Introduction (Word limit: 10)
Introduction/Static Screen
Human Resource Management deals with efficiently managing personnel activities for businesses resulting in justice and
efficiency in business operations, ultimately paving the way for organisational success.It includes development and
implementation of people strategies which work in accordance with corporate strategies so as to ensure that culture,
value, systems, processes, structure and quality, motivation, commitment of employees contribute fully to achievement of
organisational goals. The basic personnel functions include HR planning , job description , recruitment and selection
,employee relations ,performance management , change management ,employee appraisals , compensation
management , training and development etc. HR can be further divided into IR and core HR. IR deals with various labour
law compliances and labour disputes and core HR deals mostly with corporate functions like recruitment , l and d , PMS
etc.
Robert Owen (1771-1858) is known as father of Human Resources. He was a social reformer and factory owner himself.
He became internationally famous owing to his work called New Lanark and the slogan 8 hours of labour, 8 hours
recreation and 8 hours full rest
HRM developed in response to industrial revolution and subsequent labour handling necessitated by a number of strikes
spanning through the 1800s . In 1868 first labour conference was held in USA . The idea that labour is a factor of
production alongside raw material , machinery , technology too gained great popularity . In india , textile mill strikes in
1900s and post independence spate of labour laws generated regulating unions , working hours, rate of pay ,
retrenchment etc in continuation of Fundamental duties and rights underlined in Indian Constitution formed the basic
ground of HRM. ILO conferences and India being a signatory through its own obligation had to pass many such labour
reforms which often necessitated a function dedicated to control , regulate and nourish Labour as a factor of production
on equal terms as functions dealing with other factors.

HR Planning (Word limit: 12)
Objectives
HR Planning :
It involves managing deployment in sync with manufacturing targets. It requires the following inputs:
1.Accurate description of which work takes how much time by how many people (Time and Motion Study)
2.Accurate description of technical skills of individuals which are to be allocated (Classification of Skills and
competencies)
3.Accurate description of work area for understanding ergonomics of work ( Location Map)
4.Multi Skilling Activity Results ( Excel sheet of Number of People with medium and above skill level in multiple
jobs)
5.Work History Statistics ( Last 3 years Target Actuals of work done in the specified manufacturing facility )
6.Deployment pattern (Last 3 years)
Conditions to be met during HR Planning:
1.All Labour law compliances should be met while planning the deployment . Eg . Women working in night shift in
factories ( ILO ruling in 1919, Factory act 1948 Amendments) , Continuous hours of work ( Factory Act 1948 , ID
act 1926)
2.Wage Calculation Norm not to be altered before notification in Official Gazette and Contract Norms as per
Contract Act 1872 fulfilled , Assent of Labour Commissioner Secured.
3.Job Enrichment and Job enlargement to be done after securing approval from concerned worker and his
supervisor and putting a change in Contract Terminology as agreed as condition of employment.
For Successful Strategic Manpower Planning the following must be met :
1.Requires a team approach and must be viewed as process , not a single time activity
2.Must have support from Senior Management
3.Must align manpower plan to department services and vision
4.Must have line management ownership and be involved in the process of planning
5.Require documentation of each such plan for future planning consultation
6.Department work structure and Organisational Structure should be accounted for during this phase of planning
Overall HR planning involves Demand Forcasting and Current Manpower Inventory . Demand forcasting is done from data
of past sales and orders and Status of Current Manpower Inventory is obtained from Manpower reports on skill level
,deployment , time motion study benchmarks etc
1.Strategic Perspective
2. Maximising Potential
3.Negotiation and Influencing
4. Respect and Value Diversity
5.Effective Communication
6.Planning and Organising
7.Personal Responsibility
8. Problem Solving
Forcasting of Job can be further classified as follows :
Lets take an example of Delhi Vidhut Board to attend to customer complaints . Based on analysis of customer complaints ,
classification of work can be grouped in four categories (X,Y,Z,A)

D. Converting Manhours into Manpower Requirement per day
This is done considering skill interchangeability of maintenance staff for the identified job categories with 20% fatigue
allowance and 20% leave reserve. Therefore, in a given day of 8 man hours per employee net available time for attending
customer complaints gets reduced by 40% per employee i.e only 4.8 man hours per day per employee is available to
attend customer complaints.
Previous years data should be checked whether they are similar or not. The same is quoted below:

