ABSTRACT
HR management deals with the human component of the company, so it is the most
important asset of any organization and also the main source of achieving competitive
advantage. Since every organization is made up of people, getting their services,
development, skills, motivating them to high level of performance and ensuring that they
continue to maintain their effectiveness in the organization is necessary to achieve the
organizational goals and objectives. Human resource management is as challenging as
technology or capital management, and for its effective management, every organization
requires an effective human resource management system. In this project I mainly focus on
Check specific HR processes and provide suggestions for their overall quality improvement,
mainly the HR functions within the project were: Deployment and employee involvement.

Introduction
Human resource policies are formal rules and guidelines that every business puts in place to
hire, train, evaluate and reward members of its workforce. These policies, if organized and
disseminated in an easy-to-use form, can serve to prevent many misunderstandings between
employees and employers regarding their rights and responsibilities in the workplace. It's
tempting for a new small business owner to focus on the interests of the business and put off
the task of writing a human resources policy. All business analysts and employment lawyers
will advise a new business owner to write a policy on paper, even if it is a simple one,
designed according to a sample model. It is important to have policies written down so that
everyone is clear about what the policies are and that they are applied consistently and fairly
throughout the organization. Additionally, when issues involving employee rights and
company policies come before federal and state courts, it is standard practice to assume that a
company's human resources policy, whether written or oral, is part of the employment
contract between the employee and the company. Without clearly written policies, the
company is at a disadvantage.
A well-written and well-presented HR policy manual can set the tone that a new entrepreneur
wants to maintain in their business. Such a policy also serves to disseminate information
about what employees can expect from the company and what the employer expects from
employees regarding work performance and behaviour on the job. Formal policies can be
helpful for managers and other supervisors who are faced with decisions about hiring,
promoting, and rewarding the people who work under them.
Prudent and comprehensive HRM policies can save companies a significant amount of
management time, which can then be spent on other business activities such as new product
development, competitor analysis, marketing campaigns, etc.
Members of the legal and business communities agree that organizations can do a lot to cut
off legal threats from disgruntled current or former employees simply by creating—and
enforcing—a fair and comprehensive set of HR policies.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Schuler (1992) states that strategic human resource management (SHRM) has many different
components, including “policies, culture, values and practices. An organization's strategic
business needs are influenced by its internal (consisting primarily of factors such as
organizational culture and the nature of the business) and external characteristics (consisting
of the nature and state of the economy in which the organization exists and critical success
factors, i.e., opportunities and threats provided by the industry) that are influenced by HR
activities. Thornhill, Lewis, Millmore, and Saunders (2000) found a potential role for human
resource strategies that can be used to change or realign organizational culture.
An organization can change its culture through its recruitment strategy of replacing managers
with outside managers, organizational restructuring, downsizing, training programs, new
compensation strategies, and performance management to change employee behavior or
reinforce new ones. After economic liberalization,
Indian organizations were under pressure to move from cheap, home-grown, less efficient
and outdated technologies to high-cost modern technologies and prepare people to use them.
This was done to develop and sustain their competitive advantage in the larger business
environment (Khan, 1999).
Indian organizations typically focus their HRM efforts on developing competencies, culture
and effectiveness among employees individually or in groups (Singh, 2003).
Hendry and Pettigrew (1992) suggest that a number of internal factors directly contribute to
shaping the content of HRM, such as organizational culture, structure (location of HR),
leadership, level of technology used and business output.
9
HRM could be understood as offering strategic choices to be made by HRM to promote the
most effective 'role behaviour' that is consistent with the organization's strategy and aligned
with each other (Sparrow and Hiltrop, 1994).

Methods of data collection
Data Collection is an important aspect of any type of research study. Inaccurate data
collection can impact the results of a study and ultimately lead to invalid results.
Data collection methods for impact evaluation vary along a continuum. At the one end of
this continuum are quantitative methods and at the other end of the continuum are
Qualitative methods for data collection.
Primary Data Collection: Raw data or primary data is a term for data collected at
source. This type of information is directly forming first hand sources by means of surveys,
observations and experimentation and not subjected to any processing or manipulation and
also called primary data. It includes:
1. Interview
2. Questionnaire
3. Survey
4. Observation

Functions of HR
1) Managerial Functions
2) Operative Functions
3) Advisory Functions
15
Functions of HR
To achieve this in a diverse, fast-changing organization such as the marketing industry, which
it has decentralized policies; decision makers and processes are really challenging.
