Executive Summary
INTRODUCTION of UET:
The organization to whom we are doing our project is an Educational Institute. UET Lahore is
one of the oldest universities in South Asia and a regional hub of academic excellence. It has
been providing world-class education since 1921. Situated in the heart of Lahore; one of the
biggest commercial cities of the country, the university is distinguished by its accomplished and
qualified faculty and strong alumni. UET offers outstanding facilities and is furnished with state
of the art learning centers.
About IB&M:
We are mainly concern in establishing an HR Department at IB&M (A business department of
UET Lahore).As a part of its progressive vision, the university has embarked upon providing
business education through its newly established Institute of Business and Management (IB&M).
Located on the premises of the main campus of UET, IB&M offers undergraduate and graduate
business and management programs.

innovative point of view to solve tomorrow's challenges and problems...
Mission of IB&M:

being faced by the Corporate Sector and the Global Economy.
Introduction to Human Resource Management
Human Resources supports the University’s mission of excellence in teaching, research, and
patient care through strategic, innovative, and flexible policies, practices, programs, and services
that:
Attract, develop, reward and retain a diverse and talented workforce.
Foster a productive work environment where people feel valued.
Support the changing nature of work and the workplace environment.
Add value, and reflect good stewardship of resources.
Are fair, ethical and legally compliant.
All the education departments especially of foreign universities adopted this concept and
LUMS in Pakistan which resulted in creating better understanding among Management and
Students. So, this is the right time for Institute of Business and Management to establish an
HR Department under their premises so that they can increase the level of studies beyond
measures.
Vision of HR Department:
“To became a prominent leader in HRM through learning and continuous
improvement”
Mission of HR Department:
Development of effective and flexible Human Resource Management services to ensure
development, success of this organization development of a professional environment based
on justice.
There are many ways to establish a HR department but most recent that is being used consists of
specific stages that cover almost all aspects of training, compensation, selection and recruitment
of employees.
Each stage will be discussed in detail as under:
Stage # 1
RECRUTIMENT/SELECTION
Recruitment is the process of identifying that the organization needs to employ someone up to
the point at which application forms for the post have arrived at the organization. Selection then
consists of the processes involved in choosing from applicants a suitable candidate to fill a post.
Recruiting individuals to fill particular posts within a business can be done either internally by
recruitment within the firm, or externally by recruiting people from outside.
External recruitment
External recruitment makes it possible to draw upon a wider range of talent, and provides the
opportunity to bring new experience and ideas in to the business.
Disadvantages of External Recruitment:
It is more costly and the company may end up with someone who proves to be less effective in
practice than they did on paper and in the interview situation.
There are a number of stages, which can be used to define and set out the nature of
particular jobs for recruitment purposes:
Job analysis is the process of examining jobs in order to identify the key requirements of each
job. A number of important questions need to be explored:
The title of the job
To whom the employee is responsible
For whom the employee is responsible
A simple description of the role and
duties of the employee within the
organization.
Job analysis can be carried out by direct
observation of employees at work, by
finding out information from interviewing job holders, or by referring to documents such as
training manuals. Information can be gleaned directly from the person carrying out a task
and/or from their supervisory staff. Some large organizations specifically employ 'job analysts'.
In most companies, however, job analysis is expected to be part of the general skills of a
training or personnel officer.
Job description job description could be used as a job indicator for applicants for a job. Alternatively, it could
be used as a guideline for an employee and/or his or her line manager as to his or her role and
responsibility within the organization.
Job specification
A job specification goes beyond a mere description - in addition, it highlights the mental and
physical attributes required of the job holder. For example, a job specification for a trainee
manager's post in a retail store included the following:
'Managers at all levels would be expected to show responsibility. The company is looking for
people who are tough and talented. They should have a flair for business; know how to sell, and
to work in a team.'
