1- Definitions and objectives of HRM
•HRM is a means to achieve efficiency and effectiveness. It serves other functional areas, so as to help them to attain efficiency in their operations.
•Acquiring right man for the right job at right time in right quantity, developing through right kind of training, utilizing the selected workforce, and maintaining the workforce are the organizational objectives of HRM. Succession planning is an important issue to be taken up as a contemporary organizational objective.
Organizational Objectives
• In today’s world there is shortage of requisite talent. Employees are encouraged by competitive firms to change the jobs. HRM has the responsibility to acquire, develop, utilize, and maintain employees.
• This would be possible only when the HRM helps employees to achieve their personal goals to get their commitment. Creating work-life balance for the employees is a personal objective.
Personal Objectives
Human Resource Management (HRM)
1- Definitions and objectives of HRM
•HRM performs so many functions for other departments. However, it must see that the facilitation should not cost more than the benefit rendered.
Functional Objectives
• HRM must see that the legal, ethical, and social environmental issues are properly attended to. Equal opportunity and equal pay for equal work are the legal issues not to be violated. To take care of farmers (whose land has been acquired for the factory) and tribal’s (who are displaced by industries and mining companies) are the ethical issues.
• The results are clear when these issues are not taken care of. To help the society through generating employment opportunity, creating schools and dispensaries, helping women empowerment are the social responsibility issues.

2- The main functions in HRM
Forecasting Staffing Needs
There are several ways to forecast your business needs, in order to predict how many employees you need to run your business and which roles these employees need to fill.
Some of the factors to consider are: • the situation of the economy, • the internal business finances, • the demand for your products or services• and the growth expectations for your business.
Take a look at your existing staff and see which current employees are likely to transition into new positions and estimate the turnover rate of employees for your business.

Human Resource Management (HRM)
2- The main functions in HRM
Evaluating Supply
Evaluating the supply of employees includes a two-prong process: • evaluating internal staff (which will occur as you are forecasting your
staffing needs) • and evaluating external staff. Externally, you need to evaluate the
demographics of the workforce that is available. Evaluating Supply can include factors such as education, mobility, the
unemployment rate of government laws and regulations that can affect your industry, your business, existing and potential employees.
Evaluating all of these factors helps you determine if you have access to the number and types of employees you need to fill your staffing forecasts.
Planning
Human Resource Management (HRM)
2- The main functions in HRM
Balance Supply and Demand
The final element of the human resources planning is to determine how you are going to balance the demand you have for employees with the supply of employees available.
If you have a shortage of employees, this will determine what type of recruiting efforts your business will participate in to attract the employees it needs to fill needs within the organization.
It also requires you to balance your full-time and part-time needs. If you have a surplus of employees, this requires you to consider employee
layoffs, retirements and situations where employees may need to be demoted or moved into a lateral position (rather than receiving a promotion).

Succession planning, a very important function, enables managers and individuals to identify the right candidates for a position. This function also must be aligned with the business plan to understand and meet requirements for key positions 3-5 years out. While this is often a process reserved for managers and executives, it is more commonly applied across the organization.
Performance Management

7. Compensation and Benefits: This is an integral part of people management. Here organizations try to tie the compensation plan directly to performance management so that compensation, incentives, and benefits align with business goals and business execution.
8. Critical Skills Gap Analysis: This is a process we identify as an important, often overlooked function in many industries and organizations. While often done on a project basis, it can be "business-critical." For example, today industries like the Federal Government, Utilities, Telecommunications, and Energy are facing large populations which are retiring. How do you identify the roles, individuals, and competencies which are leaving? What should you do to fill these gaps? We call this "critical talent management" and many organizations are going through this now.

The procedure involved may be explained thus:
1. Select key jobs. Identify the factors common to all the identified jobs such as skill, effort, responsibility, etc.
2. Divide each major factor into a number of sub factors. Each sub factor is defined and expressed clearly in the order of importance, preferably along a scale.
3. Once the worth of a job in terms of total points is expressed, the points are converted into money values keeping in view the hourly/daily wage rates.

Often times we talk about the importance of a growth mind-set for our young learners but not for the adult learner. I suggest that having a growth mind-set is key for everyone in the human family. Seems
like a wonderful way to find happiness instead of discouragement, frustration and sadness
