7 step process of staffing
Step # 1. Estimating Manpower
Requirements/Manpower Planning:
The process of manpower planning can be divided into
two parts. One is an analysis for determining the
quantitative needs of the organization, i.e., how many
people will be needed in the future. The other part is the
qualitative analysis to determine what qualities and
characteristics are required for
performing a job.
Step # 2. Recruitment and Selection:
The second step after manpower planning is recruitment and selection.
These are two separate functions, which usually go together. Recruitment
aims at stimulating and attracting job applicants for positions in the
organization.
Selection processes must begin by precisely identifying the task to be
performed and also drawing a line between successful and unsuccessful
performance.
Step # 3. Placement and Orientation:
Placement refers to place the right person on the right job. Once the
job
offer has been accepted by the selected candidate, he is placed on his
new job. Proper placement of an employee reduces absenteeism,
employee’s turnover and accident rates. Orientation/Induction is
concerned with the process of introduction or orienting a new
employee to the organization.
Step # 4. Training and Development:
It is more accurately considered as a process of skill formation
and behavioral change. It is a continuous process of the staffing
function.
Training is more effectively conducted when the actual content
of jobs for which people are being trained and developed is
known.
Development involves growth of an employee in all respects.
Step # 5. Performance Appraisal:
It means evaluating a performance employee’s current and past
performance as against certain predetermined standards.
Step # 6. Promotion and Career Planning:
Managers must encourage employees to grow and realize their full
potential. Promotions are an integral p art of people’s career. They usually mean
more pay, responsibility and job satisfaction.
Step # 7. Compensation:
It refers to all forms of pay or rewards paid to employees by the
employer/firm. It may be in the form of direct financial payments (Time based or
Performance based) like salaries and indirect payments like paid leaves