An effective selection procedure will therefore take into consideration the following:
Keeping the costs of selection down
Making sure that the skills and qualities being sought have been identified,
Developing a process for identifying them in candidates
Making sure that the candidates selected, will want the job, and will stay with the
company.
The skills required should have been identified through the process of job analysis, description
and specification. It is important then to identify ways of testing whether candidates meet these
requirements. Testing this out may involve:
interviewing candidates
Asking them to get involved in simulated work scenarios
Asking them to provide samples of previous work
Getting them to fill in personality and intelligence tests
Giving them real work simulations to test their abilities.
Workforce planning and diversity
Workplace diversity refers to the variety of differences between people in an organization. That
sounds simple, but diversity encompasses race, gender, ethnic group, age, personality, cognitive
style, tenure, organizational function, education, background and more.
Benefits of Workplace Diversity
An organization's success and competitiveness depends upon its ability to embrace diversity and
realize the benefits. When organizations actively assess their handling of workplace diversity
issues, develop and implement diversity plans, multiple benefits are reported such as:.
Broader service range
A diverse collection of skills and experiences (e.g. languages, cultural understanding) allows a
company to provide service to customers on a global basis.
More effective execution
Companies that encourage diversity in the workplace inspire all of their employees to perform to
their highest ability. Company-wide strategies can then be executed; resulting in higher
productivity, profit, and return on investment.
Challenges of Diversity in the Workplace
Taking full advantage of the benefits of diversity in the workplace is not without its challenges.
Some of those challenges are:
Communication :
Perceptual, cultural and language barriers need to be overcome for diversity programs to
succeed. Ineffective communication of key objectives results in confusion, lack of teamwork,
and low morale.
Resistance to change :
There are always employees who will refuse to accept the fact that the social and cultural
makeup of their workplace is changing. The "we've always done it this way" mentality silences
new ideas and inhibits progress.
Implementation of diversity in the workplace policies :
This can be the overriding challenge to all diversity advocates. Armed with the results of
employee assessments and research data, they must build and implement a customized strategy
to maximize the effects of diversity in the workplace for their particular organization.
Successful Management of Diversity in the Workplace:
Diversity training alone is not sufficient for your organization's diversity management plan. A
strategy must be created and implemented to create a culture of diversity that permeates every
department and function of the organization.
Performance management is the systematic process by which an agency involves its
employees, as individuals and members of a group, in improving organizational effectiveness
in the accomplishment of agency mission and goals.
Employee performance management includes:
Planning work and setting expectations.
Continually monitoring performance.
Developing the capacity to perform.
Rewarding good performance.
The revisions made in 1995 to the Government wide performance appraisal and awards
regulations support sound management principles. Great care was taken to ensure that the
requirements those regulations establish would complement and not conflict with the kinds
of activities and actions practiced in effective organizations as a matter of course.
PLANNING
In an effective organization, work is planned out in advance. Planning means setting
performance expectations and goals for groups and individuals to channel their efforts
toward achieving organizational objectives. Getting employees involved in the planning
process will help them understand the goals of the organization, what needs to be done,
why it needs to be done, and how well it should be done.
DEVELOPING
In an effective organization, employee developmental needs are evaluated and addressed.
Developing in this instance means increasing the capacity to perform through training,
giving assignments that introduce new skills or higher levels of responsibility, improving
work processes, or other methods. Providing employees with training and developmental
opportunities encourages good performance, strengthens job-related skills and
competencies, and helps employees keep up with changes in the workplace, such as the
introduction of new technology.
RATING
From time to time, organizations find it useful to summarize employee performance. This
can be helpful for looking at and comparing performance over time or among various
employees. Organizations need to know who their best performers are.
REWARDING
In an effective organization, rewards are used well. Rewarding means recognizing employees,
individually and as members of groups, for their performance and acknowledging their
contributions to the agency's mission. A basic principle of effective management is that all
behavior is controlled by its consequences. Those consequences can and should be both formal
and informal and both positive and negative.
