HRM basics and human resource planning

Description
This is a presentation explains on the basics of human resource management with focus on human resource planning.

OVER LAST TWO DECADES, THERE HAS BEEN A PROFOUND SHIFT IN THINKING ABOUT THE ROLE THAT PEOPLE PLAY IN THE SUCCESS OF THE BUSSINESS, WITH A GROWING VIEW, THAT MANAGEMENT OF PEOPLE IS A KEY ORGANIZATIONAL CAPABILITY, AND ONE WHICH SHOULD BE HIGHLY INTEGRATED WITH STRATEGIC AIMS OF THE BUSSINESS. 1 CHARLES SCWAB

H.R.M.

FOUR VIEWS ON H.R.M. 1

1. IT IS USED AS SYNONYM OF PERSONNEL MGT., CONSISTING OF “EMPLOYEE RELATIONS”, “PEOPLE MGT” AND THE LIKE.

2

FOUR VIEWS ON H.R.M. 2

2. USING VARIOUS TECHNIQUES OF PER.MGT, EG. SELECTION, APPRAISAL, REWARDS IN A MORE INTEGRATED WAY.

3

FOUR VIEWS ON H.R.M. 3
3. MORE BUSINESS ORIENTED AND BUSINESS INTEGRATED. IT PUTS EMPLOYEES ALONG SIDE OF OTHER RESOURCES. HRM IS FULLY PRESENT WHEN ALL INSTRUMENTS LIKE SELECTION, REWARD AND SO ON ARE PULLED IN AN INTEGRATED WAY AND THE SYSTEM IN IS INTEGRATED WITH WIDER BUSSINESS STRATEGY.

FOUR KEY ELEMENTS OF H.R. 1
1. FUNDAMENTALLY IT IS H.R. WHICH “MAKES THE DIFFERENCE”. THE CAPABILITY AND THE COMMITMENT, WHICH DISTINGUISHES SUCCESSFUL ORG. FROM THE REST. THERE FOR NOT TO VIEW AS A COST BUT AS A VALUD RESOURCE.
7

FOUR KEY ELEMENTS OF H.R. 2
2. SUCH DECISIONS ARE IN CONSEQUENCE OF “STRATEGIC “ IMPORTANCE. THEY OUGHT NOT ONLY TO BE DERIVED FROM CORPORATE PLAN, BUT CONSTITUTE A KEY SET OF CONSIDERATIONS WHICH FEED INTO THAT PLAN.

FOUR KEY ELEMENTS OF H.R. 3
3. HRM HAS LONG TERM IMPLICATION AND IS

INTEGRAL TO THE CORE PERFORMANCE OF BUSINESS.
IT MUST BE THE INTIMATE CONCERN OF LINE

MANAGERS, WHO MUST OWN AND UNDERSTAND IT.

FOUR KEY ELEMENTS OF H.R. 4
4. THE FINAL FEATURE CONCERNS THE LEVERS USED TO ACTIVATE THE HRM APPROACH. THIS RELATES TO INTEGRATED APPROACH TO MANAGING CRITICAL EVENTS: THE INFLOW INTO ORG. THE CLEAR COMMU. OF OBJECTIVES. THE CALCULATED DEVELOPMENT OF H.R. THE EVALUATING OF ITS PERFORMANCE AND

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN & HRM.
PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT is that phase of management, which deals with effective control and use of manpower as distinguished from other sources of power. DALE YODER. HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT is a distinctive approach to employment management which seeks to achieve competitive advantage through the strategic development of a highly committed and capable workforce, using an integrated array of cultural structural and personnel techniques. JOHN STORY 1995

HRP
• A CORNER STONE OF STRATEGIC H.R.M IS THE LINKAGE OF OVERALL STRATEGIC AIMS OF THE BUSINESS AND HRM STRATEGT AND IMPLEMENTATION. • STRATEGIC APPROACH TO HRM EMPHASIS, THE DELIVERY OF BUSINESS STRATEGY AND IMPACT ON THE “BOTTOM LINE” PERFORMANCE, THROUGH THE WAY PEOPLE ARE MANAGED.

HRM STRATEGIES
MILES AND SNOW HAVE CLASSIFIED ORGANIZATIONS AS DEFENDERS: ORGANIZATIONS OPERATING IN A FEW STABLE PRODUCT MARKET. ORGANIZATIONS THAT CONTINUALLY SEARCH FOR NEW PRODUCTS AND MARKET OPPORTUNITIES AND REGULARLY TAKE RISKS.

PROSPECTORS:

ANALYZERS:

ORGANIZATIONS THAT OPERATE IN MANY PRODUCT MARKETS, SOME RELATIVELY STABLE, OTHERS CHANGING.
20

HRM STRATEGIES
PROPOSED STRATEGIES SHOULD COMPLEMENT EACH OF THESE BUSINESS STRATEGIES. DEFENDERS: PRODUCT MARKET STABILITY ENJOYED ALLOWS THEM TIME TO DO FORMAL & EXTENSIVE PLANNING TO DEVELOP PEOPLE INTERNALLY.

PROSPECTORS:MUST BE MORE ADAPTABLE, & ARE MORE LIKELY TO RECRUIT PEOPLE WITH SKILLS THEY NEED FROM OUTSIDE. THE UNCERTAINTIES THEY FACE MAY MAKE HR PLANNING LESS USEFUL. ANALYZERS: MAY RESEMBLE EITHER DEPENDING ON THE CONDITIONS OF A SPECIFIC PRODUCT.

