Marks and Spencers Human Resource Management would have to be very efficient and resourceful so that all of their responsibilities are carried out well and smoothly. Human Resource Management is the management of the people within a business, by recruiting, training and retaining employees with the necessary skills and competencies to perform their jobs effectively.

Human Resource Planning (H.R.P) - this looks at how many employees the business will need in the future, as well as the kind of employee that will be needed (e.g. graduate trainees, skilled-manual and supervisors). H.R.P. also ensures that the 'right ' employee is in the 'right ' job, to ensure the most efficiency and success of the employees. As Marks and Spencers is quite a large company there will be lots of staff turnover and new recruits quite often.
Recruitment and selection of new employees - The recruitment and selection procedure starts when the business realises that there is a job, which needs to be filled. A job description is written out, this outlines the job title, as well as the tasks and the responsibilities that will be covered by the successful interviewee. The H.R.M. department need to advertise the job in newspapers, job centres, job agencies, the internet, radio, and internal notice-boards, so they can get as many people as possible to apply for the job. The job will probably be advertised inside the business as well. The advantages of employing someone from within the business are, that a shorter training and induction period is necessary, as well as far less time and money being spent.
