Answer
Internal sources of recruitment refer to filling vacancies from among employees already working in the organisation. The five internal sources of recruitment are:
Transfers — A transfer means shifting of an employee from one place to another without any change in rank, responsibility, and remuneration. It is a horizontal movement of the employee. Job vacancies in one factory, branch, or office of the organisation may be filled by transferring surplus staff from another factory, branch, or office.
Promotions — A promotion means shifting an employee from a lower post to a higher post. It leads to an increase in the pay, status, and responsibility of the employee. Therefore, promotions are considered rewards. Promotions may be made on the basis of merit or seniority. A promotion involves a vertical movement or advancement of an employee.
Demotions — An employee who is unable to perform his duties properly may be shifted to a lower post. Demotion involves a reduction in the pay and status of the employee. It is considered a serious penalty and is therefore used only in exceptional cases.
Ex-Employees — The retired employees of the organisation may be recruited for a temporary period to meet an abnormally high rush of work in the organisation. Their experience and familiarity with the organisation make them useful in handling sudden workload increases.

In 1978, aged just nineteen, Richer opened his first store in London Bridge. The company has 53 retail outlets throughout the UK. In 1994, his flagship store in London Bridge set a new Guinness World Record for the highest sales per square meter of any retail outlets in the world- a staggering £195426 (
Richer believes it is vital that his staff have fun and enjoy their work. He is renowned for empowering staff to make a difference to the company. Each week, he looks at employee suggestions and awards up to £20,000 (33,000) for an idea. Each month, the top three salespeople get to use his personal Bentley or Rolls-Royce for a weekend. He only promotes people internally. Richer argues that businesses with demotivated staff face lower productivity due to higher absenteeism, labour turnover, theft and customer complaints.

CASE STUDY
British carmaker MG has confirmed the launch of a new affordable Electric Vehicle (EV) in India in the first half of 2023. The brand also revealed that this newly developed EV will come with an affordable price tag of around Rs 7-8 lakh.
Although the firm has not yet disclosed the details of the EV's body style, this new pure-electric offering will most probably compete against the Tata Nexon EV. Besides this, the MG's upcoming EV will utilise a new platform and could offer a sub-300 km of travel range on a single charge.
MG Motor has also announced that it will invest in nurturing young talents through its initiatives like the MG Nurture program. The carmaker plans to collaborate with 50 institutes through the program to train one lakh students on the latest technologies regarding EVs.
Electric cars produce zero exhaust emissions, which means they do not emit any harmful exhaust gases into the air. This can benefit the environment as exhaust gases can negatively impact various health conditions and also have an impact on climate change. EVs are more efficient, and that combined with the electricity cost is cheaper than filling petrol or diesel for your travel requirements. Using renewable energy sources can make the use of EVs more eco-friendly. They mainly reduce noise levels which are hazardous to human health.
