In this stake holder oriented business environment it is being found that employees are the key asset for the orgnisation. There is fact that like other assets such as building, machinery and other plants and tools, employees are the human assets without which an organizationcan’t run its business.

Task-1

1.1 Differentiate between personnel management and human resource management?

Personnel management is the process of management in which individual employees and their way of working are managed in order to develop efficiency in the working style of the company. It is being understood that personnel management is the department who exit in the orgnisation so that it could advice instruct line managers in personnel matters in better manner. Personnel management is the separate department like any other department but it’s mainly focus on how employees are managed and working in different department. Personnel management is the process of planning, organizing, integration and management of employees for the contribution of the organization (Doaeoi. et. Al., 2012).

There is ample amount of difference between personnel and human resource management which is given below.

• Function- Personnle management is comprised of activities such as development, mangnement and employment of the employees in the business where as Human resource management works around the framing policies and plans for the betterment of the orgnisation and employees.

Whereas HRM department is the trustee for the orgnisation not for employees. It helps company to manage good working enviorment and how problems concerned with human resorce management could be trouble shoot.
• Approches- Personnel management is the traditional approach to discharge the work in order to keep the better mangment of the employees. Whereas HRM is concerned with the sophisticated way of working style so that employee’s problems such as employee’s turnover, production cost, and other matters could be handle.
• Authority- Personnel management department is accompanies with less power to take decisions. It has to work around the orders given by the promoters and top management. On the other hand HRM department is the highest authority in mangmenet of employees concern. It is coupled with the solemen power to manage employee’s related concern in the orgnisation.
• Uses by Organization- Hotel Park follow the Personnel management process in order to tackle employee’sconcern in suitable manner. At the same time Hotel Marriote being the leader in the hospitality industry has a separate department of HRM in order to handle employees concern.
• Main objectives- Personnel management in Park classic focus on administrative activitis and its real concerned. On the other hand HRM department of Hotel Marriote focus on the employees welfares and problems which could arise at the work place.

It is the fact that organization is the complex set of activities and several numbers of people works for the common objectives in order to accomplish their personnel goal at the same time. Human resource management helps orgnisation in various styels so that it could achieve its objectives and goals in easy and suitable manner (Mariappanadar  & Kramar 2014).

Helps in reduction of employees turnover- HRM department is mainly engaged in troubleshooting employee’s problems and their key concerned in the workplace. Hotel Marriott is the leader group of company in orgnisation and it has to keep maintain the quality of services at world wide HRM department keeps employees sustain in company and also motivate others to join the organization in effective manner (Leak, et. Al., 2016).

• Framing policies and procedure of working style- HRM department is comprised of different key persons who are highly qualified in their fields. Promoters group in their board meeting allows their HRM deparment head to contribute their gracious advice for the better functioning of the process system in the long run.
• Helps in generation of quality of personnel for the organization- HRM department is the mangment system which helps organization to identify and recruited the quality of employees in the business. It also helps employees in several manner so that they could their own goal could be linked with that of organization.

It is not possible in big organization by the HRM department to keep consistence watch over all the process function. Therefor line manager works as a separate department in organization (Baczy?ska, 2015). In this development and enhancing working style organization is making consistent efforts to develop their business plans so that they could drive their expected results in the long run. Lots of branches and business places are being oppend by the hotel Marriote in order to expand its business Chanel worldwide. In this present era it becomes hard for the HRM department to keep proper understanding upon the each and every subsidires and alliance department. There for this inresing need Line mangaer role is being developed. It is the person who takes all the responsibilities to handle works in its own process line. He checks the all the tactical decision which are concered with the daily routine activities in the  business organisation . In Hotel Marriot there is find following roles which is played by the line manager in order to make proper functioning in the process cycle (Heiskanen & Jokinen 2015).

• Proper Management of employees- Line manager is the person who has ample amount of information regard with its own process chain. Top managers leave all the administrative powers in the hand of Line manage so that they could take all the tactical decision for the better management of employees (Heiskanen, &Joined, 2015).
• Decide pay roll and salary of the employees- HRM department or other authority are mainly engaged in deciding polices and framework. It is the line manager who keeps watch upon the all employees and their working performace. He measures the caliber and efficiency of different employees in the process and forwards the data to other higher authority to determine the pay roll of different employees.
• Handle all the administrative works and other assigned work- Line manager is concerned with performing tactical steps which are repetitive in nature and provide guidance and direction to employees so that they could perform well in the long run.

• Creation of positive environment- Line manager helps process team to create a positive and effective working environment. It generates such environment so that employees could be motivated with their own efforts.

Government has taken efforts in today environment where various malfunctioning has been found by the organization and other persons against employees by issuing and circulating laws and notification. There are number of laws and act which helps employees to protect their interest in the long run. In U.K. number of Quasi-judicial bodies and court which handle the cases related corporate sectors.  Various laws and regulation which should be complied by the orgnisation for the betterment of the society and stakeholders are as follows (Donham. 2014).

• Sex discrimination act1945- All the rules and regulation read with various laws and statue depicts that employees in the orgnisation should never be discriminated on the basis of cast, race, sex, gender. If any of the persons or management groups is found to be involved in such steps then they might face imprisonment and fine for the same.
• Disability discrimination act 2005- With the newly notified rules and notification passed by the U.K. government there should not be any kind of discrimination at the work place if any of the employees is impaired with organs. Hotel Marriott has many employees who are not able to walk and run in this special lift and bathrooms are arranged and other beneits are also given to such employees.