16
Some of the major functions of human resource management are as follows:
1. Managerial Functions
2. Operative Functions
3. Advisory Functions.
The HR department provides assistance and service to all other departments in HR matters.
Although the personnel officer or human resources manager is a worker in relation to other
departments of the company, he has line authority to take orders within his department.
1. Managerial Functions:
The Human resource manager is a part of the organizational management. So, he must
perform the basic managerial functions of planning, organising, directing and
controlling in relation to his department.
Planning:
To get things done through the subordinates, a manager must plan ahead. Planning is
necessary to determine the goals of the organization and lay down policies and
procedures to reach the goals. For a human resource manager, planning means the
determination of personnel programs that will contribute to the goals of the enterprise,
i.e., anticipating vacancies, planning job requirements. Job descriptions and
determination of the sources of recruitment.
17
Firstly. A supply and demand forecast for each job category is made. This step requires
knowledge to both labour market conditions and the strategic posture and goals of the
organization.
Secondly, net shortage and excess of personnel by job category are projected for a specific
time horizon.
Finally, plans are developed to eliminate the forecast shortage and excess of particular
categories of human resources.
Organizing:
Once the human resource manager has established objectives and developed plans and
programs to reach them, he must design and develop organization structure to carry out the
various operations.
Directing:
The next logical function after completing planning and organizing is the execution of the
plan. The basic function of personnel management at any level is motivating, commanding,
leading and activating people. The willing and effective co-operation of employees for the
attainment of organizational goals, is possible through proper direction. Tapping the
maximum potentialities of the people is possible through motivation and command.
18
MANAGEMENT is said to be the process in which managers instruct, guide and supervise
the performance of workers to achieve predetermined goals. It is said that direction is the
heart of the management process. Planning, organization, staffing have no meaning unless
the management function takes place.
Controlling:
Human resource management includes planning, evaluating and controlling the performance
of both employees and employees working in the human resources department. Here it is
important that the internal structure of the company as well as the market conditions are
examined on the one hand. As is customary in Controlling, it is differentiated by plan, action
and finally the development of further steps towards development. Employees can be defined
as a cost factor, potential added value and as a group of stakeholders. Human resource
management ensures that competitive advantage can be developed and risks to the company
should be identified and avoided in time.
2) Creating transparency
3) Improving efficiency
19
2. Operative Function:
The human resources department is the backbone of any organization. The department selects
the right person from the market and places the right individual in the appropriate department.
Recruitment involves gathering a pool of applications from which the hiring manager selects
suitable employees. As an HR professional, you need to be highly selective when it comes to
hiring an employee. The operational functions of human resource management include a wide
range of functions: employment, supply, development, compensation, maintenance and
integration.
Employment
Employment is the main operational function of HRM. This task is performed by HR
managers for all departments of any organization. The HR department creates a personnel
policy and coordinates with all company departments. Employment involves securing and
employing professionals who have the required skills that are necessary to achieve the
organization's goals. It also includes job analysis, recruitment, selection, candidate
placement, induction meetings and internal mobility. When you decide to excel in your HR
career, you need to be highly skilled and experienced in order to perform the
aforementioned work with precision.
This process involves improving, changing skills, knowledge, abilities, creativity, values,
abilities, commitments, etc. based on the requirements of organizations and job vacancies
for the present and future. This also includes performance appraisal, career planning,
training management development, promotion and demotion, internal transfer, mobility
and organizational development. The employee gets all the support from the HR
department of the organization when he is newly inducted into the company.
20
Compensation
Compensation means determining the pay scale and other emoluments for the employees.
Establishing and maintaining properly the pay system of any firm is considered to be the
most important task of HR managers. Being an HR manager, you need just and impartial pay
rates to the employees. In addition to this, an HR manager must regularly manage the
performance system of the employees and should continue to design reward scheme for the
employees such as performance-based incentives, bonus and flexible working schedule.
