Document Summary

Human resources management: finding and keeping the best employees. In the past, if you needed qualified people, you simply hired them. If they do not work out, you fired them and found others. This was done by functional departments that employed them, such as accounting and marketing: now, qualified employees are scarcer, which makes recruiting and retaining people more important and difficult. Five steps in the human resource planning: preparing a human resource inventory of the organization"s employees, preparing a job analysis, assessing future human resource demand, assessing future human resource supply, establishing a strategic plan. Recruiting employees from a diverse population: recruitment the set of activities used to obtain a sufficient number of the right people at the right time. Selecting employees who will be productive: selection the process of gathering information and deciding who should be hired, under legal guidelines, to serve the best interests of the individual and the organization.
