Skills and Competency Levels
People professionals are supposed to have an understanding of uniqueness of their skills which every person introduces and the areas gaps are found (Sinha, 2023). For Clean Quarter case, Jaspreet and Caroline would require sales assistants to have expertise for customer services and experiences by use of their system. They are supposed to be assessing competencies of all the applicants in the identified areas, posing questions on past roles or practical tests made. Motivation Level Considering the Maslow Hierarchy of Needs, there are both intrinsic and extrinsic motivators. Establishing a highly supportive environment with employees having a feel of high-level value, autonomy in their job functions, obtaining timely feedback and noting likelihood of growth could increase motivation (Hosni, 2023). For Clean Quarter, questions pertaining to expectations of the applicants and interests in sourcing of plastic free products establish fitness of the organisation values. Clarity of Organisation Goals Communication goals scope beyond an appreciation of scope in which it links to and support the larger image. Through regular reviews, this facilitate people professionals in evaluating how aligned their goals are and perform any adjustment when priorities are supposed to be changed (LinkedIn, 2023). Considering Jaspreet and Caroline, they need to make sure their sales assistants are understanding their set goals of generating plastic-fee products with emissions lowered. In the interview phase, newly hired individuals would go through a discussion on their appreciation of the goals and their achievement. Taking into account of the 3 different factors, they assist in recruiting sales assistants in Clean Quarter with appropriate skills, being motivated and understand the organisation mission. The outcome of this is maximising staff and organisation performance level from start.

Solution Permanent, full-time contracts Permanent, full-time contracts for delivery drivers offer both benefits and drawbacks, making their suitability dependent on ParcelCare’s operational needs and goals. Pros Permanent, full-time contracts provide job security and consistent income for delivery drivers, enhancing employee satisfaction and loyalty. This stability can lead to higher motivation and productivity, reducing turnover rates and the associated costs of recruitment and training as evidenced by Personio (2023). Full-time contracts also facilitate better workforce planning, ensuring ParcelCare has reliable staffing to meet delivery demands. Cons However, these contracts can be less flexible and more costly for the company. Full-time employees typically require benefits such as health insurance, paid leave, and retirement plans, increasing operational expenses. Additionally, the rigidity of permanent contracts may not align with fluctuating delivery volumes, leading to inefficiencies during low-demand periods. Suitability For ParcelCare, full-time contracts can be suitable if delivery volumes are consistently high, ensuring a stable workforce. However, a mixed model that includes part-time or flexible contracts might offer the necessary flexibility to adapt to changing demands while controlling costs. Part-Time Contracts Part-time contracts offer flexibility for delivery drivers, allowing them to balance work with other commitments. Drivers benefit from a stable income, albeit at reduced hours, while ParcelCare can adjust staffing levels according to demand. A significant advantage of part-time contracts is reduced costs associated with employee benefits, as part-time workers may not qualify for full benefits packages (Abogados, 2019). However, part-time drivers may lack the same commitment or availability as full-time employees, potentially impacting reliability and consistency. Zero-Hours Contracts Zero-hours contracts provide maximum flexibility, allowing ParcelCare to scale staffing up or down based on delivery demand without a fixed commitment to provide hours (CIPD, 2023c). For drivers, these contracts offer freedom to accept or decline work, appealing to those seeking flexibility. However, they also result in income uncertainty and lack of guaranteed hours, which can be challenging for drivers seeking stability. For ParcelCare, zero-hours contracts minimise costs during low-demand periods but may lead to difficulties in maintaining a loyal and consistent workforce due to potential driver dissatisfaction. Part-time contracts are most suitable for ParcelCare’s delivery drivers. They offer a stable income and consistent work schedule, which can enhance job satisfaction and reliability while allowing ParcelCare to adjust staffing levels as needed. This balance supports both operational needs and employee stability. Please click the following icon to access this assessment in full
