Human Resources Management

Introduction

HRM is a process of managing human resource in an organisation and managing the current inter-personal relationships, as well. These two methods are necessary in the growth and success of a business. HRM is also function in a company that emphasizes on management, recruitment and selection, and offering a path for the employees of the organisation (Gong, et.al, 2009, pp. 264). All these functions and processes can be better understood through two divergent organisations in the UK, which include Tesco and Marks & Spencer's. Tesco is a gigantic retailer and grocery store in the UK (www.tesco.com). In contrast, Marks & Spencer's is also the UK's leading retailer; however, it comprises mixed goods that include good quality clothing, home goods, and high-quality food products (www.corporate.marksandspencer.com).