Workplace Relations – Building Trust at Workplace
Introduction
Relations at workplace are different from those that we create and develop in our day to day life.
Just like our personal relations, our professional relations are also based on trust, faith, and
respect. Both types of relations require investment of time. However, basic differences between
our personal and professional relations are as follows:
1. Relations at workplace are time-bound and can or cannot be permanent or long-term based.
2. Though based on common vision and focused on similar goals, relations at work-place require
one to be competitive and sometimes even compete with one another to stay ahead.
3. There can only be a possibility of mutual trust, faith and respect and it cannot be one-sided.
4. People involved in workplace relations should have High Emotional Quotient and should be
able to differentiate between personal and professional emotions.
Types of relations that can exist at workplace are:
a) Employer-Employee
b) Manager-Subordinate (or rather Head – Subordinate)
c) Colleagues
d) Employee – Internal Service Provider (Finance, HR etc)
e) Employee – External agents (Vendors, clients, customers etc)
Believe in your organization and its vision: -
Make certain that you believe in the organization's values, mission, strategy and what it stands
for because if you're not comprehensible about what they are and your dedication to them, you
cannot expect anyone else to be. It is imperative for business leadership and senior managers of
an organization to have clear vision for the organization, set specific goals for organization and
values it stands for. This, then needs to be communicated down the ladder and across the
organization. Employees believe in direction and goals. They do not like uncertainty.
Frequent and Fair feedbacks: -
Encourage and promote a questioning attitude, regular feedbacks and criticism. It is just not fair
to complain or criticize or just raise a question/query, provide solution as well. Suggest ways to
improve. Ask, 'How can we make this work?' rather than saying, 'this won't work because...' or
‘do it the way I am saying…”. Expect your staff to do the same. Employees will not be able to
trust you or your intellectual proficiency, if you reject a proposal, suggestion or idea of someone
without providing apposite logical reasoning or if you criticize the work of someone without
giving suggestions to improve that work. Tell them how you have evaluated their work,
recommendation, advice, opinion or suggestion.
Integrity: -
Integrity involves the adherence to ethical, principled values and practices. Team members
seldom trust managers or leaders who are ambiguous and do not appear committed to the team's
or organization’s best interests. Business leaders without integrity may be perceived as
manipulative, basing their decisions and behaviors on fulfillment of personal agendas. Leaders
and managers who show staff that they have strong ethical standards and values and are willing
to behave in ways that support them will foster trust within the team.
Believe in talent, knowledge and experience of your team-members and employees: -
Persuade your employee or team-member to take accountability and responsibility. Begin by
encouraging open and blame-free conversation in your team. Get everyone to contribute their
thoughts, ideas, and fears for the future. Make sure everyone understands and shares the same set
of values for your work. Also, make sure everyone understands what their job is. Publish
accountability. Then let them get on with it. Treat mistakes as opportunities for learning and not
occasions for blame. Make rewards for success proportionate and immediate. Give praise
publicly and criticize privately.
Commitment: -
Employees will trust a manager or leader who is committed to them as individuals and to the
success of the team and who is willing to sacrifice time and energy to formulate things that are
achievable as well as viable. Managers often lead by example, and a strong sense of commitment
can be contagious. Commitment can include showing interest and empathy in your staff, being
willing to address—rather than avoid—problems and issues, and demonstrating the ability to
articulate your vision for the team and stick by it the best you can.
A safe and healthy workplace
HR provides companies with comprehensive safe and healthy workplace programs to reduces
risk and ensure the safety of your employers. Employers have the legal obligation to provide
the workplace in which neither the environment nor the work practices to any unreasonable
risk in safety and health. HR advisor provides a number of services and programs that
address the challenges of creating and complying with the creation and maintenance if safe
and healthy workplace environment.
