Define human resource management

Human resource management is the organizational function that manages all of the issues
related to the people in an organization. This includes; recruiting, selecting, inducting
employees, providing orientation, training and development, and setting goals and
administering salaries, wages, and other compensation within an organization.

It also involves directing activities such as performance appraisal, employee engagement,


career planning, succession planning, terminations, disciplinary measures, and organizational
development through communication. HRM also focuses on proactive approaches to an
organization's most important asset, its human capital, in order to facilitate a strong and
successful workplace.

Explain how managers develop and implement a human resource plan.

Human resource planning mostly deals with looking towards the future of the
organization. When advertising for the position, they should consider how many people
are needed and the type of people needed. Example if the organization needs a person
who will perform well and first, they might consider a more experienced worker for
hiring instead of an amateur
Steps to Develop and implement a human resource plan

1. Assess Organizational Needs: Managers should begin by knowing the organization's


existing and future needs. This includes assessing the organizational structure, identifying
skill shortages, forecasting future workforce needs, and taking into account any external
factors that may have an impact on the organization's human resources.
2. Set Objectives: Managers must develop clear and defined HR objectives based on an
assessment of organizational needs. These goals should be aligned with the overarching
strategic goals of the organization and should focus on areas such as talent acquisition,
employee development, performance management, retention, and succession.
The human resource planning process consists of four main, broad steps. Each step must
be completed in order to reach the end goal of developing a plan that allows the
organization to successfully find and retain enough skilled people to meet the company's
demands.

3. Analyzing the company's current labor supply

The aim of this step of human resource planning is to identify the company's current human
resources supply. Here the HR determines the strength of the employees based on their number,
skills and performance level.

4. Determine the company’s future labor needs

Here, the HR department can consider certain issues like promotions, retirements, layoffs, and
transfers—anything that factors into the future needs of a company. The HR department can also
look at external conditions impacting labor demand, such as new technology that might increase
or decrease the need for workers.

5. Balancing the company's labor needs with its supply of employees

The third step in the HRP process is forecasting the employment demand. HR creates a gap
analysis that lays out specific needs to narrow the supply of the company's labor versus
future demand.

6. Developing and implementing the HR plan throughout the organization

HR must now take practical steps to integrate its plan with the rest of the company. The
department needs a budget, the ability to implement the plan, and a collaborative effort with
all departments to execute that plan.
Quality employees are a company's most valuable asset. Human resource planning involves
the development of strategies to ensure that a business has an adequate supply of employees
to meet its needs and can avoid either a surplus or a lack of workers.

Different ways of motivating the employees.


 Rewarding employees

Try giving simple incentives when rewarding engaged employees. It could be even a trip or
a promotion, it does not have to be monetary value.

 Create a friendly work environment

When you create a pleasant atmosphere where it is welcoming and comfortable, your
employees will be more than eager to go to work every day.

 Positive communication is the key

Everyone communicates at work and it is probably the easiest thing you can do with your
employee. This will not only make your employees happy; it will also provide you with
much-needed insight on your business from your employees.

 Encourage team work

Try to remove any bureaucracy and hierarchy within the company and create an ‘openness’
to new ideas at any level and working together as a team keeps employees motivated.

 Encourage creativity

Creativity does not have to be based on the work that the employees are doing. It could be
simple task like giving ideas on the next company retreat or team building exercises.

 Encourage friendly competition

A little competition among the employees would not hurt. A competitive environment is a
productive environment. Encourage employees to participate in competitions or challenges
as it is healthy and may actually lead to increased companionship.
