Dear Student, thank you for your blog. For this assignment you need to answer the task of Assignment 2 with the focus being on HR PLANNING in particular. You only need to give a short background of the company and then research the topic of HR PLANNING and review McDonald's challenges, issues and practices in relation to planning, whether it be about staffing, culture, retention, training etc. And you need to critically analyse this and make recommendations. When you do your main assignment make sure you have a clear structure and that your arguments flow. Where are your sources and references?

(Millmore et al 2007)
