The purpose of the Human Resource Department is to act as an oversight on the employees and report to the employer thus acting as a bridge between them. This is essentially because they get to enforce the employer’s desires and goals. They are purposed with the recruiting, training, promotion and ultimately firing of the workforce.

Human resource bare the task of being the facilitators of the implementation of the company’s strategic objective as they are the ones in charge of the employees. The need to ensure that the employee performance is at its best and everyone is doing their part in the full realization of the bigger picture. As such the Human Resource Department will therefore be instrumental in the successful implementation of the company’s game plan.

The business might be willing to attract the right people in the organization. This is a strategy plan that the business may use to ensure its activities are done effectively. Human resource has to play a vital role in ensuring the right individuals are paid accordingly.

Due to the fact that Maersk transformed from a family owned business to a global conglomerate it brought up a couple of challenges. The company is built on the basis of total loyalty and it has been struggling hard to adapt. The expansion led to the need for more recruitment and that has caused the Human Resource Department to adapt. This adaptation has not been easy and it is proving even more difficult because the small circle of close knit individuals who were friends before workers is currently being replaced with a larger workforce of over 400 new employees per year.

In the spirit of trying to preserve the original framework and ethics that made the Danish company a success they have sought to rehire some of their old employees as the new once don’t seem to seat. Sometimes in order to go back one needs to move forward is to go back and that is what the Human Resource Manager is delving into. It has become paramount that money and advancement is what other company’s are using to get young skilled laborers and thus in the end they have resorted to go back to the loyal and experienced ex employees. These will offer experience and since they are older and have history with the company they will impossible to poach.

Internal and external recruitment and selection are both approaches in which organization uses to promote individuals to fill the posion that is required by the company .Internal recruitment and selection is where the organization promotes employees within the company to fill the position needed.In most cases,the company uses,emails,fliers,job posting board to advice the existing employees on the position they may vie for in the organization.

External recruitment and selection is where the human resource search for employees outside its own employees to fill the position needed.This is mostly done by advertising their job vacants in newspapers,job search websites.This can be due to the task needed to be completed by an external employees within a specific time at a certain fee.

Maersk has been recruiting its employees who alighned by the organization vision and goals by following the equal employment opportunities law in hiring candidate for a certain department.This is by ensuring that no discrimination is taken during the process.This has helped Maersk to avoid problems pertaining to legal complexities and law suits in the process of hiring candadates. The process of recruitment starts with submission of documents online by candidates and when this is done,a confirmation pop-up appears on the screen.The human resource group will reply the application in few days after the review of application based on some standard tools to make sure that the eligible candidate is selected for an interview.

The recruitment for Maersk is very effective since it has a wide coverage to allow candidate from different places to access their employment opportunities.The process of sending candidate documents is not costly since the candidates have to send their document online.This process also is very convienient to candidate since the documents cannot be misplaces or taken to the wrong place since they use their website.It also gives human resource hamble time to sort the document using their standard tools.

However,apart from their effectiveness,the organization has no retention strategies since some employees leave the company without notice of human resource who may be planning to give them promotions.This strategies are very important to the company and I recommend that the company to be informing the existing employees on existing promotions to avoid loosing productive employees.On the employement success,they should only list the group of candidate who they are sure of since its could bring a bad image to the company if the candidate travels from a distant only to be told that he/she is not qualified.This will make most of the professionals be afraid to attend the distant interviews.Due to the technological advancement,I recommend they make use of video conferencing to interview candidate from far so as to avoid inconvienience for the candidates.