Job Description (Word limit: 12)
Objectives
Job Description
a)Accurate description of activities required to be performed in a job (Inputs from Time Motion Study, Description of Job
from Unit Head , Supervisor and Employee himself in the form of task sheet)
Description of Job includes :
1.Description of Aptitude , Knowledge and Skill Required for the job
2.Description of Educational Qualifications
3.Description of Tasks that make up the job
4.Conditions of work under which employee is expected to perform his job (Eg reporting to supervisor, creating
control charts once a day and sharing with shareholders etc etc
Conditions to be kept in mind during writing Job Description:
Job description is to be used for hiring future employees on the said job and hence should never include tasks
which are one time in nature and hence wont be needed in future eg. Erection of a textile machinery
Page 5 of 32
Job description should be elaborate in nature which shall include almost all set of activities that an employee is
supposed to perform in next year or so
There should be a timeframe kept for re drafting and revising JDs as with automation and various other work
method modifications as in course of time many become outdated .

Joining Procedure is usually a process of document verification , background check , new employee document creation and
Induction process that is followed within an organisation and usually varies from cadre to cadre. Turn around time for a member
to join from the time of putting up an advisement for the position is around 1 to 3 months (depends on nature of position for which
hiring is being done)
Hiring Efficiency Evaluation for Recruitment team is mapped through standard ratios. Usually surveys are conducted by
standard HR consulting groups like Hay Group , Mercer etc on these ratios to compare efficiencies of recruitment teams across
organisations and then rank them.

Compensation Benefits
Compensation for HRM is far more than just the work remuneration that one receives in return for a work done. Before
delving deep into compensation and its various models one needs to know about the basic knowledge sets that one
needs to bring to table while handling compensation :
a) Knowledge of Labour Laws ( Particularly Minimum Wages act, Inter State Migration Worker act , Factory Act , ID
Act and Contracts Act)
b) Knowledge of Compensation Models ( Straight Piece Model , Taylors method of compensation determination,
Merricks model of differential piece rate , Gantt Task System of Compensation , Emersons Efficiency Model ,
Rowan Premium Plan ,Scanlon Plan , Priestman Production Plan )
c) Survey Methodologies ( for conducting surveys on shop floor to decide which factors influence worker most and
which should be factored in during creation of plan)
d) Competitive Benchmarking ( To compare current organisation compensation structure with industry benchmarks)
The above knowledge sets have been delved in detail in the second module of Human Resource( Medium Level

Human Resource Management performs the similar functions as Personnel Management but in a qualitatively Distinct
way. The primary differences are as follows :
Personnel Management
It is work centred , directed primarily towards
organisations employees , explaining management
expectation , training them ,arranging for their
compensation etc.
In essence it is basically an operational function
concerned primarily with carrying out the routine day to
day people management activities
It primarily deals with maintenance of personnel and
administrative systems.
Human Resource management can be used to contribute to organisational purposes in the following way: (Chalil, 2013)

Human Resource management was born from the human relations movement which began in early 20 century due to
work by Frederick Taylor (1856-1915).(Wikipedia, n.d.) . Taylor initially explored what he termed scientific management ,
however later moved on to one of the principal inputs of manufacturing process ,labour . This movement was formalised
following the research of Elton Mayo and others , whose Hawthorne studies (1924-1932) focussed on how stimuli
unrelated to financial compensation and working conditions attention and engagement yielded more productive
workers.
Contemporary works of Abraham Maslow , Kurt Lewin , Max Weber (1864-1920) , Frederick Herzberg and David
McClelland ( 1917-1998) formed the basis of studies in organisational behaviour and organizational theory giving room
for an applied discipline.
By the time enough theoretical evidence existed to make a business case for strategic workforce management, changes
in the business landscape (Andrew Carnegie, John Rockefeller) and in public policy (a l Sidney and Beatrice Webb,
Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal) had transformed the employer-employee relationship, and the discipline was
formalized as "industrial and labour relations". (Wikipedia, n.d.)
In 1913, one of the oldest known professional HR associations was formed which was called the Chartered Institute of
Personnel and Development . The institute was founded in England as the Welfare Workers' Association, however
changed its name a decade later to the Institute of Industrial Welfare Workers , and later again the next decade to
Institute of Labour Management before settling upon its current name.
In the meantime , in United States, the world's first institution of higher education dedicated to workplace studies , the
School of Industrial and Labour Relations was formed at Cornell University in 1945.
During the latter half of the 20th century, union membership declined significantly, while workforce management continued
to expand its influence within organizations. "Industrial and labour relations" began being used to refer specifically to
issues concerning collective representation, and many companies began referring to the profession as "personnel
administration". (Wikipedia, n.d.)
In 1948, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM ) was founded as the American Society for Personnel
Administration (ASPA). This institute later became the largest professional HR association .
As 21st century drew closer, advances in transportation and communications greatly fostered workforce mobility and

7.To pay all dues to the retrenched employee within the specified date and update the salary and benefits sheets
accordingly
8.To evaluate the performance of this task usually the number of complaints suffice .
***If the number of complaints is high or if there are a number of cases pending in judiciary against retrenchment done by
an organisation then it would indicate that maybe the Termination mechanism or the person in charge is not being able to
take care of the issue in a suitable way.

