Introduction

In an organization, the growth depends on the working of individuals. It means employees efficiency which helps the organization to earn profits. Through good selection process, qualified and skilled candidates can be hired (Karp and Helgø, 2009). Leaders should possess good communication skills. This report has been made on case study provided about PM company where the CEO of the company having the responsibility to oversee overall management of the business. The aim of this report is to show how work of employee, individually and in a team helps the organization to increase productivity and an increase in profit margins.

Task 1

Explain the Importance of Selection and Recruitment Process

Importance of selection and recruitment process is:

Great and Well-Qualified Employees- Through good selection and recruitment process, qualified and skilled candidates can be hired. This in turn helps in meeting the goals of the organization with quality work. Company needs the employees who can adapt themselves to the changing environment (Mendenhall and Osland, 2012). For this organization need to hire candidate who are multitasking and are well qualified. Proper recruitment and selection process can contribute effective competitive role for PM organization to develop effective competitive strategies. Further, it can help the corporation to achieve better profit as comparison of other courier companies in the nation (Cassidy, 2006). In addition to this, it can also aid in increasing efficiency and performance of PM in the market.

Reduction of Cost in Training and Development- Company waste a large number of money and time over training of employees. This affects budget of the company. So with proper selection and recruitment, there can be saving lot of money and time of the company. This can be done with off and on job training methods such as setting virtual lectures and conferences to all the employees together. This can save a lot of time and money. In addition to this, management of PM can select its candidate's from top colleges of UK which can help to reduce their training and development cost. This way, corporation can get skillful applicants to manage its operations (Fox, 2014).

Prepare Documentation to Select and Recruit a New Member of Staff

When selecting and recruiting, certain documents are given to the new staff to be appointed in PM Company. They are:

Employment Contract- It is the written contract which ensures the terms and conditions are clear regarding the job. This letter binds the selected employee to PM organization to give their services. In addition to this, it presents the details of the contract and the salary details of selected staff members.

Verification of Candidates Documents- Management of PM verifies documents of applicants in order to validate its qualification. This is a necessary step to provide job for any type of candidate's as per rules and regulation of government in the organization (Allen and Hartman, 2008).

Candidates Brochure- When employees newly join to PM, they do not know what to do, where there cabin is, and other essential things. These office brochures are actually the guidance to them. This is the main document given to the candidate selected on the very first day (Day, 2014).

Offer Letter- Next comes the offer letter. This is also provided to the new employee by the HR manager of company. This is the letter provided by PM to the best suitable candidate at the time of their joining. This letter contains the basic functioning, policies, rules and regulations that every employee has to follow in the office premises.

Assess the impact of legal, regulatory and ethical considerations to the recruitment and selection process

There is a positive and negative impact of legal, regulatory and ethical grounds to the recruitment and selection process in the UK for PM Company. They are done on the basis of:

Performance and Wage- Every organization gives incentives to its employees on the basis of its performance. In addition to this, management of PM organization provides bonus as well as extra time working pay to all staff members which create effective impact on its image in the market. In addition to this, there are legal laws that safeguard and protect these rights of the individual and work on these legal and ethical grounds. These regulations help PM company to build there goodwill. (Game Theory Assignment Help).It also helps in joining of employees and clients feel safe being the member of PM organization. However, it also increases expenditure and documentation activities which create negative impact to manage its organizational selection and recruitment activities in the organization (O'Leary, 2013).

Equality- It produces positive impact on hiring process of PM organization in the nation. In addition to this, it help to build effective image in the market. Generally, There are many legal laws that safeguard and protect women from all kind of threats such as sexual harassment. So it PM work on these legal and ethical grounds to avoid legal obligations. If the company does not follow these rules, then its goodwill is at stake and then market image of firm can be damaged. It can also affect the performance of the company (Mendenhall and Osland, 2012).

Discrimination- Government of United Kingdom compel the management of United Kingdom to follow the proper rules and regulations regarding discrimination. These policies creates effective impact to select skillful candidate's. If the company does not do discrimination with its employees then it help to increase respect towards the firm (Campbell, 2007) This process also aids to increase its efficiency of PM organization which bring positive impact in the market.

Evaluate own contribution to the selection process

I being a CEO of PM company, my contribution to the selection process will be:

First impressions can be so powerful that most interviewers make judgments regarding a candidate in the first 30 seconds of an interview. I had tried to overcome those first impressions and use well thought-out, structured questions to assess the candidate’s ability to do the job. I was instructed to ask posed questions that can detect how the candidate might act under pressure. I found the best way to do this is to take note of non-verbal communication and body language. The best candidates made eye contact, maintained a straight posture and listen intently.
i have to be as prepared as the interviewer. Before starting the interview, I should carefully review the candidate's cover letter, resume, background information and references. It is important to keep questions focused and relevant so they are tailored to individual job candidates.

Skills and Attributes Needed for Leadership

According to the given case study, PM Company is facing various issues in its administration and leadership management.

Skills for Conflicts Management: PM is a leading courier industry and therefore, there is need for a leader to develop a skill of managing any conflict that arises among team members. Dealing with any of the conflict that arise in the organization is considered as one of the significant attribute and skill of a leader (Chatzoglou, 2008).
