Poor hrm can result in spurts of hiring followed by layoffs which is expensive. The first step of hrm is planning which involves job analysis and forecasting. Job analysis: a detailed study of the specific duties in a particular job and the human qualities required for that job. Job description: the objectives, responsibilities, and key tasks of a job; the conditions under which it will be done; its relationship to other positions; and the skills needed to perform it. Job specification: the specific skills, education, and experience needed to perform a job. Once the hrm has this he must use info such as trends in the past hr usage, future organizational plans and general economic trends to plan what he will do in the future.
