Introduction

As per the observation of Delery and Roumpi (2017), human resource is one of the central
aspects of the development and accomplishments of an organisation. Human resource
management and workforce engagement systems are given more attention in businesses. Human
resource strategies vary for different companies. For the recruiting process, executive training
plans, and retention programmes, various organisations use and incorporate other techniques.
The ultimate goal of these human resource strategies is to increase employee morale,
engagement, and retention. This assignment examines how an organisation's recruiting, and
retention process affects talent acquisition and succession planning. Tesla Motors is selected for
this assignment. Furthermore, the task discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the above
methods in terms of long-term organisational success and policy.

Discussion

According to Dhanpat et al. (2020), human resource is an essential factor of an organisation.

Unlike other resources, human resources are the resources that require proper management and
care. As per the opinion of Guest (2017), human resource management inefficiency would have a
detrimental effect on the organisation's overall performance. As a result, the human resource
department is given a high priority by all organisations. A dedicated HR department that
manages the company's human resources is present in most companies. Recruiting personnel,
coordinating training and learning plans, inspiring, and managing workforce engagement
programmes are all activities that the human resources management department is responsible
for (Kianto et al., 2017).

Hecklau et al. (2016), Illustrates that the human resource management staff serves as a link
between the organisation's management and its workforce at all times. The HR department is
constantly on the lookout for effective and profitable workers to represent the organisation.
Furthermore, the HR department offers appropriate training and learning services to help
employees improve their performance. Jamali et al. (2015) point out that employee productivity
and company growth are inversely related. When an organisation's employee performance
improves, it will enhance the company's success. Employees are more creative and satisfied

when they are motivated and appreciated. The organisation's human resource department focuses
on workforce engagement plans and provides incentives to staff in order to satisfy them and
retain productive workers.

Business case

The recruiting and retention process at Tesla Motors are studied in this assignment. The
company's human resource management earned an outstanding score in their overall results and
substantially improved the company's performance (Chen and Perez, 2018). Tesla Motors' hiring
procedures are standard and almost identical to those of other companies. Applicants need to
provide a CV with their application for work. The HR recruitment committee will review the CV
and contacts. Documented tests and multiple rounds of interviews, such as professional and HR
interviews are part of the process (Eisler, 2016).

According to Moritz et al. (2015), practical training and development programs provided to the
employees help leverage the skills and talents of the employees. To attain the organisational
objectives and targets, the company's HR department fifers motivational programs to motivate
the employees. Through training and development, the employee's engagement and productivity
increases and thus, they become satisfied with the job. Similar to other companies, Tesla aloes
offers several motivational programs to retain their employees. From the observation of Thomas
and Maine (2019), skilled and experienced employees are the company's backbone, where coma
pies value and respect for such contributions. The human resource management team of tesla is
efficient, which provided performance and strategy to the company.