Maintenance
HR operations vary from one organization to another depending on the size, nature and goals
of the organizations. Smaller organizations follow a shorter HRM process with an emphasis
on procurement and compensation and do not prioritize development, training and
maintaining employment relationships. On the other hand, large organizations have a
comprehensive human resource management process to meet both management and
workforce requirements. A properly set HR department can lead the organization to the
zenith with a qualified workforce.
21
3. Advisory functions:
The human resources manager has specialized education and training in the field of
human resources management. He is an expert in his field, so he can advise on HR
matters in the organization.
1. Top management consulting: The HR manager is a specialist in human resource
management functions. May advise senior management in formulating policies and
procedures. He may also make recommendations to senior management for assessment
of the workforce he deems suitable. This function also includes consulting regarding the
maintenance of high-quality interpersonal relationships and above-ground employee
morale.
2. Department Head Advice: In this function he advises the heads of various departments
on policies related to job design, job description, recruitment, selection, evaluation.
Authority of HR
It offers some advice on what managers can do to increase the likelihood that their
orders will be accepted and obeyed. He claims that there will be more and more manager
orders
accepted long-term if:
The manager uses formal communication channels that are familiar to all members of
the organization.
Each member of the organization is assigned a formal communication channel through
which orders are received.
1) The line of communication between manager and subordinate is as direct as possible.
2) The entire chain of command is used to issue orders.
3) The manager uses formal lines of communication only for organizational matters.
4) The command is verified as originating from the manager.
22
Types of authority:
Those directly responsible for these areas within the organization have delegated line
authority
assist them in the performance of their mandatory activities.
Staff authority:
To ensure that line and HR personnel work together productively, management must ensure
that both groups understand the organization's mission, have specific goals, and realize that
they are partners in helping the organization achieve its goals.
2
Size is perhaps the most important factor in determining whether or not it is an organization
will have staff. The larger the organization, the greater the need and capability
employ HR staff.
As an organization grows, it usually needs employees with expertise in diverse areas. While
small organizations may also require this kind of diverse expertise, they often find it more
practical to hire part-time consultants to provide it as needed rather than hiring full-time
staff who may not always be busy.
23
Functional authority:
Functional authority consists of the right to issue orders within a segment of the
organization in which that right does not normally exist.
This authority is usually assigned to individuals in addition to the line or staff authority
they already have.
Functional authorization generally covers only specific task areas and is functional only for
a specified period of time. It is intended for individuals who, in order to perform duties in
their own areas, must be able to exercise some control over members of the organization in
other areas.
Less burden on line managers – Staff managers relieve line managers of their worries by
concentrating on specialized functions such as accounting, selection and training of
employees, public relations, etc. Thus, line managers have less burden. Many issues that
are ignored or poorly addressed in the line organization can be properly covered. It is more
flexible. Disadvantages
(1) Confusion - It is very difficult to clearly establish the relationship between authority and
responsibility between managers and employees. This creates confusion between them.
(2) Inefficiency of the staff - The role of the staff is purely advisory. Since they do not have
the authority to enforce their recommendations, the staff's services may prove to be
ineffective.
(3) Conflict between line and staff – There is generally conflict between line and staff
managers, line authorities feel that workers do not always give the right type of advice and
therefore reject even some very good schemes. Literary offices do not want to give
management the impression that they are in any way inferior to employees. So there is a
conflict between the line and the staff.
Functions of HR
24
1. RECRUITMENT:
The nature of the job, its role and key responsibilities should be covered in the job description
and explained in the selection interview. You may also consider sharing some or all of the
information listed below to give a real insight into the structure and culture of the
organisation, behaviours and standards expected and future plans/intentions:
INTERVIEW:
The word interview comes from Latin and Middle French words meaning "to see each other"
or "to see each other." In general, an interview means a private meeting between people
when someone asks
are asked and answered. The person who answers the interview questions is called the
interviewer.
So an interview is a formal meeting between two people (an interviewer and an interviewee)
where questions are asked by the interviewer to obtain information, characteristics, attitudes,
wishes, etc. Form the interviewee.
Types of Interviews: There are many types of interviews that an organization can arrange. It
depends on the objectives of the interview. Some important types of interviews are listed
below:
Of course, this type of interview is designed to gain information about how well the
interviewee will do on the job through discussion and observation.
2. Appraisal Interviews: Interviews held annually to assess the progress of the interviewee
are called appraisal interviews. Naturally, this happens between superiors and subordinates.
