1- Definitions and objectives of HRM
Definition 1:
HRM is the function performed in organizations that facilitates the most effective use of people to
achieve organizational and individual goals.
Definition 2:
Human Resource Management is a series of integrated decisions that form the employment
relationship; their quality contributes to the ability of the organizations and the employees to achieve
their objectives.

Objectives

•HRM is a means to achieve efficiency and
effectiveness. It serves other functional
areas, so as to help them to attain
efficiency in their operations.
•Acquiring right man for the right job at
right time in right quantity, developing
through right kind of training, utilizing
the selected workforce, and maintaining
the workforce are the organizational
objectives of HRM. Succession planning is
an important issue to be taken up as a
contemporary organizational objective.
Organizational Objectives
• In today’s world there is shortage of requisite
talent. Employees are encouraged by competitive
firms to change the jobs. HRM has the
responsibility to acquire, develop, utilize, and
maintain employees.
• This would be possible only when the HRM helps
employees to achieve their personal goals to get
their commitment. Creating work-life balance for
the employees is a personal objective.
Personal Objectives

•HRM performs so many functions
for other departments. However, it
must see that the facilitation
should not cost more than the
benefit rendered.
Functional Objectives
• HRM must see that the legal, ethical, and
social environmental issues are properly
attended to. Equal opportunity and equal pay
for equal work are the legal issues not to be
violated. To take care of farmers (whose land
has been acquired for the factory) and tribal’s
(who are displaced by industries and mining
companies) are the ethical issues.
• The results are clear when these issues are not
taken care of. To help the society through
generating employment opportunity, creating
schools and dispensaries, helping women
empowerment are the social responsibility
issues.
Societal Objectives

Other general objectives of HRM
1. To help the organization reach its goals
2. To employ the skills and abilities of the workforce efficiently
3. To provide the organization with well trained and well motivated employees
4. To increase to the fullest the employee’s job satisfaction and self-actualization
5. To develop and maintain a quality of work life
6. To communicate HR policies to all employees
7. To help maintain ethical policies and behavior

Motivation
and
Maintenance
Fourareas and their related functions share the common objective of an
adequate number of competent employees with the skills, abilities, knowledge, and
experience needed for further organizational goals

Planning
• It should cover the widest range of
personnel policies
• It should include as many aspects of
managing people as necessary to
achieve the longer term objectives of
the organization.
• Is an integral part of business planning.
• Is a systematic and continuing process of analyzing
organization’s workforce need.

Three Key
Elements
of HRM
Planning
Forecasting
Staffing
Needs
Balance
Supply
and
Demand
Evaluating
Supply
Planning

Forecasting Staffing Needs
 There are several ways to forecast your business needs, in order to predict how
many employees you need to run your business and which roles these employees
need to fill.
 Some of the factors to consider are:
• the situation of the economy,
• the internal business finances,
• the demand for your products or services
• and the growth expectations for your business.
 Take a look at your existing staff and see which current employees are likely to
transition into new positions and estimate the turnover rate of employees for
your business.
Planning

Evaluating Supply
 Evaluating the supply of employees includes a two-prong process:
• evaluating internal staff (which will occur as you are forecasting your
staffing needs)
• and evaluating external staff. Externally, you need to evaluate the
demographics of the workforce that is available.
 Evaluating Supply can include factors such as education, mobility, the
unemployment rate of government laws and regulations that can affect your
industry, your business, existing and potential employees.
 Evaluating all of these factors helps you determine if you have access to the
number and types of employees you need to fill your staffing forecasts.
Planning

Balance Supply and Demand
 The final element of the human resources planning is to determine how you
are going to balance the demand you have for employees with the supply of
employees available.
 If you have a shortage of employees, this will determine what type of recruiting
efforts your business will participate in to attract the employees it needs to fill
needs within the organization.
 It also requires you to balance your full-time and part-time needs.
 If you have a surplus of employees, this requires you to consider employee
layoffs, retirements and situations where employees may need to be demoted
or moved into a lateral position (rather than receiving a promotion).
Planning

Staffing
Staffing is defined as filling and keeping filled, positions in
the organization take into account internal factors of the
firm such as Personnel Policies, Climate in Organization,
Appraisal System.

Recruitment Selection

Staffing
Recruiting:
 Recruitment is the process of identifying and attempting to attract candidates who are
capable of filling job vacancies appropriately.
 In other words Recruitment is a process to discover the sources of manpower to meet the
requirements of staffing schedule and to employ effective measures for attracting that
manpower in adequate number to facilitate effective selection of an efficient working force.
 There are two sources of Recruitment
• Internal Recruitment (through promotion, transfers, present employee or demotions
• External Recruitment (through Notice at the factory gate, trade union, unsolicited
application, casual callers, advertisement, employment exchange, educational
institution, labor contactors, or private agencies.