The Objectives of Safe and Healthy Workplace Programs include but are not limited to:
• Provide a safe and health work environment
• Reduce worker's comp claims and other safety and workplace health costs
• Reduce OSHA inspections
• Maintain good employee relations
• Maintain good public relations
Building capabilities and organizational learning
With change being our only constant in today's economy, the key to competitiveness is the
ability to adapt to changes we don't control and learn about the ones we do. Either way, learning
has become a critical skill to ensure the viability of any institution. While many organizations
today are trying to become "learning organizations", learning capability has ensured the success
of many, well-known firms. For example, Motorola learned to design and build paging systems
and cellular phones instead of car radios, and IBM learned how to take someone else's idea about
computers (a Univac innovation) and make it a commercial success.
"Building Organizational Learning Capability" is a program to enhance the capability of work
teams and their institutions to learn from their own experiences (success and failures) and from
the experiences of others. By using this program, your organization will:
• Assess its learning strengths and weaknesses
• Recognize team learning styles
• Develop strategies to learn and improve performance
• Understand how to align its learning portfolio with corporate strategy
• Enhance learning and the dissemination of knowledge across the institution
Stage # 2
Understand the Organization:
The organization to whom we are doing our project
is an Educational Institute. UET Lahore is one of the oldest universities in South Asia and a
regional hub of academic excellence. It has been providing world-class education since
1921. Situated in the heart of Lahore; one of the biggest commercial cities of the country,
the university is distinguished by its accomplished and qualified faculty and strong alumni.
UET offers outstanding facilities and is furnished with state of the art learning centers.
About IB&M:
We are mainly concern in establishing an HR Department at IB&M (A business department
of UET Lahore).As a part of its progressive vision, the university has embarked upon
providing business education through its newly established Institute of Business and
Management (IB&M). Located on the premises of the main campus of UET, IB&M offers
undergraduate and graduate business and management programs.
Objectives
This rich set of high-quality, business education offering is part of IB&M´s mission to
develop future leaders who think globally, act responsibly and manage organizations in a
volatile marketplace. It will help them to develop a comprehensive understanding of
economic, social and political environment in which modern organizations work. IB&M
also wishes to instill an understanding and practical usage of management techniques for
designing adaptable management systems. IB&M also strives to prepare professional
business executives to lead the process of change, including the ability to apply the power
of information technology to the management process.
The Culture
At IB&M you'll find a refreshing, willing to support quality staff, a collaborative, cooperative
work environment and a learning community keen to acquire emerging trends. We take
pride in creation of a Personalized Corporate culture at IB&M through various programs
and courses. This unique IB&M culture is the thread that would tie essential elements such
as a robust curriculum, self-motivated students, an inspiring faculty, a high-tech business
building and a myriad of premium services and bind them into a single, rewarding
experience.
Understanding the Organization Structure:
Flow Chart of the will transform the structure of IB&M Uet.
Understanding the organization System
Many sources of expertise need to be engaged in building new complex systems content for
education and for studying its learnability and implement ability. Scientists from many
different areas need to collaborate with educators, education researchers and materials
developers (including technology developers) to help define new science education goals,
appropriate curriculum, technology and pedagogical options for formal and informal
education. Setting the stage for developing research and action agendas on a national scale,
including national dialogues presumably supported by appropriate conference gatherings,
is a next major step.
Similarly, many sources of expertise need to be engaged in building models and
frameworks for a complex systems analysis of our education system, involving both
creators of the knowledge and potential users of the knowledge gained:
Scholars in the fields of testing, assessment, and evaluation.
Researchers who have studied examples of successful and unsuccessful educational
innovations and schemes for curriculum change.
Educators and managers with experience of current corporate, organization, and
workplace models of employee education and human resource development.
Researchers who work within the context and agendas of professional organizations
in the field of education, such as teacher organizations, national associations, etc.
Researchers who specialize in the study of the impact of technology on social
institutions.
Leaders in higher education who have worked on educational reform and
curriculum innovation in colleges and universities.
