott of you toam anc De e compa sales busget, target se | i roporting on activity to the Board.

Once they start work, they will be given a contract of employment and induction training (see below). Benefits and limitations of part-time and full-time employees Not all employees want to, or are able to, work full-time, Although in some countries things ae changing, women are more likely to want to work part-time so that they can combine work with raising a family or other commitments. College and university students are another important source of part-time employees. ‘There are a number of benefits to a business of employing part-time employees, such as: = Abusiness can often attract well-qualified employees - mainly women - who want to retum to work but need to have flexible working hours. Offering. full-time employee the opportunity to work part-time can help a business to keep experienced staf. = Part-time work provides greater flexibility. For example, ifn employee is off sick, part-time employees can often cover their duties at short notice, = The contract hours of parttime employees may be flexible to allow for changes in demand. The part-time employee works longer houts during busy periods and fewer hours when the business is less busy. = There's some evidence to suggest that part-time employees are more productive than full-time employees. Perhaps because they work fewer hours so are less tired, or because they are motivated to work for an employer who recognises the benefits of parttime employees. 1 Employing two part-time employees instead of one full-time employee often increases the sils and experiences of the workforce. = Parttime employees do not need to take time off work for medical and dental appointments. When fulltime employees take time of for these reasons, output falls. ere ees RRC Seca Sa aad Quality: see Chapter 17, page 229, Customer relationships and ‘customer loyalty: ‘see Chapter 10, page 140. ‘= There will be an increase in induction and training costs, Re PC There are also limitations to employing part-time employees: ‘a There could be communication problems.

For example, ifan employee is dealing with a custone then the as itis with full complaint on a Monday but is not at work again until Wednesday, customer has to wait longer for a solution. “The disadvantages of employing part-time employees are removed if full-time employees are employed. In addition, full-time employees are often more comms to the business and doing a good job because they are perhaps more keen on ga jon than part-time employees. prom end external 1.

Also, to keep their workforce operating at its most efficient level, businesses may need to provide employees with further training to update their skills, or learn how to use new technology. This training could be provided on-the- job or off-the-job, On-the-job training On-the-job training involves the employee learning the skills they need to complete tasks in the workplace. They will often sit with an experienced employee and watch how they perform the task. They will then complete the task under the guidance of the experienced employee. ‘The main advantages of on-the-job tr ining are: On-the-job training tis relatively cheap. = Employees learn the way that the business wants the job done. = Employees are producing output while training, fee ae RPC oy Rea Pa However there are also disadvantages of this meth including: = Employees might pick up any of the experienced employee's bad habits.

Explain the main difference between on-the-job and off-the-job training, Reasons for reducing the size of the workforce “There are several reasons why a worker’s employment with a business may be ended, or terminated. These are shown in Figure 8.6. See Sue Ca ACLS Rc eka Figure 8.6 Reasons for terminating employment Resignation Resignation means that an employee may decide to leave their job voluntarily; for example they leave to go and work far another employer.

Resa Cambridge IGCSE and O Level Business Studies Cer CE Deciding which employees to recruit or make redundant It is much easier for managers to deal with recruiting extra employees than it make employees redundant. Selecting new recruits and selecting employees to be made redundant are b important tasks of managers and tasks that must be done fairly. “The process of selecting employees for redundancy must be clear and fait. V often a business will use the last-in, first-out method. This means that employe who have been employed for the least amount of time will be the first to be ma redundant. However, although this system is clear and might be seen as fair i sometimes means that businesses lose employees who are better skilled and me productive than employees who have been employed longer. For this reason some employers may use more measurable criteria to select employees for redundancy such as: = How productive employees are - keeping the more productive employees ast are better for the future of the business. = How often employees have been late or absent from work in the past year- employees who are often late or absent will be less productive because they: not at work. = How old an employee is - perhaps those closer to retirement should be made redundant so that younger employees can be kept on. 2. Identify two ways a workfor 2. State two reasor way need to be reduced in size, why a business might dismiss an employee Legal controls over employment issues “The governments of most countries have passed laws aimed at protecting empl from being exploited by employers and dismissed unfairly. The main areas cot by these legal controls are shown in Figure 87. Ee Son eae cat RE Ue eet ats oe Contract of employment In most countries it is a legal requis sment that employees are given a written contract of employment. This is a legally binding agreement between the employer and the employee and will include details such as: the name of the employer the name of the employee the date of commencement of employment the amount the employee will be paid ‘the number of hours the employee is expected to work the job title and main responsibilities of the employee the number of days of holiday they will receive the period of time the employee has to give the employer f they wish to leave their employment -thisis known as the ‘period of notice’ '= the grievance and disciplinary procedures and where employees can find information about these. A contract of employment has benefits to both the employer and the employee. It Temoves any misunderstanding that could arise over issues such as hours of work, rate of pay and holidays. Ifan employer ignores any of the terms of the employment contract, for example pays the employee less than the amount agreed in the contract, then the employee could take legal action against their employer. Hones fanempoyeebraksanyofthetemsefthecntact,oreample | refuses to work the number of hours in their contract of employment, then the employer could dismiss the employee for breaking their contract Unfair dismissal In most countries the law will protect employees and ensure that they are treated fairly by their employer. This includes the legal right not to be dismissed from their job without good reason. If they are, then this would be unfair dismissal ‘An employee who thinks they have been unfairly dismissed can take legal action against the employer. Ifthe employee is a member of a trade union then they will fight the case on the employee's behalf. Ifthe courts decide that an employee has been unfairly dismissed, they can force the employer to give the employee their job back and/or compensate them for the loss of earnings. Discrimination Many countries also have laws that prevent employers from discrimination when recruiting new employees, or in how they treat employees who are in their employment. Laws to prevent discrimination on the grounds of gender, race, colour, religion, disability and age are the most common. Any employee who feels that they have been discriminated against for any of these reasons has the legal right to take their employer to court. Trade unions will provide legal advice and support to any of its members who have been subject to any form of discrimination covered by law. Health and safety The workplace can be a very dangerous environment for employees. Health and safety laws aim to protect employees from injury or physical discomfort, for Cea Ceara accel eR aS oy Section 2 People in business example being too hot or too cold. These laws also require the employee no! anything that might cause harm or injury to their fellow employees Employees who ignore health and safety rules and procedures and caus to themselves or others could be dismissed for misconduct. Health and safety in the workplace increases business costs but ifit reduces accidents then fewer days will be lost due to employee injury. Th will help to keep output at high levels and the employer will not have to pay employees’ health bills or compensation for any injuries they receive while at work. Legal minimum wage Some countries have introduced minimum wage laws to prevent employers exploiting employees by paying very low wages. Minimum wage laws state t ‘employee cannot be paid less than a certain rate per hour, Minimum wage laws often increase business costs. However, if employe receive a fair wage then this could motivate them to work harder and incre: productivity. peas 1. State two features of an employment contract. 2.
