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.
-
Prepare Job Description and Person Identification
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.
