Please read the answer of the previous student & if the answer seems well developed don't use the same KN in your answer, try to give new one.

[Shuraim Arif]

(KN) One function could be recruitment and selection.
(APP) In a highly competitive market, it is extremely important to constantly innovate to have a competitive edge over the market, which is why, effective recruitment and selection would help a mobile manufacturing company acquire employees that bring new ideas about how products can be developed faster and better than competitors.
(AN) This would lead to the business having an edge over the market in the form of USP, meaning they could charge higher for products that competitors haven't introduced yet. This would lead to higher sales, therefore leading to a higher net profit, allowing more cash to be reinvested into the business.
(AN+) This would mean that there would be higher investments into departments like R&D, that would help innovate newer and better products.
(KN) Another function of HR could be training and development.
(APP) Since technology in a mobile manufacturing company changes rapidly, it is important to keep up with new software and machinery etc. Therefore, it is important to train employees to keep them up to date.
(AN) Training them would mean workers would become far more efficient and make a lot less mistakes. Furthermore, a better quality product would be guaranteed, making customers a lot more happy after receiving the product.
(AN+) This would mean there would be an increase in the number of loyal customers for the business, leading to a greater amount of cash flowing into the business, meaning loans with high amounts of interests could be avoided later on.

HRM ensures the business has the right number of employees with the right skills at the right time. For example, a mobile manufacturer in a highly competitive market must plan how many designers and workers are needed for upcoming phone launches. When workforce planning is done, the business ensures it always has workers with updated skills, making it easier to introduce new technology and stay competitive in the dynamic market. Having skilled workers would also allow them to make upgrades internally rather than outsourcing, which would mean that in the long run product development could be faster.

HRM function also uses reward management which involves setting fair pay and offering bonuses to keep employees motivated. For example, in a highly competitive mobile market HR may offer bonuses for meeting production targets or rewards for manufacturing. This offering makes them have consistent performance because they know their work will be recognised and they would earn more. This also makes them focus on achieving the company’s objectives. It also reduces the chances of careless mistakes, meaning higher quality products are ensured which would later result in a strong brand image. This would attract more customers and raise their profits and form a loyal customer base.

(KN)
One function of HRM is performance management, which involves checking how well employees are doing and giving feedback to improve performance.

(APP)
For example, at Apple, HR regularly reviews engineers and production staff to make sure phones are designed and assembled efficiently, and to identify areas for improvement.

(AN)
Firstly, monitoring performance helps employees understand what is expected and where they can improve.
Secondly, it encourages higher productivity because employees want to meet targets.
Thirdly, it identifies top performers who can be rewarded or given promotions, motivating the whole team.

(AN+)
As a result, Apple can maintain high-quality production, ensure deadlines are met, and keep employees motivated all of which are crucial to compete effectively in a fast-moving mobile market.

Point 2: Employee Relations

(KN)
Another function of HRM is managing employee relations, which means keeping good communication, resolving conflicts, and ensuring a positive work environment.

(APP)
For example, Apple HR ensures smooth communication between engineers, designers, and assembly staff to avoid misunderstandings or disputes that could slow down production.

(AN)
Firstly, good relations reduce workplace conflicts and disruptions.
Secondly, it helps employees feel valued and supported, increasing loyalty.
Thirdly, positive employee relations improve teamwork, leading to more efficient production and faster problem-solving.

(AN+)
In the long run, strong employee relations help Apple retain skilled staff, maintain productivity, and protect its reputation as a top employer, which is vital in a highly competitive market where skilled workers are in high demand.

[Shayan Sikander]

(K)one function in hiring workers for operations.(App) some public armed forcescarrying out offensive- the desertion and death rate is high so HR department tasked with hiring so and so soldiers monthly or school with turnover high- so tasked with hiring for students leaving as low teachers.(An) leads easier to carry long term plans(as labour available)- means objective or goal achieved-like profit, market share etc. (An+)long run there is easier remain amongst rivals as objectives completed means focus new-quick rate of progress.

[Mashal Umair Niazi]

KN: HRM can ensure team working in the business
APP: Example a mobile manufacturer may have the goal to manufacture 100 mobiles a week, which HRM splits into duties e.g. packaging team has 100 boxes prepared, engineers know they have to manufacture and needs these many components, etc.
AN: Therefore this allows the different teams in the business to remain connected and work in a smooth flow therefore increasing efficiency, wasting less time, and reducing any hurdles for the business which could be detrimental in the high competition. Furthermore it allows the teams to remain motivated as their tasks are clearly stated (no ambiguity) therefore allowing them to work better and therefore improving quality of the product as well
AN+: Furthermore this allows the company to fulfill its objectives at a faster rate than their competitors hence allowing them to expand their objectives easily therefore allowing more growth in the market.

KN: HRM can ensure a work-life balance for the employees
APP: Example in a highly competitive market the mobile manufacturer may be required to produce 150-200 phones a week to remain in the market.
AN: Therefore instead of the business making employees stay overtime which would reduce their efficiency due to longer work hours and may in the long run become tedious and reduce motivation, the HRM will ensure that the employees are given adequate breaks etc. therefore making them more productive and allow the buisness to remain competitive and not face problems like employee's going on strike due to longer working hours, etc.
AN+: Furthermore this will lead to a positive media image of the business interms of good worker care which creates a unique factor for the business which is critical in the competitive enviorment