Regarding the study of education as a complex system, we see a need for a long term and
substantive research initiative involving multiple and competing perspectives and methods
derived from the study of complex systems in other domains but informed by members of
the communities listed above. We sketch here, as an illustrative and tentative proposal, an
example of a kind of analysis, with a focus on multistate analytic methods, but with no
assumptions that the perspective offered and the first-level intuitive analysis is an accurate,
complete, or even appropriate, account. Considerable study will be needed to satisfy
criteria of accuracy, completeness, data availability, and adequacy, required for a study of
the sort tentatively proposed.
Understand the organizational Politics:
The current state of our department is that it is the psyche of a human being that it readily
gets jealous from his other member when he performs better than him. In this department
politics is at its peak. In the last two years many of the employees were resigned due to this
politics especially Mr. Jibran, Mr. Maqsood and also two to three of our board of directors of
IB&M Uet Lahore. Many of the members working under the roof of IB&M are creating
negative propagandas in order to limelight themselves in the eye of Director to accomplish
their benefits.
When an HR manager will be hired than a proper organizational behavior will be formed.
Organizational behavior wrote the histories of sectors for example Oxford University is on
the oldest one in the world but its working properly due to the good organizational culture.
Learning the attitudes of other’s and creating a win-win relationship with proper team
building and HR activities will develop a good organizational behavior at Business
Department.
Understand the Individual job Descriptions:
Currently due to the absence of HR at IB&M Uet Lahore. Many employees left over the
organization so this time there is a need of HR manager that will handle this problem
HR Advisors provides a comprehensive service that identifies the role requirements in the
organization and develops and designs the job description and concurrent skill
requirements for that role. The proper job description for a role in a company allows the
organization to properly identify what needs to be done and what type of candidate can
perform that role.
HR Advisors can guide you through the relationship of job descriptions and ADA
requirements so that the company is in compliance and not subject to lawsuit. The correct
job description will allow the company to properly set the objectives for that role and
assure that they are congruent with the objectives and goals of the company. Lastly, the
proper job description will allow the employee to understand their role and allow both the
company and manager to properly access their performance in that role.
Stage # 3
Conducting an Interview of HR Manager and Director
To understand the important of HR manager we conducted at interview with the HR
Manager and Director of IB&M UET Lahore which lasts for half an hour. Interview was
conducted in a group in which each of over group member participates effectively.
What is the importance of HR Manager in an Education Sector like UET?
Mr. Director told us that we are facing a lot of problems since the establishment of
IB&M because many good teachers left us due to the organizational politics and
issues like problems with management so; we realized that an HR manger should be
hired to resolve these issues.
What are the duties of an HR Manager at IB&M?
Mr. Director told us that the department is expecting a lot from our HR Manager
because this is the time to solve the issues and move toward the pace of success. The
main duty of HR is to control that why people are lying off from IB&M. We expect that
from now we will hire a right person for a right job.
Why the promises made with the students and staff is not fulfilled?
Mr. Director told us that he feels really miserable for this but these activities are done
when we have proper team. Team building is necessary to flourish these activities. With
the hiring of an HR Manager we will obey our promises and a proper team will also be
formed.
INTERVIEW WITH HR MANAGER of IB&M
Why do you think HR manger should be hired in an education sector?
Mr. HR manger told us that HR manger is important for every organization irrespective
of the sector. He said that from onward a well-organized system of hiring of employees
will be formed so that the loss of precious team will be deceased. HR is important
because it deals with the affairs of students which are the assets of any university.
What are HR strategies you will use to govern the Department?
1. In the start we will prepare a proper job description of the Employees.
2. A penal of UET will interview them
3. A training of employees will be confirmed
4. Last but not the least feedback mechanism will be implemented
What is the process of recruitment at IB&M?
I recently joined this department and noticed that VC and board of directors are
looking into this matter but the problem we and the man agent is facing is that the
process of recruitment is not well defined and process is very slow.
What is the concept of reward management?
Yes, it’s very important because your staff is your real long term assets. We are
working on it .I had learnt that the increment of last two years has not been still
given which enhances dissatisfaction in employee’s mind we are looking towards it.