H.R.P. INVOLVES

FORCASTING AND NEED FOR LABOUR SUPPLY, AND

SUPPLY OF LABOUR, THEN PLANNING THE PROGRAMS
NECESSARY TO ENSURE THAT THE ORGANIZATION WILL

HAVE THE RIGHT MIX OF EMPLOYEES SKILL WHEN AND
WHERE THEY ARE NEEDED.
22

QUESTIONS TO ASK
WE THEREFORE NEED TO ASK: 1 ARE WE DOING THINGS RIGHT? ARE WE CONTROLLING THE LAB. COSTS? ARE WE HIRING THE RIGHT NO: OF PEOPLE? ARE WE HIRING THE PEOPLE WITH RIGHT SKILL?

ARE WE DOING THE THINGS IN TIMELY MANNER?
2. AT ANOTHER LEVEL WE HAVE TO ANSWER

ARE WE DOING THINGS RIGHT?

23

H.R.P.

HUMAN RESOURCE PLANNING IS CONCERNED WITH THE FLOW OF PEOPLE, INTO, THROUGH AND OUT OF THE ORGANIZATION.

Quantitative Methods of Forecasting HR Demand
Method
Moving average

Description
• Averages data about HR demand from recent periods and projects them into the future

Advantages
• Simplicity. • Data easily available.

Disadvantages
• Seasonal patterns ignored. • Relies on past data.

Exponential • Forecasters can vary weights for HR demand smoothing assigned to different past time periods used to project future HR demand. Trends projections • Numbers of people hired or requested placed on one axis; time is placed on the other axis. A straight line is plotted from past to future to predict HR demand.

• May be used to take • Mathematical into account factors ignored by the moving complexity average method (for • Choice of weights may example, cyclical be arbitrary. patterns). • Relies on past data • Easily explained to • Rough estimates. managers. • Easily prepared by HR planners. • Relies on past data

33

Quantitative Methods of Forecasting HR Demand (cont.)
Method
Regression

Description
• Mathematical formula used to relate staffing to several variables (for example, output, product mix, per capita productivity).

Advantages
• Can include many variables. • Efficient use of all available data. • Assesses what should be in the future, not what probably will be.

Disadvantages
• Mathematical complexity. • Requires large sample sizes. • Relies on past data. • Managers are skeptical of highly sophisticated methodology. • Numerous assumptions must be made.

• Assesses required Linear programming staffing level that matches desired output levels, subject to certain constraints (for example, budget, cost). • Relate turnover to such factors as age and seniority.

Actuarial models

• Reflect past.

• May not be accurate in individual cases.
34

Quantitative Methods of Forecasting HR Demand (cont.)
Method
Simulations

Description

Advantages

Disadvantages
• Accuracy varies.

Probability matrixes

• Useful for considering • Uses scenarios to test the alternative HR effect of various programs. personnel policies. • Help identify career • Define “states” in the patterns. organization—such as • Help perform turnover strategy levels, analysis. performance ratings. • Adequate for • Identify time period. considering • Multiply number of people alternative effects of various HR strategies. in each job category by the probability of movement between job/position categories. Model assumes that current job/position category is the chief determinant of movement.

• Require some mathematical sophistication. • Accuracy varies. • Not adequate for longterm forecasts. • Requires mathematical sophistication.

First-order Markov model

35

Quantitative Methods of Forecasting HR Demand (cont.)
Method Description Advantages Disadvantages
• Not very useful for considering alternative effects of various HR strategies. • Requires mathematical sophistication. • More inclusive than a Semi-Markov • Same as first-order Markov model except that first-order Markov model probability of movement mode. is determined by (1) job/position category and (2) the individual’s length of stay in the job class.

36

Quantitative Methods of Forecasting--difficulties
• Productivity rise cannot always be attributable to increased human effort. • Difficult to get units of output in the same form for all jobs. • Relationship between output and manpower is not always straight forward. • Effect of factors to improve productivity (eg technology, incentive) may not be consistent over a period of time. • Effect of different factors may not always be linear. • uncertainty about future. • Past data may not always be available.
37

Qualitative Methods of Forecasting HR Demand or Supply
Method
Delphi technique

Description

Advantages

Disadvantages

• Highly subjective. • A group of experts • Can involve key exchanges several rounds decision makers in • Judgments may not of estimates of HR process. efficiently use demand or supply, objective data. • Can focus on what is normally without meeting expected or desired in face to face. Feedback future. from other experts is used by each individual to • Not bound to the past. “fine-tune” his or her independent estimate.

Nominal group technique

• A small group of experts meets face to face. After a procedure that involves open discussion and private assessments, the group reaches a judgment concerning future HR demand or supply.

• Same as for Delphi technique.

• Same as for Delphi technique.

• Group discussions • Group pressure may can facilitate lead to less accurate exchange of ideas and assessments that greater acceptance of could be obtained results by through other means. 38 participants.

How to Forecast Personnel Needs
• Project revenues first then estimate the size of the staff required to achieve it • Staffing plans also must reflect:
– – – – – Projected turnover Quality and skills of your employees Strategic decisions Technological and other changes Financial resources

Using Computers to Forecast Personnel Requirements (slide 35 simulations)
• Computerized forecast
?Determination of future staff needs by projecting sales, volume of production, and personnel required to maintain this volume of output, using software packages

41

Forecasting the Supply of Inside Candidates (used for promotions)
• Qualifications inventories
?Manual or computerized records listing employees’ education, career and development interests, languages, special skills, and so on, to be used in selecting inside candidates for promotion

42

Manual Systems and Replacement Charts (similar to slide 41)
• Personnel inventory & development record help track employee qualifications • Personnel replacement charts are often used for filling a company’s top positions
43

Forecasting the Supply of Inside Candidates
• Personnel replacement charts
?Company records showing present performance and promotability of inside candidates for the most important positions

44

Forecasting the Supply of Inside Candidates
• Position replacement card
?A card prepared for each position in a company to show possible replacement candidates and their qualifications