7.To ensure that Individual development plans provided is clear, consistent and measurable .
8.To calculate ROI on the entire Training process and take feedback of the entire process (Various Models for
ROI evaluation include usage of Control Groups,Impact Estimates , Post training surveys, Calculation of
improvement in dependent variables)
Creation of Training and development package usually needs the following steps : (Goldstein, 2012)
Need Identification is the most critical step of a training framework. Need Identification
ORGANIZATIONWIDE SKILL AUDIT
[ auditing operation process ]
-CUSTOMER SATISFACTION SURVEY
[ source of inputs ]
-ORGANIZATIONAL METHODS
[ changes/ impact on the organization]
-JOB ANALYSIS METHODS
[changes / impact on the individual jobs]
-INDUSTRY ANALYSES METHODS
[ changes in industry characterisitics / impact on the organization]
-BEHAVIORAL ANALYSES
[data collection by observation ]
Page 20 of 32
-CRITICAL INCIDENTS
[ reports /descriptions of things ]
-HUMAN ANLYSIS METHODS
[paper pencil dianostic tests of knowledge/opinions etc]
-ADVISORY COMMITTEE METHODS
[ seeking advice of departmental heads ]
It must be kept in mind that training and development , recruitment and PMS work in SYNC. If an organisations strategy is
to hire members without any stress on their qualification and experience level (random fitment strategy) then its Training
vertical has to be very competent and elaborate. Again, incase a organisation has a strategy of hiring only experience
professionals then training and development vertical need not be that strong.
Training Module creation involves the following set of activities :
1. Selecting strategies :(Selecting area of training , objective of training ,sample of people to be trained , place and
Budget specifications)
2. Breaking Objectives: (Break the training objective into knowledge, understanding and skill ).
3. Choosing Method : (Breaking down facilities required for providing the training)
4. Deciding on packages: (Cost Benefit analysis of costs of each possible method)
5. Designing the Program (Elaborate breaking down the medium to level of who will train and when and how)
Training overall can be of two types:
1. Technical (Skill focussed)
2. Behavioural ( Behaviour focussed)
Training can be imparted in following ways :
1. Job Instruction Training
2. Vestibule Training (Similar to on job but here similar equipment is used away from actual worksite just for training)
3. Training Centre Training (lecture , conference , case studies are used)
4. Simulation (Business Game etc)
5. Apprenticeship (Longer duration of training just like a worker)
There are many initiatives from government of india which support providing of training and provide a hefty incentive
based on number of workers skilled.
The link for finding out various initiatives is http://www.nsda.gov.in/

Setting performance objective is thus important for the planning process. During this process , employees and managers
meet to clarify expected outcomes for the year and set objectives that link employees job to organisational goals. There
are series of performance discussions between unit heads and HR PMS Teams to understand lead and lag indicator for
performance and their optimal values which can lead to required results. Now after knowing the required values which
should be achieved HR PMS team sets the targets and communicates to the employees across units.
These objectives should be
Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Relevant
Timely
Identifying behaviour for success is the fundamental aspect of the entire process. These performance dimensions so
identified should be observable , job related and specific in nature . Some very common things which should be kept in
mind while setting targets are that not all individuals should have same target and hence members with specific skills be
put in right jobs before initiating PMS cycle and should account for :
1.Interpersonal skills
2.Effective communication
3. Valuing Diversity
4. Analysis and problem solving
5.Decision making and Results orientation

Performance Management is the process of ensuring that the business strategy , operations or processes ,systems the
internals of an organisation and allocation of the resources are best aligned to meet the goals . (Bagchi, 2012) In order to
design processes so as to align with the business objective what is primarily needed is identification of Critical success
factors and Key performance indicators.
Critical success factors (CSF): It is the most critical information related to the factors which drive an organizations
success and should be considered first. It also highlights the processes and tasks that need to be focussed on so that
organisation can be successful (Bagchi, 2012)
For eg . Critical success factor of Dominos Pizza is 30 minute delivery
Key performance indicators (KPI): They are quantified indicators that organization uses to measure for achieving the
critical success factors. There can be more than one KPI per CSF.
For eg . For Dominos pizza the key performance indicator is Percentage of orders delivered free. If the number of orders
delivered free is low then the business is moving towards the direction of success.
There are multiple frameworks propounded to provide a wholesome view of operation and inter linkages of different
metrics. The most widely used frameworks are :
Dupont framework ( Proposed in 1919)

