Human Resource Management
History and
introduction
of
McDonald’s:
McDonald's has come a long way since Ray Kroc laid
down the foundation of the Company in 1954. Story goes that Ray Kroc
mortgaged his home and invested his entire life savings to become the
exclusive distributor of a five-spindled milk shake maker called the
Multimixer. Hearing about the McDonald's hamburger stand in California
running eight Multimixers at a time, he packed up his car and headed
West. Ray Kroc pitched the idea of opening up several restaurants to the
brothers Dick and Mac McDonald (hence the name), convinced that he
could sell eight of his Multimixers to each and every one.
McDonald's today is one of the largest and the best known global food
service retailer with more than 30,000 restaurants in 121 countries serving
47 million customers each day. McDonald’s serves less than one percent
of the world’s population. McDonald’s outstanding brand recognition,
experienced management, high quality food, advanced operational
systems and unique global infrastructure ensure a position that enables
them to capitalize on global opportunities.

McDonald’s is part of the Lakson group of companies, a
leading business in Pakistan. McDonald’s first restaurant has opened its
door to the people of Pakistan in September 1998 in Lahore. Karachi
opened its first restaurant after one week. There are now 18 restaurants in
four major cities of Pakistan: 7 in Karachi, I in Hyderabad, 9 in Lahore and
1 in Faisalabad since the company first opened its doors to the people of
Pakistan.
This launch was met with unprecedented enthusiasm form the citizens of
Lahore who are known for their liveliness, vigor and penchant for quality
food. Today millions of Pakistanis place their trust in McDonald’s to
provide them best quality food, quick service and value for money. World
famous French fries, Big Mac, Quarter Pounder, Chicken McNuggets and
egg McMuffin are not only kids' favorites but also lure in the customers of
all ages. McDonald’s is firmly committed to give back to the community
where it operates. They are happy to become involved because they
recognize that organizations have a role to play in helping communities to
work successfully.
1. Be the best employer for people in each community around the world.
2. Deliver optional excellence to customers in each restaurant.
3. Achieve enduring profitable growth by expanding the brand and
leveraging the strengths of McDonald’s system through innovation and
technology.

HRM in
McDonald’s:
Equal
Employment
Opportunity
Laws
Job Analysis:
McDonald’s is divided in to five regions in the world, which are further
divided into sub regions. As this organization is internationally owned,
so all its decision is taken from the head office, but they are somehow
changed to suit the different cultural backgrounds of the region.
As an organization is known by its well groomed and intelligent staff at
to support and maintain its best quality at every level, So McDonald is
also very careful when hiring for an employee. For that reason, its HR
department is very efficiently working to make sure the best is hired.
Here 95%of the workforce is restaurant based while 5%of it is in the
official running of the organization.
McDonalds is a responsible company, who believes on EEO laws and is
an equal opportunity employer committed to a diverse work force.
McDonalds might be a global business but it is made up of individuals,
everyone of whom brings their own unique skills and qualities to the
team. There is no limit to how far you can progress here without gender
discrimination.
As HR activities grow in scope and complexity, many duties, such as
recruitment and selection, performance appraisals, training, discovering
unassigned duties are delegating to the HR department. But HR
specialist does not know the details of job as well as operating managers
do. Knowledge about job and their requirement must be collected
through a process known as job analysis.

to perform. Then after 6 months all the employees are evaluated that
whether they come up to our standards or not. An OJE (on- job-

employee does not perform well then feedback is provided to them so
they can improve.

The operative philosophy of the McDonald's system is based on the Quality,
Service, Cleaning and Value for 44 years. The company offers a standard
menu, although it develops in each culture special products that are adjusted
to the pleasure of the community. McDonald's is successful because it has a
system of corporate norms and individual opportunities, to all the Franchises
they are integrated in the same philosophy of values and clear expectations.
McDonald's guides all the actions according :
to organizational values as working in team,
to feel passion for the work always offering the best of themselves,
to be committed with the partners and with the mission of the
company,
to be entire in each one of the actions, to be leaders.
No doubt McDonald's is a huge giant size organization but it also need some
improvements which are
• McDonald's must start its services for customers as well as product.
• Job enlargement and job enrichment should be applied for retention
of employees.
• There should be more than one feedback session for improvement of
performance of employees.
• Recruitment must be conducted for higher posts also to select more
skilled persons.
• There should be proper and flexible arrangements for training of