Staffing
Selection:
 In the selection function, the most qualified applicants are selected for hiring from among
those attracted to the organization by the recruiting function.
 On selection, human resource functionaries are involved in developing and administering
methods that enable managers to decide which applicants to select and which to reject for
the given jobs.

Training and
Development
(T&D)  The training and development function gives employees the skills and
knowledge to perform their jobs effectively.
 In addition to providing training for new or inexperienced employees,
organizations often provide training programs for experienced employees
whose jobs are undergoing change.
 Large organizations often have development programs which prepare
employees for higher level responsibilities within the organization.
T&D provide useful means of assuring that employees are
capable of performing and developing their jobs at a more
advanced levels

Training and
Development
(T&D)
Development
Is a long term educational process
It can defined as any learning activity
which is directed towards future needs
rather than present needs, and which is
concerned more with career growth than
immediate performance.
Training
Is a short term educational process
It can be defined as a formal and systematic
modification of behavior through learning,
instruction, development and planned
experience.

2- Defining requirements and attracting qualified candidates
Attracting candidates is primarily a matter of identifying, evaluating and using the most
appropriate sources of applicants.
However, in cases where difficulties in attracting or retaining candidates are being met or
anticipated, it may be necessary to carry out a preliminary study of the factors that are likely to
attract or repel candidates the strengths and weakness of the organization as an employer.
The analysis of strengths and weaknesses should cover such matters as the national or local
reputation of the organization, pay, employee benefits and working conditions, the intrinsic
interest of the job, security of employment, opportunities for education and training, career
prospects, and the location of the office or plant.

2- Defining requirements and attracting qualified candidates
The analysis can show where the organization needs to improve as an employer if it is to
attract more or better candidates and to retain those selected.
It is the matter of attracting the most appropriate source of applicants. However, it is always a
good idea to carry out a preliminary study on the factors that are likely to attract/repel
potential employees.
it is important to consider the following while attracting candidates
• Analyze the strengths and weakness of the business.
• Analyze the requirements.
• Identify Sources of candidates.
• The Pros and Cons of Advertising and use of the Advertising media.
• Use of Online recruitment facilities.
• How and when to use services of Recruitment and Selection Consultants .

important to treat all referrals with respect and follow-up in a timely
manner.
Print advertisements
Print advertisements may appear in national or local newspapers,
bulletins, professional journals, or magazines.

website or on professional association websites. One study has shown
that 96% of people looking for jobs use the internet

Recruitment agencies /Executive search firms
These private companies will find and screen potential candidates for a fee, typically a percentage of the
annual salary. It is important when using these services that you take the time to clearly define the
position and your expectations of the services to be provided by the agency.
Career Fairs and Outreach Programs

 Past behaviors and performance
 Learning from past behaviors
 Future adaptability to new post
 Knowledge and understanding of issues in
relation to job
Assess candidates against essential criteria
and competency

 Which are the most relevant
to this application?
 Have you covered the
essentials?
 Which ones have made the
most difference?

Approaches to Interviewing
Traditional
● Fact finding - About candidate’s background
● Theoretical - How you would implement or do something
● Hypothetical/Situational - How would you deal with a hypothetical situation
Competency Based
Allows candidates to prove their suitability for the job by quoting
examples of actual behavior:
 Give an example when……
 Describe an occasion when……
 Tell about a time when……..

 Place emphasis on evidence of outcomes
 Things you have done that you are proud of
 Situations you have handled particularly well
 Ways you have contributed to the success of your
organization
 Be conscious of your current work
 Start writing them down

Recruit efficiently
What are the timeframes to fill the positions?
What size candidate pool will you need?
For a general, unspecialized position you have a higher probability of finding a suitable
candidate within a smaller pool so you will want to recruit in a ways that keeps the number of
applications reasonable
For a very senior or highly skilled position you will likely need to reach out to the widest
possible pool in order to get the best candidate

Training and Development

1- Identification of training needs
A training need exists when an employee lacks the
knowledge or skill to perform an assigned task
satisfactorily.
To identify the range of training needs and define
their content, the HRD uses different approaches to
assessment of needs. Training

Training of employees is essential because work
force is invaluable asset to an organization.
Training is required on account of the following
reasons:
• Newly appointed persons
• Existing experienced employees
• Technological changes
• Internal mobility
• Problem related with production

Survey among the potential trainees is conducted to identify specific topics about
which they want to learn more.
The job description is evaluated to identify the salient tasks the job requires.
Once trainers have an understanding of those tasks, specific plans are developed
to provide the necessary training.
The group’s expertise may be tapped through a group discussion, a
questionnaire, or a normal group meeting.

HR weaknesses
The weaknesses among HR activities like inappropriate placement, orientation,
selection, or recruiting may lead to workers with deficiencies.

