HRM Perspectives and Policies of Sainsbury’s
Executive Summary
This report on Sainsbury’s represents a look at the chain’s HRM policies in today’s context that represents a complex series of areas that include not only the time-honored aspects of employee motivation, training, career development, instilling loyalty and competitive compensation packages, but it also represents more. Today’s HRM arena has a high degree of complex considerations that include the desire of individuals to have a meaningful work-life balance as well as their right to express their individualities as represented by cultural, reglious diversity, sexual orientation and other areas.
The understandings required to craft HRM policies that recognise and deal with contemporary issues represents a challenge in maintaining a pulse beat on social as well as legal developments. This depth of understanding and connection was uncovered in this assessment of Sainsbury’s that delves into its HRM policies. It was found that despite the chain being number two in terms of the market position it occupies the top spot regarding HRM assessment that is confirmed not only by this report but also by its CNBC ranking and glassdoor former employee postings. In terms of the four UK supermarket chains reviewed, Sainsbury’s has the most comprehensive and socially tuned HRM set of programmes.
