Growing up, the business world has always intrigued me, however I am far more curious and eager to develop knowledge about the operations of Business management and human resources. I have strong beliefs that the business world would not be successful without driven individuals who are respected and are developed in a positive working environment.

This report will be about my chosen business Tesco. I will talk about the recruiting and selection process of Tesco. I chose Tesco because Tesco is one of the biggest supermarkets and they exist long time ago and they have been successful. Tesco has more than 250 employees so it is counted as a large business. Tesco was found in 1919 by Jack Cohen. Tesco on his first day made profit £1 from sales £4. Tesco’s brand appeared in 1924. Tesco has also bank, insurance company and petrol stations. Tesco have 476 000 employees so it is large business because is also international business. Tesco is a PLC company which means they are public limited company (they can sell shares to the public) and they have unlimited liabilities.

As a new recruit working in a public service you have been asked to investigate the response to emergency service incidents.

Tesco have a list of current employees looking for a move (at the same level or on for promotion).

And that status they still have but how do they do that now a day?

This act was brought in by Parliament in order to define the UK law on processing data. This governs the protection of personal data in the UK. It also helps to control how an individual’s personal information is used by many different businesses and organisations that may contact them. Anyone who can be held responsible for using data must follow specific rules/guidelines e.g. data must be used fairly and lawfully, it must be used for limited and stated purposes, and it must be used in a way that is adequate. This act replaced another legislation act that was implemented in 1984. This act was also based on data protection.

The Equality Act 2010 makes it unlawful to discriminate against employees, job seekers and trainees based on age. Hence. Kingston University does not discriminate based on age.

A team is different from a group and have its own unique traits.A group interacts primarily to share information and to make decisions to help each member do his or her job more efficiently and effectively. There’s no need or opportunity for work groups to engage in collective work that requires joint effort. On the other hand, work teams are groups whose members work intensely on a specific, common goal using their positive synergy, individual and mutual accountability, and complementary skills. The four most common types of teams are problem-solving teams, self-managed work teams, cross-functional teams, and virtual teams.

Team - a small group of people who are engaged in certain tasks. It is not important whether they are from one department, or different one. The main thing that the rights and responsibilities shared equally.

Team work is able to develop the ability of co-operation. In organisations people work collaboratively, this leads to mutual support. People learn how they can tackle any problem when they work jointly. It helps them to face

Informal Groups – The teams are unofficial which is emerged from the common interests and relationships of the members and does not serve organizational purpose.

A high performance team that formed by the merger of high-tech and high-tauch. A virtual teamwork is a team that consists of individuals who are able to work together effectively, build shared ideas, and being able to act through a digital nervous system in accordance with a common goal. Virtual teamwork has a high corporate IQ because of their ability to immerse theirself in team mission and vision of the team and their ability to dispose their ego.

Informal teams: These are unofficial and emerge to serve special interest. These informal groups form through personal relationships and create their own interlocking networks within the organization. Self managing teams: These are empowered to make decisions to manage themselves in day to day work. Virtual teams: These are teams whose members convene and work together through computer mediation rather than face to face. Cross-Functional and problem solving teams: A Cross-Functional team has members from different functional departments or work units to achieve better lateral relations through more horizontal integration. A problem solving team is created temporarily to serve a specific purpose by dealing with specific problem or opportunity.