25
The main objective of this interview is to find out the strengths and weaknesses of the
employees.
1. Persuasive Interviews: This type of interview is designed to sell someone a product or
idea. When a sales representative talks to a target buyer, persuasion takes the form of
convincing the target that a product or idea fills a need.
Structured Interviews: Structured interviews tend to follow formal procedures; the
interviewer follows a predetermined program or questions.
2 Unstructured interviews: When the interview does not follow formal rules or procedures.
This is called an unstructured interview. The discussion is likely to be free-flowing and may
move quickly from topic to topic depending on the interests of the interviewee and the
interviewer.
3 Counseling interviews: Can be conducted to find out what is troubling workers and why
someone is not working.
6 Public talks: This includes political parties "radio, television and newspapers".
10 Closed or Fixed Answer Interview: This is an interview where all the interviewers ask
the same questions and are asked to select answers from the same set of alternatives. This
formal is useful for those who are not practiced in interviews.
26
3.INDUCTION & TRAINING:
All new employees who join the company to learn the new "ropes" and settle in quickly
to become productive from the very beginning, they undergo initial training. The aim of the
induction program is to ensure that new employees are given all the help and guidance they
need as soon as possible to perform their work at the required level.
Remember that the onboarding process begins during the recruitment and selection phase,
when contact is made with potential new employees for the first time. It is therefore crucial
that the things you do and say before their first day are as well thought out and prepared as
those you do after the candidate takes office.
a) Recruitment
b) Before starting employment
c) The first day
d) The first week
e) The first month
f) End of trial period
Before employment:
All new hires should receive a formal offer letter along with a contract of employment. In
addition to this information, they should also advise new hires to check out the 'new hire
website'.
page for more information. Other forms, e.g. company details, etc., should be filled out by the
new employee before joining by printing and sending to HR. Alternatively, we must ensure
that all new employees have access to these forms on their first day of employment.
It may also be necessary to send connection instructions by phone or email with the following
information:
27
• map, directions for transport and parking
• what else to take with you, e.g. tools, special clothes, packed lunches, etc.
The content of individual training programs will vary according to the needs of the
individual. New employees may fall into one or more groups, such as:
• graduates
• long-term unemployed
• shift workers
Each group has different needs, so induction programs are designed with this in mind. Also
consider people with special needs, ie a disability, or very young people who may have
limited, if any, experience of working life. Induction programs for certain jobs or roles should
also take into account factors such as health and safety rules and regulations.
New employees will have a significant amount of information available to them as they move
into their new role. Try to divide the training program into subjects or areas of responsibility
so that the individual can gradually build their knowledge and avoid confusion or overload.
First day:
New starters will undoubtedly be nervous and even scared on their first day. It is
important that they feel welcome and given time to adapt to the new environment and
colleagues.
28
They should:
• discussed their rollout program and schedule (see link above or on website)
• satisfied that all necessary documentation has been completed and received
First week:
With all new hires we can explain and discuss the key aspects of their job, the goals and
objectives of their immediate team and how they in turn contribute to the organisation's
goals. This will likely involve them getting to know members of other teams and/or
departments and visiting other offices and/or locations.
At the end of the first week, managers determine how new employees will settle in and:
• review the introductory program and assess your understanding of the information provided
at the address
this point
• ask employees for feedback on how they feel and whether they feel entitled to it
First month:
By the end of the first month, the goal is to design some personal goals that will give them
clear direction and focus. We can also start compiling ideas for a personal development plan.
29
The plan would include areas in which they have demonstrated limited knowledge and/or
skills so far during their training.
We should solicit feedback from people involved in the onboarding process and use it to
assess the progress of the new employee. In case of any concern regarding them
performance or ability, we should address them at the earliest opportunity. Often, new
starters simply need greater clarity or reminding of certain key requirements.
Rating:
It is important to constantly evaluate processes and procedures and check their
effectiveness. We can ask whether the boot program has met its objectives and whether
adjustments are necessary. We should also ask the new employee for feedback on
improvements that could be made to improve the onboarding process, as well as whether
they need additional support at this stage.
PROBATION
Work environment, trial period (or trial period) is a status given to new employees of a
company or business. This is widely referred to as the employee's probationary period.