The Performance Management Recording is set out in 6 stages (Monitoring recordkeeping performance, n.d.)T
These include :
1.Setting Performance objectives
2.Developing performance measures
3.Collecting the data
4.Analysing results
5.Implementing performance improvement
6. Reporting and review
Overall guidelines for recording data are as follows : (Monitoring recordkeeping performance, n.d.)
1.All staff should create and keep full and accurate records (Ensured through Periodic Reminding and Penalties)
2.All staff should be able to find records when there is any need (Ensured through PMS Audits)
3.All staff should be aware of the organisational policy/rules for managing email, for managing corporate data on
mobile devices or storing data on removable storage devices (Ensured through induction training)
4.PMS related Records should be stored securely and protected from unauthorised access, alteration, deletion or
loss
5. PMS Records in both paper and digital systems should be disposed of accountably
6.Records should be captured into official recordkeeping systems
7.All recordkeeping requirements for high risk business processes should be identified and documented
8.All business systems that create and keep records should be identified
9.All business systems that keep records of high risk business processes should be assessed for recordkeeping
functionality.

It is a phased approach charting through performance factors, linking strategic thrusts to projects, departmental and
individual activity. During pursuance of PMS Cycle certain steps must always be repeated .
These steps include :
1.Consistently and periodically measuring progress and providing feedback to senior management team
2.Enable emotional contracting with all staff because it is important to link individual commitment with
organisational goals
3.Implement a robust IT based performance management system which would enable transparency and
accountability through effective processes and full utilisation of organisational capabilities
4.Monitor the KPI s and CSF s to track progress in fulfilment of organisational objectives
5.Take regular feedback from employees
6.Perform regular benchmarking with competitor companies to determine whether any new advances in
performance management system has been implemented or not
7. Conduct regular meetings with the line managers and all persons in charge with rating so that they are clear
with the way they are supposed to operate
Handle issues if any that may arise from the implementation of the performance management system.

(Word limit: 400)
In an organisation of today all functional areas are interrelated to one another. Human Resource department which is
entrusted with people management hence needs to work in association with all other function areas too. Working
partnership with different functional areas can be demonstrated as below :
HR Function
Recruitment
Training and
Development
Performance
Management and
Appraisal
Rewards and
Recognition
Employee
Engagement
Termination
Risk Management
Compensation
Employee Relations
Note to Employee
Recruitment strategy impacts T and D , Compensation directly. PMS impacts R and R , Employee Engagement and T
and D. Employee Relations impacts Termination , Employee Engagement and Risk Management Directly.
Eg. A Organisation whose recruitment strategy is to hire individuals (Freshers) , must have a good T and D dept to train
each and every role. If the same organisation had a strategy to hire experienced professionals with prior training only then
t and d need not train at an elaborate way.

Employee Relations is the communication between management and employees concerning workplace decisions,
grievances, conflicts, problem resolutions, unions and issues of collective bargaining.
State: They are the set of government institutions which holds monopoly on legitimate use of power. They try to protect
the interests of Employee since it does not have the same bargaining power as the employer and hence safeguards
against exploitation.
State also tries to achieve 4 basic economic policy objectives :
1.To maintain high levels of objective
2. To ensure price stability
3.To maintain a balance of payment surplus
4. To protect the exchange rate
State intervenes in cases of unethical, illegitimate conduct by either of the two parties. The interventions of state can be
one of the following :
(Role of State in employment Relations, n.d.)
Employer on its own right
A regulator of incomes and prices
An economic manager
A protector of standards
A rule maker and legislator
A promoter of social citizenship guidelines

Mentoring program usually infuses energy into employees professional and job development .Mentoring conducted by
line manager can be of following types :
Informal Mentoring
Involves social guidance, support and discussion provided by the line manager. There is no specific goal to this
mentorship and is not part of organised effort to seek mentoring. Mentoring of this kind can be inefficient and inconsistent.
Formal Mentoring
It is a structured process in which line manager tries to develop leadership skills of the employee.
One to One Mentoring
Due to intimacy of the relationship the line manager gives individual attention to the protg to establish goals and
objectives and overcome potential obstacles.
Group Mentoring
In this process the line manager provides mentorship to a group of employees who have similar goals .The line manager
derives support, ideas, professional liaisons and even friendship with the employees.
Cross Cultural Mentoring
