PLANNING AND FORECASTING PERSONNEL NEEDS

which the firm studies its past employment needs over a period of years to predict future needs. McDonalds has
been operating since a very long time and by now it has full information of where it stands in the minds of
people. No doubt McDonalds has raised its value above mark. McDonalds forecasts its personnel needs
according to what has been the trend of its sales, revenue and labor needs in the past. For this they use two ways
MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES

future requirements.

they will need to work. McDonalds forecasts the need of staffing employees by inside and outside supply of
candidates.
INSIDE SUPPLY OF CANDIDATES
In this forecasting method Information is collected on employees already working within McDonald’s. For this
purpose McDonalds uses Qualification Inventory system.

skills, education, career, performance and other interests. HR requirements of McDonald's may be met by
training and developing current staff rather than recruiting externally
OUTSIDE SUPPLY OF CANDIDATES
After determining the number of employees that can be obtained internally McDonalds searches for the rest
from the outside. For this McDonalds information system plays a vital role. It keeps track of the economic
conditions and employment rate and after that forecasts its external needs accordingly. In this way McDonalds
develops a pool of talent as much as possible so that it can choose best out of it.

Managers use job analysis to determine the job specific activities and performance standards.
“Performance appraisal helps in estimating employee’s current performance, setting work standards and
then providing feedback to employees with the aim of eliminating performance deficiencies”.

PARAMETERS OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL

The performance appraisal is based on the following some of the parameters:
 Ethics
 General Knowledge/ IQ,

PERFORMANCE APPRAISEL METHOD

McDonalds uses the Graphic Rating Scale Method for evaluating the performance appraisal of employees.
GRAPHIC RATING SCALE METHOD
Through the Graphic Rating Scale the head of the department rate the person according to the performance of
its work, skill, knowledge, experience and after the assessment according to the rating scale, rate the employee
as appraised.
Graphic rating scale method involves the following traits:
 Communication
 Personal effectiveness/efficiency
 Teamwork
 Productivity
 Quality of work
 Reliability
In McDonalds employees are rated according to these or more traits. Rated on his/her performance that the
employee is good in communication skills or not, the employee could work independently on its own. The
employee is cooperative with other his/her co-workers. The productivity of work that weather he/she could
work more and proper in less time and finally is the employee is reliable means he/she will work on time
appropriately. Well the graphic rating scale method which McDonalds use is a best and simplest method for
thembecause employees from floor base to managerial level are rated easily. The scale lists the suitable traits or
standards for the employees according to their work or job and they are rated fairly as according to their
performance.

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS PROGRAMS

COMPENSATION METHOD
McDonald uses Broad banding trend of compensation, in this trend wide range of jobs and salary levelsare
represented by Bands. So the employee, whose job falls on one of these grades, gives the pay range listed on
that grade and determines his or her salary. McDonalds has this system of compensation because, broad banding
allows for flexibility in terms of pay, growth and movement.
WHY THEY USING BROADBANDING METHOD
McDonalds is using broad banding method for compensation because it is the most used method by companies
and it is relatively easy to handle. As there are so many jobs and each job has its own description and value so
by making bands of similar jobs and assigning them the appropriate salaries will make easy for McDonalds to
set the pays of employees.
COMPETENCY-BASED PAY
McDonalds don’t apply the Competency-Based Pay Method because in this method pays are established as
according to the performance of employee such as: If a crew member is working according to the level of
manager his performance is equivalent to manger so their pays will be same. But McDonalds pay their
employees according to the job or level. Mangers own different higher pays as compared to worker or Crew
members.
ESTABLISHMENT OF PAY RATES
Why pay rates are established????
It is very difficult to set pay for any organization without conducting pay rates. Pay rates are necessary to define
because it is better for both employer and employee.
FOR EMPLOYER: He sets salaries according to the market or could be more from market and employer get
knowledge about market.
FOR EMPLOYEE: Similar nature of jobs categorized in groups and employee feel secure that he is getting
salary according to market rate or could be more.
PAY RATES IN MCDONALDS
McDonalds follow following steps in establishing of pay rates
A.MCDONALDS SALARY SURVEY
McDonalds conduct salary survey, that what other employers are paying for the same nature of job to there
employees. McDonalds pays more to their employees as compare to market. So, the salary survey is necessary
for establishing pay rates. McDonalds has also given its salary ranges on different jobs in their site.
LOWER LEVEL JOBS: For the lower level jobs like Crew Members or clerical workers McDonalds conduct
a salary survey through Telephone or Internet.
HIGHER LEVEL JOBS: Whereas, for the higher level jobs such as at managerial level a formal survey is
conducted by McDonalds. In McDonalds the employer collects the information from other employers in a form
of questioners, in which he asks about the overtime policies or bonuses, the starting salaries or other increments.
B. JOB EVALUATION :
The second step in establishing pay rates is evaluating jobs or JOB EVALUATION
In Job Evaluation jobs are evaluated or compared with each other on the basis of qualifications, skills,
responsibilities and working conditions. McDonalds follows the Job Classification method of job Evaluation
because they have categorized their
jobs into two main classes known as:
 Part Time Employees
 Full Time Employees
McDonalds evaluate its job on the basis of working hours of their employees more clearly for the crew
members they use the part time job evaluation and for managerial level staff they use full time evaluation

