It is very important for businesses such as Tesco to manage their resources and
control their budget costs, as Tesco is a large business with many stores
around UK. So they need to be able to manage their budgets properly and
keep track of all the expenses and revenue, this way the business will avoid
running into any issues and keep their good reputation. It is extremely
important for businesses to manage their resources, such as people,
equipment, materials etc. ‘’About two-thirds of business survive two years in
business, half of all businesses will survive five years, and one-third will survive
10.’’ This shows that a lot of start-up businesses fail, the first few years are the
hardest which is why businesses have to manage their resource properly and

their experience, customers would be more likely to enjoy their experience if
they walk into the store and know that they can ask for help, happy customers
would lead to more sales which will help improve the performance of the
organisation. ‘’Human resource management is a process to manage people
within an organization. Since employees are the most valuable asset for any
organization, HR’s focus on developing strategies to improve employee
experience remains in high priority.’’ Tesco also needs to involve their
employees more with the business process, for example in the decision making
and planning. ‘’Companies who have formalized employee engagement
