III- PROBLEM STATEMENT:
About investigations which are done in Parkhotel, five problems are found. These are;
1- Recruitment, training and development: It is the first two criteria of HRM. Recruitment
is the main research process. It is divided in to two parts; internal and external recruitment.
To fill the job vacancies from within the business, where existing employees are selected
rather than employing someone from outside, it is called internal recruitment (simple
meaning is full time workers are recruited). And to fill the job vacancies from outside the
business (Contrast with internal recruitment) it is called external recruitment (simple
meaning is part time workers are recruited). The external recruitment consists of four main
elements which are the standard processes that are accepted in service industry. First one is
hiring standard to get the answer of what the company wants. Second is the target market
to find which market the company competes in and hire employees through this. Third one
is source of recruitment to find the answer of for what purpose the company wants to hire
an employee and the last one is cost to find the amount of investment for searching
employee. In B*ƒ‘*…’y*ƒ‘*…’khanl*ƒ‘, there is an external recruitment system in used.
Because of, it is cheaper than the internal recruitment and the other advantage is these
employees have more technical and skilled. But this application has disadvantages which
are ignored in generally. This is not notice on the technical and skilled part. Just low cost is
important for the company. Other disadvantage is attracting, contacting and evaluating
between the employees are difficult. Also adjustment and orientation time is longer than
internal recruitment.
For this problem there are two alternatives; first one of them is internal recruitment, the
second alternative is do not change the existing system (external recruitment). Internal
recruitment is more costly than external recruitment but by the internal recruitment
employees contacting, attracting, and evaluating with each other is more suitable for their
duties. This suitability provides to work with the experienced employee and more
efficiency and effectiveness for the company in long term. But this is not enough to change
the system into internal recruitment; with this system company should use training and
development. It helps managers to know about required information related with the
employees and their activities. It is for to perform effectively. It consists of three main
elements; first one is conducting to guide the employees in the right way, second one is
