1. ORGANISATIONAL HR STRATEGIES OF MC'D AND BURGER KING

2. INTRODUCTION
HR STRATEGY
• HR strategy is a roadmap for solving an
organization’s biggest challenges with people-
centric solutions. This approach requires HR input
during policy creation and elevates the importance
of recruitment, talent-
management, compensation, succession planning
and corporate culture.

3. IMPORTANCE
• Without strategy behind it, HR remains an administrative function
and business growth may be hindered. Consider, for instance, two
different companies that would like to expand into new markets.
• One of them is strategic and gives HR a seat at the table from the
very beginning. It researches locations that would be the most
advantageous from an employment standpoint and then develops a
long-term plan for networking highly-qualified, passive candidates in
the chosen regions.
• The other company takes transactional approaches to solving
problems. Instead of including HR in its expansion discussions, it
delegates a hiring manager to recruit candidates without knowing if
the desired talent exists in that market or if the employment rules
add a significant number of unexpected obstacles.

BURGER KING

beings training programs with the one hour
of orientation. Each branch of McDonald has
their own video set ups and technological
resources which helps in the description of
the operations and practices to the
employees. So, it is everyone’s job to involve
in the ongoing training process of
MacDonald. Thus, all the employees receive
induction training with the followed
structured development program based on
the employee position. After completing the
initial training, all the employees have to
pass Observation check list (OCL) to become
successful in the particular area. However,
every employee of McDonalds in the start is
stayed at the 21 days of probationary period
which in evaluating the performance of the
employees.