This status allows a supervisor or other company manager to evaluate in detail the
progress and skills of a new hire, determine appropriate tasks, and monitor other aspects
of the employee, such as honesty, reliability, and interactions with co-workers,
supervisors, or customers.
A candidate who is going to join any company that has to follow the rules set for their
probationary period, minimum service period from the date of joining and sign the
contract.
Ten Marketing is now opening more branches due to high competition with other
companies.
Salary and deposit in companies:
Now due to the single exam system, candidates have to prioritize joining the participating
company. To give you a clearer view of the salary, probationary period, minimum service
period and bond, here we provide a complete list of all involved companies. Candidates
can compare rules made by company at single place before their joining.
5. OFFER LETTER ISSUANCE
30
The company issues Offer Letters to selected candidates. After receiving receipt of Offer
Letter, successful candidates will be required to visit the designated centres, for
completing pre-recruitment formalities and medical examination.
The final joining of the candidates will be done subject to compliance of eligibility
criteria and also on successful completion of pre-recruitment formalities.
The company has also withheld candidates list whose result is kept in abeyance due to
non-submission of conclusive documents for their eligibility. These candidates are being
advised separately by email to submit the required documents failing which they will not
be considered for selection and their candidature will be cancelled.
6. ADMINISTRATIONAL CONTROL
In recent years the growth of practice, the proliferation of multiple files, the great
increase in paper generated, and the heightened need for rapid recovery and delivery of
documents in the
process of representing Clients have resulted in a need to improve the company’s filing capacity.
In particular, the company has determined that it is essential to eliminate redundant and other
duplicative files including multiple copies of identical documents, temporary notes and
superseded drafts.
Objective
To meet the company's own requirements including accounting, control and futures
31
transaction verification.
• Record keeping
• Recording media
• Record keeping
Records: Records arise from the transactions/functions performed by the company and
relate to the data and information resulting from them. Records include vouchers, ledgers,
registers, forms, reports, returns/statements, office notes, etc. The record may be in paper
or electronic form. The policy provisions apply regardless of the medium on which the
records are stored.
The maintenance of records is subject to compliance with legal provisions.
The minimum level of record keeping required to meet the various criteria at each of the 3
different levels is set out in the following paragraphs. Record retention, recording media
and record location are primarily related to the criteria of availability and durability.
The period prescribed for the destruction of old records under the Companies (Retention
Period of Records) Rules 1985 applies only to those records and registers where no
liability arises.
In the case of unclaimed deposits, the liability remains outstanding and companies are
required to maintain/keep records.
Recording media
32
2. The need to ensure that the media selected does not conflict with the accessibility
requirements of COMPANY inspectors/internal/external auditors.
2. Register for recording details of destroyed documents, date and method of destruction.
Record location
Generally, the location of the record will be in the same branch/office where the records were
created/used. In case the placement is to be in another place, prior permission from the
control authority must be obtained. The overriding principle is that records continue to be
available to management in a timely manner.
7. ATTENDANCE RECORD:
Here, HRIS is mainly used in an automated way, and if not, then at least in a semi-automated
way, where HR records the attendance of all employees, paid and unpaid leave, leave or not
granted leave and timely reporting of the course. Although today there are smart machines
and systems that manage attendance by swiping a card or fingerprint
readers, so in the modern world it is not a core HR function, but often in some places,
especially small ones
organizations, it is still a function of HRs and we can say that HRIS include attendance
management.
Training:
Training is a process that provides an employee with the required skills to perform their job
efficiently, skilfully and with quality. Employee training is not continuous, but periodic and
at a set time. Generally, the training will be provided by an expert or professional in the
related field or occupation.
33
Training is the process of learning a sequence of programmed behavior. It is the application
of knowledge and makes people aware of the rules and procedures that govern their behavior.
It helps bring about positive changes in the knowledge, skills and attitudes of employees.
Training is an investment in getting more and better work from your talent.
Types of training
1. Introductory training
2. Induction training
4. Update training
5. Apprenticeship training
Development:
Human resource development (HRD) as a theory presents a framework for the expansion of
human capital within an organization through the development of both the organization and
the individual to achieve improved performance.