What are the steps have you taken to compensate students?
Our Director and we decided to send letters of internship to 200 companies local
and MNC’s to offer internship to our students and we hope we will get a positive
feedback.
What are the problems you are facing here as an HR?
The main problem we are facing is the slow pace. People tend to move responsibilities
to others which resulted in not meeting the deadlines. The unsatisfactory behavior and
laziness are the major problems at this department
Stage#4
Objectives of Human Resource:
All the nations throughout the world are developing themselves because they had planned it
before. The well-defined set of objectives on the foundation of which they are making incredible
.In the department of human resource, management needs to fulfill the following core objectives
which can increase the productivity of IB&M and its employees.
They need to establish the recruiting flow process, in which every employee before hiring
is properly accessed on the basis of particular criteria and get job on the basis of his own
interpersonal skills which are necessary for the development of institute.
New employee orientation should be organized after hiring to make them realize what is
expected from them related to their job.
New employee folder-creating a more professional look for new employees and creating
streamlined on boarding process
Assessment Tests/Behavioral Interviews should be conducted to choose better candidates,
reducing turnover and increasing productivity.
They need to make Job descriptions for all departments.
HRIS training and loading of all information should be change to all computer
based tracking.
Train managers according to properly fill out warning forms in case of litigation.
New recruiting areas like moving online with other educational institutes to attract top
talent.
Use of HRIS to track and analyze new and current employees for source, length
of employment, reason for leaving etc.
They should make report and analyze retention, turnover, and ways to reduce it.
Compliance may appear to be a very static goal for human resources. They need to ensure
that workplace is a safe environment that has all the necessary support for productive
relationships. Human resources achieve this goal through regular employment file audits
to assess the equity of compensation practices.
Human resources should have everything through which institute can improve its image
therefore, creating an employer of choice is a goal that’s well within the capabilities of a
focused human resources department. All employees should be happy to be a part of and
well-focused towards their work.
Strengthening employer-employee relationships, offering innovating compensation and
benefits packages and investing in employees’ are ways human resources can achieve this
goal.
Values of HR Department: The Human Resources Department demonstrates the following values:
• Promote Honesty, Integrity, and Trust:
IB&M should need to honor their commitments and conduct business in a manner that
promotes fairness, respect, honesty, and trust.
• Celebrate Teamwork:
They have to encourage the diversity of thoughts, experiences, and backgrounds and
celebrate participation.
• Encourage Communication:
They have to solicit the input of employees and strive for transparency and inclusiveness.
Human resource department needs to foster creativity and risk-taking to support
continuous improvement.
• Produce Quality Results:
The management needs to produce the best quality results as it is the part of well-
established university by creating a safe, productive, and healthy work environment for
employees which would satisfy their customers (students).
Goals The HR Strategic Plan is focused on following goals;
Value, Encourage, and Support a Diverse Workforce
Continually Improve Individual and Organizational Effectiveness
Anticipate and Meet the Changing Needs of the Workforce / Family
Champion Career and Professional Growth
Create and Enhance Strategic Planning
Goals of recruitment and Selection procedure: IB&M can accomplish their mission by focusing on the following goals: Establishing and enhancing relationships with other departments of the university to
anticipate and respond to changes, priorities, staffing trends, and support succession planning efforts to make proper and specified image of IB&M.
Expand technological capabilities that streamline selection and test administration procedures.
Measure and monitor exam process completion and quality to ensure efficient and responsive management.
Promotion of qualified and employees with good interpersonal skills to increase education services and benefits.
