the process of acquiring,
deploying, and retaining a
workforce of sufficient
quantity and quality to create
positive impacts on the
organization’s effectiveness

►Activities that involve the initial intake of
applicants into the organization.

types of people needed

the qualifications or KSAOs (knowledge, skill,
ability, and other characteristics) needed to
perform the job effectively

►Conducts external recruitment
campaigns, using selection tools to
evaluate the KSAOs that applicants
possess
►Decides which applicants are the most
qualified and will receive job offers, and
putting together job offers that applicants
will hopefully accept

Refers to the placement of new hires on
the actual job they will hold, something
that may not be entirely clear at the time
of hire
Also encompasses guiding the
movement of current employees
throughout the organization through
internal staffing systems that handle
promotions, transfers, and new project
assignments for employees

6.  Establishes job requirements and job
rewards, recruiting employees for
promotion or transfer opportunities,
evaluating employees’ qualifications, and
making them job offers for new positions

7. Retention
 Systems seek to manage the
inevitable flow of employees out of
the organization
 Sometimes these outflows are
involuntary on the part of the
employee, such as through layoffs or
the sale of a business unit to another
organization

8.  Other outflows are voluntary in that
they are initiated by the employee,
such as leaving the organization to
take another job
Minimize the types of turnover in
which valued employees leave which
is a voluntary-avoidable turnover
Through various retention strategies
and tactics, the organization can
combat these types of turnover,
seeking to retain those employees it
thinks it cannot afford to lose