Human resource development is the integrated use of training, organization, and career
development efforts to improve individual, group, and organizational effectiveness. HRD
develops key competencies that enable individuals in organizations to perform current and
future work through planned learning activities. Groups within organizations use HRD to
initiate and manage change. HRD also ensures alignment between individual and
organizational needs.
advantages:
A performance evaluation system can motivate staff to do their best for themselves and
the practice by promoting staff recognition and improving communication.
34
employees are given the support, they need to improve in these areas, they learn to take pride
in their work and are willing to take on new challenges with confidence.
ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE
Organizational structure refers to the way an organization organizes people and jobs so that
its work can be done and its goals achieved. When the work group is very small and face-to-
face communication is frequent, a formal structure may be unnecessary, but in a larger
35
organization, decisions must be made about the delegation of various tasks. Procedures are
thus established that allocate responsibilities for different functions. It is these decisions that
determine the organizational structure.
There are several structural variations that organizations can adopt, but there are a few basic
principles that apply and a small number of common patterns. The following sections
explain these patterns and provide the historical context from which some of them emerge.
The first part deals with organizational structure in the twentieth century. The second section
provides further details on traditional, vertically aligned organizational structures. Several
alternative organizational structures are described below, including structures organized by
product, function, and geographic or product market. Next, combinational structures or
matrix organizations are discussed. The discussion ends with a solution to emerging and
potential future organizational structures.
Organizational structure defines how activities such as task allocation, coordination, and
supervision go toward achieving the organization's goals. It can also be thought of as the
looking glass or perspective through which individuals see their organization and its
environment.
Organizations are a variant of grouped entities.
An organization can be structured in many different ways depending on its goals. The
structure of the organization will determine the modes in which it operates and performs.
36
Organizational structure allows the expressed allocation of responsibilities for various
functions and processes to different entities such as branch, department, work group and
individual.
2. Bureaucratic structures
Bureaucratic structures have many levels of management, from senior managers to regional
managers to department store managers. Because there are many levels, decision-making
authority must flow through more layers than a flatter organization. A bureaucratic
organization has rigid and strict procedures, policies and constraints. This kind
the structure is reluctant to adapt or change what they have been doing since the beginning of
the company. Organizational charts exist for each department and everyone knows who is
inside charge and what their responsibilities are for every situation. Decisions are made
through an organized process, and a strict command and control structure is present at all
times. In bureaucratic structures, the authority is at the top and information is then flowed
from top to bottom. This causes for more rules and standards for the company which
operational process is watched with close supervision. Some advantages for bureaucratic
structures for top-level managers are they have a tremendous control over organizational
structure decisions.

the basic principles of bureaucracy. Hierarchies still exist, authority is still Weber's
rational legal type, and organization is still bound by rules. Arguing this way, Heckscher
describes them as sanitized bureaucracies rather than a fundamental departure from
bureaucracy.
4. Functional structure
A functional organizational structure is a structure that consists of activities such as
coordination, supervision, and assignment of tasks. Organizational structure determines
how an organization functions or operates. The term organizational structure refers to how
people in an organization are grouped and to whom they report. One traditional way of
organizing people is by function. Some common functions within an organization include
manufacturing, marketing, human resources, and accounting.
Functional organizations are best suited as producers of standardized goods and services
in high volume and at low cost. Coordination and specialization of tasks are centralized in
a functional structure, making the production of a limited number of products or services
efficient and predictable.
5. Divisional structure
A divisional or product structure consists of separate divisions. A division is a set of
functions that create a product. It also uses a plan to compete and operate as a separate
business or profit centre. According to Zainbooks.com, the divisional structure is
considered the second most common organizational structure in America today.
Employees who are responsible for certain market services or product types are placed in
a divisional structure to increase their flexibility. Examples of segmentation include
regional, consumer type, and product type. Divisions may also have their own
departments, such as marketing, sales, and engineering.
6. Matrix structure
38
The employee group matrix structure operates both by function and by product. This
structure can combine the best of both separate structures. A matrix organization often
uses teams of employees to carry out work to take advantage of the strengths as well as
compensate for the weaknesses of functional and decentralized forms. An example would
be a company that produces two products, "product a" and "product b". Using a matrix
structure, this company would organize functions within the company as follows:
"product" and "business department," product.
