Human Resources Management addresses an organization's "people" issues. People in this field are in charge of accepting applications and resumes, recruiting people, training them and assigning them throughout the company. This department addresses pay, benefits, vacation and does sick leave processing. Since they're in charge of ensuring a good working environment, they oversee or work with the company's safety programs. They address employee complaints and develop programs to keep the best employees.

Planning
1. Human resources managers tries to project how many employees will be necessary. They look at how many good workers are staying with the company and how many leave. Ideally, they want a low turnover ratio, where more people are staying than leaving. Planners try to identify good workers from the applicant pool, and use them to replace people leaving the company. The ultimate goal is to increase highly skilled and experienced personnel each time there is turnover. If a company is going to reduce employee numbers, planning tries to look for positions that could be trimmed without harming the company.
Pay
2. People in human resources management keep updated on pay and employee tax laws. They negotiate salary and wages with an applicant as well as bonuses, merit-based awards and commissions. Other pay areas they work with include retirement, life insurance, health insurance, vacation time, sick leave, disability insurance and stock ownership plans.
Training
3. Human resources personnel coordinate employee orientation; new hires learn their rights, responsibilities and the company's physical and organizational structures. Training and development builds new hires into proficient workers. As employees gain experience, they receive supervisor, management and leadership trainings. Training happens both on the job and in formal classroom instruction. Employees can end up at a leadership or management academy outside their company.
Laws and Regulations
4. Employees receive manuals and handbooks as soon after they're hired. These books contain the company's laws affecting the employee; and the company's expectations for the employee. Human resources personnel review and process firing requests, as some states make it hard to easily fire an employee. Some states are "at will" employment states; employers can terminate employment for any reason. The employee can also quit for any reason. Human resources personnel coordinate ethics training and enforcement. They hold this kind of training to reduce business fraud, mismanagement, and insensitivity toward other cultures, races, religion and gender.
Wellness
5. The Human Resources department coordinates wellness programs such as drugs, diet, exercises, health, ergonomics, diversity, spirituality and employee harmony. Reducing mishaps in the workplace, and reducing diet and habit-based sickness, helps improve productivity. An organization has to pay worker compensation and health insurance. Wellness programs reduce sickness and injury in the long run, saving the company money while getting more out of the worker.

Manpower Planning

It also involves the process of coordinating and controlling various activities in the organization. An effective manpower planning requires a careful assessment of the future needs of the organization. It involves the development of strategies to match the requirement of employees and availability of positions at a regional as well as a national level. Those in charge of manpower planning need to have a foresight about the business plans. They need to plan the activities for achieving business growth. They are required to estimate the business needs of the organization and plan for the resources needed to realize the business goals.

Getting dedicated and sincere employees is a difficult task that involves a careful study of the personnel, their work preferences and their fields of expertise. It is also necessary to check their educational and social background and assess their personalities in order to fill the positions with only the most deserving candidates. For determining the manpower needs, it is important to create work roles by grouping related work functions together. This helps the human resource managers in identifying the organizational subdivisions.
