Task 1: Application of Human Resource Management concepts

company you currently work for or a company you have previously worked for. If you
do not have previous work experience, select a company that has information readily
available on its website or where you may have access to interview an employee.
Provide the following information:
? A brief description of the company – what they do and the size of the
company in terms of employees
? A brief description of the type of employees with reference to Atkinson’s
flexible firm model.
? Describe the structure, roles and responsibilities of the HR
Department. Are these centralized? If not, explain where the
responsibilities for HR functions are situated in the company.
Include an organization chart which shows where the HR team fits within the organization
? What sort of approach to HR can you observe about the company?
? Consider the strategic human resource management model proposed by
Nankervis et al (2014) – are there any responsibilities that are not
undertaken by the HR team in your chosen company? For example, are
some of the HR functions such as recruitment outsourced?
? At each of the different levels (strategic, operational and functional) describe
the HR functions that are performed.