RECRUITMENT STRATEGY
Recruiting, which covers the entire process of acquiring, selecting, and hiring employees for
an organization, is a function that is usually found within human resources. The person
responsible for developing effective recruiting strategies will typically be a talent acquisition
manager, HR director, or recruiting/sourcing manager. Changes to the recruiting program at a
strategic level can include improving communication with candidates, developing talent
acquisition, succession planning, optimizing recruiting channels, rethinking interview
processes, and deploying new recruiting technologies.
Recruitment strategy is probably one of the most misunderstood and misused terms thrown
around in our industry today. Try asking your clients and colleagues to define the term, and
39
we guarantee you'll get very different answers. Recruitment strategy means completely
different things to different stakeholders (line managers, hiring managers, HR professionals,
recruiting professionals). Try doing a Google search for the term or search reputable and
trusted recruiting sources.
Whenever we get the chance, we test the definition of the recruitment strategy and talk to
experts and industry leaders. We usually spend a good hour or two talking about the tried and
true recruiting buttons:
• Recruitment programs
Your organization's desired recruitment outcomes will most likely touch on some common
ones
topics:
a) Better fit employees who are more productive and stay on the job longer (quality of hire)
c) Ability to meet the peak demand of the recruitment cycle or reduce costs and overhead
during slower periods
40
c) Recruitment of the level of talents and competences
f) Recruitment programs
FEATURES OF RECRUITMENT:
3) Positive activity to find authorized persons, from which suitable persons are selected.
7) Complex work involving many factors such as company image, nature of jobs offered,
organizational policies, working conditions, etc.
You are now ready to develop the criteria that will be used to screen resumes and select the
best person for the job. These should be based on the job description of the position and must
be measurable within the selection process. Clear and measurable selection criteria will help
avoid bias so that the interviewers are able to objectively evaluate the suitability of the
candidate for the given topic
work.
a) What knowledge, skills, qualifications and experience are necessary for the new employee
to perform the duties of the given position?
41
b) What qualities does a new employee need to have to make sure they fit the culture of your
organization?
c) Do any of your criteria exclude certain groups as prohibited under human rights
legislation?
c) Be innovative and prepared to consider several different methods to attract the best person
for the job
Recruit effectively
c) For a general, non-specialist position, you're more likely to find a suitable candidate in a
smaller pool, so you'll want to recruit in a way that keeps the number of applications
reasonable
d) For a very senior or highly skilled position, you will probably need to reach out to as wide
a pool as possible to get the best candidate
42
1) Organizational goals
6) Recruitment costs
7) Financial consequences
It should be:
1) Comply with applicable public policy and legislation on hiring and employment
relations
4) To provide each employee with the freedom and opportunities to use and develop
knowledge and skills to the maximum extent possible
6) Provide appropriate employment and protection to the disabled, women and minority
groups
OBJECTIVE:
B) Recruit employees who are likely to be able to fill various parallel and vertical positions
within the organization.
43
c) Keep employees longer, reduce employee turnover and limit their need
recruitment activities.
Reduce the cost of hiring and the overall cost of recruitment activities in the organization.

JOB ANALYSIS
Once a position becomes available, it is important that the supervisor/manager takes the
opportunity to review the job and person specification. In order to be effective in the selection
of employees, it is necessary to have an up-to-date, accurate job description and to understand
how it is carried out
refers to other jobs in the organization. This means that the main function of work and its
responsibilities: "Why, how and what is done?"
A vacancy provides an opportunity to reassess the duties of the position and update the job
specification in accordance with current organizational requirements and practices. Such a
review includes a job analysis which may result in a revised job and person specification.
Due to the importance of both of these documents in the selection process, special attention
should be paid to the analysis of the work.
Where a job and person specification is being created or revised and there has been a change
in reporting or organizational structure, new responsibilities or an increase in job value,
advice should be sought from HR on pay levels to ensure that the position is set to the correct
level. If you are unsure whether the revised job and person specification requires this action
to be taken, seek advice from HR.
The right start to a recruiting effort is to conduct a job analysis, documenting the actual or
intended requirements of the job to be performed. These job descriptions should be reviewed
or updated prior to recruitment to reflect current requirements. Starting your recruitment with
an accurate job analysis and job description will ensure that your recruitment starts on the
right path to success
Job analysis enables those involved in recruitment and selection for a position to begin a
Competency analysis "to determine which criteria or competencies" are necessary for success
in position. The information that is gathered during the job analysis phase helps to get a clear
picture of the role, both from a technical and behavioral perspective.