In this case employees are asked to nominate themselves for training and development
programs where they want the differences in between their expected skills, knowledge
and abilities.
Supervisors are able to observe employees on daily basis. They may recommend
an employee for training and development as reward good employees.
Reviewing other sources of information includes different report. e.g. production
records, quality control reports, grievances, safety reports, etc. it may reveal
problems that should be addressed through training and development efforts.

2- Design and delivery of training
Designing the Training Course:
It includes the following aspects:
• Deciding the contents of training
• Designing the support materials for training like
study notes, case studies, pamphlets, charts etc.
• Preparation of budgets for alternative training
package.

2- Design and delivery of training
Delivery of Training Course:
These rules should be observed
while imparting training.
Time table:
the trainers
must prepare
a time table
of the
training.
Personal
attention:
every trainee
should be
personally
cared.
Work: ‘Work’
should be
clearly
defined.
Timing: work
should be
clearly and
slowly
taught.
Employment:
workers are
to be allowed
to work. He
should be
helped to do
work by
removing
mistakes and
doubts.

3- Developing and evaluating relevant training objective
Once training needs are assessed, training and development goals or objectives must be established.
The main objectives of developing the training are:
• To provide basic knowledge and skills required to perform a specific task.
• To provide latest concepts, information and techniques to employees for
performing efficiently in the present position.
• To build a second line officers by giving training to occupy responsible position in
future.
• Efficiency
• Improves Quality
• Versatility in Operations
• Employees Stability

3- Developing and evaluating relevant training objective
Evaluation and Follow up:
• After deciding the training objectives the next step is designing an appropriate
training policy.
• Matching the goals/objective with and policy will ensure the effectiveness of any
training.
• Effectiveness of training programs is to be verified. The feedback generated
through follow up will help to reveal the errors or mistakes done. It will also help in
designing future training programs.

4- Training matrixes
A training matrix is a useful tool that will
support managers to: Identify mandatory,
role specific and individual training needs.
Create new entrant training plans. Plan
team training needs. Ensure all
mandatory training is completed
Use excel demos

5- Effectiveness of delivery methods: the international benchmarks
Before considering specific training techniques, ask yourself these questions:
What are your training goals for this session?
• New skills
• New techniques for old skills
• Better workplace behavior
• A safer workplace
• A fair and equal workplace free of discrimination and harassment
Who is being trained? What is your training budget?
• New employees
• Seasoned employees
• Upper management

How much time has been allocated for training within your organization?
What training resources and materials do you have at your disposal?
Your answers to these questions begin the narrowing process for your training choices. Now let’s
examine those training methods, their pros and cons, and where they best fit in a training program.

2- The main components of performance management

3- Performance management versus performance appraisal
Performance Appraisal continues to be one
of the most criticized HR functions in
organizations
• We all measure our subordinates’ performance
whether we do it formally or informally
• Very important to document what we evaluate
• Also necessary to show a clear link between what we
evaluate and job requirements

4- Management by objectives
Peter Drucker introduced the
concept of MBO.
Management By Objective:
• Objectives of the enterprise as a whole
• SWOT analysis of an enterprise
Establishing
Objectives
• Objectives of each manager
• Subordinates overall objectives
• Action plans to achieve the goals/targets
Establishing
Targets
• Periodically
• Progress, weakness and constraints are assessed
• Improvements are decided in the review meetings.
Review of
Performance
• Performance review (manager with subordinates)
• New goals can be set upFeedback
MBO is a system in which
specific performance
objectives are jointly
determined by
subordinates and their
superiors, progress toward
objectives is periodically
reviewed, and rewards are
allocated on the basis of
this progress.

4- Management by objectives
SMART Management by Objectives introduced the
SMART method for checking the validity of
Objectives,
'SMART':
• Specific
• Measurable
• Achievable
• Realistic, and
• Time-related.

5- Setting up a competency based performance management system
• Feedback and coaching – informal
• Monitoring and tracking performance
against standards and progress toward
goals.
• Quarterly performance planning and
performance discussions
• Development through coaching, training,
challenging or visible assignments,
improving work processes

What performance will be measured?
• Behaviors – how the work is done
• Performance factors / competencies
• Required behaviors
• Behaviors supporting desired organizational culture
• Results – what is achieved
• Performance outcomes
• Performance compared to job standards
• Performance goals and/or objectives

Performance Review
• Summary of performance over a
period of time
• Evaluate performance results and
behaviors
• Conducted face-to-face with a
written record.
• While rating and ranking has both
pros and cons, a summary rating of
each employee may be useful.

