    Study Notes

    Human Resource Planning

    • Refers to a systematic process that involves:
      • Forecasting future demand for manpower
      • Forecasting future supply of manpower
      • Employing skills according to organizational objectives
    • The main purpose is to have the right number of employees with the right skill sets to meet the organization's goals.
    • A vacancy can occur in two ways:
      • When an employee leaves (resignation, retirement, death, or termination).
      • When a new position is created due to expansion, restructuring, or reorganization.

    Recruitment

    • 11 Stages of Recruitment:
      • Prepare Job Description and Person Identification
        • Job Description: A guide that outlines the job title, reporting structure, and key responsibilities and duties.
        • Person Specification: Goes beyond a job description and highlights the mental and physical attributes required for the role.
      • Media Announcements: Possible avenues for advertising vacancies include:
        • Job Fairs
        • Newspapers
        • Online Job Portals
        • Campus Recruitment
        • Bulletin Boards
        • Word of Mouth
        • Professional Journals
      • Managing the Response: Evaluating responses from prospective applicants after choosing an advertisement method.
      • Shortlisting: Screening applicants to eliminate those who don't meet basic requirements.
      • Arrange Interviews: Scheduling interviews with shortlisted candidates after initial screening.
      • Person/Organization Match Model: Evaluating how well a candidate aligns with the job, the organization's values, and future job opportunities.
      • Staffing Models: Different approaches to managing workforce acquisition, deployment, and retention.
      • Staffing Levels Strategy: Determining the level of staffing required for different scenarios.
      • Staffing Quality Strategy: Deciding on the desired level of workforce quality (exceptional or acceptable).
      • Active or Passive Diversity Strategy: Choosing an approach to incorporate diversity into the workforce.

    Selection

    • A critical process for ensuring employees have the necessary skills and abilities.
    • It helps create a foundation for effective motivational practices.
    • Selection involves collecting and evaluating information about a candidate to extend an offer of employment.
    • The selection process must comply with legal and environmental requirements and consider the future interests of both the organization and the individual.

    Selection Process

    • Applications and Resumes: The initial stage, involving an application letter and resume, which provides bio-data.
    • Conducting Tests: Many companies use tests to evaluate candidates, but the results shouldn't be the only factor in selection.
    • Interview: A cornerstone of the selection process, with three objectives:
      • Eliciting information
      • Observing and recording behavior
      • Evaluating information and behavior.
    • Reference Checking/Background Investigation: Contacting former employers to verify information about the candidate, ensuring confidentiality.
    • Deciding Whether to Hire: Evaluating all information gathered from the applicant, interview, and skills tests.
    • Job Analysis: A systematic process for identifying the key skills and competencies required for a specific job role, which is crucial for creating a selection program.
    • Steps in Developing a Selection Program:
      • Identify relevant job performance dimensions.
      • Identify the KSAOs (Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, and Other characteristics) required.
      • Develop assessment tools to measure the KSAOs.
      • Validate assessment devices (content and criterion validity).
      • Use the assessment tools to evaluate applicants.
