Document Summary
Human resource management (hrm) is the set of organizational activities directed at attracting, developing and maintaining an effective workforce. Attracting qualified human resources requires good planning which involves job analysis and forecasting the demand for and supply of labour. The job analysis is a detailed study of the specific duties in a particular job and the human qualities required for that job made up of two parts: job description and job specification. The simplest approach adjusts present staffing levels for anticipated turnover and promotions. Employee information systems or skills inventories are computerized systems that contain information on each employee"s education, skills, work experience and career aspirations. After comparing future demand and internal supply, managers can make plans to manage predicted shortfalls or overstaffing. Recruiting is the process of attracting qualified persons to apply for the jobs that are open. Internal recruiting means considering present employees as candidates for job openings.
