Hrm Practices of the Mcdonald’s Chain

McDonalds’ employees are similar as they too want good hours, a fair workload, and an equal pay for the amount of time and effort they put into their work.

In December of 1948, McDonald’s was rebranded as a self-serve drive-in restaurant (“McDonald’s

The ‘‘best fit’’ approach promotes the concept that strategic HR should be inextricably linked to the formulation and implementation of strategic corporate and business objectives (Wilton, 2011). This means that the HR strategy is concerned with matching the employee’s role behaviour with the company‘s mission, values and goals. Wilton (2011) explains this by giving an example whereby if a company‘s business strategy is based on delivering a high quality service, then the HR strategies and policies need to focus on the quality of its employees. This would be achieved by rewarding attitudes and behaviour that match this approach.

He also set up a training center called “Hamburger University” that taught about “food, equipment, and management technique” (Hill, C55). Turner developed a report on franchisees’ performance which later on was used by field consultants whose responsibility was to inspect the stores and make sure franchisees complied to McDonald’s regulations. Turner also made field consultants the prerequisite for promotion within the corporate. 3. What aspects of McDonald’s management ensure that it was able to deliver a consistent