PART TIME EMPLOYEES:

Well for part time employees MacDonald’s pay them on the basis of their working hours means hourly wages.
FULL TIME EMPLOYEES:
The Full Time Working Employees are given salary on monthly basis they are known as permanent employees.
C. GRO UP SIMILAR JOBS INTO PAY GRADES
After job evaluation, McDonalds grouped similar nature of jobs into pay grades for establishing pay rates. As
McDonalds uses the job classification technique so their jobs are already in a grouped form and they establish
pay grades according to part time and full time jobs.
D.PRICING OF PAY GRADES
This step assigns pay rates to pay grades. For assigning pay rates to any level of job, McDonalds uses Wage
Curve which shows the relationship between value of the job and wage price for the job. McDonalds through
wage curve assign pay rates to part time and full time jobs according to the requirement of job. More
specifically according to the job nature of employee such as for part time crew member the pay rate will be
different from full time depending on their work.

EMPLOYEE RELATIONS
In any organization employee relation plays a key role. If the employees of an organization are satisfied it
means that the organization could touch to the heights of success because a satisfied employee will work more
passionately.
COLLECTIVE BARGAININIG
Collective bargaining is a process in which employee’s union and the management negotiates with eachother
and signs an agreement on the labor issues such as pays, benefits, working or other facilities.
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING IN MCDONALDS UNION
There is no such collective bargaining system is McDonalds because McDonalds don’t have a predefined labor
or crew unions. McDonald’s culture supports anti-union concept. When a crew member or any lower level
employee joins the McDonalds he/she have no basic knowledge of Unions, but after working for a period of
time, when they get familiar with the culture of McDonalds they become more firm at anti-union concept. The
former CEO and Chairman of McDonalds Peter Ritchie says “Unions stifleCreativity”; “there is no place for
unions at McDonalds”; “ I have spent my entire life opposing unions”; “I have had some horrible and
stressful fights with union leaders, it’s often very difficult keeping them out”
McDonalds has a well systematic pay rates, benefits and employee needs program so when a new employee
comes to join McDonalds they define every single policy, values, culture and employee benefits or
compensation programs. So he employee working in McDonalds is well-aware of their procedure of employee
relations. More precisely, when McDonalds hire an employee they make

every thing clear and if the employee agrees to work in such environment than they allow him to work.
PAY- RELATED BARAGAINING IN MCDONALDS
Unions play an important role in pay-related issues. Most of the time employees are not satisfied with their
pays. So they create problems, although many different agreements are signed between employees and
management. But as in McDonald’s there are no such unions so the problem related to pay to employees would
be that if a crew member do wage bargaining with employer individually In McDonalds most of the employees
don’t favor for this method because they typically believe that
such strategies would be:
 Bad for morale
 Difficult to administer
 More time consuming
 Encourage discrimination or favoritism
Although on other hand some employees believe that it should be done on the basis of:
On-the-job performance or workplace effort.
Like if an employee performs well his/her pay should be increased through individual bargaining, that the
employee himself should demand for more pay.
But the management or managers of McDonalds believe that pay is not a subject on which employees negotiate
individually, because according to them they have no discretion to enter into such arrangements that involve
altering individual crew or small group wages on the grounds of performance. In McDonalds when employee is
recruited they specially discuss the terms and conditions about the pays and negotiation issues on pays.

EVALUATION OF HR POLICIES AND PRACTICES OF MCDONALDS

The policies and practices of McDonalds which we discussed above in the report are according to our literature
all their strategies of HR meet up with are literature of course because during interview we asked all their HR
practices according or comparing to our literature.
SUGGESTIONS
After critically evaluating the HR Functions of McDonald’s we recommend the following suggestions
according to the each section of HR: JOB ANALYSIS: For job analysis we recommend that McDonalds should
also include Performance
Standards and Human Requirements which would help them more in making job description and
specification.
JOB DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATION: Well their job description and specification is not clear they
have intermingled it. In Job Description they have written about the skills required in an employee not about the
duties he/she would have to perform. Similarly in Job Specification they have just written general information
not about the skills and personality traits.
PLANNING AND FORECASTING: In planning and forecasting McDonalds is using trend analysis method
for personnel needs but according to our opinion Computerized Forecast should be used because McDonalds is
a large organization and they should estimate their need of employees through computerized system it would be
easier for them.
TESTING : All over McDonalds has a good formal testing system but in our view for crew members specially
who deal with customer care area a Communication Skill Testshould be taken which includes testing of accent,
language, talking way and facial expression of employees.
INTERVIEW: McDonalds should also ask Behavioral Questions from the candidates so by knowing their past
experience they could judge their attitude and mental abilities more accurately.
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS: For the employees at lower level like crew members, a proper Medical
Check-up after every month should be provided to them and their pays should be increased comparing to the
economic conditions of country. For higher level employees a Life-insurance policy should be made.
