The Management Process

Planning

Most experts agree that managing involves five functions: planning, organizing, staffing, leading, and controlling. In total, these functions represent the management process. We are going to focus on one of these functions …the staffing or HRM


management process

1- Planning, means establishing goals and creating plans and procedures to achieve these goals:

2. Organizing, means giving specific task assignments to subordinates, establishing departments and channels of authority and communication.

3- leading activities include maintaining morale and motivating subordinates.

4- controlling activities include setting standards such as sales quotas and quality standards and taking corrective action as needed.

Management (HRM)


Human resources Management ( functions)

• Conducting job analysis.

• Planning labor needs.

• Selecting job candidates.

• Orienting and training new employees.

• Managing wages and salaries.

• Providing incentives and benefits.

• Appraising performance.

• Training and developing managers.

• Building employee commitment.


Why human resource management is important to all managers?

For three reasons


1- HR ( activities) are part of every manger’s job .

How

• HRMs and other managers share responsibility for most human resource management activities.

• For example• the manager of any department describe the qualifications need

to fill specific positions. Then the HR team develop sources of qualified applicants and conduct initial screening interview and some tests . Then they refer the best applicants to the line manager, who interviews and selects the one he wants


Cont’d

also, in training the line manager describes what he expects the employee to be able to do. Then the human resource team

designs a training program.


2- : To avoid these mistakes 1. Avoiding Hire the wrong person for the job.

2. Avoiding high turnover..

3. Avoiding Waste time with useless interviews

4. Avoiding discrimination against the minority.

5. Avoiding Have some employees think their salaries are unfair relative to others in the organization.

6. Avoiding a lack of training which can undermine department’s effectiveness.


3-:To improve results and profits Human resources management can help ensure that

managers get result through people because getting results is the bottom line of managing.

Whatever the managers do by putting plans or draw clear organizational charts or use accounting controls, they still fail because they don’t focus on people who are responsible about getting the results.

HRM, and quality control.

staff mangers’ HR duties

2. A coordinative function: staff managers coordinate the personnel activities in the other departments as a (functional authority or a functional control). to ensure that the line managers in these departments are implementing the firm’s HR policies and practices.

3. Assist and advise functions: assisting and advising the line managers is the heart of the human resource manager’s job. They advise the line managers ,so they can better understand the personnel aspects of the organization.

.


Organizing human resource department

The traditional human resource organization tends to divide HR activities into separate sections or functions such as recruitment, training, compensating and labor relations for the whole company.

For ( large organization)

It may contain specialists for each function such as: recruiters, job analysis specialists, training specialists and labor relations specialists.

For ( small organization)

human resource team May have fewer staff such as recruiting manager and compensating manager.

In other word, in small organizations, line managers carry out many personnel duties unassisted. As the organization grows, the need arises for the specialized assistance, knowledge, and advise of a human resource department