6- Talent management and succession planning
DEFINING TALENT
‘ Talent consists of those individuals who can make a
difference to organisational performance, either through
their immediate contribution or in the longer term by
demonstrating the highest levels of potential’
According to McKinsey, talent is the sum of
• a person’s abilities,
• his or her intrinsic gifts,
• skills, knowledge, experience ,
• intelligence,
• judgment, attitude, character, drive,
• his or her ability to learn and grow

TALENT MANAGEMENT
A conscious, deliberate approach undertaken to attract, develop and retain people
with the aptitude and abilities to meet current and future organisational needs.
TALENT=COMPETENCE+COMMITMENT+CONTRIBUTION

1. Workforce Planning: Integrated
with the business plan, this process
establishes workforce plans, hiring
plans, compensation budgets, and
hiring targets for the year.
2. Recruiting: Through an integrated
process of recruiting, assessment,
evaluation, and hiring the business
brings people into the organization.
3. Onboarding: The organization must
train and enable employees to
become productive and integrated
into the company more quickly.
4. Performance Management: by
using the business plan, the
organization establishes processes to
measure and manage employees.
PROCESS

5. Training and Performance Support: This is a critically important
function. Learning and development programs is provided to all levels of
the organisation. This function itself is evolving into a continuous support
function.
6. Succession Planning: as the organization evolves and changes, there is a
continuous need to move people into new positions. Succession
planning, a very important function, enables managers and individuals to
identify the right candidates for a position. This function also must be
aligned with the business plan to understand and meet requirements for
key positions 3-5 years out. While this is often a process reserved for
managers and executives, it is more commonly applied across the
organization.

7. Compensation and Benefits: This is an integral part of people management. Here
organizations try to tie the compensation plan directly to performance management
so that compensation, incentives, and benefits align with business goals and business
execution.
8. Critical Skills Gap Analysis: This is a process we identify as an important, often
overlooked function in many industries and organizations. While often done on a
project basis, it can be "business-critical." For example, today industries like the
Federal Government, Utilities, Telecommunications, and Energy are facing large

4- Job evaluation: guaranteeing 'internal consistency'
What is Job Evaluation
A job evaluation is a systematic way of determining the
value/worth of a job in relation to other jobs in an
organization. It tries to make a systematic comparison
between jobs to assess their relative worth for the
purpose of establishing a rational pay structure.

The process of job evaluation involves the following steps:
• Gaining acceptance.
• Creating job evaluation committee.
• Finding the jobs to be evaluated.
• Analyzing and preparing job description.
• Selecting the method of evaluation.
• Classifying jobs.

• External Equity: how a job's pay rate in
one company compares to the job's
pay rate in other companies.
• Internal Equity: how fair the job's rate
is when compared to other jobs within
the same company.
Equity
The equity theory of motivation assumes that people have a need for,
values and seek fairness at work . There are four forms of equity:

• Individual Equity: the fairness of an
individual's pay compared with his/her co-
workers earnings for the same or similar
jobs within the company based on each
individual performance.
• Procedural Equity: the perceived fairness of
the processes and procedures used to make
decisions regarding the allocation of pay.

Factors affecting Equity

5- Salary surveys: guaranteeing 'external consistency'
• “External equity exists when employees in an organization perceive that they are being rewarded fairly
in relation to those who perform similar jobs in other organizations”.
• External equity exists when an organization's pay rates are at least equal to the average rates in the
organization’s market or sector.
• Employers want to ensure that they are able to pay
what is necessary to find, keep and motivate an
adequate number of qualified employees. Creating a
compensation structure that starts with competitive
base pay is critical.

• The use of salary surveys is critical in your ability to determine if your compensation
and benefits are comparable to similar roles in other organizations.
• It is important to ensure that the key responsibilities and goals of the roles being
compared are similar; as is the sector the organization is aligned with.

Salary Surveys
• Surveys collecting information about employee
compensation, including salary and benefits, are
commonly called salary surveys.
• Salary surveys are conducted with numerous
employers to determine pay levels for specific
job categories and are generally conducted
either by region, sector or job classification for
the purposes of comparability.

Salary Surveys
• In conjunction with other tools, salary surveys
can provide useful information to attract,
support and retain employees within the
context of an overall HR and organizational
plan.
• When designed and used properly, salary
surveys can provide useful benchmarking
information for comparing salaries and benefits

5- The factor points system for evaluating jobs
The procedure involved may be explained thus:
1. Select key jobs. Identify the factors common to
all the identified jobs such as skill, effort,
responsibility, etc.
2. Divide each major factor into a number of sub
factors. Each sub factor is defined and expressed
clearly in the order of importance, preferably
along a scale.
3. Once the worth of a job in terms of total points is
expressed, the points are converted into money
values keeping in view the hourly/daily wage
rates.

Often times we talk about the importance of a growth mind-set for our young learners but not for the
adult learner. I suggest that having a growth mind-set is key for everyone in the human family. Seems
like a wonderful way to find happiness instead of discouragement, frustration and sadness
