Brexit has acted as an uncertainty which has resulted into slow process in the recruitment and selection practices for the multinational companies which are working in Canary Wharf.

These measures or recommendations are discussed as follows:

• Audit of the workforce: the employers of the multination organisations working in Canary Wharf need to conduct audit of the work force of the organisations so as to ascertain the number of employees who are localities or who are from the other countries. This will help the organisation to identify the ratio of the work force of the organisations (Hetzner, 2015).
• Communication with the work force: the employers need to communicate with the employees about the British exit so as to identify or to address the issues faced by the employees or by the work force or to address the concern of the employees related to British exit. This will help in communicating in a proper manner with the workforce of the organisation and the concern they are having due to the British exit.
• Employee support strategy: employers of these organisations which are working in Canary Wharf need to provide support to the work force of the organisation with the help of support strategies so as to deal with the situation. The employers can help the employees in getting the nationality of United Kingdom so as to stay in the country and continuing the jobs and their routine life (Hetzner, 2015).

Question 2: Using at least one key schools of thought on strategic Human resource management (for example, David Guest, Harvard model, Michigan model), discuss how people resourcing function can be strategically managed to align human resource management and business objectives. Consider one element of people resourcing as an example (e.g. job analysis, resource planningand retention).

For the purpose of resource planning and retention function for aligning with human resource management and business objectives, Harvard model of human resource management has been used. There are six components in Harvard model of human resource management. These components include situation factors, interest of stakeholder, human resource management policy choices, human resource outcomes, long-term consequences and feedback loop with the help of which the output directly flows into the organisation and to the stakeholders.

For the purpose of resource planning and retention, there is a need to use these six components of the model. Human resource management need to analyse the situation of the internal as well as external factors of the organisation so as to analyse the requirement of the workforce and availability of the human resource for the execution of the activities of the organisation (Brunetto, et. al., 2011). It helps in analysing the present as well as future need of the  employee relationship  in the organisation and estimating the ways through which the need of the human resource of the organisation can be met. Stakeholder interest need to be evaluated for the resource planning and retention as the stakeholders of an organisation includes employees, management, shareholders, investors or creditors.

Organisation need to choose the human resource management policies which helps in proper and effective planning of the human resource for the organisation and retention of the employees which enhances the performance of the organisation. The main motive behind using this model of human resource management is to improve the performance of the organisation by the development of the different aspects of the organisation. Humanresource management of the organisation need to evaluate the human resource outcomes of these steps over the human resource planning and retention. These outcomes show the results of the human resource policies or of the other steps of the Harvard model (Schutte, et. al., 2015). These steps have a long-term impact over the performance of the organisation as well as provide support to the organisation and reduce the cost, time and efforts of the organisation as it helps in the retention of the human resource. Resource planning and retention helps the organisation to deal with the uncertainties or the adverse situations arising in front of the business.

This model helps in establishing a healthy relationship between the organisation and the employees as the communication between both the parties get increased. Organisation focuses over the issues faced by the employees at the workplace and finding the measures which helps in the retention of the employees in the organisation. And it also helps the organisation to collect feedbacks from the employees about the policies of the organisation (Schutte, et. al., 2015).