final selection phase.
A realistic view of the job involves providing candidates with an accurate and complete
representation of tasks and responsibilities. Presents the pros and cons of the job to potential
candidates.
JOB SPECIFICATION
A job specification summarizes the human qualities required to complete the job
satisfactorily. It tries to describe the key qualifications that someone needs to do the job
45
successfully. It explains the important attributes of a person in terms of education,
experience, skills, knowledge and abilities (SKA) for the performance of a particular job. The
job specification is the logical outcome of the job description. For every job description, it is
desirable to have a job specification. This helps the organization find what kind of people are
needed to fill specific jobs. The personal attributes that are described through the job
specification can be divided into three categories:
Essential attributes: skills, knowledge and abilities (SKAs) that a person must have.
A job specification can be developed by interviewing current job holders about the attributes
required to perform the job satisfactorily. The views of supervisory authorities could also be
used as additional inputs. Checking the job requirements of other organizations with similar
job positions will also help in developing job specifications.
A job specification is useful in the selection process because it offers a clear set of
qualifications for the individual to be hired for a particular job. Likewise, a well-written job
specification offers new recruits a clear picture of what they will be doing in the organization.
The job specification describes your knowledge, skills, education, experience and abilities
believes that they are necessary for the performance of a particular job. The job specification
is emerged from the job analysis. Ideally, also from a detailed job description, a job
specification describes the person you want to hire for a specific job.
A job specification will quickly adapt to your requirements, while a job description
defines in detail the duties and requirements of the employee's work. Work
the specification provides the detailed characteristics, knowledge, education, skills and
experience needed to perform the job with an overview of the specific job requirements.

experience.

Required Skills, Knowledge, and Characteristics: List the skills, knowledge, and personal
characteristics of individuals who have successfully performed this job. Or,

candidate. Your planning or email participants can also help you determine these job
specification requirements.
High-Level Job Requirements Overview: In less than ten bullet points, list the key
components and requirements of the position you are filling.
A job specification is useful for recruiting as it helps you write your job postings
and your website recruiting material. The job specification is also useful for
distribution in social media, for screening resumes, and for interviewers.
A job description is a list of the general tasks or functions and responsibilities of a given
position. It also usually includes who the position is reporting to, specifications such as the
qualifications needed for the person in the position, the salary range for the position, etc. A
job description is usually developed by conducting a job analysis, which includes an
examination of the tasks and sequence of tasks necessary to perform the job. The analysis
focuses on the areas of knowledge and skills that the job requires. Note that a role is a set of
responsibilities or expected outcomes associated with a task. The job usually involves several
roles. The job description can be expanded to include a person specification. An alternative
terminology used within the UN system is Terms of Reference.
The job description is a key document in the recruitment process and must be completed
before any further steps are taken. Must contain:
place of work

Conclusion
In conclusion, the functions of Human Resources (HR) play a pivotal role in shaping the
success and sustainability of organizations in today's dynamic and ever-evolving business
landscape. HR functions encompass a wide array of responsibilities, ranging from talent
acquisition and development to employee engagement and compliance management.
Furthermore, HR is responsible for ensuring compliance with labour laws and regulations,
which is vital for mitigating legal risks and maintaining ethical practices within the
51
organization. This includes managing employee records, overseeing payroll and benefits
administration, and staying up-to-date with ever-changing labor laws.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the findings, it can be concluded that in terms of the HR function (included in the
project), there are currently some areas that are good and some areas that can be further
improved so that as a result, the overall quality of the HR resources, the services provided by
this process can be improved.
More employee-friendly policies have come in, the onboarding process has improved, etc.
Proposals and expected impact have already been documented for each HR process. Overall,
all suggestions are a subset of the following major areas of improvement:
52
• Leaders/project managers can play a major role in employee engagement:
o Participation in fun events would only increase if employees find time for such activities.
Supervisors themselves must recognize the importance of participating in non-work-related
activities and encourage their team members to actively participate in such activities.
o Appreciation emails and thank you cards can also be used as a medium to motivate
employees
This will not only increase the number of events, but also increase the number of people
who participate in those events.