HR Strategic Support
Purpose HR Strategic Support provides responsive and innovative leadership, financial analyses and reporting, Information Technology, Human Resource Systems, and support services for employees, departments, community partners, and the public to promote individual and organizational excellence. Goals
Institute of business and management can fulfills their mission by focusing on the following goals to meet up the human resource strategic support: Meet and anticipate customer needs that results in 90% satisfaction with services
provided and processes are being carried out in the department. It’s the hour of need that they have to enhance their services through technology usage. Foster an environment that supports and integrates Department’s vision and goals. Improve financial performance by establishing and maintaining effective funding
strategies and ensuring resources are utilized efficiently. Promote leadership, financial stewardship, and individual and organizational
effectiveness.
Notification
The employee selection process needed to start with a manager or boss commissioning human resources to fill a new or vacant position. The manager must first decide what qualifications are desired in a candidate.
Reviewing Review resumes and matches each candidate's background to the job requirements. Human resources and the hiring manager must determine how many candidates they can realistically bring in for an interview.
Screening The employment selection process may actually include a screening interview; especially if candidate lives out of town then they have to decide that how they can communicate well with the candidate if he/she is according to the job requirements. Screening interviews can help narrow the field of candidates.
Interviewing
One of the most important facts of the employment selection process is the face-to-face interview. Human resource department of IB&M needs to conduct different procedures for personal interviews. The hiring manager will usually ask for feedback from human resources and other employees who interview the job candidates. The hiring manager may also review notes, or decide which candidate would fit best in the open position. Qualifications are only one consideration. The hiring managers will usually select someone with whom they can work, whether it is the candidate's personality or work ethic. So this type of selection procedures can help the department to hire the employees who are determined and faithful towards their work.
Testing The employee selection process can also include testing before a candidate is actually hired. Subsequently, by taking the drug or personality test, the HR managers could make an offer to the chosen candidate.
Maximizing Staff Talent and Potential:
The well-defined image clearly depicts that how we will
increase staff talent and potential.
Job Analysis
Purpose of Job Analysis
The purpose of Job Analysis is to establish and document the 'job relatedness' of employment
procedures such as training, selection, compensation, and performance appraisal.
Job analysis aims to answer questions such as:
Why does the job exist?
What physical and mental activities does the worker undertake?
When is the job to be performed?
Where is the job to be performed?
How does the worker do the job?
What qualifications are needed to perform the job?
What are the working conditions (such as levels of temperature, noise, offensive fumes, light)
What machinery or equipment is used in the job?
What constitutes successful performance?
Determining Training Needs
Job Analysis can be used in training "needs assessment" to identify or develop:
Training contents should be identified.
Assessment tests of employees to measure effectiveness of training.
Equipment to be used in delivering the training and technologies.
Methods of training (i.e., small group, computer-based, video, classroom...)
Compensation
Job Analysis can be used in compensation to identify or determine:
Skill levels.
Compensable job factors.
Work environment (e.g., hazards; attention; physical effort)
Responsibilities (e.g., fiscal; supervisory)
Required level of education (indirectly related to salary level)
Selection Procedures
Job Analysis can be used in selection procedures to identify or develop:
Job duties that should be included in advertisements of vacant positions;
Appropriate salary level for the position to help determine what salary should be offered
to a candidate;
Minimum requirements (education and/or experience) for screening applicants;
Interview questions;
Selection tests/instruments (e.g., written tests; oral tests; job simulations);
Applicant appraisal/evaluation forms;
Orientation materials for applicants/new hires
Performance Review Job Analysis can be used in performance review to identify or develop:
1. Goals and objectives
2. Performance standards
3. Evaluation criteria
4. Length of probationary periods
5. Duties to be evaluated
Perspectives
Generally, there are two perspectives in which job analyses are conducted: task-oriented or
worker-oriented.
Task-oriented
Task-oriented procedures focus on the actual activities involved in performing work. This
procedure takes into consideration work duties, responsibilities, and functions.
HR manager needs to create task statements, then he rate the tasks on scales indicating:
Importance
Difficulty
Frequency
Consequences of error.
Based on these ratings, a greater sense of understanding of a job can be attained.
