 Wal-Mart, founded by Sam Walton in 1962. One of the world largest companies by market

capitalization There are more than 7,800 Wal-Mart stores. 2 million associates serving more than 100 million customers per year.

 Walmart employs about 1%

of the working population in the U.S. that's about 1.5 million people. To put that in perspective, that's more than the entire populations of Iceland, Monaco and Macau combined. If Walmart were a country then its world rank by economy would be 19th.

 Walmart are one of the most diverse employers in

America with more than 815,000 females, 225,000 African Americans. 150,000 Hispanics and 235,000 seniors age 55 and older. Wal-Marts total U.S. workforce is more than 60 percent female and 32 percent minority.

 Sam Walton realized that people working

for his company were his most important asset, he always credited Wal-Mart's employees for the success of his company. He called Wal-Mart's HR Department, The People Division rather than the Human Resources Department. He felt job of HR was the job of every manager in the company.

The Hiring Process at Walmart

From

Application to Interview to Orientation

 Walmart has a larger, diverse field of

job candidates to choose from. People who have never considered applying at the retail giant are now putting their applications in. If you are one of the many people considering applying, here is a summary of what to expect. And maybe this will help you along and give you a kind of "heads up".
***TIP*** Walmart

ONLY hires part-time help now. That means 32 hours a week or less. Once you are hired you can become full-time once you "kind of prove yourself" as a good employee. Usually sometime after your first 90 days of employment.

 Walmart only excepts online applications. So you

can do this at home, or you can go to a Walmart location and use one of their hiring kiosks. There is usually one near Customer Service, and one near the back of the store. The Walmart website will ask you to create an account with a password. Once you are logged on, it will ask you to put in all the necessary information you normally put in when applying for a job including your work history, jobs that you are applying for and your work availability.
***TIP*** The more jobs or departments you are willing to work for, the better. Also the more hours and days you are available to work the better also.

 Walmart interviews three candidates for

every job and they choose the best candidate of those three. But here's the kicker, three people interview you at the same time! Each interviewer will take turns asking you a question. And some of the questions are multi-part questions. Example: At your previous job, were there any policies you didn't agree with? Did you take steps to get that policy changed? What were those steps? After the interview they send you home with the reassurance they will call you within 7 days with a decision.

 When they call you back and are interested in

you, they will have you come in for a second interview. That means you were the best candidate of the three they interviewed! This interview is almost exactly like the first. Three interviewers and mostly the same questions. If they still want you at this point, you will fill out some paperwork for a background check and then send you to a drug screening. After the results of the drug test and background check (about 3 days), they'll call you for orientation.

 Orientation lasts three days. (Seems like

everything is in three's doesn't it?) The first two days are paperwork, videos, and basically learning about Walmart. Oh, and learning the Walmart cheer! But don't worry, there will be others in orientation with you. The third day of orientation is spent on the computer doing a series of modules. These are called CBL's. One is called 'Alcohol Compliance' for example. The modules teach you what you need to know about the subject matter then gives you a little quiz. If you don't pass you take it again until you do. Not bad really. After all of this they give you a work schedule and send you on your way.

 After orientation, each division has its own specific and detailed

Training and Development programs that give you the knowledge and tools to succeed in our company, chart your own career path and accomplish your most ambitious goals. These are just some of the ways were Making Better Possible with opportunities that matter to you most.

 Assistant Management Training (AMT) is a management-training

program open to all salaried Walmart Stores U.S. field associates. You must apply and be selected to take advantage of this program. The Walton Institute provides an educational environment for Walmart leaders from around the world to stretch themselves and explore our unique company culture and how to foster that culture. The 12-week Manager in Training (MIT) program at Sams Club is designed to expose trainees to the various operations within, allowing them to rotate through the company. Upon completion, trainees may apply for an Assistant Manager position.

 All of the Walmart employees are focused on managing

controllable expenses. If the company achieves its profitability the employees to get their share in it. In early days employees opted for profit sharing in form of company stocks.

 HRs role is to focus Wal-Marts leaders

and employees on continuous learning, continuous improvement, superior execution, employee empowerment, and employee ownership all designed to create synergistic teamwork. Wal-Mart teams are highly productive but at the same time the staffing levels are lean. HR insures employees are held operationally accountable for keeping a balanced focus on customer service, expense control (theft prevention) and keeping products in stock.

 At some point early on in their career managers attend a week

of cultural training at The Walton Institute at the University of Arkansas. The Wal-Mart culture, carefully maintained by HR, is a diverse collection of entrepreneurial-minded people who by design all have a stake in the success of the company. Acting like business owners they look for opportunities to solve problems that help eliminate business risk.

 At Wal-Mart Sam Walton expected everyone to think and act

like retail merchants. Everyone in the headquarters, no matter what job they held or what department they worked in, was expected to focus on how to help the stores improve service to customers. Walton pushed the decision-making process downward, empowering local managers and associates to make business decisions on behalf of customers as quickly as possible.

 Simply having the right talent in place to

match the growth of the company may be the biggest risk Wal-Mart faces. WalMart hires aggressively from more than 100 colleges and targets the colleges with Retail Institutes. People have always been the companys greatest asset. Their selfprofessed talent goal at Wal-Mart is to hire the best, provide the best training and to be the place to work.

 Sam Walton always said the biggest risk to his business

was that his customers would stop shopping at his stores. That fear translated into customer fanaticism is reinforced by HR to this day. Culturally, everyone is focused on improving every aspect of customer service, because they know the biggest risk of all may depend on it their own job.
