Recruitment and Selection
Recruitment and Selection Unit 15, Task 1 (P1) Introduction; In this assignment, I will produce a written report that will allow me to demonstrate an understanding of the importance of human resource techniques and practises in relation to recruitment and selection. Introduction to task 1; In this task I will look at East Berkshire College, identifying and describing the different stages in the process of planning recruitment and selection. Supply and demand; Supply and demand is when there is need for new employees to fill vacancies. The college may need to recruit new individuals, and this could be due to; more students coming to join the college on their preferred course, a member of staff retiring, or maybe a member of staff leaving for a job role in a different organisation. The college would have to make sure that they have enough members of staff to teach these students, and that the members of staff have the right skills for the subjects as the college has many different subject areas, such as; construction, business, hair and beauty, art and I.T. The college would also have to make sure that they look after their employees so they do not leave, they can do this by; offering them more money, giving them more holidays and also making sure that students are handing work in on time. Overall it is important for the college to advertise their jobs

Should the UK join the Euro?
Question: Should the UK join the Euro? The Euro is a single currency arrangement that came into theoretical operation between 11 members of the European Union in January 1999. On January 1st 2002, 12 EU members got rid of their own currencies and introduced the Euro as their sole currency. The 3 'old' member states not yet using the Euro are Denmark, Sweden and the United Kingdom. A single currency means that there are no longer separate national monetary policies, and instead a new central bank has been set up, The European Central Bank, that conducts a Europe wide monetary policy, in particular the setting of interest rates. That means a loss of separate national monetary policies, interest rates and exchange rates. The Treasury outlined five economic tests in 1997 that need to be met before the UK can adopt the Euro, these tests are: Convergence, are the UK business cycle and economic structures compatible with euro interest rates on a permanent basis? This will test whether a single interest rate will be suitable for all Member States, whether each economy would react in the same way and whether or not Members would be vulnerable to country specific shocks. If the latter applies, the government would not consider there to be sufficient convergence for the UK to join. Second test: flexibility, is there sufficient flexibility to deal with problems? This test looks at the

Training and development
P4 Introduction; I will explain ways in which methods of development and training in a selected organisation may be enhanced. The methods of Training and Development; Training and Development can be carried out for a number of reasons, and these are; * Once an appraisal or performance review is carried out, it has shown the weaknesses of the employee, therefore the employee will need to take action and improve on this * To "benchmark" the status of improvement so far in a performance improvement effort * As part of an overall professional development program * To help an employee be suitable for a job role change within the organisation Training and Development is very important as it accommodates the needs of the individual whilst meeting the needs of the organisation. Marks and Spencer create a career planning profile, this enables them to focus on their next target job role, once this is done, the individual can develop a career in this job role to support his/her future ambition.
