These aspects include analysis of the requirement of human resource, recruitment, training and development needs, analysis of the performance of the employees and management of the performance of the employees (Alagaraja, 2013).

In this research program, evaluation is done of the impact of HRM functions in the business performance in Australia from the year 2000. Different issues related to the HRM function are being faced by the organizations. Impact of these issues is seen on the performance of the organization. There is a need to adopt effective practices for management of the human resource of the organization. For the better understanding of the different aspects, Hotel Hilton has been chosen. Different approaches and methods have been chosen for assembling of the relevant data.

Objectives are formulated for the purpose of forming a base for the assembling of the relevant data related to the research program. This research program has been conducted with a motive to analyse the role of the HR practices in managing the performance of the organization. Data will be collected regarding the HR practices initiated by Hotel Hilton for coping with the issues related to management of human resources. It is essential to analyze the impact of HR practices on the performance of the organization. Management of the human resource is an important task which ensures the chances of survival and growth of the business.

This research program has focused on the HRM function of an organization as with the change in the business environment; the importance of this function is increasing. Every organization has to manage the human resource of the organization in an effective manner, for overcoming the issues related to human resources.

Challenges faced by organizations in managing human resources

Management of human resource has been considered an important element for every organization. The focus of the organizations is on managing employee relations and rules and regulations related to human resource and workplace. Different laws and regulations have been formulated by the government for ensuring the well-being and safety of the human resource. HRM function focuses on management of human resource and enhancing the performance of the human resource which contributes towards the performance of the organization (Figurska & Matuska, 2013). Hotel Hilton is operating at the global level and is focusing on management of human resource. Training sessions are being conducted by Hotel Hilton for enhancing the performance of the employees. Hotel Hilton has adopted different HRM practices which have created an impact on the performance of the Hotel. These practices include training and development, recruitment and selection, analysis of the performance of the employees, human resource systems and appraisals of the employees (Vlachos, 2009).

These HRM practices have provided benefit to Hilton Hotel by enhancing the effectiveness and performance of the Hotel. The focus of the Hotel is on creating a balance between the work life and personal life of the employees. Hotel Hilton has focused on identification of the training needs and conducting training and development programs. This initiative of Hotel Hilton has enhanced the satisfaction level of the employees by developing their knowledge and skills (Zehira, et. al., 2016). Fair employment practices are being adopted by Hotel Hilton for eliminating the cases of discrimination and motivating the employees. Another important initiative taken by Hotel Hilton is offering compensation and benefits to the employees for enhancing their satisfaction level. This approach has helped in retaining the employees and developing healthy relations with the employees. Feedback is collected from the employees for the analysis of the issues faced by them and taking corrective actions (Zhang, et. al., 2009).

Primary research question

• Which practices are adopted by the organizations for managing human resource?

Secondary research questions

• What is the role of HRM function for an organization?
• Which issues are being faced by the organizations while managing human resource?

Research design/Methodology

Research methodology includes an explanation of the different research methods or approaches considered and adopted for the accumulation of the data. Data collection is an important aspect of the research on which success changes of the research are dependent on. This research has been initiated for the purpose of analysis of the HR management functions and its impact on the performance of the organization. Different aspects have been discussed in relation to Hotel Hilton. HR function is considered as one of the most important functions of the organizations in this challenging and fast-changing business environment. It is crucial for every organization to focus on the human resource of the organization so as to enhance the performance of the organization. Data has been assembled for developing knowledge of these aspects related to the research topic.          

Practices adopted by Hilton Hotel for overcoming HR issues

Research design: qualitative research design is based on exploratory research which will help in gaining clarity of the different aspects attached to the research topic. Knowledge or understanding of the factors, opinions and motivations will be developed with the help of this research method (Kumar, 2011). An insight of the different issues is developed in qualitative research method. In-depth knowledge of the research program is developed with the use of qualitative research method. Data collection process is initiated with the help of unstructured or semi-structured methods of data collection (Smith, 2015). Quantitative research method is used for the purpose of quantifying the issue by generating numerical data related to the research program. Data is collected for the purpose of providing numerical data which will provide reliability to the research program (Quick & Hall, 2015). For the collection of the quantitative data, online surveys, face to face interviews and longitudinal studies are used (Walter, 2013). Qualitative research method will be adopted for the accumulation of data for this research.

Data collection: data collection can be explained as the process of assembling the required data by adopting data collection methods. For the accumulation of the data, primary and secondary data collection methods will be used. The primary method of data collection helps in the assembling of raw form of data which a researcher collects exclusively for the research program (Thomas, 2015). The questionnaire will be prepared for the purpose of collection of primary data for the research program. A secondary method of data collection helps in assembling of the second-hand data which enhances the reliability and authenticity of the research program. Second data has been assembled by other researchers for their research work. When it comes to reliability, secondary data is more preferable (Turkenburg & McAuley, 2013).

Ethical consideration: ethical principles and values act as a guideline for conducting the research program in the right manner by bifurcating between the right and wrong (Kuada, 2012). For the completion of this research program in an ethical manner, few values have been considered. These values include confidentiality for protecting the confidential data of the respondents, fairness for presenting data in fair manner and honesty.

Sampling technique: data collected will be in huge quantity and due to the shortage of time, random sampling technique will be put to use. Random sampling technique will help in the selection of the samples in a fair manner. Random sampling technique is an effective approach, which ensures that equal opportunity is provided to every sample for getting selected (Ibrahim Al-Omari, 2014).

Research Limitations

Research limitations are the factors which can affect the research program. These limitations need to be dealt properly by applying effective strategies or approaches. Research limitations act as issues or challenges which holds the potential to affect the quality of the research program. Various limitations have been identified and considered while executing this research program. These limitations are a limited time period for the completion of the research, lack of availability of sufficient resources and lack of access to data. Effective approaches have been considered for eliminating the negative impact of these limitations
