- Determining staffing needs
| Human resource management (HRM)
Up to a few decades ago, the term 'human resources' did not exist. Recruitment, compensation and training was done by individual departments, and there would be a small 'personnel department' that was responsible for clerical jobs such as keeping staff records and processing the payroll. This situation has changed dramatically, mainly because jobs nowadays involve higher levels of knowledge and skill, and qualified labour is in short supply. Increasingly, the modern company sees its human capital -its employees - as one of its most important assets, and most large companies today have an HR strategy. But it is still often true that HRM is seen as having lower status than other areas of management. Determining staffing needs The key area of HR is staffing (= manpower planning). There are many issues to consider when trying to find qualified candidates: The choice between internal recruitment (less expensive recruitment process, boosts morale) and external recruitment (brings new ideas and skills, wider selection). Legal issues such as equal opportunities (no discrimination on the grounds of gender, race, age, disability, etc). Finding the right balance between permanent, full-time employees (who provide continuity of knowledge and company culture, as well as stability for families in the local community) and other employees hired on a more flexible basis. Amongst the flexible staffing options are: Part-time staff on permanent contracts. This option can include 'job sharing' - often of interest to a parent with a young child. Staff on temporary contracts, perhaps leased from an outside agency (eg secretaries, hotel and catering staff, students working through college, etc). These people 'temp' and are 'temps' (verb and noun). Professional freelancers (sometimes called 'consultants') brought in for individual projects. Often these jobs replace ones that were previously done 'in-house' by permanent staff. жүктеу/скачать 3,86 Mb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