Worker-oriented
Worker-oriented procedures aim to examine the human attributes needed to perform the job
successfully. These human attributes have been commonly classified into four categories:
Knowledge
Knowledge is the information people need in order to perform the job.
Skills

Employers want employees who will do their best work or ‘go the extra mile’. Employees want
jobs that are worthwhile and that inspire them. More and more organizations are looking for a
win-win solution that meets their needs and those of their employees. What they increasingly say
they are looking for is an engaged workforce.
The model below illustrates the four drivers (in blue) of employee engagement which has shown
are essential to creating an engaged workforce. The bottom elements of the model show the
outcomes (in gold) of developing and maintaining an engaged workforce.
Empowerment
Even the best manager knows that each employee knows her daily job tasks better than anyone
else in the company. The online resource Inc.com refers to empowerment as allowing an
employee to have more authority over her daily job duties and less need for managerial
supervision. In some cases empowerment may not work. Some employees require regular
supervision to be effective. But the employees that show initiative and the desire to alter their
duties to make their job processes more efficient should be allowed to have more of a say in what
they do. Empowerment, in conjunction with the proper training, can be a powerful employee
motivational strategy.
Organizational development:

Why Pursue OD?
Board and staff members are motivated to tackle the hard work of OD only when, they are
convinced of the connection between achievement of mission and organizational development.
Organizational survival –
Whether improving basic systems or providing space to understand and address critical
transitions, organizations credited OD work with their very survival.
“Being the best we can be” –
By improving the quality of their work through human or technical investments, organizations
built their credibility and accountability in the eyes of their constituents and supporters.
Raising more resources for the mission work –
As organizations strengthened their capacity for evaluation, communication, collaboration and
fundraising, they attracted more resources to increase the level and impact of their program
work.
“Walking our talk” –
By focusing on the values that are the foundation of the mission work, OD led organizations to
make a commitment to practice internally what they are seeking to accomplish externally.
Organizational leaders who have experience with long-term organizational development
efforts share the following lessons with those who are considering or are engaged in OD
work:
• OD is essential, takes longer than you think, and can be messy.
• OD is a never-ending process.
Balancing OD and mission work is a challenge.

Manpower Planning
1. Analyzing the current manpower inventory-
Before a manager makes forecast of future manpower, the current manpower status has to be
analyzed. For this the following things have to be noted-
Type of organization
Number of departments
Number and quantity of such departments
Employees in these work units
Once these factors are registered by a manager, he goes for the future forecasting.
Succession Planning System:
Succession planning is nothing more than having a systematic process where managers identify,
assess and develop their staff to make sure they are ready to assume key roles within the
company.
Having this process in place is vital to the success of the organization because the individuals
identified in the plan will eventually be responsible for ensuring the company is able to tackle
future challenges. These "high potential" candidates must be carefully selected and then provided
training and development that gives them skills and competencies needed for tomorrow's
business environment.
For any organization to implement an effective succession plan there are a number of key issues
that need to be considered:
The succession planning program must have the support and backing of the company's
senior level management
Succession planning must be part of an integrated HR process that includes training,
development and performance appraisal
Identify what skills the organization will need in 5, 10 or 15 years
Critical positions must be identified and included in the Company's succession planning
program
Job Enrichment in action
A number of companies have introduced programs of job enrichment in all these, companies
claims have been made that productivity was increased, that absenteeism and turnover reduced,
and improved.
How to make it Effective
The limitation of job enrichment applies mainly to jobs requiring low level of skills. The job of
highly skilled workers professional and manager already contain varying degrees of challenge
and accomplishment. Perhaps these could be enriched considerably more than they are by
applying modern management techniques. And all level particularly in non-managerial levels
several approaches could be made to job make enrichment appeal to higher-level motivations.
The people involved must have a substantial voice in the planning process. It should not
be overlooked that people like to be involved, to be involved to be consulted and to be
given an opportunity to offer suggestions. They like to be considered as people. This
would effectively result in the successful functioning of the programme.
